| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One disadvantage of titanium implants effective for reconstruction of dental / maxillofacial defects is that they do not adhere to the connective tissue layer of the gingival tissue and skin. The purpose of this study is to develop titanium implants adhering to connective tissue by forming nano-topography on titanium surface using alkali-heat treatment.
Titanium surface subjected to alkali-heat treatment under specified conditions exhibited nano-topography characterized by numerous nano-pores and dense nano-spikes. The nano-titanium surface increased the amount of collagen production from rat gingival and human dermal fibroblasts and the adhesion strength of extracellular matrix. In the rabbit maxilla model, it was demonstrated that the nano-titanium surface implant encapsulated the end of gingival fiber within the surface and acquired periodontal-like like connective tissue attachment.
