The invention relates to a method of producing medical prostheses or
implants having a surface microroughness and/or an induced oxide layer,
comprising a treatment involving the ionic implantation of controlled
amounts of elements such as CO, C, H, N or O in endosseous implants or
prostheses produced from metals, metal alloys or biocompatible composite
materials. The surface treatment causes changes in the surface
characteristics of the endosseous implants or prostheses in terms of
nanoroughness, hydrophilic properties and chemical composition,
significantly increasing the degree of osseous integration thereof.
