Implants subjected to tribocorrosion release metallic ions and solid wear debris, which can cause a peri-implant disease, bone loss, and eventually implant loosening. TiO2 coatings have a wide application range owing to their biocompatibility. In this study, the Ti-29Nb-13Ta-7.1 Zr alloy was fabrica...
