“…Moreover, the use of coatings provides us an important tool to evaluate the effect of different surface topographies, at both nano-and micro-scale, preserving the same surface chemistry. TiO 2 and ZrO 2 were chosen since it has already been demonstrated that both materials are biocompatible; TiO 2 as the passive coating on Ti-based implants [26] and ZrO 2 as a ceramic-based dental implant [27]. In the particular case of the interaction TiO 2 surfaces-biological media, experimental and theoretical works have shown that the surface atomic arrangement, which depends on both the crystalline structure and the exposed crystalline plane or facet, plays an important role for protein adsorption [28][29][30].…”

“…Over the past thirty years, different approaches to alter implant surface characteristics have gained attraction in the bioengineering and biomedical field [8]. Surface modifications aim to increase control over tissue and cellular response through the modulation of the basic mechanisms of cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation and maturation [9,10].…”

Recently, the production of well-defined patterned surfaces with random or regular micro and nano-features has brought new opportunities for research and development in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Among advanced micro and nano processing technologies, laser surface texturing (LST) stands out due to its simplicity, flexibility, precision, reproducibility and relatively low cost.This work studies the development of patterned surfaces controlled by of LST into biomedical grade V titanium, Ti -6 Al -4 V-alloy. We present different cross-hatched micropatterns followed by the characterisation of surface morphology and topography. Structural integrity of the produced patterns is evaluated by friction tests against bone, mimicking the insertion of an implant. Wettability is studied as it is crucial for protein adsorption and cell adhesion. The results show that the surface topography obtained using different patterning plans influences the wetting behaviour and the coefficient of friction against bone.

“…Surface tension (in other words the wettability of the surface), charge and material composition are the distinctive properties we try to modify with physicochemical techniques. Techniques such as: sandblasting; acid-etching; anodization (oxidation); ion-implantation; coatings on the surface and lastly melting and ablating layers of material using lasers [ 1 , 2 ].…”

The review critically evaluates the current state of studies investigating laser irradiation for modifying titanium surfaces to enhance the biointegration of dental implants. Laser modification is a rapidly evolving physicochemical surface modification process with the potential to revolutionize dental implant technology. A thorough search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Science Direct, MEDLINE, and Web of Knowledge, was conducted to identify relevant articles. The review focuses on the surface features of laser-modified implants, encompassing in vitro cell culture experiments, rare animal experiments, and limited clinical trials. Of the 26 selected sources, 21 describe surface features, while only two involve in vivo human experiments. The review highlights the lack of long-term clinical experience and calls for further research to mature these technologies. Despite the absence of a consensus on optimal laser types and settings, the overall results are promising, with few negative outcomes. As research in laser irradiation of titanium surfaces progresses, significant advancements in dental implant technology and improved patient well-being are anticipated.
