BRIEF REVIEW OF MODERN TRENDS IN THE SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR COATINGS OF MEDICAL IMPLANTS AND TECHNOLOGIES OF THEIR MANUFACTURE

Abstract

Currently, one of the priority problems associated with public health issues is the development of high-tech competitive technologies to produce affordable medical implants that meet international quality standards. The goal of this brief review article is to analyze the latest trends and achievements in the field of new technologies and materials for medical implants, with a focus on materials and technologies for the endoprostheses fused with the patient's bone, that is, implants and technologies that are in demand all over the world and can be implemented in the Republic Kazakhstan. The article analyzes the current needs of society in medical implants, new trends in their production and application in clinical practice. Particular attention is paid to the concepts of patient specificity, biocompatibility, and antibacterial resistance of implants, as well as materials and technologies that provide patient-oriented implants with improved surface biocompatibility properties. The review showed the growing needs of society in orthopedic and dental implants and made it possible to identify the main approaches and unsolved problems in the production of well-engrafted implants, as well as the main trends in their production, including additive manufacturing and plasma treatment of the surface of endoprostheses, including plasma spraying of multilayer coatings.
