Enhancement of titanium surfaces using different acid solutions at room temperature to improve bone cell responses.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Early osseointegration of titanium (Ti) dental implants relies on the surface topography. Surface modification of Ti seeks to enhance bone regeneration around implants. Acid etching is the simple, less technique sensitive and cost-effective technique for surface treatment. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the simplified acid etching technique at room temperature lies in its capacity to enhance both physical properties and biological reactions relevant to bone.

Materials and methods

Utilizing sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), five distinct acid solutions were prepared, and the acid etching process was executed at five different time points at room temperature. The surface characterization of nanoscale modifie
