An in vitro concept for the examination of surface-modified implants from TiAl6V4 titanium alloy was introduced within the scope of this dissertation. In this connection, various human cell culture models were developed and examined with regard to their significance for inflammation initialisation. Finding of the inflammation response requires the examination of an extensive repertoire of biological parameters. In addition, a new attempt for determination of the surface compatibility is presented, which is based on the assumption that certain roughness dimensions of the implant surfaces affect the cell reaction. These surface-analytical results are compared in advance and in vitro examinations. The test model is successfully used both on uncoated and protein and hydroxylapatite-coated samples and, therefore, extends established in vitro biocompatibility investigations.
