ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS, Issue 6 2010
Hicham Benhayoune
Calcium phosphate coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates are elaborated by pulsed electrodeposition. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the coatings are characterized by SEM,EDS. The obtained results are systematically confirmed at the nanometre scale using TEM. Moreover, XRD is performed in order to identify the coatings phases. The results show that pulsed electrodeposition allows uniform coatings to be obtained without the holes and craters usually observed with classical electrodeposition. After appropriate heat treatment, these coatings have a biphasic composition of stoichiometric hydroxyapatite and , -tricalcium phosphate. Moreover, the addition of 9% H2O2 to the electrolyte leads to monophasic coatings made of stoichiometric hydroxyapatite. As an indication of the passive nature of the electrodeposited coating, electrochemical potentiodynamic tests are performed in physiological solution in order to determine the corrosion behaviour of these coatings.

Long-term effects of magnetron-sputtered calcium phosphate coating on osseointegration of dental implants in non-human primates

CLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 2 2009
Fügl Alexander
Abstract Objectives: To determine the effect of magnetron-sputtered calcium phosphate coating of implants on the later stages of osseointegration in a non-human primate model. Material and methods: Eighteen and 20 implants with a 0.1 ,m amorphous calcium phosphate coating and a turned surface, respectively, were inserted in the anterior upper and lower jaw of adult non-human primates. Following a 7.5 months healing period, one part of the implants remained in the submerged position. The other part of implants was connected to healing abutments to allow peri-implant inflammation to occur. After another 20 months, histologic and histomorphometric analysis of the peri-implant area was performed. Results: Submerged implants with a calcium phosphate coating and a turned surface showed no signs of an inflammatory reaction. The histomorphometric parameters ,bone volume per tissue volume' (BV/TV) and ,bone-to-implant contacts' (BIC) were not affected by calcium phosphate coating. Non-submerged implants of both groups showed occasionally signs of inflammation at the implant,abutment junction. Histomorphometric analysis revealed that the distance between the implant,abutment junction and the most coronal level (where bone was attached to the implant) as well as BV/TV and BIC were independent from the surface modification. Conclusion: Our results show that dental implants with calcium phosphate coating behave similar to turned implants independently whether they are connected to healing abutments or remain submerged. Ultra-thin calcium phosphate coating can combine the positive effects of calcium phosphate during the early stage of osseointegration without causing impairment of the later stages. [source]


Histomorphometric analysis of the osseointegration of four different implant surfaces in the femoral epiphyses of rabbits

Abstract Objectives: The surface properties of titanium dental implants are key parameters for rapid and intimate bone,implant contact. The osseointegration of four implant surfaces was studied in the femoral epiphyses of rabbits. Material and methods: Titanium implants were either grit-blasted with alumina or biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic particles, coated with a thin octacalcium phosphate (OCP) layer, or prepared by large-grit sand blasting and acid-etched (SLA). After 2 and 8 weeks of implantation, the bone-implant contact and bone growth inside the chambers were compared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and profilometry showed distinct microtopographies. Results: The alumina-Ti, BCP-Ti and OCP-Ti groups had similar average surface roughness in the 1,2 ,m range whereas the SLA surface was significantly higher with a roughness averaging 4.5 ,m. Concerning the osseointegration, the study demonstrated a significantly greater bone-to-implant contact for both the SLA and OCP-Ti surfaces as compared with the grit-blasted surfaces, alumina- and BCP-Ti at both 2 and 8 weeks of healing. Conclusion: In this animal model, a biomimetic calcium phosphate coating gave similar osseointegration to the SLA surface. This biomimetic coating method may enhance the apposition of bone onto titanium dental implants. [source]


Calcium phosphate-based coatings on titanium and its alloys

JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH, Issue 1 2008
R. Narayanan
Abstract Use of titanium as biomaterial is possible because of its very favorable biocompatibility with living tissue. Titanium implants having calcium phosphate coatings on their surface show good fixation to the bone. This review covers briefly the requirements of typical biomaterials and narrowly focuses on the works on titanium. Calcium phosphate ceramics for use in implants are introduced and various methods of producing calcium phosphate coating on titanium substrates are elaborated. Advantages and disadvantages of each type of coating from the view point of process simplicity, cost-effectiveness, stability of the coatings, coating integration with the bone, cell behavior, and so forth are highlighted. Taking into account all these factors, the efficient method(s) of producing these coatings are indicated finally. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In vivo evaluation of the trabecular bone behavior to porous electrostatic spray deposition-derived calcium phosphate coatings

CLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 3 2007
Marijke C. Siebers
Abstract Objectives: Electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) is a new technique to deposit calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bone behavior of ESD CaP-coated implants with various degrees of crystallinities in the trabecular bone of the femoral condyle of goats. Material and methods: Using the ESD technique, thin porous CaP coatings were deposited on tapered, conical, screw-shaped titanium implants. Three different heat-treatments were applied, resulting in amorphous CaP (400°C, ESD1), crystalline carbonate apatite (500°C, ESD2), and crystalline carbonated hydroxyapatite (700°C, ESD3). Implants were inserted into the trabecular bone of the femoral condyles of goats for 12 weeks, and titanium (Ti) implants served as controls. Results: The results showed that ESD-derived coatings are osteocompatible. Histomorphometrical analysis showed that the application of a CaP coating resulted in more bone contact along the press-fit area of the implant compared with the Ti implants. Moreover, the percentage bone contact of the ESD3-coated implants was increased, compared with the Ti control group. Regarding the other coatings, no differences were found compared with the control group. Conclusion: Crystalline carbonated hydroxyapatite ESD-coated implants positively influenced the biological performance compared with Ti control implants. [source]
