| Abstract | |
The titanium alloy composition and microdesign affect the dynamic interplay between the bone cells and titanium surface in the osseointegration process. The current study aimed to evaluate the surface physicochemical properties, electrochemical stability, and the metabolic response of the MC3T3-E1 cells (pre-osteoblast cell line) cultured onto titanium-15molybdenum (Ti-15Mo) discs treated with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or strontium-loading by the hydrothermal method. The x-ray dispersive energy spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed no trace of impurities and the possible formation of hydrated strontium oxide (H2O2Sr), respectively. The confocal laser microscopy (CLSM) analysis indicated that titanium samples treated with strontium (Sr) showed greater surface roughness. The acid/alkali treatment prior to the hydrothermal Sr deposition improved the surface free energy and resistance to corrosion of the Ti-15Mo alloy. The acid/alkali treatment also provided greater retention of the Sr particles on the Ti-15Mo surfaces accordingly with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. The AlamarBlue and fluorescence analysis indicated noncytotoxic effects against the MC3T3-E1 cells, which allowed cells' adhesion and proliferation, with greater cells' spreading in the Sr-loaded Ti-15Mo samples. These findings suggest that Sr deposition by the hydrothermal method has the potential to enhance the physicochemical properties of the Ti-15Mo previously etched with H3PO4 and NaOH, and also improve the initial events related to cell-mediated bone deposition.
