Abstract :
Controlled modification of implant surfaces using femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond pulses from home-built all-fiber-integrated lasers is demonstrated. Picosecond and femtosecond pulses offer superior control over the surface texture. Increasing cell attachment to surface is discussed.
