Direct cueing by pulsed-waterjet treated titanium on fibroblast, osteoblastic and human stem cells for prospective use in dental implants

•Pulsed-water jet (PWJ) allows for multivariate control over surface preparation.•Nozzle velocity presents with a biphasic relationship with nanoscale roughness.•Saos-2 exhibit greatest proliferation on T4.83, with greatest microscale roughness.•Osteogenic differentiation is superior on T2.43, with greatest nanoscale roughness.
