Physical characterization of the different titanium surfaces. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 5). Ra = average roughness; Ssk = surface skewness; Sku = surface kurtosis. Results were statistically compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student’s t-test as post hoc: * p < 0.05 versus Ti; # p < 0.05 versus nanonet (NN) for Ra and Ssk and by Kruskall Wallis for Sku. NP, nanopore.
