TAV toxicity and alternative of using Ti1313[9-10].
The -titanium alloys offer the highest strength to weight ratios and appealing combinations of strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. [11] Ti1313 (E= 64-83 GPa) similar to the bone (E=80GPa) but + Ti6Al4V (E=105-120 Gpa)[11]

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
