- Abstract
Pure titanium is widely used as a material in dental implants. However, it possesses inferior mechanical strength. This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of acid treated multi-directionally forged (MDF) pure titanium in vivo. We verified the temporal changes until osseointegration in beagle dogs. Using two types of experimental materials (conventional pure titanium or MDF pure titanium), new bone formation was assessed using morphological examinations, and the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) value was evaluated at each time point (14, 30, and 90 days after the operation). As such, new bone formation was observed around the acid-etched MDF group, in which the BIC value was highest, followed by that in the acid-etched pure titanium group. MDF pure titanium implants showed early promotion of new bone formation compared to conventional titanium implants. The new acid-treated MDF made of pure titanium could be applied to humans in the future to prove its practicality.
