The study investigated the bone formation and adhesion ability of a titanium dental implant treated with plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in electrolytes containing bioactive ions. Results showed that PEO-treated implants led to the formation of more periphery bone compared to sand-blasted implants when placed in rabbit tibia.
The present study examined the in vitro and in vivo bone formation and adhesion ability on the surface of a titanium dental implant made by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in electrolytes containing bioactive ions. To achieve this goal, screw-shaped fabricated Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants were processed via PEO using an electrolyte solution containing calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), strontium (Sr), silicon (Si), and manganese (Mn) species. The screw implants doped with bioactive elements via PEO were placed in rabbit tibia, and the results were compared to the sand-blasted Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants. At eight-week post-surgery, there was no significant difference in the values of removal torque between sand-blasted and PEO-treated implants. However, it was observed that the PEO treatment of dental implants led to the formation of more periphery bone as compared to the case of sand-blasted implants. Accordingly, the PEO-treated implants have the potential to be used as promising materials for dental applications.
