Modulation of osteoblast behavior on TiNxOy coatings by altering the N/O stoichiometry while maintaining a high thrombogenic potential

Conclusions The effect of TiNxOy coatings on osteoblast is dependent on their chemical composition; it increases with the amount of oxygen. TiNxOy coatings may act as a catalyst for cell-adhesion and proliferation early after seeding. In contrast, thrombogenicity of Ti-SLA surface is not affected by TiNxOy application.
