Chemical treatments have been thought to be promised methods for improving bioactivity of titanium. In this work, the effect of precalcification with boiling saturated Ca(OH)2 solution on bioactivation of titanium was investigated. After precalcification and soaking in supersaturated Ca-P solution (SCP), calcium phosphate rapidly precipitated onto the surfaces of titanium, and after only three days an uniform apatite layer was found up to thickness of a few micrometers. The observation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the coating was composed of a number of small crystal grains. The investigation by X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the coating was Ca-deficient carbonate apatite. Based on the analyses for the surfaces and SCP, a mechanism of precipitation of apatite was proposed in thermal dynamics and kinetics.
