Dental Implant Surfaces: A Review

  1. In "surgical process" which implant condition is more important, design or surface?
    design > surface
  2. In "initial healing period or osteointegration process" which implant condition is more important, design or surface?
    suface > design
  3. In "early loading period" which implant condition is more important, design or surface?
    both are similar in important
  4. In "mature loading period which implant condition is more important, design or surface?
    design > surface
  5. "Osseointegration" was firstly described by?
    Branemark
  6. Osteointegration is the direct contact between (1) and (2) without (3)
    • (1) living bone
    • (2) functionally loaded implant surface
    • (3) interposed soft tissue
  7. Two material that are most widely used in dental implant manufacture?
    • cpTi (commercially pure titanium)
    • Ti6 Al4 V (titaanuim-6 aluminium-4 vanadium)
  8. What are two advantages of Aluminum in Ti6Al4V?
    • decrease weight
    • improve elastic modulus
  9. What are two advantages of Vanadium in Ti6Al4V?
    • decrease thermal conductivity
    • increase hardness
  10. What is the primary advantage of Ti6Al4V over cpTi?
    mechanical properties (↓fracture, ↓wearing)
  11. What happens when titanium implant exposes to the air?
    the 2-5 nm thick titanium oxide layer is formed over the surface.
  12. What are three important roles of titanium oxide layer?
    • corrosion resistance
    • biocompatibility
    • osseointegration
  13. The turned or machined or smooth surface implant can be modified with two methods:
    • additive (plasma spray, HA coating)
    • subtractive (sand blasting, acid etching)
  14. There are two agents being used for sandblasting:
    • Al2O3 (Aluminium oxide/ alumina)
    • TiO2
  15. Acid etching is performed using baths of:
    • HCl - Hydrochloric acid
    • H2SO4 - Sulfuric acid
    • HNO3 - Nitric acid
  16. Advantages of acid etching over sandblasting:
    • doesn't leave the residues of sandblasting particles
    • uniform (even distribution)
    • can control loss of metal from implant body
  17. sandblasting and acid-etcheing modify ... texture and ...texture respectively
    • sandblasting - macrotexture
    • acid etching - micortexture
  18. Three clinical advantages of titanium plasma spray and hydroxyapatite coating are:
    • increase surface area (greater than any subtractive methods)
    • increase roughness for initial stability
    • strong bone-impnat interface (HA > TPS)
  19. Five disadvantages of coating:
    • flashing, cracking, scaling on inserting
    • increase plaque retention (above bone)
    • increase bacteria  and nidus
    • complication of treatment of failing implant
    • increase cost
  20. Which type of bone will most benefit from TPS?
    Type 3 (D3)
  21. Which type of bone will most benefit from HA?
    Type 4 (D4)
  22. What is an alternative of titanium (cpTi and Ti6Al4V) ?
    Zirconia (ZrO2)
