Combining sandblasting and pink anodisation of Ti implants as a promising method for improving fibroblast adhesion and immune response.

This study examined the effect of combining the sandblasting and anodising of titanium alloys used in implants on the cell response and protein adsorption patterns. The titanium samples were divided into four groups depending on the surface treatment: machining (MC), pink anodisation (PA), sandblasting (MC04) and a combination of the last two (MC04 + PA). Their physicochemical properties were analysed by SEM/EDX, Raman, contact angle measurements and profilometry.
