- Abstract
Titanium‐based alloys, for example, Ti6Al4V, are frequently employed for load‐bearing orthopedic and dental implants. Growth of new bone tissue and therefore osseointegration can be promoted by the implant's microtopography, which can lead to improved long‐term stability of the implant. This study investigates the effect that an organized, periodical microstructure produced by an electron beam (EB) technique has on the viability, morphology, and osteogenic differentiation capacity of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) in vitro. The technique generates topographical features of 20 μm in height with varying distances of 80–240 μm. Applied alterations of the surface roughness and local alloy composition do not impair hMSC viability (>94%) or proliferation. A favorable growth of hMSC onto the structure peaks and well‐defined focal adhesions of the analyzed cells to the electron beam microstructured surfaces is verified. The morphological adaptation of hMSC to the underlying topography is detected using a three‐dimensional (3D) visualization. In addition to the morphological changes, an increase in the expression of osteogenic markers such as osteocalcin (up to 17‐fold) and osteoprotegerin (up to sixfold) is observed. Taken together, these results imply that the proposed periodical microstucturing method could potentially accelerate and enhance osseointegration of titanium‐based bone implants.
