Although FGN is rapidly and abundantly adsorbed on cp-Ti plate surface, vWF and FN function as major platelet adhesion molecules in citrated blood samples. After pretreatment with P-PRP, however, platelets adhered to cp-Ti much less efficiently. Therefore, P-PRP pretreatment might not directly contribute to surface functionalization, initial stabilization, and osseointegration of machined or similar types of implants.
