What is Bioactive Effects of Low-Temperature Argon–Oxygen Plasma on a Titanium Implant Surface about?

Although titanium is the most commonly used dental implant material, its biological aging directly leads to a lower rate of osseointegration. The aim of this study is to treat aged titanium disc surfaces using low-temperature argon-oxygen plasma (LTAOP) to obtain a more hydrophilic surface in order to enhance biological activities of osteoblasts on dental implant materials. In this study, smooth-machined titanium (SM Ti) and sandblasted and acid-etched titanium (SLA Ti) substrates were used. Aged titanium discs (SM and SLA Ti) were activated by LTAOP and the surface properties were analyzed. Osteoblasts were then seeded onto the aged and LTAOP-treated surfaces. Cell morphology, viability, and features of osteogenesis were examined. We showed that after the LTAOP treatment, the surfaces of both SM and SLA titanium substrates become more hydrophilic with a larger active oxygen species composition, whereas no obvious morphological changes were observed. Osteoblasts were found to be attached and stretched well on the surfaces of LTAOP treatment specimens. Moreover, the proliferation and osteocalcin secretion of osteoblasts on the plasma-activated titanium samples were superior to the u
