In this study, using electrolytic reducing ionic water (S-100®), a novel surface treatment method safely and easily modifying the surface properties was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Ti-6Al-4V disks were washed and the disks were kept standing on a clean bench for one and four weeks for aging. These disks were immersed in S-100® (S-100 group), immersed in ultra-pure water (Control group), or irradiated with ultraviolet light (UV group), and surface analysis, cell experiment, and animal experiment were performed using these disks. The titanium surface became hydrophilic in the S-100 group and the amount of protein adsorption and cell adhesion rate were improved in vitro. In vivo, new bone formation was noted around the disk. These findings suggested that surface treatment with S-100® adds bioactivity to the biologically aged titanium surface. We are planning to further investigate it and accumulate evidence for clinical application.
