Abstract: Objective To establish the surface of titanium implants treated by SLM, and explore the relevant mechanisms that may improve the osseointegration level of implants through in vitro experiments. Methods Implant and titanium sheet samples were prepared and divided into SLM group, sand blasting and acid etching (SLA) group and control group. Surface microtopography was observed, roughness was measured, and mechanical properties were evaluated. HGF-C339 cells was used to observe the morphology, growth and proliferation of surface cells. Results The surface of SLM group was honeycomb, with irregular pores, rich layers and peak-valley shape. roughness of SLM surface was the highest, the mean Ra value was(0.908±0.015)μm, the mean Rz value was(1.589±0.160.3)μm. SLM surface had suitable mechanical strength, the mean yield strengths were(110±2.5)MPa. SLM surface biosafety was well evaluated, and the adhesion growth of HGF-C339 cells was normal. Conclusion The surface of titanium implants treated with SLM has good bio-safety, high surface roughness, and suitable mechanical strength. The surface of titanium implants treated with SLM could be a new approach for surface treatment.
