Abstract

Objectives

This study presents a biomechanical comparison of bone response to commercially pure titanium screws with four different types of surface topographies placed in the tibial metaphysis of 30 rabbits.

Materials and methods

One hundred twenty implants were tested double-blinded: (a) blasted, acid-etched, and discrete crystal deposition (DCD), (b) blasted, (c) acid-etched, and (d) blasted and acid-etch. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA/ISQ), reverse torque values (RTV), and bone-to-implant contact (BIC) were measured at the time of implant insertion (day 0), 15, 28, and 56 days of healing.

Results

All groups tested demonstrated increased RFA/ISQ and RTV results over the time course. At 15 days, the blasted, acid-etched, and DCD group demonstrated a non-significant trend toward higher values when compared to the blasted and etched group (33.0 ± 16 vs. 26.3 ± 12 Ncm, p = .16). At 56 days, the groups utilizing blasting to create additional surface roughness (Sa > 1 micron) showed a statistical significant difference in RTQ versus the non-blasted group (38.5 ± 14 vs. 29.5 ± 9 Ncm, p = .03).

Conclusions

Within the limitations of this study, only the increase in surface roughness (Ra > 1) at 56 days demonstrated statistically significant effects on RTQ. Other additional surface features, such as sub-micron scale DCD, demonstrated improved healing trends but without significance for clinical applications.
