Abstract

Titanium and its alloys are extensively utilized in dental and medical applications as implant materials. These implants have undergone continuous development and refinement to leverage the unique properties of titanium and its alloys. However, a persistent challenge is the detrimental impact of bacterial colonization on treatment effectiveness, which can potentially lead to implant failure. To address this issue, researchers have explored surface modifications to influence bacterial adhesion and enhance treatment outcomes of titanium dental implants. In this study, titanium metal-based material samples, namely Plain, Line Type 1, and Line Type 2, were subjected to laser cutting technology to achieve 10.95 mm diameters. These samples had equal thickness (0.50 mm height) but varied in terms of shaped lines and line spacing on the titanium plate surfaces. The primary objective of this research was to develop an optimal pattern or structure on the surface of titanium plates that could effectively minimize bacterial adhesion and thereby enhance the longevity of the implants.
