“…Numerous studies have shown the ALP activation effect of surface-modified materials 18,23,24) and our results support these conclusions. Furthermore, the observed increase of OCN production in the presence of the nanostructured surfaces is also in agreement with previous findings 25,26) .…”

“…Although the underlying mechanism remained to be fully elucidated, hydrophilicity was purportedly one of the crucial factors. UV irradiation has been proved to improve the hydrophilicity of titanium surfaces [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . Thus, it might also be a relatively convenient way to improve the bioactivity of titanium surfaces.…”

“…It has been reported that Ca-and P-containing surfaces enhanced both cell response in vitro 5) and osseointegration in vivo 6) . Recently, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation has been reported to improve the hydrophilicity of various modified titanium surfaces [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , to the effect of improving the bioactivity 7,8,10) and cell response [11][12][13][14] of implants both in vitro and in vivo 9,15) . However, the mechanisms that underlie both hydrophilicity and biological response changes were still not fully understood and need further investigation.…”

“…The as-produced titanium surface is hydrophilic, but with time carbon compounds adhere to the titanium surface, reducing the contact ratio and strength of the titanium/bone contact 23,24) . The carbon compounds on the titanium surface increase sharply over 4 weeks after production, and then gradually over the next 3 months, while absorption of the proteins necessary for cell adhesion and osteogenesis falls notably.…”
