A more noble and biocompatible Ti alloy was achieved at fluence of 140Jcm−2where the implant indicated a higher degree of hardness (825HV), higher corrosion resistance (−0.21V) and highest hydrophilicity (i.e. θc=37°) compared with 70° of the control sample. These values corresponded to 58 and 39mNm−1of surface tension respectively. The laser treated samples at 140Jcm−2showed higher wettability characteristics than mechanically roughened surface. Cell growth and their spreading condition in a specific area were analyzed by SEM and Image J Program software. Clearly, more cells were attached (1.2×105) to and spread (488μm2) over the surface at 140Jcm−2than in any other condition. Pathologically, the treated samples indicated no sign of infection.
