Abstract
The development of effective methods to promote the osseointegration of dental implants by surface modification is an area of intense research in dental materials science. Exogenous metal ions present in the implant and surface modifications are closely related to the bone metabolism around the implant. In the complex oral microenvironment, the release of metal ions caused by continuous corrosion of dental implants has an unfavorable impact on the surrounding tissue, and then affects osseointegration, leading to bad results such as loosening and falling off in the late stage of the implant. Besides, these ions can even be distributed in distant tissues and organs. Currently, surface modification techniques are being developed that involve different processing technologies including the introduction of exogenous metal ions with different properties onto the surface of implants to improve performance. However, most metal elements have some level of biological toxicity and can only be used within a safe concentration range to exert the optimum biological effects on recipients. In this paper, we review the adverse effects of metal ions on osseointegration and highlight the emerging applications for metal elements in improving the performance of dental implants.

Abstract
The presence of a biomimetic HAP coating on titanium surface, which reduces the structural stiffness, is essential to improve implants biocompatibility and osteointegration. In this study, new citrate-HAP (cHAP) coatings were produced by a simple hydrothermal method on pure titanium (Ti) surface, without requiring any additional pretreatment on this metal surface. The formed cHAP coatings consisting of nanorod-like hydroxyapatite particles, conferred nanoroughness and wettability able to endow improved biological responses. Indeed, the presence of citrate species in the precipitate medium seems to be responsible for controlling the morphology of the new coatings. The presence of citrate groups on the surface of cHAP coatings, identified by chemical composition analysis, due to their implication in bone metabolism can additionally bring an add-value for bone implant applications. From a mechanical point of view, the Finite Element algorithm showing that cHAP coatings tend to decrease the mechanical stress at pure Ti, further favors these new coatings applicability. Overall, the simple and expedite strategy used to developed new biomimetic coatings of citrate-HAP resulted in improved physicochemical, morphological and mechanical properties of Ti, which can endeavor improved implantable materials in bone healing surgical procedures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The surface area of exposed metal in a trabecular-titanium acetabular component is wider compared to traditional-titanium implants. The purpose of this study is to establish if this increase in surface area can lead to a significant increase in systemic metal levels. METHODS 19 patients with conventional acetabular component and 19 with trabecular-titanium cup were compared. Aluminum, Vanadium and Titanium in blood and urine were assessed before surgery and at intervals for 2 years. The samples were analysed using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. RESULTS Patients with trabecular-titanium did not have significantly higher metal ion levels compared to patients with conventional cups up to 2 years. A trend over time was statistically significant in both blood and urine for aluminum and titanium concentrations. CONCLUSIONS The three-dimensionality and the wide surface of the trabecular-titanium acetabular component did not affect metal ion release compared to traditional implants after 2 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nanoparticles having a size from 1 to 100nm are present in nature and are successfully used in many products of daily life. Nanoparticles are also embedded per se or as byproducts from milling processes of larger filler particles in many dental materials. METHODS AND RESULTS Recently, possible adverse effects of nanoparticles have gained increased interest with the lungs being a main target organ. Exposure to nanoparticles in dentistry may occur in the dental laboratory, by processing gypsum type products or by grinding and polishing materials. In the dental practice virtually no exposure to nanoparticles occurs when handling unset materials. However, nanoparticles are produced by intraoral adjustment of set restorative materials through grinding/polishing regardless whether they contain nanoparticles or not. Nanoparticles may also be produced through wear of restorations or released from dental implants and they enter the environment when removing restorations. The risk for dental technicians is taken care of by legal regulations. Based on model worst case mass-based calculations, the exposure of dental practice personnel and patients to nanoparticles through intraoral grinding/polishing and wear is low to negligible. Accordingly, the additional risk due to nanoparticles exposure from present materials is considered to be low. However, more research is needed, especially on vulnerable groups (asthma or COPD). An assessment of risks for the environment is not possible due to the lack of data. SIGNIFICANCE Measures to reduce exposure to nanoparticles include intraorally grinding/polishing using water coolants, proper sculpturing to reduce the need for grinding and sufficient ventilation of treatment areas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to measure titanium (Ti) content in human jawbones and to show that Ti was released from dental implants inserted into these jawbones. METHODS Seven samples from four human subjects with dental implants were analysed as test group and six bone samples of similar topographical regions from six human subjects without implants served as control. The contents of various elements in human jawbones were detected by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The distributions of various isotopes in human mandibular bone were measured with laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Histological analyses of undecalcified, Giemsa-Eosin stained mandible sections were performed by light microscopy and particles were identified in human bone marrow by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray analysis. RESULTS In test group only Ti content was significantly higher compared to control group. The mean contents of Ti were 1940μg/kg in test group and 634μg/kg in control group. The highest Ti content detected in human mandibular bone was 37,700μg/kg-bone weight. In samples 4-7 (human subjects II-IV), increased Ti intensity was also detected by LA-ICP-MS in human mandibular tissues at a distance of 556-1587μm from implants, and the intensity increased with decreasing distance from implants. Particles with sizes of 0.5-40μm were found in human jawbone marrow tissues at distances of 60-700μm from implants in samples 4-7. SIGNIFICANCE Ti released from dental implants can be detected in human mandibular bone and bone marrow tissues, and the distribution of Ti in human bone was related to the distance to the implant.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating was formed on zinc phosphate (Ti-Zn-PO4) coated Ti plates by hydrothermal treatment in CaCl2 solution at 200 °C for 12 h. Uniform surface coverage of the fabricated HAp coating was obtained by this method. SEM-EDX analysis of the adhesion test area showed that the presence of fractures only occurred in HAp crystals. On the other words cohesive fracture was seen in HAp coating layer formed on the Ti-Zn-PO4. The measured strength was around 42.3 ± 17 MPa. Rat bone marrow (RBM) mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and differentiation-induced on each sample (Ti plate, Ti-Zn-PO4 coated and HAp coated), and cell calcification properties were examined. Apparent differences in morphology and extension of the RBM cells were obtained, while the Ti-Zn-PO4 coated samples showed the highest cell number among all samples. After differentiation-induction, HAp coated samples showed the highest amount of alkaline phosphatase activity, and the highest level of cell calcification. Therefore, the hard tissue compatibility of Ti is improved by hydrothermally HAp coating of samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE Slow-resorbing deproteinized bovine bone grafts have presented high success rates when used for sinus augmentation. However, histologic evaluation shows that this material is eventually excreted as a result of a foreign body reaction. The purpose of this study was to compare and to evaluate the performance of a recently introduced particulate porous graft material, consisting of pure titanium granule (PTG) to the deproteinized bovine bone grafts, when used as a sinus augmentation material. MATERIALS AND METHODS To understand the histological aspects of PTG, deproteinized bovine particulates (Bio-Oss) and PTG were placed contralaterally as sinus grafting materials in 2 patients. After 9 months, biopsies were performed for histologic and 3-dimensional analysis. RESULTS Both materials were in contact with newly formed bone. The Bio-Oss showed signs of foreign body reaction. In contrast, bone filled the space between the single PTG particulates, and no foreign body reaction was observed. CONCLUSIONS From a bone formation perspective, PTG grafts were comparable with the commonly used Bio-Oss grafts and may be regarded as a possible alternative for permanent grafting in sinus augmentation.

