Abstract:
In this research, the focus was on preparing green implants with biocompatibility and appropriate mechanical properties, in addition to improving their anti-inflammatory properties. Hydroxyapatite was extracted from natural sources (eggshells, fish bones and cockle shells) by calcination method. For the first group, natural hydroxyapatite was mixed with a prepared natural polymer (aloe Vera gel + alginate), stainless steel samples were then coated. For the second group, mastic was added to the coating material. The results proved that the implant has biological properties, as the result of MTT shows an increase in the availability of cells for all samples. The tests also proved that these implants have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, and the addition of the mastic led to an improvement in the inhibition of bacteria and fungi.
