Abstract The adsorption of plasma proteins like albumin on dental implant surfaces is crucial for effective osseointegration and is strongly influenced by the surface texture. Most of the studies in the literature focused on albumin concentrations well below the physiological values in plasma, thus limiting their biomedical relevance. Here, we study the adsorption of albumin from phosphate-buffered saline at physiologically relevant concentrations on Ti alloy surfaces of different textures by co
