A histological analysis was made of Premium implants treated with a classic ZirTi surface and with 3 other experimental surfaces. The sites were prepared following the standard protocol or creating a coronal defect. Ground sections at 3 months all showed excellent BIC values, but only the implants with the ZirTi surface had 100% survival.

This in vivo study analysed the histological results of implants with 4 different surfaces inserted bicortically in rabbit tibiae: the conventional ZirTi surface present on Premium implants, and 3 different experimental surfaces. Ground sections were prepared at 5, 8, 15 and 30 days, giving a significant vision of the evolution of the bone healing process in the first month. In particular, a higher percentage increase of the mineralized component of the bone in contact with the implants was demonstrated. The ZirTi surface was once again found to be effective in the osseointegration process.

This study reports the preliminary in vitro results of the osteoblastic function of Connexin Cx43 on 4 different surfaces, one with a classic ZirTi morphology and 3 with various experimental patterns. The roughness and morphology of the ZirTi surface was shown to be capable of activating Connexin Cx43, with the consequent release of extracellular stimuli, as with the other experimental surfaces tested.

A chemico-morphological characterization was made of Premium implants by means of ESEM-EDX analyses after 28 days of immersion in a simulated body fluid. Surfaces were found to be micro-morphologically uniform on the entire body of the implants, as were the macro-configurations of the screws. At the end of the test, apatite spherulites were detected on all surfaces, demonstrating the capacity of ZirTi surface to nucleate calcium phosphates.

This in vivo study compared the osteointegration of implants with two different surfaces (standard ZirTi versus experimental ZirTi with dendrimer coating) inserted with two different techniques (sites prepared with conventional drills versus piezoelectric preparation). The dendrimer coating and the use of the piezoelectric technique did not show any statistically significant advantages, in terms of BIC values, with respect to those obtained with conventional preparations and standard ZirTi surfaces.

IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF A NEW IMPLANT SURFACE WITH NANOSTRUCTURED MORPHOLOGY

The complex surface morphology of nanostructured surfaces causes significant platelet activation, if compared to a smooth surface. Attachment tests of osteoblastic cells on nanostructured surfaces show a good level of interaction and complete colonisation of the cells. The results are a necessary in-vitro premise of the good functionality of these surfaces.
