Purpose: To examine the behavior and function of human gingival fibroblasts growing on healing abutments with or without laser-textured topography. Materials and Methods: Human primary gingival connective tissue fibroblasts were cultured on healing abutments with machined or laser-textured (Laser-Lok, BioHorizons) surfaces. Cellular and molecular responses were evaluated by a variety of tests, including cell density assay (WST-1), fluorescence microscopy, real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and detachment tests. Results: The machined surface showed monodirectional traces and scratches from milling, whereas the laser-textured surface showed a distinct morphology consisting of monodirectional mesoscale channels (15-µm pitch) and woven oblique microridges formed within the channels. There were no differences in initial fibroblast attachment, subsequent fibroblast proliferation, or collagen production between the machined and laser-textured surfaces. Fibroblasts growing on a laser-textured surface were found to spread in one direction along the mesochannels, while cells growing on machined surfaces tended to spread randomly. Fibroblasts on laser-textured surfaces were 1.8 times more resistant to detachment than those on machined surfaces. An adhesive glycoprotein (fibronectin) and transmembrane adhesion linker gene (integrin ß-1) were upregulated on laser-textured surfaces. Conclusions: The increased fibroblast retention, uniform growth, and increased transcription of cell adhesion proteins compellingly explain the enhanced tissue-level response to laser-created and hybrid-textured titanium surfaces. These results provide a cellular and molecular rationale for the tissue reaction to this unique surface; in addition, they support its extended use, from implants and healing abutments to diverse prosthetic components where enhanced soft tissue responses would be desirable.
