The chemical composition and surface topography of titanium implants are essential to improve implant osseointegration. The present work studies a non-invasive alternative of electrical impedance spectroscopy for the characterization of the macroporosity inherent to the manufacturing process and the effect of the surface treatment with femtosecond laser of titanium discs. Osteoblasts cell culture growths on the titanium surfaces of the laser-treated discs were also studied with this method. The measurements obtained showed that the femtosecond laser treatment of the samples and cell culture produced a significant increase (around 50%) in the absolute value of the electrical impedance module, which could be characterized in a wide range of frequencies (being more relevant at 500 MHz). Results have revealed the potential of this measurement technique, in terms of advantages, in comparison to tiresome and expensive techniques, allowing semi-quantitatively relating impedance measurements to porosity content, as well as detecting the effect of surface modification, generated by laser treatment and cell culture.

Modification Of Titanium

Despite high interest in the issues of hemocompatibility of titanium implants, particularly those made of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy, the applied methods of surface modification still do not always guarantee the physicochemical properties required for their safe operation. The factors that reduce the efficiency of the application of titanium alloys in the treatment of conditions of the cardiovascular system include blood coagulation and fibrous proliferation within the vessel’s internal walls. They result from their surfaces’ physicochemical properties not being fully adapted to the specifics of the circulatory system. Until now, the generation and development mechanics of these adverse processes are not fully known. Thus, the fundamental problem in this work is to determine the correlation between the physicochemical properties of the diamond like carbon (DLC) coating (shaped by the technological conditions of the process) applied onto the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy designed for contact with blood and its hemocompatibility. In the paper, microscopic metallographic, surface roughness, wettability, free surface energy, hardness, coating adhesion to the substrate, impendence, and potentiodynamic studies in artificial plasma were carried out. The surface layer with the DLC coating ensures the required surface roughness and hydrophobic character and sufficient pitting corrosion resistance in artificial plasma. On the other hand, the proposed CrN interlayer results in better adhesion of the coating to the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. This type of coating is an alternative to the modification of titanium alloy surfaces using various elements to improve the blood environment’s hemocompatibility.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the macro- and micro-structure and the chemical composition of the surface of 5 different commercially available dental implants. Roughness values were also calculated. Materials and Methods: 1 zirconia implant (NobelPearl of Nobel Biocare) and 4 titanium implants, Syra (Sweden&Martina), Prama (Sweden&Martina), T3 (Biomet 3i), and Shard (Mech&Human), were analyzed through SEM-EDX analysis and quantitative evaluation of surface roughness (1 sample), and XPS chemical analysis (1 sample). Surface roughness was quantitatively assessed using the stereo-SEM method (SSEM). The following area roughness parameters were calculated, according to ISO25178: Sa, Sz, and Sdr. Results: From the SEM observations, all the implants analyzed presented modern well-developed micro-structures as the result of the specific process of double acid etching alone or combined with other additional treatments. Roughness values were generally greater at the level of the implant body and lower at the collar. The chemical characterization of the implant surfaces exhibited excellent results for all of the implants and indicated good care in the production processes. Conclusions: All the samples were well-conceived in terms of topography and surface roughness, and clean in terms of chemical residues.

The main objective of the present work was to determine the influence of laser treatment on microstructure, microhardness, roughness, bonding strength, corrosion resistance and tribological properties of wear resistant coatings produced on C45 carbon steel by the electro-spark deposition (ESD) process. Consumable WC-Co-Al2O3 electrodes were prepared by the powder metallurgy route and transferred to the substrate surface using the EIL-8A apparatus. The cermet layers were subsequently melted by means of the BLS 720 Nd:YAG laser. The coating characterisation studies showed marked improvements in the bonding between the steel substrate and the cermet coating, and in corrosion resistance at the expense of higher surface roughness and minor drop in the Vickers microhardness.

Roughened Surface

Surface roughness modulates the osseointegration of orthopaedic and dental titanium implants. High surface roughness is currently obtained by blasting of titanium implants with silica or aluminium abrasive particles. This process includes into the surface abrasive particles and may cause the release of cytotoxic silica or aluminium ions in the peri implant tissue. To overcome this drawback, we currently develop an innovative gridblasting process using Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) particles (RBBM Resorbable and Biocompatible Blast Media) to generate biocompatible roughened titanium surface. This work present the technique of blasting using RBBM particles to provide a roughened surface which does not release cytotoxic elements and (ii) to assess the effects of such a roughened surface for bone osteointegration in critical size rabbit defect. Our results demonstrate that resorbable biphasic calcium phosphate abrasive particles can be used to create titanium surface roughness. This grid blasting process increases surface roughness of titanium implants and offers a non cytotoxic surface for rapid and efficient osteointegration.

Titanium Dental Implants

The osseointegration capability of titanium dental implants is related to their chemical composition and surface roughness. In this study, the combination of grit-blasting and micro-arc oxidation had been used for producing the improved implant surfaces. The ceramic particles were projected to titanium dental implants through a nozzle at high velocity by means of compressed air to get high surface roughness. Then the surface of titanium implants was modified by micro-arc oxidation treatment. The current density, frequency and duty were 50-300 mA/cm2, 100 Hz, and 50%, respectively. A porous TiO2 layer was formed on the surface after the oxidation treatment. The surface structure of oxidized implants exhibited nanometer-sized pores with an average diameter of 0.2 µm. The TiO2 passive layer of the implant surface can attribute to the excellent biocompatibility. The high roughness (Ra=0.182 µm) formed by grit-blasting maximizes the interlocking between mineralized bone and the surface of the implant. Surface roughness in the manometer range formed by micro-arc oxidation treatment would play an important role in the adsorption of proteins, adhesion of osteoblastic cell and thus the rate of osseointegration.

The laser beam marking process is considered to be a subject to important scientific research. In this area, there are insufficiently studied problems and concepts requiring their experimental validation and determining the solutions. Upon laser action, the effect of metal surface coloration can be caused by different processes. The most probable is formation of thin oxidic films, although formation of the other compounds is not unlikely as well [1–2]. Under actual values of luminous flux density, however, scanning with laser beam results in occurrence of regular surface roughness. Therefore, the analysis of diffraction effect impact on the image color is also necessary [3–4]. The color images on the metal surface were assessed based on range of colors RAL “Reich Ausschluß für Lieferbedingungen”. In this system, the color space is divided to ranges with identification of each color by its unique index number. When doing research of the metal surface composite regular relief [5] obtained using laser marker, the depth of microroughnesses in differently colored samples was determined. The was performed using non-contact VICWU profilometer. Due to the method of measurement technological specificity, this equipment does not have destructive effect on the object under study. The roughness values (Rz and Ra) of the surfaces under study were measured based on acceptably small areas, thereat the base lines were selected in such way that to consider the surface waviness effect on the roughness values Rz and Ra [6]. The research results demonstrated that change of surface roughness values Ra and Rz by 1.5 times (owing to change of the surface laser treatment mode), changes the specimen metal surface coloration drastically.