Abstract
Keratoprosthetic devices are subject to chronic inflammatory, pathological processes and the external environment that affect their stability and biocompatibility with the ocular surface and adjacent ocular tissues. We compared the corrosion resistance property and tissue-implant reaction of titanium oxide (TiO(2)) with hydroxyapatite (HA) in artificial tear fluid and a rabbit skin implantation model. The dissolution properties of the implant surfaces were evaluated with scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Tissue inflammatory reactions were evaluated by Hematoxylin & Eosin staining, avidin biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) immunoassay and immunofluorescence. SEM and AFM images showed that there was less pitting corrosion on the surface of TiO(2) implants compared with HA. TiO(2) and HA exhibited a similar pattern of foreign body capsule formation and inflammatory cellular responses. The Collagen I/Collagen III ratio of the TiO(2) capsule was higher than that of the HA capsule. TiO(2) implants possess a high corrosion resistance property both in vitro and in vivo and the inflammatory cellular response to TiO(2) is similar to HA. With regards to corrosion resistance and inflammatory tissue responses, TiO(2) appears to be a promising material for keratoprosthetic skirt devices.

Abstract
Among various dental materials and their successful applications, a dental implant is a good example of the integrated system of science and technology involved in multiple disciplines including surface chemistry and physics, biomechanics, from macro-scale to nano-scale manufacturing technologies and surface engineering. As many other dental materials and devices, there are crucial requirements taken upon on dental implants systems, since surface of dental implants is directly in contact with vital hard/soft tissue and is subjected to chemical as well as mechanical bio-environments. Such requirements should, at least, include biological compatibility, mechanical compatibility, and morphological compatibility to surrounding vital tissues. In this review, based on carefully selected about 500 published articles, these requirements plus MRI compatibility are firstly reviewed, followed by surface texturing methods in details. Normally dental implants are placed to lost tooth/teeth location(s) in adult patients whose skeleton and bony growth have already completed. However, there are some controversial issues for placing dental implants in growing patients. This point has been, in most of dental articles, overlooked. This review, therefore, throws a deliberate sight on this point. Concluding this review, we are proposing a novel implant system that integrates materials science and up-dated surface technology to improve dental implant systems exhibiting bio- and mechano-functionalities.

