Surface properties of a material play a significant role in manipulating biological response of living body to artificial materials. The aim of this work was put on bioactivity assessment of TiO2 ceramic after thermal treatment and subsequent surface activation with UVlight. The in vitro apatite-forming ability was examined by soaking the samples into the simulated body fluid for several days. The research shows that nanostructural surface and UV irradiation accelerates formation of apatite on TiO2 pellets.
