Osseointegration Flashcards
6 Key Factors For Successful Implant Osseointegration
- Biocompatibility of the Implant material
- Macroscopic and microscopic nature of the implant surface
- The status of the implant bed in both a health (non-infected)
and a morphologic (bone quality) context - The surgical technique
- The undisturbed healing phase
- The subsequent prosthetic design and long term loading phase
CP (Commercially Pure) Titanium and Titanium Alloys
(5)
- Low weight high strength/weight ratio
- Low modulus of elasticity,
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Excellent biocompatibility
- Easy shaping and finishing.
The most frequently used alloy and composition
(titanium.6 aluminum-4 vanadium) :
- 90% titanium,
- 6% aluminum (decreases the specific weight and improves the elastic
modulus)
- 4% vanadium (decreases thermal conductivity and increases the
hardness).
TITANIUM OXYDE LAYER:
tenacious oxides in air or oxygenated
solutions - Promotes adhesion of osteogenic cells

How about Zirconia?
In vivo, Prospective, RCT
- Early colonization on zirconium oxide VS titanium alloy
abutments - 22 Pts , 2 implants per Pt
- Bacteria Sampling, PD, BOP
- Bacterial counts of 7 bacterial species 2 weeks and 3 months
following abutment connection. - No differences in any parameter

Smooth and minimally rough surfaces showed
Moderately rough surfaces showed
less strong bone responses than rougher surfaces.
stronger bone responses than rough in some studies.
Surface topography influences
bone response at the micrometre level.

LIMITATIONS
varying quality of surface evaluations : a surface termed ‘rough’ in one study was not uncommonly referred to as ‘smooth’ in another; many
investigators falsely assumed that surface preparation per se identified the roughness of the implant; and many other studies used only
qualitative techniques such as SEM.
Furthermore, filtering techniques differed or only height parameters (Sa, Ra) were reported.
Surface Modifications
(3)
- Changing the surface topography using
PHYSICAL AND/OR CHEMICAL methods; - Transforming surface properties by COATING
with a highly biocompatible material (e.g.
calcium phosphate and functional peptide) - COMBINATION
Surface Modifications
Which 2 do we use at UMKC most often?
- Machined
- Plasma-spray or Titanium spray
- Sandblasted
- Sandblasted and acid-etched
- RBM (Resorbable Blast Media, with Calcium Phosphate)
- Zirconia ceramic
- Hydroxyapatite Coatings
- Lasers
- Nano-structured surfaces
ACID ETCH
PLASMA SPRAY
A greater surface roughness
increases the potential for
biomechanical interlocking
Rougher implants surfaces have an higher percentage
of
bone implant contact and also an higher torque
removal than machined surfaces.