Abstract
There are two ways of looking at secondary failures of osseointegration; one is to reflect on possible causes for the failure, the other focuses on the pathology per se. In the first case, background factors such as mechanical trauma (adverse loading) or inflammations/infections are being discussed as the cause of failure. Then peri-implantitis is a term reserved for implant disturbance due to inflammation/infections only. However, irrespective of the original reason for the failure being adverse loading or inflammation/infection, the end result with bone resorption and inflammation may be very similar. Hence, in the present article, an alternative outlook has been chosen. Trigerring factors for peri-implantitis are generally gathered under four categories: lesions of peri-implant attachment, presence of aggressive bacteria, excessive mechanical stress, and corrosion. If only one of these factors would start a chain reaction leading to lesions, then the other factors may combine to worsen the condition. With other words, peri-implantitis is a general term dependent on a synergy of several factors, irrespective of the precise reason for first triggering off symptoms.

Abstract
Ti being bioinert shows poor bone cell adhesion with an intervening fibrous capsule. Ti could be made bioactive by several methods including growing in situ TiO2 layer on Ti-surface. TiO2 nanotubes were grown on Ti surface via anodization process and the bone cell-material interactions were evaluated. Human osteoblast cell attachment and growth behavior were studied using an osteoprecursor cell line for 3, 7, and 11 days. An abundant amount of extracellular matrix (ECM) between the neighboring cells was noticed on anodized nanotube surface with filopodia extensions coming out from cells to grasp the nanoporous surface of the nanotube for anchorage. To better understand and compare cell-materials interactions, anodized nanoporous sample surfaces were etched with different patterns. Preferential cell attachment was noticed on nanotube surface compare to almost no cells in etched Ti surface. Cell adhesion with vinculin adhesive protein showed higher intensity, positive contacts on nanoporous surface and thin focal contacts on the Ti-control. Immunochemistry study with alkaline phosphatase showed enhanced osteoblastic phenotype expressions in nanoporous surface. Osteoblast proliferation was significantly higher on anodized nanotube surface. Surface properties changed with the emergence of nanoscale morphology. Higher nanometer scale roughness, low contact angle and high surface energy in nanoporous surface enhanced the osteoblast-material interactions. Mineralization study was done under simulated body fluid (SBF) with ion concentration nearly equal to human blood plasma to understand biomimetic apatite deposition behavior. Although apatite layer formation was noticed on nanotube surface, but it was nonuniform even after 21 days in SBF.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine in vitro the effects of different surface topographies and chemistries of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) surfaces on osteoblast growth and attachment. Microgrooves (widths of 2, 4, 8 and 10 microm and a depth of 1.5-2 microm) were patterned onto silicon (Si) substrates using microlithography and reactive ion etching. The Si substrates were subsequently vapor coated with either cpTi or DLC coatings. All surfaces were characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurements. Using the MG63 Osteoblast-Like cell line, we determined cell viability, adhesion, and morphology on different substrates over a 3 day culture period. The results showed cpTi surfaces to be significantly more hydrophilic than DLC for groove sizes larger than 2 microm. Cell contact guidance was observed for all grooved samples in comparison to the unpatterned controls. The cell viability tests indicated a significantly greater cell number for 8 and 10 microm grooves on cpTi surfaces compared to other groove sizes. The cell adhesion study showed that the smaller groove sizes, as well as the unpatterned control groups, displayed better cell adhesion to the substrate.

Abstract
For the first time, a highly porous strong Ti6Al4V was produced by using a "polymeric sponge replication" method. A polymeric sponge, impregnated with a Ti6Al4V slurry prepared from Ti6Al4V powders and binders, was subjected to drying and pyrolyzing to remove the polymeric sponge and binders. After sintering at a high temperature and under high vacuum, a porous Ti6Al4V was produced. Optical microscopical observation, environmental scanning electron microscopy observation (with energy-dispersive micro X-ray analysis), mechanical tests, and metallurgical analyses were performed on the obtained porous Ti6Al4V with regard to the porous structure (both macropores and micropores), mechanical properties, chemical composition, phase compositions, and cell attachment behavior. The porous Ti6Al4V made by this method had a three-dimensional trabecular porous structure with interconnected pores mainly ranging from 400 to 700 microm and a total porosity of about 90%. The compressive strength was 10.3 +/- 3.3 MPa and the elastic constant 0.8 +/- 0.3 GPa. MC3T3-E1 cells attached and spread well in the inner surface of pores. Being similar to cancellous bone with regard to both interconnected porous structure and mechanical properties, the resulting porous Ti6Al4V is expected to be a promising biomaterial for biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant surface topography influences the bone response after implantation. However, the importance of surface orientation is not known. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the bone tissue response and the stability of titanium implants prepared with isotropic and anisotropic surfaces of similar roughness. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 implants were divided into two groups and were inserted into the femurs of nine rabbits for 12 weeks. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used for the topographic description to verify that the two different surfaces were modified as intended. The stability of the implants was recorded by resonance frequency (RF) measurements at insertion and at time of removal, after which the implants were evaluated histomorphometrically. RESULTS RF measurements showed that implant stability increased with time. However, there was no significant difference between the two different surface modifications at insertion and after 12 weeks. The histomorphometric comparison revealed no statistically significant differences in regard to either bone-to-metal contact or bone area inside the threads. CONCLUSION Titanium implants prepared with isotropic and anisotropic surfaces of similar roughness integrate similarly to bone during the 3 months after implantation.

