Effect of surface grain boundary density on preosteoblast proliferation on titanium
BSTRACTStudies since 2004 have shown that the cytocompatibility of ultrafine grain (UG) commercial purity (CP) titanium exceeds that of coarse grain (CG) CP titanium (Ti) by 30% to 20-fold. To isolate the factors affecting this large reported variability of CP titanium’s cytocompatibility
discs of UG and CG titanium were fabricated with controlled texture and roughness. The discs were seeded with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells and cultured for 72 h. The proliferation of cells on polished UG-Ti exceeded unpolished CG-Ti 3.04-fold. Cell proliferation was found to correlate with a new biophysical parameter
the average grain boundary length per surface-attached cell.
