Effects on the osseointegration of titanium implants incorporating calcium-magnesium

What is it about?

This study assessed the bone formation around titanium surface incorporating the Calcium-Magnesium (CaMg) deposited by blasted in rabbit tibia bone to determine whether this surface would further enhance bone healing compared with commercially available implants surface.

Why is it important?

Blasted CaMg deposition on SLA implants surface displayed almost identical surface morphologies and R(a) values at the micron-scale. In comparing the implant stability quotient at the three time points, highly significant statistic differences were found (p < 0.001). Histomorphological analysis showed higher degrees of bone organization in the samples of test implant surfaces at both implantation times. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that the deposition of CaMg on the SLA titanium surface may be effective in enhancing the osseointegration of moderately rough grit-blasted implants by increasing the degree of bone-implant contact.
