Surface modification of titanium implants by grit-blasting with novel bioactive glasses

Al-Khayyat, Farah Nabeel Mohammed Tahir January 2018 (has links)
Introduction: The survival of dental implants depends on osseointegration. Modifications to the implant surface are attractive for promoting the success of the implant. Abrading the surface of the implant with bioactive glass is an attractive option for improving the speed of osseointegration. Aims: To develop a bioactive glass that has the ability to enhance the surface roughness of the implant by embedding particles into the surface and to investigate the effect of grit blast parameters on the removal of the titanium from the surface. Methods: Three glasses based on SiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5-CaF2 were synthesized by a melt quench technique. The glasses were characterised and investigated for their bioactivity. Titanium discs were abraded with coarse glass particles by using a grit blast technique with different parameters, such as, distance, air pressure and speed. The depth, width of the abraded line and surface roughness (Ra) were measured by light profilometer. The distribution of the glasses on the titanium surface was measured by SEM-EDX. The biocompatibility of the abraded discs was tested in vitro using MC3T3-E1 cell line. Results: All glasses exhibited an amorphous structure with varied bioactivity. Changing the abrasion parameters influenced the amount of titanium removed and the surface coverage. The harder the glass the lower the amount of titanium removed and the wider the width of the abraded area. The Ra was significantly increased from 0.1μm to 1.6μm. The SEM-EDX analysis confirmed that the glasses were widely distributed and a higher coverage was seen with the harder glass. The abraded discs showed good biocompatibility in vitro. Conclusions: The designed compositions were successfully modifying the surface of the titanium. They are abrasive enough to significantly embed into the titanium surface by using the grit blast technique and increase their surface roughness.

Andrade, Dennia Perez de. January 2011 (has links)
Resumo: Titânio (Ti) é um dos melhores biomateriais para a confecção de implantes cirúrgicos, porém, estudos com novas ligas de Ti e variações da topografia visam otimizar os resultados da osseointegração. O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar a biocompatibilidade de amostras densas e porosas da liga titânio- 35nióbio submetidas ou não ao tratamento biomimético, comparadas a amostras de Ti puro grau 2. As amostras foram divididas em 6 grupos (G): a) G1- Ti denso; b) G2 - Ti poroso; c) G3 - Ti poroso tratado; d) G4 - Ti-35Nb denso; e) G5 - Ti-35Nb poroso; f) G6 - Ti-35Nb poroso tratado. Células osteogênicas obtidas da calvária de ratos recémnascidos foram plaqueadas sobre as amostras e a adesão celular foi avaliada após 4 e 24 horas, enquanto a proliferação celular foi avaliada em 1, 3, 7 e 10 dias. A viabilidade foi avaliada em 1, 3, 7 e 10 dias. Para os demais testes as células foram cultivadas por 7, 10 e 14 dias. Após 14 dias, as culturas foram coradas com vermelho de Alizarina S para detecção dos nódulos de mineralização. As amostras foram caracterizadas por espectroscopia por dispersão de energia (EDS), difração de raio X (DRX), análise metalográfica e de rugosidade. Os dados da análise metalográfica foram submetidos ao teste de Kruskal Wallis e os dados das análises celulares foram comparados pelos testes Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney e T-Student, (p<0,05). O EDS demonstrou a presença de íons sódio, fósforo, magnésio e cálcio nas amostras tratadas de ambos os grupos. O DRX demonstrou a presença dos metais titânio e nióbio na liga teste. A análise metalográfica demonstrou que as amostras porosas apresentavam poros interligados, com morfologia variada e a análise pelo rugosímetro demonstrou...

Studies with new titanium alloys and varied surface topographies seek for improved osseointegration results. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate dense and porous titanium- 35 niobium alloys, submitted or not to biomimetic treatment in comparison to degree 2 pure titanium specimens. Specimens were divided into 6 groups (G): a) G1 - dense Ti; b) G2 - porous Ti; c) G3 - treated porous Ti; d) G4 - dense Ti-35Nb; e) G5 - porous Ti-35Nb and f) G6 - treated porous Ti-35Nb. Osteogenic cells from newborn rats calvarium were plated over the samples and cell adhesion assessed after 4 and 24 hours. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed at 1, 3, 7 and 10 days. Cells were cultured for 7, 10 and 14 days for further testings. Cell cultures were stained with Alizarin Red S after 14 days for mineralization nodules detection. Specimens were characterized by means of Energy Dispersion Spectrophotometry (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), metallographic and profilometer analyses. Metallographic data were submitted to Kruskal Wallis, while cell analyses were assessed with Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney and T-Student tests (P<0.05). EDS results detected the presence of sodium, phosphor, magnesium and calcium ions in treated specimens from both groups. XRD showed the presence of titanium and niobium for the test alloy. Metallographic analysis revealed interconnected pores and varied morphology within the porous specimens. Greater rugosity was detected by the profilometer analysis within the dense alloy specimens. In vitro tests revealed similar biocompatibility of Ti- 35Nb and degree 2 pure Ti. Porosity did not interfere, but in some scenarios improved alloy biocompatibility. The biomimetic treatment favor greater production...

