Purpose:
The effects of the voltage during anodic oxidation on cell attachment and spreading of human osteoblasts in early stage were investigated.
Methods:
The samples were anodized in the electrolyte of 0.03 M calcium glycerophosphate (Ca-GP) mixed with 0.15 M calcium acetate (CA) under current density of 70 A/m2 and different voltages, 140V, 200V or 260V. The surface roughness of the specimens and the attachment and spreading of human osteoblasts in early stage were investigated. SPSS13.0 for windows was used for one-way ANOVA.
Results:
The surface average roughness of cp Ti was significantly improved from 0.17 micro m to 0.23 micro m, 0.26 micro m, 0.33 micro m, respectively, by anodic oxidation with increased voltage (P<0.05). After 2 hours of cell culture, cell skeleton was reorganized and cell morphology became more irregular with the increase of anodizing voltages. Cell attachment on the specimens anodized under 260V was significantly higher than on the surface of cp Ti (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The surface properties of cp Ti can be affected by anodic oxidation. The early cell attachment and spreading were enhanced with anodizing voltage.
