Abstract

The methods of surface modification of commercial implants were various according to the manufacturer. Surface modification of implant may produce diverse physical and chemical surface characteristics resulted from the treatment method and treatment condition. As a result, the bone response might be different. Even though surface modified implants have been used clinically, most researches are focusing on the bone response of surface modified implants comparing to machined implants rather than surface modified commercial implants. This study compare and analyze bone responses of 4 surface modified commercial implants with different shapes and surfaces. Eighty surface modified commercial implants with 4 different surface characteristics were installed in the tibia of white Newzealand rabbits. Biomechanical stability tests and histomorphometric evaluation were done. The results were as follows: 1. Surface modified commercial implants showed stable osseointegration at 6 weeks after installation. 2. Histomorphometric evaluation showed that there was no significant differences in bone to implant contact among 4 different commercial titanium implants. In comparing the implants with different shape the measurement of bone growth in subcortical area would be more reliable than entire bone to implant contact length. 3. Resonance Frequency Analysis showed that there was no significant differences among 4 types of implants, even though they were significantly different in installation. 4. There was significant differences in interfacial shear strength among 4 type of implants. 5. It is difficult to observe accurate bone to implant interface using Micro-CT. However, it is possible to measure the entire contact length of the implant to the bone.

상용 임플란트의 표면을 개질하기 위해 물리적, 화학적 방법을 이용한 새로운 표면이 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 골반응도 다를 것으로 예상할 수 있지만 대부분의 연구는 단순히 기계절삭형 임플란트와의 비교만을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 4종의 다른 개질된 표면을 가진 상용 임플란트를 가토의 경골에 식립한 후 생역학적, 조직형태학적으로 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 모든 임플란트는 6주 후 안정적인 골유착을 이루고 있었으며 4종의 표면개질의 차이에 의한 공진주파수 및 조직형태학적 골반응의 차이는 없었으며 표면개질을 비교하기 위해 피질골 하방으로 증식한 골을 비교하는 것이 유용하였다. 생역학적, 조직형태학적 골반응에 비해 미세단층촬영(micro-CT)를 이용하는 비교법은 유용성과 정확도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
