“…Materials for biomedical implants should present excellent biological properties and suitable mechanical properties [33]. Previous analysis revealed favorable results for a new alloy composed of Ta, Zr and Nb, as it did not exhibit detrimental effects and it showed to be atoxic [7,8,27,31,[33][34][35][36][37]40,43,44,50], opposed to Ti6Al4V [4,5]. Our results showed that the Ti-35Nb alloy was not cytotoxic, presenting similar or higher values of cell viability when compared to Ti in all periods, as reported by previous studies [6,8,33].…”
