Abstract

In order to enhance the rapid osseointegration and long-term survival of dental implants, various works on titanium surface modification have been carried out. However, only improving osteogenic activity of implants is not enough, because angiogenesis and bacteria inhibition are also very important for dental implants. In the present study, a novel dental implant material-dual Zn/Mg ion co-implanted titanium (Zn/Mg-PIII) was developed, which was found to have superior osteoinductivity, pro-angiogenic effects and inhibitory effects against oral anaerobes. Furthermore, synergistic effects of Zn/Mg ions on osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and the possible mechanism were discovered. In addition, rapid osseointegration and sustained biomechanical stability are greatly enhanced by Zn/Mg-PIII implants, which may have the potential application in dental implantation in the future. We believe this paper may be of particular interest to the readers.
