osseointegration Flashcards
6 Key Factors For Successful Implantn Osseointegration
1. Biocompatibility?
2. implant surface?
3. The status of the implant bed?
4. technique?
5. healing?
6. design/loading?
- 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
properties of Ti making it good for implants
- Low weight high strength/weight ratio
- Low modulus of elasticity,
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Excellent biocompatibility
- Easy shaping and finishing.
Most frequent Ti alloy
properties of parts
The most frequently used alloy (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).
Ti oxide layer
made with tenacious oxides in air or oxygenated solutions: this will promote adhesion of osteogenic cells
what other material may be used for implants
zirconia, similar to Ti but not a substitute
surface topography of implants can influence what?
osteoblast morphology and bone response at the micrometre level.
what type of surface has the best incorporation of osteoblasts
moderately rough (Sa-1 to 2 micrometers)
moderately rough surfaces have highest values for?
Histomorphometry: bone-to-implant contact
* Removal torque analyses
* pushout/pullout tests
surface modifications
- 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
Potential Surface Modifications
- Machined- smoothed
- Plasma-spray or Titanium spray- increase irregularities (SA)
- Sandblasted- SA
- Sandblasted and acid-etched-SA
- RBM (Resorbable Blast Media, with Calcium Phosphate)
- Zirconia ceramic
- Hydroxyapatite Coatings
- Lasers
- Nano-structured surfaces
Mechanical Considerations
A greater surface roughness increases the potential for biomechanical interlocking
Rougher implants surfaces have an higher percentage of bone implant contact and also a higher torque removal than machined surfaces.
Bone Biology- Chemical Composition
Inorganic (65-70%)
-Crystalline salts (primarily, hydroxyapatite)
Organic (30-35%)
- Type I collagen (90-95%)
- Non-collagenous proteins
- Proteoglycans
- Growth factors
cells of bone/ lineages
preosteoblasts>osteoblasts>osteocytes
monocytes> macro> osteoclasts
where are osteocytes? can they comm?
lacunae, possess dendrites for communication
osteoblast bone deposition
produce non mineralized osteoid that then mineralizes to newly formed bone and will then form mature bone
3 Davis’ basic concepts of bone
First, bone matrix is synthesized by only one cell: the osteoblast.
Second, as a result of the polarized synthetic (meaning the synthesis of bone matrix) activity of osteoblasts, bone grows only by apposition.
Third, bone matrix mineralizes and has no inherent capacity to “grow.”
