Surface modification by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and subsequent heat treatment can provide titanium and its alloys an apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid (SBF), and is used clinically to treat titanium alloy hip joints in Japan. However, there is no systematic study on the relationship between the amount and chemical state of metals incorporated into titanium and the apatite-forming ability in SBF. We have studied this relationship herein by treating NaOH-modified titanium with aqueous solutions containing different types (aluminum, calcium, chromium, copper, zinc, and silver) and concentrations (0.01, 0.1, and 1 M) of metal ions. As a result, we found that formation of anatase and the chemical states of the metals incorporated into titanium control the apatite-forming ability. Further, the chemical states of the metals can be interpreted in terms of the ionization tendency. These findings would aid future design of metal-doped bioactive titanium for orthopedic or dental implants.
