Surface treatments of titanium dental implants for rapid osseointegration

Le Guéhennec, L., Soueidan, A., Layrolle, P., Amouriq, Y.·2007·Dental Materials

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. Osteoconductive calcium phosphate coatings promote bone healing and apposition, leading to the rapid biological fixation of implants. The different methods used for increasing surface roughness or applying osteoconductive coatings to titanium dental implants are reviewed. Surface treatments, such as titanium plasma-spraying, grit-blasting, acid-etching, anodization or calcium phosphate coatings, and their corresponding surface morphologies and properties are described. Most of these surfaces are commercially available and have proven clinical efficacy (>95% over 5 years). The precise role of surface chemistry and topography on the early events in dental implant osseointegration remain poorly understood. In addition, comparative clinical studies with different implant surfaces are rarely performed. 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. These therapeutic strategies should ultimately enhance the osseointegration process of dental implants for their immediate loading and long-term success.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Titanium implants used for bone tissue replacement show higher osseointegration when the surface is modified to permit attachment and migration of bone-forming cells.

    “For example, titanium implants used for bone tissue replacement (e.g., hip/knee replacements, dental implants) show higher osseointegration when the surface is modified to permit attachment and migration of bone forming cells [87,88].”
  • Varying surface chemistries and roughness can modulate the macrophage response toward an M2 phenotype, which secretes prohealing and anti-inflammatory factors to mitigate fibrous tissue formation.

    “Current research in this area focuses on varying surface chemistries and roughness to modulate the macrophage response toward an M2 phenotype, which will in turn secrete prohealing and anti-inflammatory factors to mitigate the formation of fibrous tissue [5,87,89].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