Abstract
Orthodontic stainless-steel appliances are considered to be corrosion resistant, but localized corrosion can occur in the oral cavity. This study was undertaken to evaluate the properties of super stainless steels in orthodontic applications. Accordingly, the metallurgical properties, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, amount of the released nickel, cytotoxicity, and characteristics of the passive film were investigated. Corrosion resistances of the specimens were high and in the following order: super austenitic stainless steel (SR-50A) > super ferritic stainless steel (SFSS) = super duplex stainless steel (SR-6DX) > 316L SS > super martensitic stainless steel (SR-3Mo) in artificial saliva, 37 degrees C. At 500 mV (SCE), current densities of SR-50A, SFSS, SR-6DX, 316L SS, and SR-3Mo were 5.96 microA/cm(2), 20.3 microA/cm(2), 31.9 microA/cm(2), 805 microA/cm(2), and 5.36 mA/cm(2), respectively. Open circuit potentials of SR-50A, 316L SS, SR-6DX, SR-3Mo, and SFSS were - 0.2, - 0.22, - 0.24, - 0.43, and - 0.46 V (SCE), respectively. SR-50A, SFSS, and SR-6DX released below 3 ng/ml nickel for 8 weeks, and increased a little with immersion time, and 316L SS released about 3.5 ng/ml nickel, but SR-3Mo released a large amount of nickel, which increased with immersion time. The study demonstrated that SR-50A, SR-6DX, and SFSS have high corrosion resistance and mild or no cytotoxicity, due to the passive film enhanced by synergistic effect of Mo + N or by high addition effect of Cr + W. All super stainless steels showed very low cytotoxicity regardless of their nickel contents, although SR-3Mo was found to be relatively cytotoxic. From these studies, these steels are considered suitable for orthodontic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Titanium nitride (TiN) has been used in many fields as a coating of surgical instruments, with the purpose of creating materials more resistant to wear and corrosion and also reducing adhesion. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of TiN-coated dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five rats were used in this study. One hundred eighty 2 mm x 2 mm implants (P.H.I. San Vittore Olona, Milano, Italy) were used. The implants were divided into the following three groups: Group 1 (n = 60): 30 machined and 30 machined coated with Group 2 (n = 60): 30 sandblasted and 30 sandblasted coated with Group 3 (n = 60): 30 titanium plasma sprayed, 30 titanium plasma sprayed and coated with TiN Four implants were placed in each rat, two implants coated with TiN on the right tibia and two uncoated implants on the left. The animals were killed after 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. Another 18 implants were used for surface roughness analysis. RESULTS The present study showed that the healing around the TiN-coated implants was similar to that observed around the uncoated surfaces. CONCLUSIONS TiN coating demonstrated a good biocompatibility, did not have untoward effects on the periimplant bone formation, and did not change the surface roughness values.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the stability and bone ingrowth capacity to screw-shaped titanium implants with five different surface treatments. The implants were: (1) standard turned with a thin blood plasma coat (TP), (2) NaOH-etched dito with pore size 0.2-0.3 microm (E), (3) NaOH-etched with pore size 0.2-0.3 microm and a thin blood plasma coat (EP), (4) electrochemically oxidised with pore size 1-2 microm (O), (5) electrochemically oxidised with pore size 1-2 microm and a thin blood plasma coat (OP). A total of 66 implants were divided into the above-described five groups and inserted for 4 weeks into tibia and femur of 11 rabbits. The implants were evaluated by resonance frequency (RF) measurements at the time of insertion and removal, and analysed histomorphometrically at removal. The RF measurements showed that the implant stability was lower in soft bone compared to dense and increased with time. No significant differences were observed between the different surface modifications. The histomorphometric analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between the implants regarding bone-to-metal contact (BMC) and bone area inside the threads (BA). The above results indicate that thin blood plasma-coated and non-coated screw-shaped titanium implants with turned, NaOH-etched and electrochemically etched surface profiles integrate similarly to bone at 1 month of implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surface oxide layer of titanium plays a decisive role in determining biocompatibility. However, there are some reports demonstrating that the natural oxide film may not be sufficiently protective in the aggressive biologic environment. PURPOSE The goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a thick oxide layer on corrosion resistance in vitro and the bone formation around titanium implants in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS A plasma source ion implantation (PSII) method was used to increase the thickness of the surface oxide layer. Several instruments were employed to confirm the surface properties before and after the surface modification. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution were carried out to investigate corrosion resistance in vitro. Bone formation around this surface-modified specimen was examined in a rabbit model and assessed in histomorphometry. RESULTS Improved corrosion resistance was demonstrated by the potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Light microscopic histomorphometry showed that all implants were in contact with bone and had some proportion of bone within the threads at 4 weeks; however, there were no significant differences compared with as-machined controls. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that in spite of improved corrosion resistance in vitro, a thick oxide layer fabricated with the PSII method does not influence early bone formation around titanium implants in vivo.

