Surface Aspects of Titanium Dental Implants
نویسنده
چکیده
This book chapter presents a brief description of a new emerging field of science, the biological surface science and stresses its importance in the field of alloplastic materials and dental implants. It is not intended to present a comprehensive review of the field, but rather to indentify some important trends and directions in the surface modifications of titanium (Ti) dental implants targeting the improvement of their bio/osseointegration (second subchapter). The third subchapter outlines the impact of fluoride on surfaces of titanium implants or other dental devices. The fourth one will give an overview of the effects of some chemical cleaning agents on titanium implant surfaces. The interaction between Ti and fluoride containing prophylactic agents or chemical cleaning agents can result in a beneficial or/and destructive alteration of the surface of Ti dental appliances. The objective of our studies was to characterize these specific modifications and alterations of Ti surfaces. The fifth subchapter focuses on the relation between biological surface science and dental implants related research.

CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF BIOACTIVATED TITANIUM DENTAL IMPLANT USING DIFFERENT CHEMICAL METHODS
At the past, damaged tissue was removed from the body of patients. But now tissue regeneration using scaffolds and implants are used to repair the damaged tissue and organs. Besides of the mechanical properties of metallic biomaterials, they suffer from bioinertness. Using some surface treatment techniques, the bioactivity and also corrosion resistance of titanium implants could be improved. In...
متن کاملBone cell attachment to dental implants of different surface characteristics.
Previous studies to compare the influence of surface characteristics of dental implants on cell behavior have used model systems to simulate the implant surface. In this study, bone cell interactions with smooth titanium, titanium dioxide-blasted, titanium plasma-sprayed, and hydroxyapatite plasma-sprayed implants, as manufactured for clinical use, were compared. Implants were exposed to neonat...
متن کاملEarly tissue reaction at the interface of immediately loaded dental implants.
PURPOSE The treatment of patients with early or immediately loaded dental implants has renewed interest in the behavior of osteoblasts at the implant surface under load. A newly designed dental implant indicated for immediate loading was tested in vivo for early stages of osteoblast behavior at the implant surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two implants were placed in the mandibles of 8 mi...
متن کاملAdult Stem Cells Properties in Terms of Commitment, Aging and Biological Safety of Grit-Blasted and Acid-Etched Ti Dental Implants Surfaces
Titanium (Ti) is one of the most widely used biomaterials for manufacturing dental implants. The implant surface properties strongly influence osseointegration. The aim of the present study was to in vitro investigate the characteristics of Ti dental implants in terms of mutagenicity, hemocompatibility, biocompatibility, osteoinductivity and biological safety. The Ames test was used to test the...
متن کاملImplant Surface Micro-Design
The application of implants for dental and orthopedic surgery has increased rapidly within the past few decades. In craniomaxillofacial surgery, different implant systems have been applied, for example, for dental and bone replacement or osteosynthesis plates and screws. These implants may be made of pure titanium or a titanium alloy, usually titanium-aluminumvanadium (Ti-6Al-4V). The surface c...
