Abstract

We will modify pieces of Ti64AlV medical-grade titanium, commonly used in dental and orthopedic industries, through laser ablation, to optimize osseointegration, the growth of bone that anchors a surgical implant. Such conditions would indicate that this modification of the titanium will lead to a shorter time for recovery and higher bone to implant contact rate for titanium implants. The MG-63 cell line, a type of osteosarcoma, was chosen to measure cell adhesion to a surface that is altered using the Nd:YVO4 picosecond pulsed laser.
