Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of etched microgrooves on the hydrophilicity of Ti and osteoblast responses.
Material And Methods: Microgrooves were applied on Ti to have 15 and 60 µm width, and 3.5 and 10 µm depth by photolithography, respectively. Further acid etching was applied to create Ti surfaces with etched microgrooves. Both smooth- and acid-etched Ti were used as the controls. The hydrophilicity of Ti was analyzed by determining contact angles. Cell proliferation and osteogenic activity of MC3T3 mouse preosteoblasts were analyzed by bromodeoxyuridine assay and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity test, respectively. One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used for statistics.
Results: Etched microgrooves significantly increased the hydrophilicity of Ti compared to the smooth Ti. 60 µm-wide etched microgrooves significantly enhanced cell proliferation, whereas the osteogenic activity showed statistically non-significant differences between groups. Result of the osteogenic activity significantly correlated with those of hydrophilicity and cell proliferation. Hydrophilicity was determined to be an influential factor on osteogenic activity.
Conclusion: This study indicates that increase in hydrophilicity of Ti caused by etched microgrooves acts as an influential factor on osteogenic activity. However, statistically non-significant increase in the ALP activity suggests further investigation.

A holistic biointegration of percutaneous bone-anchored metallic prostheses with both hard and soft tissues dictates their longevity in the human body. While titanium (Ti) has nearly solved osseointegration, soft tissue integration of percutaneous metallic prostheses is a perennial problem. Unlike the firm soft tissue sealing in biological percutaneous structures (fingernails and teeth), foreign body response of the skin to titanium (Ti) leads to inflammation, epidermal downgrowth and inferior peri-implant soft tissue sealing.

In this work, we investigate and compare the condensation behavior of hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and biphilic microgrooved silicon samples etched by reactive ion etching. The microgrooves were 25 mm long and 17-19 μm deep with different topologies depending on the etching process. Anisotropically etched samples had 30 μm wide rectangular microgrooves and silicon ridges between them.

The device undergoes femtosecond laser micromachining and chemical etching on a single-mode optical fiber initially, creating a microgroove that extends to half of the core's depth, into which a single ZnO microwire is transferred. The ZnO microwire and the remaining core are used as the sensing arm and the reference arm, respectively, forming a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

Tissue engineering scaffolds with specific surface topographical morphologies can regulate cellular behaviors and promote tissue repair. In this study, poly lactic(co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/wool keratin composite guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes with three types of microtopographies (three groups each of pits, grooves and columns, thus nine groups in total) were prepared. Then, the effects of the nine groups of membranes on cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were examined.

The 567-µm-deep grooves with aspect ratios of approximately 35 were obtained with no cracks or thermal affected zone. The morphologies and chemical compositions of grooves were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer.
