Different treatment methods can be used to modify the topographic and chemical properties of titanium surface in order to optimize the tissue-implant reactions by a positive tissue response. This study aimed to evaluate the adhesion and proliferation of mesenchymal cells from human periodontal ligament on two different titanium surfaces, using cell culture techniques. Grade II titanium discs received different surface treatments, forming two distinct groups: polished and cathodic cage plasma nitriding. Human periodontal ligament mesenchymal cells were cultured on titanium discs in 24-well cell culture plates, at a density of 2 x 104 cells per well, including wells with no discs as positive control. Data obtained by counting the cells that adhered to the titanium surfaces (polished group and cathodic cage group) and to the plastic surface (control group), in the 24, 48 and 72-hour periods after plating, were used to analyze cell adhesion and proliferation and to obtain the cell growing curve in the different groups. The data were submitted to nonparametric analysis and the differences between groups were compared by Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman statistical tests. No statistically significant differences were found in the cells counts between the groups (p>0.05). It was concluded that both treatments produced surfaces compatible with the adhesion and proliferation of human periodontal ligament mesenchymal cells / Nos ?ltimos anos, v?rias pesquisas cient?ficas em Implantodontia t?m buscado alternativas que proporcionem maior rapidez e qualidade no processo de osseointegra??o. Diferentes m?todos de tratamento podem ser utilizados para modificar as propriedades topogr?ficas e qu?micas da sua superf?cie do tit?nio, a fim de otimizar as rea??es tecido-implante atrav?s de uma resposta tecidual favor?vel. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a ades?o e prolifera??o de c?lulas mesenquimais de ligamento periodontal humano a diferentes superf?cies de tit?nio, atrav?s de t?cnicas de cultivo celular. Discos de tit?nio grau II receberam diferentes tratamentos de superf?cie, constituindo dois grupos distintos: polido e nitretado a plasma na configura??o de gaiola cat?dica. C?lulas mesenquimais obtidas do ligamento periodontal de dentes humanos h?gidos foram cultivadas sobre os discos de tit?nio em placas de cultivo de 24 po?os, na densidade de 2 x 104 c?lulas/po?o, incluindo po?os sem discos como controle positivo. Os dados obtidos das contagens das c?lulas aderidas ?s superf?cies de tit?nio (grupo polido e grupo gaiola cat?dica) e ? superf?cie pl?stica (grupo controle), nos intervalos de 24, 48 e 72 horas ap?s o plaqueamento, foram utilizados para analisar a ades?o e prolifera??o celular e obter a curva de crescimento celular nos diferentes grupos. Os dados foram submetidos a an?lises n?o param?tricas e as diferen?as entre os grupos foram comparadas pelos testes estat?sticos Kruskal-Wallis e Friedman. N?o foram encontradas diferen?as estat?sticas significativas nas contagens celulares entre os grupos estudados (p>0,05). Conclui-se que ambos os tratamentos produziram superf?cies compat?veis com ades?o e prolifera??o de c?lulas mesenquimais do ligamento periodontal humano
