چکیده

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the biocompatibility and rigid osseointegration of a zirconia (Y-TZP) dental implant with acid-etched surface. Materials and methods: Eight zirconia (Y-TZP) implants (CeraRoot, Barcelona) were inserted in the hip of an adult sheep. The animal was sacrificed after 2 months. Four implants were used for histology and histomorphometric analysis, and the other four implants were used for removal torque test (RTQ). Results: The histological evaluation showed a direct bone to implant contact (BIC) with no signs of inflammatory or foreign body reaction. The histomorphometric analysis values ranged from 79.5 to 79.9% of BIC. The RTQ showed values ranging from 75 to 83 Ncm. Discussion: In this animal study, the biocompatibility of CeraRoot zirconia (Y-TZP) implants was demonstrated with the histologic observations of healthy bone tissue in direct contact with the zirconia (Y-TZP) implant surface. Moreover, the histomorphometric analysis and the RTQ confirmed a rigid fixation of the implant within the bone. Comparative studies with acid-etched titanium implants are needed to further evaluate the characteristics of CeraRoot zirconia dental implants.

Osseointegration of zirconia implants with different surface characteristics: an evaluation in rabbits.

PURPOSE Zirconia ceramics are a viable alternative to titanium for use as dental implants. However, the smooth surface of zirconia means that longer healing periods are needed to accomplish osseointegration compared to roughened titanium surfaces. Surface modifications can be used to increase the roughness of zirconia. The aim of this study was to assess histologically and compare the degree of...

Gelcasting as a Novel Processing Route to Fabricate Partially Stabilized Zirconia Ceramic Bodies

     Bioinert ceramics, like alumina and zirconia are used mainly for replacements of bones, hip joints and for dental implants. Partially stabilized zirconia ceramics (PSZ or TZP with 3 mol.% or 5 wt.% Y2O3), appear as perspective bioinert ceramics because of their high strength and corrosion resistance. In order to fabricate complex shapes, it is essential to use a near ...

Evaluation of the effects of different sand particles that used in dental implant roughened for osseointegration

BACKGROUND Successful dental implant treatment is directly related to osseointegration. In achieving osseointegration, the surface property of the implant is of great importance. Sandblasting is the most commonly used basic method for modifying the surface. Many companies use different sand particles for surface roughening and claim their sand is the best. This leads clinicians to mix their min...
