RESEARCH Histologic and Biomechanical Evaluation of 2 ResorbableBlasting Media Implant Surfaces at Early Implantation Times Charles Marin, PhD1 Estevam A. Bonfante, PhD1* Ryan Jeong, PhD2 Rodrigo Granato, PhD1 Gabriela Giro, PhD3 Marcelo Suzuki, DDS4 Claiton Heitz, PhD5 Paulo G. Coelho, PhD2,6 This study evaluated 3 implant surfaces in a dog model: (1) resorbable-blasting media þ acid-etched (RBMa), alumina-blasting þ acid-etching (AB/AE), and AB/AE þ RBMa (hybrid). All of the surfaces were minimally rough, and Ca and P were present for the RBMa and hybrid surfaces. Following 2 weeks in vivo, no significant differences were observed for torque, bone-to-implant contact, and bone-area fraction occupied measurements. Newly formed woven bone was observed in proximity with all surfaces. Key Words: implant surface, in vivo, torque, histology, osseointegration, resorbable-blasting media INTRODUCTION T he contact between bone and endosseous implants is usually well established and maintained after implant placement, resulting in a success rate often exceeding 90% over 10 years.1,2 Past investigations have shown that surface modification methods have been successful in increasing the host response to the implants, resulting in better 1 Postgraduate Program in Dentistry, UNIGRANRIO University, School of Health Sciences, Duque de Caxias, RJ, Brazil. 2 Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics, New York University, New York, NY. 3 Department of Oral Surgery and Diagnosis, Faculdade de Odontologia de Araraquara, UNESP, Araraquara, SP, Brazil. 4 Department of Prosthodontics, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Mass. 5 Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio Grande Do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. 6 Department of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, New York University College of Dentistry, New York, NY. * Corresponding author, e-mail: estevamab@gmail.com DOI: 10.1563/AAID-JOI-D-10-00156 long-term bone morphology as well as the initial interaction between the host and the implant.3 As a result, surface modifications in texture and chemistry such as increasing the roughness and the addition of calcium- and phosphorus-based bioceramic coatings are among the most investigated aspects of the implant studies.3–6 In previous studies, surface texture modification has proven to be effective in increasing the host response in in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo studies.7 More bone-to-implant interaction has been shown in surfaces with increased roughness as compared with as-machined or smooth surfaces (Sa , 0.5 lm). The best osseointegration measurable by bone-toimplant contact (BIC) has been shown in the moderately rough surfaces (Sa between 1 and 2 lm).3–6 Surface roughness can be achieved in a variety of ways, including acid etching, anodization, and grit blasting with nonresorbable media such as alumina, silica, or titanium oxides or with resorbable-blasting media (RBM) such as hydroxyapatite, Journal of Oral Implantology 445
