Gaps in the existing literature

Choice of Pattern
Use of Nanosecond over Femtosecond laser
Inconsistency in result of research conducted on
correlation between surface roughness and
hydrophilic/phobic nature.

Objective of the Project

To alter surface characteristics, so as to enhance hydrophilic nature of the
surface.
To understand the impact of introducing micro and nano roughness on
Ti1313 samples on characteristics such as wettability, HAP precipitation and
roughness evaluation, etc.
Comparative studies to determine an efficient combination of different laser
patterns followed by anodization on Ti1313 samples.
Based on the results to choose a suitable principal orthopaedic or
orthodontic application of the preferred characterized sample
