The paper's aim is to evaluate the corrosion behaviour for the TiO2 oxide film native and obtained using laser texturing procedure. The chosen working conditions lead to grooves on treated sample which can be used to increase the bone implants strength. A better cell viability was observed after 24 h, but for longer period of time (48 h) was decreased.