Abstract
It has been shown that titanium (Ti) has had dramatic success in many surgical procedures as a result of its excellent mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. There is still concern, however, about the release of metal and controversy surrounding whether or not the plates should be removed after bone healing. This study has been conducted to investigate whether or not there is a relationship between duration of plating and metal release from Ti miniplates in maxillofacial surgery. A prospective cohort study design was used. The concentration of Ti, in the soft tissues covering the plates, was examined in all patients who underwent removal of Ti miniplates from January 1998 to April 1999 (51 cases). Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry was used to measure Ti. Total ti and soluble Ti levels were compared to duration of plating (ranged from 15 days to 3 years, mean = 8 months). Correlation coefficients and two-way ANOVA were data processed. The average amount of total Ti in the soft tissues surrounding the plates was 1306 micrograms/g dry tissue. The mean of soluble Ti was 0.53 microgram/g dry tissue. The results of this study do not support the existence of a relationship between duration of plating and total Ti (correlation coefficient = 0.093 (P > 0.1) nor soluble Ti (correlation coefficient = 0.009 (P > 0.1) in the soft tissue surrounding the plates. Moreover, the only independent factor of Ti release found was associated with mechanical constraints during surgery. Almost 100% of Ti is released during the osteosynthesis. Then Ti levels remain constant in the surrounding tissues. Most of the time, Ti seems to be clinically inert. Compared to the possible risks of a second operation, removal of Ti miniplates should not be a routine procedure except in the case of complaints from patients, particularly in the case of infection, hypersensitivity, dehiscence or screw loosening.

Abstract
A modified sandblasting surface treatment (a noncoating, roughening surface modification of dental implants) has been developed that will overcome the defects of conventional coating techniques. To verify the feasibility and reliability of this method at the chemical and topographic levels, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and a titanium ion releasing test were used; the topography of titanium surface, the embedding of sandblasting particles, nonpollution of heteroelements, and anticorrosiveness of titanium were criteria. Results showed that the rough surface created by sandblast was rather irregular, full of sharp tips and many embedded sandblast particles, and its corrosive rate was increased. These characteristics were modified by oxalic acid attack; the contour of the rough surface became more regular and round, the embedded particles and the heteroelement pollution were thoroughly removed, and the Ti corrosive rate decreased dramatically. Oxalic acid attack modification also created numerous secondary micropores (2.0-micron diameter) on the basis of sandblasted surface macrotexture. This modified sandblasting surface treatment is feasible and reliable to apply to dental implants and does not decrease the biocompatibility of titanium.

Abstract
AIMS To find out the extent of chemical contamination on the surface of titanium wrought mesh before and after swaging, and to assess the effectiveness of cleaning off these contaminants by various chemical methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Qualitative analysis of the surfaces of 6 wrought titanium meshes by scanning electron microscopy (EM) and radiological microanalyser. One of these meshes was subjected to experimental cleaning by different methods. Qualitative chemical analysis of 20 titanium trays fabricated for clinical use before and after acid cleansing. RESULTS All 6 titanium meshes had surface contaminants, with silicon being the most common. The effective cleaning methods were chemical cleaning with Titaclean, mechanical trimming, or polishing with diamond paste. The 20 swaged titanium trays were effectively cleaned with either Titaclean or Chemi-Polish solution. CONCLUSION Previously unknown surface contamination was common on wrought titanium mesh. Ultrasonic cleansing with Titaclean or Chemi-Polish effectively removed most of the contaminants on the titanium trays before they were implanted.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatites (HA) were prepared by precipitation from an aqueous solution with Ti4+ (0-2500 microg/g) and with carbonate (0.8-4.0%) at pH 7.0. The uptake of Ti was found to be 75% of the original amounts. Stoichiometric ratios of Ca/P (1.67) were found for low carbonate samples. X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy have shown that samples have structural data characteristic for HA. Heat treatment and thermogravimetric analysis (20-900 degrees C) have shown carbonate decomposition enhanced by the presence of Ti and no transformation of the HA structure. It was also found that 0.2 mol of adsorbed and 0.6-0.8 mol of crystalline water are released from the samples during heating. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of plate like crystals which increase in size with increase of carbonate content. Samples with high carbonate and high Ti content have irregular shape and are sensitive to electron beam irradiation as opposed to non-doped samples. Ti appears to have a destabilizing effect on HA. The incorporation of Ti in HA and the biological relevance of Ti in bone crystals is discussed.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the surface topography, composition, and oxide thickness of consecutively failed, oral Brånemark implants in order to determine possible causes for failure. The failure criterion was lack of osseointegration manifested as implant mobility. Ten implants were retrieved before loading (early failures) and 12 during a period of function up to 8 years (late failures). At retrieval, early losses did not display any clinical sign of infection. All late failures were radiographically characterized by peri-implant radiolucency and did not show infectious signs with one exception. No implant seemed to be lost due to peri-implantitis (plaque-induced progressive marginal bone loss). Twelve implants were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and depth profiling using a blind protocol. Two pristine fixtures, which underwent the same preparation as the failed implants, were used as controls. In the SEM, control samples were essentially free from macroscopic contamination, whereas failed implants contained varying amounts of tissue residues. AES showed that all surfaces consisted of Ti oxide and varying amounts of additional elements, with C dominating in most cases. Nitrogen and sometimes Na, Ca, P, Cl, S, and Si were detected. The Si contamination was most likely due to ion leaching from the glass vials used for storage. Depth profiles showed a typical oxide thickness of 5-8 nm for all samples. In conclusion, no significant changes in the oxide layer composition or thickness as a result of implantation were observed. The results do not indicate any material-related cause for the failures of these implants. Possible reasons for these failures were impaired healing, asymptomatic infection, and overload.

