| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Iodine-coated implants significantly inhibited colonization of the staphylococcus aureus. Biocompatibility of osteoblasts on instruments made by stainless steel, titanium, iodine coated titanium were evaluated. Stainless steel inhibited adhesion of osteoblast on the instruments. On the other hand, there is no significant difference among titanium, titanium with oxidation film, iodine-coated implants. More than 50% of iodine was detected in the implants four weeks after implantation in rabbits. Our results suggest that iodine-coated implants has antibacterial effects without toxicity to normal bone tissues.
