biometals used as dental implants, titanium and its alloys have noticeable attracted two due to their exceptional biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties regarding high hardness, low elastic modulus and low density [2]–[9]. The critical factor of an excellent implant device is that its Young’s moduli should be similar to that of the human bone. The reabsorption of adjacent bone tissue occurs provided that there is a great difference in modulus between the implant device and adjacent
