Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effect of titanium surface modification on macrophage phenotype polarization and osseous healing under diabetic conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Critical-sized calvarial defects were created in healthy and streptozotocin-induced type I diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats. Titanium (Ti) discs with either large-grit sandblasted and acid-etched micro-rough (SLA) or hydrophilic-modified...
