ABSTRACT

This paper explores the features of both nanoporous and compact TiO2 films formed by titanium anodisation in two experimental conditions, given that they have completely different morphologies and properties than those found by our previous studies. After anodisation, samples have been subjected for 20 days to immersion tests in different media (H2O, H3PO4, and KOH). Surface morphology, phase composition and wettability of anodised films were investigated using FESEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and XPS, and the hydrophilicity of modified surfaces was investigated by immersion tests. Nanoporous films exhibited hydrophobic surfaces, but contact angle values gradually decreased after immersing films in H2O, H3PO4 and KOH media, respectively. However, compact films produced superhydrophilic surfaces, both before and after immersion tests, with the exception of immersing the film in a H3PO4 medium due to film removal by acid attack. As for compact films, an unusual morphology revealed by the presence of cone-shaped particles might be responsible for the adsorption of -OH groups arranged so as to favour anatase phase formation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Several studies proved that anodic oxidation improves osseointegration. This study aimed to optimize osseointegration through anodization in dental implants, obtaining anatase phase and controlled nanotopography. METHODS: The division of the groups with 60 titanium implants was: control (CG); sandblasted (SG); anodized (AG): anodized pulsed current (duty cycle 30%, 30 V, 0.2 A and 1000 Hz). Before surgery, surface characterization was performed using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Dispersive Energy Spectroscopy (EDS) and Raman Spectroscopy. For in vivo tests, 10 New Zealand white rabbits received an implant from each group. The sacrifice period was 2 and 6 weeks (n = 5) and the specimens were subjected to computed microtomography (µCT) and reverse torque test. RESULTS: AFM and SEM demonstrated a particular nanotopography on the surface in AG; the anatase phase was proved by Raman spectroscopy. In the µCT and in the reverse torque test, the AG group presented better results than the other groups. CONCLUSION: The chemical composition and structure of the TiO2 film were positively affected by the anodizing technique, intensifying the biological characteristics in osseointegration.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho apresenta uma revisão da literatura com os principais estudos relacionados com o processo de corrosão de amálgamas dentários. Este fenômeno tem sido extensivamente estudada com respeito à fratura marginal, deterioração superficial, microestrutura da superfície corroída, liberação de produtos de corrosão e biocompatibilidade. A grande diversidade de amálgamas comerciais, suas complexas estruturas metalúrgicas, a constante variação na composição da saliva natural e as variáveis que condicionam os experimentos in vitro impedem a interpretação da corrosão como um processo global. Como conseqüência, limita-se o conhecimento principalmente sobre as transformações microestruturais que ocorrem na superfície de cada tipo de amálgama antes e após do processo de corrosão em condições in vivo ou in vitro
