Over the past few years, surface modification of implant surfaces has gained substantial attention as a promising solution to avoid the failure of biomaterials after implantation. Although researchers suggest several strategies for surface functionalization of titanium-based implants, only a few studies have compared the osteoimmunomodulatory effects of ionic nanostructures and biofunctionalization in the same biological model. Enamel matrix derivate (EMD) and strontium are both known for their positive influences on bone cell responses.
