Abstract
Problems connected with the improvement of medical implant fixation in bone tissue are
addressed by the formation of a highly developed surface and by the activation of the implant
surface with an electret coating. The realization of such surface modifications is expedient
for implants manufactured from tantalum or niobium or finished by coatings made from these
metals, as they are chemically more inert than titanium. The techniques have been tested on
animals followed by histological and mechanical analysis
