Abstract :

We investigated the early tissue response and osseointegration following implantation of surface-modified titanium implants in a rabbit model. The surface morphologies of biodenta surface-treated (BST) implants were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Hemocompatibility was assessed by blood dripping and immersion tests. Moreover, biomechanical properties were evaluated using computer-aided programs with a three-dimensional model. In our animal experiment, implants were inserted into the trabecular bone of 12 rabbits. Each rabbit received two implants: untreated and BST implants. The results showed that surface treatment significantly altered bone-to-implant contact (BIC). At 12 weeks, BST implants exhibited significantly higher BIC values than untreated implants. BST implants exhibited enhanced osseointegration, particularly during the early stages of bone healing. Thus, our results demonstrated that biodenta surface treatment provided a reliable surface modification for dental implants.
