The physiological implantation of biomaterials is the most widespread solution to remedy musculoskeletal problems and ends up being used in various parts of the human body, such as: transition of shoulders, knees, hips, orodental structures, among others. The successful use of biomaterials depends on their synergy with the body, as well as their degradation in the body environment. In this way, the use of materials that are not toxic to the organism, that present tissue stability and compatibility, that have good chemical and physical properties are some of the desired requirements in the biomedical sector. Objective: Motivate young researchers to develop new methodologies for the use of Nb2O5 in applied and innovative research in the biomedical area. Methods: Integrative review regarding the use of the reactive sputtering technique for the deposition of Nb2O5 thin films on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface. Despite the interesting properties of Nb2O5, there are very few works in the literature that use it for the surface functionalization of biomaterials. Conclusion: In the present work, the latest advances regarding the obtainment of the Nb2O5 thin films by using reactive sputtering technique were presented and discussed, bringing important information regarding corrosive and biofunctional properties.
