Surface modification for titanium implants by hydroxyapatite nanocomposite
Background: Titanium (Ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). However, HA has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. It is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of ZrO2 and the chemical inertness of Al2O3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating Ti implants with HA-ZrO2-Al2O3 to modify the s...
متن کاملHistomorphometric Analysis of Pure Titanium Implants with Porous Surface versus Rough Surface
The purpose of this study was to analyze the bone repair around commercially pure titanium implants with rough and porous surface, fabricated using powder metallurgy technique, after their insertion in tibiae of rabbits. Seven male rabbits were used. Each animal received 3 porous-surface implants in the left tibia and 3 rough-surface implants in the right tibia. The rabbits were sacrificed 4 we...
متن کاملLong-term observation of porous sapphire dental implants.
We used porous sapphire dental implants made of alumina clinically for 4 years 1 month, commencing September, 1984 until September, 1988. Subjects consisted of 18 men and 42 women 20-71 years old (mean age: 35 years). Sixty-five implants were inserted in 60 patients. Of these, 20 were clinical cases of an implant connected with natural teeth and 45 were free-standing cases. We conducted a follo...
متن کاملCell-mediated protein release from calcium-phosphate-coated titanium implants.
Implants used in dental and orthopaedic surgery should become osseointegrated into native bone. In an endeavour to potentiate bone formation, prostheses, coated with a coprecipitated layer of calcium phosphate and the osteogenic agent BMP-2, were implanted at an ectopic site in rats. Five weeks later, the implants were surrounded by a substantial mass of bone. Our findings indicate that the dru...
متن کاملMacromolecular Drug Release from Porous Implants: Sources of Matrix Tortuosity
Release of the highly water-soluble proteins Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), -lactoglobulin and lysozyme chloride from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVAc) matrices was studied at three drug powder particle sizes and ten drug loadings. It was found that at small particles and low loadings, much of the BSA is virtually trapped inside the matrix. Even at higher loadings and particle sizes, where a...
