In vitro evaluation of osteoblastic cell adhesion on machined osseointegrated implants

At present the major consideration in planning an implant design is to seek biocompatible surfaces that promote a favorable response from both cells and host tissues. Different treatments of implant surfaces may modulate the adhesion, proliferation and phenotypic expression of osteoblastic cells. For this reason, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of an implant surface, observing adhesion, cell morphology and proliferation of osteoblast-like cells cultivated on a commercially available titanium dental implant (Titamax Liso®, Neodent, Curitiba, PR, Brazil). The i...
