Previous issue date: 2013-10-08 / Recent years have seen a significant growth in surface modifications in titanium implants, resulting in shorter healing times in regions with low bone density. Among the different techniques, subtraction by chemical agents to increase oxidation has been applied for surface treatment of dental implants. However, this technique is generally unable to remove undesirable oxides, formed spontaneously during machining of titanium parts, raising costs due to additional decontamination stages. In order to solve this problem, the present study used plasma as an energy source to both remove these oxides and oxidize the titanium surface. In this respect, Ti disks were treated by hollow cathode discharge, using a variable DC power supply and vacuum system. Samples were previously submitted to a cleaning process using an atmosphere of Ar, H2 and a mixture of both, for 20 and 60 min. The most efficient cleaning condition was used for oxidation in a mixture of argon (60%) and oxygen (40%) until reaching a pressure of 2.2 mbar for 60 min at 500?C. Surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), adhesion and cell proliferation. SEM showed less cell spreading and a larger number of projections orfilopodia in the treated samples compared to the control sample. AFM revealed surface defects in the treated samples, with varied geometry between peaks and valleys. Biological assays showed no significant difference in cell adhesion between treated surfaces and the control. With respect to cell proliferation, the treated surface exhibited improved performance when compared to the control sample. We concluded that the process was efficient in removing primary oxides as well as in oxidizing titanium surfaces / Nos ?ltimos anos, tem-se observado um crescimento nas modifica??es superficiais em implantes de tit?nio, que abrevia o tempo de cicatriza??o em regi?es com baixa densidade ?ssea. Dentre as diferentes t?cnicas, a de subtra??o por agentes qu?micos para aumentar a oxida??o vem sendo aplicada para tratamentos superficiais de implantes dentais. Por?m esta t?cnica geralmente n?o propicia a remo??o dos ?xidos indesej?veis formados espontaneamente durante a usinagem de pe?as de tit?nio, aumentando assim o custo, por exigir etapas adicionais para a descontamina??o. Com o objetivo de solucionar esse problema, utilizou-se neste trabalho o plasma como fonte energ?tica, tanto na remo??o desses ?xidos quanto como na oxida??o de superf?cie de tit?nio. Neste sentido, discos de Ti foram tratados em descarga por c?todo oco, usando-se uma fonte de tens?o DC vari?vel e sistema de v?cuo. Previamente, as amostras foram submetidas a processo de limpeza, utilizando-se atmosfera de Ar, H2 e mistura, em tempos de 20 e 60 min. A condi??o de limpeza mais eficaz foi utilizada para a oxida??o, numa mistura de arg?nio (60%) e oxig?nio (40%), at? atingir a press?o de 2,2 mbar durante 60 min, a 500?C. As superf?cies foram caracterizadas por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV), difra??o de raios X (DRX), microscopia por for?a at?mica (AFM), ades?o e prolifera??o celular. Na microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV), observou-se um menor espraiamento celular e uma maior quantidade de proje??es ou filop?dios nas amostras tratadas, em compara??o ? amostra-controle. A microscopia de for?a at?mica (AFM) mostrou, nas amostras tratadas, defeitos nas superf?cies com geometria variada para picos e vales. Nos ensaios biol?gicos, houve diferen?as significativas na ades?o e prolifera??o celular, em que a superf?cie tratada apresentou um maior desempenho quando comparada com a amostra-controle.Concluiu-se que o processo foi eficiente tanto na remo??o dos ?xidos prim?rios quanto na oxida??o da superf?cie do tit?nio
