Assessment of Surface Area Characteristics of Dental Implants with Gradual Bioactive Surface Treatment

Abstract

Since most of the implant surface is in direct contact with bone tissue, shape and integrity of said surface has great influence on successful osseointegration. Among other characteristics that predetermine titanium of different grades of pureness as ideal biomaterial, titanium shows high mechanical strength making precise miniature machining increasingly difficult. Current titanium-based implants are often anodized due to colour coding. This anodized layer has important functional properties for right usage and also bio-compatibility of dental implants. Physical method of anodizing and usage of anodizing mediums has a significant influence on the surface quality and itself functionality. However, basic requirement of the dental implant with satisfactory properties is quality of machined surface before anodizing. Roughness, for example, is factor affecting of time length of anodizing operation and so whole productivity. The paper is focused on monitoring of surface and area characteristics, such as roughness or surface integrity after different cutting conditions of miniature machining of dental implants and their impact on suitability for creation of satisfactory anodized layer with the correct biocompatible functional properties.

“…In more than 80% of treated patients there was a significant clinical improvement in skin quality (tonus, turgor, edema and fat elimination) and structural changes in the papillary dermis (increased production of pro-collagen and proelastin fibers, compaction of collagen and elastin) increased elasticity, skin compactness, elimination of fibrotic changes, locally stored fat, wrinkle elimination [13, 25,26,27].…”
