To find out the optimal porosity and pore size of porous titanium (Ti) regarding the cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation. Six groups of porous Ti samples with different porosities and pore sizes were fabricated by the powder metallurgy process. The microstructure and compressive mechanical properties were characterized. The cytocompatibility was examined by a series of biological tests as protein absorption with BCA assay kit, cell attachment with laser scanning confocal microscopy and vinculin expression, cell proliferation with CCK-8 assay. Cell differentiation and calcification were detected by qPCR and Alizarin Red S dying respectively. Pores distributed homogeneously throughout the porous Ti samples. The compressive test results showed that Young's modulus ranged from 2.80 ± 0.03 GPa to 5.43 ± 0.34 GPa and the compressive strength increased from 112.4 ± 3.6 MPa to 231.1 ± 9.4 MPa. Porous Ti with high porosity (53.3 ± 1.2%) and small pore size (191.6 ± 3.7 µm) adsorbed more proteins. More MC3T3-E1 cells adhered onto dense Ti samples than onto any other porous ones already after culture and no difference was identified within the porous groups. The porous structure of porous Ti with a porosity of 53.3 ± 1.2% and an average pore size of 191.6 ± 3.7 µm facilitated cell differentiation and calcification. Small pores were not beneficial to the osteo-initiation at the very beginning. Porous Ti with a porosity of 53.3 ± 1.2% and an average pore size of 191.6 ± 3.7 µm fabricated by powder metallurgy process showed the expected mechanical property and improved osseointegration as implants in dental treatment.
