  • Surface roughness was analyzed.
  • MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the modified titanium surfaces.

    • Main Results:

    • A homogeneous and strongly attached MWCNT coating was achieved on the collagen-coated titanium.
    • The MWCNT coating significantly increased the surface roughness of the titanium.
    • MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited good proliferation and strong adhesion on the MWCNT-coated titanium.

    Conclusions:

    • The MWCNT coating on titanium demonstrates excellent adhesion and enhances surface properties.
    • The improved cell adhesion suggests potential benefits for titanium implants.
    • This surface modification could lead to enhanced performance of dental implants.