Biomec?nica e otimiza??o topol?gica com H-adaptatividade em implantes dent?rios nitretados a plasma em c?todo oco

Coutinho, Karilany Dantas 10 June 2014 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T14:57:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 KarilanyDC_TESE.pdf: 5082673 bytes, checksum: 4427463c2d2c4ca61196bdca31ba604e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-06-10 / In recent years there has been a significant growth in technologies that modify implant surfaces, reducing healing time and allowing their successful use in areas with low bone density. One of the most widely used techniques is plasma nitration, applied with excellent results in titanium and its alloys, with greater frequency in the manufacture of hip, ankle and shoulder implants. However, its use in dental implants is very limited due to high process temperatures (between 700 C o and 800 C o ), resulting in distortions in these geometrically complex and highly precise components. The aim of the present study is to assess osseointegration and mechanical strength of grade II nitrided titanium samples, through configuration of hollow cathode discharge. Moreover, new formulations are proposed to determine the optimum structural topology of the dental implant under study, in order to perfect its shape, make it efficient, competitive and with high definition. In the nitriding process, the samples were treated at a temperature of 450 C o and pressure of 150 Pa , during 1 hour of treatment. This condition was selected because it obtains the best wettability results in previous studies, where different pressure, temperature and time conditions were systematized. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, roughness, microhardness and wettability. Biomechanical fatigue tests were then conducted. Finally, a formulation using the three dimensional structural topology optimization method was proposed, in conjunction with an hadaptive refinement process. The results showed that plasma nitriding, using the hollow cathode discharge technique, caused changes in the surface texture of test specimens, increases surface roughness, wettability and microhardness when compared to the untreated sample. In the biomechanical fatigue test, the treated implant showed no flaws, after five million cycles, at a maximum fatigue load of 84.46 N. The results of the topological optimization process showed well-defined optimized layouts of the dental implant, with a clear distribution of material and a defined edge / Nos ?ltimos anos tem-se observado um grande crescimento em tecnologias para modifica??o de superf?cies de implantes que reduzam o tempo de espera da cicatriza??o, assim como possibilite seu uso com sucesso em ?reas de baixa densidade ?ssea. Dentre as diferentes t?cnicas, a nitreta??o por plasma desponta como forte candidata, uma vez que a mesma j? est? sendo empregada com excelentes resultados no tit?nio e suas ligas, aplicados com maior frequ?ncia na confec??o de implantes de quadril, ombro e tornozelo. Entretanto, seu uso em implantes dent?rios ? bastante limitado devido ?s altas temperaturas do processo (entre 700 C o e 800 C o ) resultando em distor??es nessas pe?as que possuem geometria complexa e alto grau de precis?o. O objetivo deste trabalho ? avaliar a osseointegra??o e resist?ncia mec?nica de amostras de tit?nio grau II nitretadas, atrav?s da configura??o de descarga em c?todo oco. Al?m disto, propor formula??es para determina??o da topologia ?tima estrutural do implante dent?rio em estudo, com o intuito de aperfei?oar sua forma, que seja eficiente, competitiva e com alta defini??o. No processo de nitreta??o, as amostras foram tratadas em temperatura a de 450 oC e press?o de 150 Pa , durante 1 hora de tratamento. Esta condi??o foi escolhida por apresentar os melhores resultados de molhabilidade em trabalhos anteriores, onde sistematizou-se diferentes condi??es de press?o, temperatura e tempo. As amostras tratadas foram caracterizadas por Difra??o de Raios-X, Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura, Rugosidade, Microdureza e Molhabilidade. Posteriormente, foram realizados ensaios biomec?nicos de fadiga. Finalizando com uma proposta de formula??o atrav?s do m?todo de otimiza??o topol?gica tridimensional, combinado a um processo de refino h-adaptativo. Os resultados mostraram que a nitreta??o a plasma, utilizando a t?cnica de descarga em c?todo oco, produziu mudan?as na textura superficial dos corpos de prova, aumento da rugosidade superficial, da molhabilidade e da microdureza quando comparado a amostra sem tratamento. No ensaio biomec?nico de fadiga, o implante tratado n?o apresentou sinal de falha, ap?s cinco milh?es de ciclos, a uma carga m?xima de fadiga de 84, 46 N . Os resultados do processo de otimiza??o topol?gica apresentaram leiautes otimizados bem definidos do implante dent?rio, com uma n?tida distribui??o de material e defini??o do contorno.
