Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of long-term exposure to Ringer's solution on the physical properties of biodegradable polymer coatings on the titanium 6-aluminum 7-niobium alloy substrate. 30 day, 60 day and 90 day research periods are applied. The work is performed on a titanium 6-aluminum 7-niobium alloy modified by sandblasting and anodic oxidation. Three biodegradable polymer coatings: poly(glycolide-ϵ-caprolactone); poly(glycolide-ϵ-caprolactone-L,L-lactide) and poly(D,L-lactide-glycolide), containing ciprofloxacin are used in the study. The coatings are deposited by dip-coating method. Topography, wettability, and adhesion of the coatings are analyzed. The analysis of the test results indicates that regardless of the type of coating and the number of dips, the obtained coatings are continuous, hydrophilic, map the topography of the substrate, and slight change roughness after exposure to Ringer's solution. After three months of exposure to Ringer's solution, an increase in wettability and, at the same time, a significant decrease in adhesion is observed. The poly(D,L-lactide-glycolide) coatings are characterized by the greatest adhesion to the substrate.