Abstract
Enhancement of epithelial cell attachment to laminin-5-coated titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) implant material was evaluated in vitro. Protein analysis showed that Ti-6Al-4V has a high affinity for laminin-5 and adsorbed significantly more laminin-5 than laminin-1. DNA analysis showed that laminin-5 enhanced attachment of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) to Ti-6Al-4V significantly more than did laminin-1 or uncoated controls. The effect of passivation on laminin-5 adsorption and activity on Ti-6Al-4V also was evaluated. Passivation had no significant effect on the amount of protein adsorbed; however, AFM, ESCA, and ToF-SIMS analyses suggested that passivation affects the conformation of adsorbed laminin-5. Although laminin-5 coating significantly enhanced rapid attachment of epithelial cells to both passivated and unpassivated Ti-6Al-4V, surface area measurements showed that cells spread on laminin-5-coated passivated Ti-6Al-4V covered a significantly larger surface area than cells spread on laminin-5-coated unpassivated samples. TEM analysis showed that cells formed significantly more hemidesmosomes on the surface of laminin-5 coated passivated than on the surface of laminin-5 coated unpassivated titanium alloy. The enhancement of rapid cell attachment, spreading, and hemidesmosome assembly on laminin-5-coated passivated samples may reflect better integration between epithelial cells and titanium alloy and thus may be predictive of long-term implant stability.

Abstract
Variations of titanium oxide films induced by osteoblast-like cells in a rat calvaria culture system and the influence of an H2O2 pretreatment have been investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. For abraded titanium, the results revealed that phosphate and calcium ions may incorporate into the surface oxide film during the cell culture, forming a precipitate with a Ca/P ratio near that of hydroxyapatite. Oxidized carbon also was found in the surface layer, most likely precipitated hydroxylcarbonated apatite (HCA). The H2O2 pretreatment of titanium in a phosphate-buffered saline solution results in a 10-fold thickened porous oxide film and large amounts of surface hydroxyl groups as well as a certain amount of phosphate ions inside the oxide film. During the cell culture, the H2O2-treated titanium surface favors the ion incorporation and precipitation of the HCA-like compound, which probably is inlaid into the oxide film. Osteoblast-like cells on the H2O2-treated titanium showed a more active morphology during the initial stage compared with cells on abraded titanium. Moreover, bone-like nodule formation and mineralization appear to be related to the precipitation of the HCA-like compound on the surface. The results are discussed with respect to corrosion resistance, ion incorporation and precipitation of the HCA-like compound on the surface, osseointegration, and bioactivity of titanium implants.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys, like the majority of metallic implant materials, release passive metal dissolution products. This raises the issues of amount and fate, i.e. transport, storage, and/or excretion of these metal dissolution products. In this paper we document titanium levels in tissues local to a commercially pure titanium implant in the absence of wear; compare these values to control tissues; and determine the relative contribution of the local accumulation to total release. Titanium fiber felts were implanted into the tibia of rabbits for periods up to 1 year. Bone and muscle tissue samples near the implant were collected. Using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry the samples were analyzed for titanium content. Compared to controls, titanium levels in the bone near the implant were elevated at 1-, 4-, and 12-month postoperative time points. The 12-month time point had higher periprosthetic bone titanium levels than both the 1- and the 4-month implant groups. Titanium levels in muscle tissue near the felt also indicated release was occurring. The data support the hypothesis that metal species released from titanium implants in the absence of wear have a limited solubility. As a result, they tend to remain in an area local to the implant.

