Wettability and cellular response of UV light irradiated anodized titanium surface

Wettability and cellular response of UV light irradiated anodized titanium surface

PURPOSE The object of this study was to investigate the effect of UV irradiation (by a general commercial UV sterilizer) on anodized titanium surface. Surface characteristics and cellular responses were compared between anodized titanium discs and UV irradiated anodized titanium discs. MATERIALS AND METHODS TITANIUM DISCS WERE ANODIZED AND DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING GROUPS: Group 1, anodized ...

Surface characteristics and bioactivity of an anodized titanium surface

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and biological response of an anodized titanium surface by cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity analysis. METHODS Commercial pure titanium (Ti) disks were prepared. The samples were divided into an untreated machined Ti group and anodized Ti group. The anodization of cp-Ti was formed using a constant voltage ...

Cellular Response to Surface Wettability Gradient on Microtextured Surafaces

Effects of a calcium phosphate-coated and anodized titanium surface on early bone response.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a calcium phosphate (CaPO4)-coated and anodized titanium surface in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS A turned surface was employed as a negative control. A sandblasted/acid-etched surface and an anodized surface were used as positive controls, and a CaPO4-coated and anodized (CPA) surface was investigated as the experi...

Surface Modification of Anodized Titanium for Calcium Phosphate Coatings

The anodization of titanium involves the formation of a thin, dense and compact, oxide layer. In this process the rutile structure of the original titanium oxide is converted into an anatase structure. It is this anatase structure and how it influences the bonding properties of the sol gel coating of hydroxyapatite (HAp) was the main aim of this research project. "he titanium samples were anodi...
