Antimicrobial activity and cytocompatibility of Ag plasma-modified hierarchical TiO2 film on titanium surface

- Ag-embedded TiO2 film with micropit/nanorod topography was prepared on titanium.
- The Ag-embedded TiO2 surface exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity.
- The Ag-embedded TiO2 surface showed nearly no toxic side effect on the cells.
