Titanium Surface Characteristics, Including Topography and Wettability, Alter Macrophage Activation (2015, background): “An increase in the differentiation of MSCs and their production of osteogenic and angiogenic microenvironment has been shown to occur with increased roughness and wettability of a Ti surface [24].”
Significance of calcium phosphate coatings for the enhancement of new bone osteogenesis--a review. (2014, background): “Hence, plasma-assisted and wet-chemical deposition techniques represent powerful tools for the production of surfaces that allow us to understand, modulate, and elicit the desired reactions from the tissues surrounding the implants and will ultimately lead to more satisfactory tissue regeneration [2”
Multifunctional Coatings to Simultaneously Promote Osseointegration and Prevent Infection of Orthopaedic Implants (2016, positive): “[11-18] However, the two issues are intimately related, as laid out by Gristina in his description of the “race for the surface”; if the host’s cells can reach and occupy the implan t surface first, not only will stronger tissue integration be achieved, but a defensive bar rier will also be establis”
A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces II: Biological and clinical aspects. (2014, background): “Surface topography can also have a direct effect on the biological response of bone, as microrough implants have proven to be superior to their smooth counterparts [17].”
