Abstract
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this research is to study about initial adhesion, proliferation and activation of osteoblast to titanium surface treated with machined, hydroxyapatite coating, resorbable blast material blasting and anodizing method.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: After treating the titanium surface of each block with machined, impurities were removed and sterilized. The number of cells attached from cultured osteoblast of respective experimental groups were measured at 1, 4, 7, and 14day and alkaline phosphatase, calcium, and inorganic phosphate concentration of cultured solution was measured.
RESULT: Anodizing group showed the highest rate of cell attachment and proliferation activity. RBM treated group showed the highest increasing on their alkaline phosphatase activity, on the calcium apposition, on inorganic phosphate apposition of 1 and 4 days in cultured osteoblast to compare with other groups.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of these findings, we conclude that surface modification of titanium was profoundly effected on the attachment, proliferation and activation of osteoblast in initial stage osseointegration.
