Biocompatibility observation of titanium surfaces by laser scanning confocal microscope / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective: To observe the biocompatibility of titanium implant surfaces using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Methods; Titanium implant surfaces were prepared by 3 different methods. Osteoblasts were seeded onto the titanium surfaces. The cells were investigated by LSCM. Results: The sand-blasted titanium surfaces showed the best biocompatibility. Conclusion; The biocompatibility of titanium implant surfaces depends on the surface preparation method.
