Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does nitric acid passivation affect in vitro biocompatibility of titanium?
Answer: Although the protocol for passivation used here could interfere with the pattern of ions released from Ti-6Al-4V and cpTi surfaces, the present study did not show any effect of this surface treatment on in vitro biocompatibility of Ti as evaluated by osteoblast attachment, proliferation, and differentiation.
Output (English): no
