Popis: New surface modifications on pure Ti for prosthetic implants were developed and tested. The following treatments and their combinations were studied: Pitting, anodizing, and chemical deposition of Ca-phosphates. Mesenchymal stem cells were cultured on these Ti substrates to evaluate the quality of the proposed treatments. The closing of superficial oxide pores produced by plasma anodization of Ti was carried out by chemical deposition of Ca-phosphates and others compounds by immersion methods in different baths in order to promote a controlled release mechanisms of pharmaceutical compounds from the implant to the organism. The results were evaluated by the statistical analysis of the reduction of the pores density. Cells culture results indicated that the surface treatments were able to promote cellular proliferation and complete coverage of the Ti surfaces. The obtained calcium phosphate deposition was efficient in closing approximately 50% of the pores, although the deposition was not homogenous on the whole surface.
