Influence of Temperature and Time of Acid Etching on the Surface Morphology of Titanium for Dental Implants
Summary
Pure titanium (cp Ti) and its alloys are used as biomaterials in medicine and dentistry. CP Ti osseointegration is associated with the properties of a titanium oxide (TiO2) surface layer, which enables adherence of proteins (fibronectin, osteopontin, sialoprotein) and induces cell differentiation in osteoblasts [1]. Another reason why cp Ti is used in dental implants is that this material does not damage cells, is not rejected by the immunological system and resists to mechanical loadings that occur in the oral environment. Other biomaterials like stainless steel, Cr-Co alloys, alumina, and zirconia induce the formation of fibrous tissue, compromising osseointegration [2]
