Effect of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet on hydrophilicity and cellular activity of SLA-treated titanium surface.

Along the many surface treatment of titanium (Ti) for dental implant, sandblasted with large-grit corundum and acid etched (SLA) treatment on titanium is one of the most popular choices of surface treatment in recent years due to its excellent ability in osseointegration. However, despite such popularity, poor surface wettability of SLA treated titanium has been the main downside and many attempts were carried out to resolve this problem. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
