Titanium implant surface modification by cathodic reduction in hydrofluoric acid: Surface characterization and in vivo performance

Abstract: Etching is used for the surface modification of titanium to improve the implant performance in bone. In this study, pure titanium implants were surface modified by a cathodic reduction process by using hydrofluoric acid (HF) at various concentrations (0.001, 0.01, and 0.1 vol %) and a constant current of 1 mA/cm(2). The resulting surface microtopographies were analyzed by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and profilometry, while the surface chemical contents were evaluated by time of fligh… Show more

“…The higher the ability of the interface to withstand these three types of forces the bigger the loads the implant can support. The ability of the interface to resist compressive forces is substantial [2] in comparison to the capacity to stand tensile forces even though some attempts have been made to enhance the latter [3][4][5]. Much research has been spent on trying to enhance the bone implant interfacial shear strength through modification of the roughness of the implant surface.…”

“…Although fast bone response to the calcium phosphate-coated surface and its similarity to bone mineral lead to the possibility of its application to some extreme cases like osteoporotic patients, such an application needs more studies including clinical trials [31]. Another example of chemical modifications is a fluoride-modified surface, which is made by reducing the Ti surface on a cathode to attract the cation, fluoride ion, in a hydrofluoric acid solution [38]. Adding fluoride treatment to titanium Fig.…”

“…Note that the SLA surface mainly displays a honeycomb-like structure while the anodized surface shows a craterlike structure. dioxide (TiO 2 ) grit-blasted cp Ti surface results in a superior bone response to that of TiO 2 grit-blasted cp Ti surface [38][39][40][41]. Low concentration of hydrogen fluoride etching on Ti surface was reported to enhance the binding between the bone and the surface considerably [38].…”
