In vitro Comparison between Two Different Implant Titanium Surfaces in Osseointegration Process
ABSTRACT The osseointegration rate of titanium dental implants is related to their composition and surface roughness. Rough-surfaced implants favor both bone anchoring and biomechanical stability. The future of dental implantology should aim to develop surfaces with controlled and standardized topography or chemistry. This approach will be the only way to understand the interactions between proteins, cells and tissues and implant surfaces. The local release of bone stimulating or resorptive drugs in the peri-implant region may also respond to difficult clinical situations with poor bone quality and quantity, such as implant design and surface. These therapeutic strategies should ultimately enhance the osseointegration process of dental implants for their immediate loading and long-term success. Aim of this work was to compare implant titanium surfaces prepared with two different topographies for evaluating osteoblasts adhesion and growth.
