In recent years, studies on the surface of titanium implants have shown that hydrophilic properties have a positive effect on bone binding, warranting further investigation into the maintenance and restoration of hydrophilic properties. In this work, a hydrophilic surface was obtained by plasma oxidation on the surface of sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) titanium discs. We aimed to determine the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment on the maintenance and restoration of the surface hydrophilicity of titanium discs, as well as the relationship between the changes in hydrophilic properties on titanium surfaces and their biological properties. The results show that the treatment of hydrophilic surfaces with SLA, plasma oxidation, and NaOH treatments tend to enhance the early stages of cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Those results provide important guidance that SLA, plasma oxidation, and NaOH treatments can be used to restore the hydrophilic property of Ti that has been stored under room temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions.