Abstract
Titanium granules were tested for their antibacterial effect on strains of Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, Actinomyces naeslundii, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Fusobacterium spp. and Prevotella intermedia in comparison with amalgam and two of its components, copper and tin. Glass beads were used as controls. The number of viable bacteria was estimated in samples exposed to the various materials for 1, 3, 6 and 24 h, respectively, and the viable counts were related to the baseline value. Titanium showed low antibacterial effect on the species tested. Copper and amalgam showed an expressed toxicity to all species and differed significantly from titanium and glass particles. Gram positive Streptococcus spp. and A. naeslundii showed a lower susceptibility to the metals than the Gram negative species. The antibacterial effect of copper and amalgam test particles on S. sanguis and P. intermedia was significantly decreased in the presence of serum. This study showed that some metals have a toxic effect in vitro on oral bacteria, a fact that may play a role in plaque formation when these materials are used for dental restorations. Titanium did not have a similar antibacterial effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It is desirable that the surfaces of surgical implants be uncontaminated by foreign materials to avoid untoward tissue reactions, and grit blasting is widely assumed to leave clean metal surfaces. SEM examination and X-ray microanalysis of a recovered 'pure' titanium implant casting that was associated with tissue breakdown revealed embedded particles of alumina. The casting had been cleaned of investment by blasting with alumina grit. METHODS A variety of treatments of cast titanium plates was used: (a) to establish that the observed aluminium was due to the blasting grit, and (b) to determine whether removal of investment could be achieved effectively by other means. SEM examination and X-ray microanalysis were used. RESULTS The detected aluminium was associated with embedded fragments identified as coming from the blasting grit. Acid-pickling and mechanical (rotary instrument) trimming produced minimally contaminated surfaces. CONCLUSIONS Whilst unproven, the presence of the alumina is viewed with great concern as a possible causative agent in the observed tissue breakdown and procedures avoiding alumina blasting are recommended as a precautionary measure.

Abstract
Passivation of Ti6Al4V and cpTi implants using methods based on the ASTM-F86 nitric acid protocol are used with the intention of reducing their surface reactivity, and consequently the corrosion potential, in the highly corrosive biologic milieu. The ASTM-F86 passivation protocol was originally developed for surgical implants made of stainless steel and chrome cobalt alloy. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to examine the effect of nitric acid passivation on the surface oxide layer of mill-annealed Ti6Al4V and cpTi, we have found that such treatment actually reduced the oxide thickness on the alloy while having no significant effect on the pure metal. These results correlated with observations obtained using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) to detect trace element release from solid, mill-annealed, Ti6Al4V and cpTi into serum-containing culture medium. We detected significantly greater levels of Ti, Al, and V in the presence of passivated compared to nonpassivated Ti6Al4V. In contrast, nitric acid passivation did not influence Ti release from mill-annealed cpTi. These results, derived from two mill-annealed Ti-based metals, would indicate that re-examination of ASTM-F86-based passivation protocols with respect to Ti6Al4V should be considered in view of the widespread use of this alloy for biomedical devices.

Abstract
Hip replacement stems manufactured from Ti6Al4V titanium alloy were surface treated in one of four ways and tested for dissolution resistance in bovine serum. Those stems treated thermally were found to have significantly lower metal ion release compared with those receiving standard commercial treatments. The improved dissolution behaviour is associated with a change in the surface oxide structure from mixed titanium oxides to a more stable rutile structure.

Abstract
Cell culture systems may be of value in testing the biocompatibility of prosthetic materials before they are introduced into clinical use. In recent years, in vitro methods for assaying biomaterials have gained in importance owing to the growing concern over the use of animals for biomaterials testing. Significant effort is therefore being focused toward developing predictive and quantitative, but also simple and reliable, methods of testing using cultured cells. At present, a number of methods for measuring both the cytotoxicity and the specific cytocompatibility of different materials are available. The usefulness of these systems is no longer confined to screening new materials; they can be used to study the mechanisms of action of various materials during tissue/material interaction. This paper reviews the published literature on the use of cell culture models in evaluating biocompatibility and reports on the personal experience of the authors, who have been using cell culture systems for many years and for different purposes.

Abstract
The wear of joint prostheses generates wear particles that produce an inflammatory response in the surrounding tissues and may contribute to bone resorption resulting in prosthetic loosening. Although the effects of particles produced from prosthetic materials have been studied extensively in vitro and in vivo, little attention has been paid to the standardisation of methods for the generation and characterization of these particles. This paper describes a reproducible method for generation of metal particles by the abrasive shaking of joint replacement components. Particular attention was given to the production of metal particles that closely resembled particles found around solid and loose human prostheses. To achieve this, particle size, size distribution, chemical composition, and shape were characterized. Particles that were 0.5-3.0 microns in diameter were isolated by differential sedimentation, and the distribution of particle sizes was determined with use of a Coulter Multisizer. Chemical composition was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize particle shape. The techniques were shown to be reproducible, since there was little variation between batches over a lengthy time period. These or similar methods of particle production and characterization should be an essential part of future in vitro and in vivo studies of wear particles.

