Additional information
This paper presented the first in depth study of the effect of electropolishing on the bioactivity of medical grade titanium alloy surfaces, and also allowed, for the first time, the relative importance of surface chemistry and surface roughness on the bioactivity of these alloys to be assessed, addressing an ongoing debate in the academic community at the time. The results showed in vitro that bone formation was more significantly influenced by surface chemistry than surface roughness, over the range of values studied, and that electropolishing could potentially be used to optimise surface properties for bone ongrowth.
