Nano-titanium coating on glass surface to improve platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) quality.

ABSTRACT: The quality of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is contingent on the surface characteristics interfacing with blood. Titanium's superior platelet activation, surpassing silica, has made Titanium-platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) a favored autogenous bone graft material due to its extended degradation time. Pioneering a novel approach, this study aims to achieve an enhanced fibrin structure using glass tubes coated with nano-titanium, marking the surface's debut in our PRF production endeavors. Employing a rapid thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) process under high vacuum, we conducted comprehensive analyses of the tubes. Comprehensive analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), were conducted