Abstract
The present study was conducted on biopsies from soft tissues overlying titanium miniplates that were used for the treatment of jaw fractures. The aim was to investigate the morphology of liberated titanium particles and cellular or ultrastructural changes in tissues adjacent to the miniplates. Conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) images were used for ultrastructural investigation and identification of metal-dense particles. The presence of titanium was proved by an increase in the intensity of element-specific, inelastically scattered electrons from the primary beam. The results showed that 5-8 months after insertion of the plates and screws, there was weak cellular activity within the scar tissue overlying the plates without inflammatory cells. Most of the titanium particles were located extracellularly. The ultrastructural appearance of most of these particles suggested that titanium may be shaved off the plates or screws and may undergo cellular uptake and lysosomal degradation. The partially degraded titanium particles are then left in place after the phagocytic cells have been isolated by collagenous fibers and have finally perished.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare in vitro the corrosion rate of a standard orthodontic appliance consisting of bands, brackets and either stainless steel or nickel-titanium arch wires. The corrosion products analyzed were nickel and chromium. Evaluation was conducted with the appliances immersed for 4 weeks in a prepared artificial saliva medium at 37 degrees C. Ten identical sets were used, each simulating a complete orthodontic appliance used on a maxillary arch with a full complement of teeth. Five sets were ligated to stainless steel arch wires, and the other five sets were ligated to nickel-titanium arch wires. Nickel and chromium release was quantified with the use of a flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The analysis of variance was used to determine if differences existed between the nickel and chromium release according to arch wire type, as well as with time (days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28). The results indicate that (1) orthodontic appliances release measurable amounts of nickel and chromium when placed in an artificial saliva medium. (2) The nickel release reaches a maximum after approximately 1 week, then the rate of release diminishes with time. On the other hand, chromium release increases during the first 2 weeks and levels off during the subsequent 2 weeks. (3) The release rates of nickel or chromium from stainless steel and nickel-titanium arch wires are not significantly different. (4) For both arch wire types, the release for nickel averaged 37 times greater than that for chromium. How much of these corrosive products are actually absorbed by patients still needs to be determined.

Abstract
Hamsters were injected with titanium, aluminum, and vanadium salts either intraperitoneally or intramuscularly to study the transport, storage, and elimination of these metals. Blood samples were taken at 4 h or 24 h, and urine samples were taken at 24, 48, and 72 h. The hamsters were then injected weekly for 5 weeks after the initial injection. Blood and portions of the kidneys, liver, lung, and spleen were taken at sacrifice. All samples were analyzed for titanium, aluminum, and vanadium concentrations using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS). Titanium was found not to be excreted in the urine, was found in low levels in the blood, and was elevated over control in the kidney, liver, and spleen. Aluminum detection via GFAAS showed wide standard deviations and high levels in controls; however, aluminum was found to be excreted in the urine, and to be transported by the blood in the experimental animals. A small amount accumulated in the liver and spleen. Vanadium was excreted in high levels in the urine. A small amount was found in the blood, and the level in the organs was below the reliable detection limits. The rapid excretion of vanadium might be related to its solubility in physiological conditions, while the limited excretion of titanium may be related to its being insoluble in the physiologic environment.

Abstract
The surface chemistry, oxidation, and disolution kinetics of titanium were measured to establish the mechanisms of passive dissolution in physiological environments. Titanium thin films were immersed in 8.0 mM ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid in simulated interstitial electrolyte (EDTA/SIE) and maintained at 37 degrees C, 10% O2, 5% CO2 and 7.2 pH for periods of time up to 3200 h (133 days). Two immersion schemes were employed: the integral sequentially determined the titanium released into a solution of accumulated dissolution products; and the differential continuously replenished the test solution. The solutions were analyzed for titanium by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (EAAS), and the sample surfaces were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine oxide composition, stoichiometry, and thickness. Prior to immersion two types of hydroxyl (OH) groups were distinguished on the TiO2 surface. Upon immersion, the chemistry of the surface changed as a function of immersion: the presence of OH groups increased and P (nonelemental) was detected at the surface. The dissolution kinetics obeyed a two-phase logarithmic model, where the transition between phases occurred simultaneously with the adsorption of the P-containing species. The dissolution kinetics depended on surface reactions, electric field strength, and molecular diffusion. These mechanisms explain the observed dependence of dissolution kinetics on the properties of the surface oxide and solution ligands.

Abstract
The possible mechanism of minimization of prosthesis-derived bone growth inhibitors by shielding of the metal and the reduction, if not elimination, of the associated metal dissolution was investigated. Titanium, aluminium and vanadium release rates were determined in vitro for Ti alloy specimens both with and without a calcium phosphate coating. Ti orderly oriented wire mesh (OOWM) porous coatings on Ti-6Al-4V substrates were used as the metal specimens. Half of the specimens were coated with a 75 microns calcium phosphate ceramic (CPC coating). Seven reference (OOWM) and seven coated (OOWM-CPC) specimens were immersed and placed along with seven control solutions for various periods in an incubator maintained at 37 degrees C and 5% CO2 - air atmosphere. Whereas the reference solutions showed a Ti release increasing as a function of time, the solutions that had the CPC-coated specimens contained no measurable amounts of titanium. The Al in solution around the CPC-coated specimens was significantly greater than the concentration around non-coated specimens. The Al, however, did not increase significantly with time, at least up to 4 wk immersion. The ceramic coating had a small beneficial effect on V concentration. In the absence of a significant adverse effect of Ti on local bone tissue formation, we focus on the Al data of our study. The possible adverse effect of this element is well documented. The calcium phosphate coating produced a significant increase of biological fixation, yet at the same time a greater Al release into solution, calling into question the significance of CPC coating in shielding adverse metal passive dissolution to explain enhanced bone growth [corrected].
