The surface modification of dental implants with nanostructured films enables the development of the next generation of biomaterials that promote osseointegration. In this study, a uniform layer of titanium oxide nanotubes (TNTs) was successfully formed on a Ti-6Al-4V dental implant screw through anodic oxidation. TNTs were morphologically characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), obtaining dimensions of 64.88 ± 10 nm in diameter and 5.34 ± 5 µm in length. Additionally, a crystal size of 23.45 nm was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The TNT layer on the dental implant screw was evaluated in an in vitro system in direct contact with human osteoblast cells (hFOB) for 24 h and 48 h, finding cell growth near to the screw threads. Further, the biocompatibility of the dental screw coated with TNTs was evaluated using a flow cytometric assay with 7-AAD, demonstrating that cell viability was not affected at 24 h and 48 h. This study opens the perspective of the study of inflammation and osseointegration induced by implants coated with TNTs.
