A schematic synthesis of results regarding the most important elements implicated in the mineralization process. Ca²⁺ deposition, collagen synthesis and ALP activity, in samples cultivated in serum-free medium (SF) and in differentiation medium (complex osteogenic medium OC and simple osteogenic medium OS) Legend: noninfiltrated, control Ti (Ti control), titanium infiltrated with hydroxyapatite (Ti HA), Ti infiltrated with silicatitanate (Ti SiO₂).
