Schematic diagram of the fabrication procedures for the micro/nanostructured titanium and illustration for the possible antibacterial mechanism of the Ag NPs immobilized on the SLA-produced titanium oxide layer. Notes: 30 min-15 Ag-PIII, titanium surfaces treated by first SLA procedure and then silver plasma immersion ion implantation at 15 kV for 30 min; 60 min-15 Ag-PIII, titanium surfaces treated by first SLA procedure and then silver plasma immersion ion implantation at 15 kV for 60 min; 90 min-15 Ag-PIII, titanium surfaces treated by first SLA procedure and then silver plasma immersion ion implantation at 15 kV for 90 min. Abbreviations: Ag NPs, silver nanoparticles; SLA, sandblasted, large grit, and acid-etched; Ag-PIII, silver plasma immersion ion implantation; min, minutes.
