    This study aims to prevent the release of Ni+2 and increase the biocompatibility of NiTi-shape-memory dental alloys with the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating by preserving the shape-memory feature in the oral environment. The TiO2-ceramic coating and Ag-doped TiO2 coating have been grown on shape-memory, co-atoms’ dental NiTi alloys with the MAO method. Biocompatibility properties of the coating were determined by in-vitro tests. In-vitro tests have been made as retention tests in a simulated body fluid (SBF). Whether the grown surface coating impacts the shape-memory properties of the base material or not has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. It was observed as a result of retention tests that bone-like apatite form occurred on the surface of TiO2-coated NiTi and Ag-doped TiO2-coated NiTi coating. It was determined as a result of retention tests in SBF that the Ni+2 release rate from the base material was below the limit of detection in coated samples. As a result of DSC analysis, it was not observed any significant changes in transformation temperature with the MAO coating. It was concluded that the thin-film coatings formed by MAO technique prevent the release of Ni in the oral environment and increase the biocompatibility by preserving shape memory properties of NiTi dental alloys.

    In this study, TiO 2 coatings were grown with nano-Ag doped and micro-arc oxidation technique on NiTi shape memory alloy. The antibacterial sensitivity and corrosion resistance characteristics of both coatings were investigated. The microstructure and composition analyses of the coatings were performed with scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results showed that there were only TiO 2 crystal phases (anatase and rutile) on the coating. The results showed that a clean and dense oxide layer was grown on the surface successfully. The surface of nano-Ag-doped TiO 2-coated samples appear to be smoother than the surface of the coatings without Ag. The corrosion tests of the coated and uncoated samples were carried out in three different environments (simulated body fluid, synthetic saliva, and cola) at 37 ∘ which is human body temperature. The corrosion tests showed that the corrosion resistance of TiO 2-coated and nano-Ag-doped TiO 2-coated samples was much higher than the corrosion resistance of the NiTi substrate. Seven different bacteria including (S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella enteritidis, Yersinia enterocolitica, and E. coli, P.aeruginosa) which have the human pathogen feature were used in the antibacterial susceptibility tests. The process was conducted based on the disk diffusion method to test the susceptibility of bacterial strains on the selected coated and uncoated samples, and antimicrobial activity was evaluated in the nano-Ag-doped TiO 2-coated material; P.aeruginosa, Y. enterocolitica, and E. coli (zone diameter of 8–14 mm) were found to be moderately susceptible; S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, B. subtilis, and S. enteritidis (zone diameters of 8–14 mm) were found to be resistant. The antimicrobial activity of the coating material NiTi was found to be sensitive for all antibacterial tests. According to the TiO 2-coated material results, S. aureus, P.aeruginosa, L. monocytogenes, E. coli were found to be moderately sensitive and Y. enterocolitica, S. enteritidis, and B. subtilis were found to be resistant.
