 Implant properties (cont.)
Osteoconductivity:

The ability of a material to allow bone growth on its surface.

(Albrektsson and Johansson, 2001)

PEEK: Poly (ether ether keton)

Non-Osteoconductive Osteoconductive
surface surface
(Shimizu et. al., 2016)
 Implant properties (cont.)
Osseointegration:

Direct contact between living bone and implant.

(Albrektsson et al. 1981)

 Osteoconductive Implant Products

Titanium and its alloy

TiO2 Osteoconductive
Ti Non-osteoconductive

Note: Osteoconductivity of pure Ti/its alloy is low

 Conclusion
• Osteoconductivity is prerequisite for osseointegration.
• Titanium and its alloy is the most popular dental
implants.
• Several methods are available to make osteoconductive
implant.
 Homework
• Find other materials suitable for dental
implant and discuss why?

• Find and discuss other method to

make/improve osteoconductivity of dental
implant.

• Find and read this paper: Eur Spine J (2001) 10

:S96–S101will be discussed next class.
