Green Tea Polyphenols Coupled with a Bioactive Titanium Alloy Surface: In Vitro Characterization of Osteoinductive Behavior through a KUSA A1 Cell Study

Green Tea Polyphenols Coupled with a Bioactive Titanium Alloy Surface: In Vitro Characterization of Osteoinductive Behavior through a KUSA A1 Cell Study

A chemically-treated titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) surface, able to induce hydroxyapatite precipitation from body fluids (inorganic mineralization activity), was functionalized with a polyphenolic extract from green tea (tea polyphenols, TPH). Considering that green tea polyphenols have stimulating effec...
