Abstract

Customized titanium (Ti) meshes were treated with O2 plasma and acrylic acid plasmapolymerization (PPAAc). The optimum conditions for PPAAc were as follows: 20 W, 15 mTorr, and 5 min. Hydroxyapatite formation increased in Ti meshes treated with O2 and PPAAc compared with that in untreated Ti meshes. Moreover, MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited improved cell spreading, attachment, proliferation in PPAAc treated Ti mesh than in untreated Ti mesh. This result revealed that O2 and PPAAc surface treatment on Ti mesh was potential tool for improving the bone formation on the Ti mesh clinically application.
