A novel method for inducing bioactivity of dental ceramic/bioglass composites by using laser energy has been proposed.
Application of specific laser irradiation parameters results in 3 times faster formation of HA coating compared to conventional biomimetic method.
A HA film with mineral composition close to dental cementum could be obtained.
LAB process is potentially applicable for functionalization of materials with low bioactivity under precise control of laser irradiation parameters.
