According to studies conducted in vitro, the topography of implant surface seems to influence the interaction between material and bacteria. This novel titanium surface, characterized by antiadhesive activity, could help to prevent medical device infections[1].
The open cell form of surface improves osteoconductive properties and adhesion behaviour of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC)[2]. Tests results highlighted that the open cell form with interconnected pores, resembling the inner structure of the native bone, allows cells to better adhere inside the specimen. Likewise, tests shown more suitable osteoconductive properties, being the profile of osteogenic markers improved. Results demonstrated that the surfaces have a dynamic influence on DPSC behavior toward adhesion and osteogenic commitment.
