The BCC material was used in a bilateral sinus floor augmentation procedure and demonstrated a negative surface charge (negative Zeta potential) which was found to be favorable for bone regeneration and osseointegration of dental implants.
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the osteogenic potential of a biphasic calcium composite material (BCC) with a negative surface charge for maxillary sinus floor augmentation. In a 61 year old patient, the BCC material was used in a bilateral sinus floor augmentation procedure. Six months postoperative, a bone sample was taken from the augmented regions before two titanium implants were inserted at each side. We analyzed bone neoformation by histology, bone density by computed tomography, and measured the activity of voltage-activated calcium currents of osteoblasts and surface charge effects. Control orthopantomograms were carried out five months after implant insertion. The BCC was biocompatible and replaced by new mineralized bone after being resorbed completely. The material demonstrated a negative surface charge (negative Zeta potential) which was found to be favorable for bone regeneration and osseointegration of dental implants.

Adhesion of osteoblasts to a nanorough titanium implant surface

TL;DR: It is suggested that osteoblasts are most strongly bound along the sharp convex edges or spikes of nanorough titanium surfaces where the magnitude of the negative surface charge density is the highest and it is plausible that nanorough regions of titanium surfaces with sharp edges and spikes promote the adhesion of osteoblast.

Dynamic Light Scattering Based Microelectrophoresis: Main Prospects and Limitations

TL;DR: It is argued that although zeta potential has been used as one of the main parameters in controlling the stability of colloidal dispersions, its application potentials are much broader and coupling the DLS-based microelectrophoretic systems with complementary characterization methods is mentioned asone of the prosperous paths for increasing the information output of these two analytical techniques.

Osteoinduction, osteoconduction and osseointegration.

TL;DR: Osseointegration is the stable anchorage of an implant achieved by direct bone-to-implant contact in craniofacial implantology and this mode of anchorage is the only one for which high success rates have been reported.

Maxillary and sinus implant reconstructions.

TL;DR: The root and sinus series of the Omnii system have been used extensively and their design attempts to maximize the use of the available bone, and placement techniques allow the manipulation of bone to form sockets in otherwise deficient areas of bone.

Porous hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate cylinders with two different pore size ranges implanted in the cancellous bone of rabbits: a comparative histomorphometric and histologic study of bony ingrowth and implant substitution

TL;DR: To investigate the histophysiology of implant degradation, hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate cylinders with a diameter of 3 mm were implanted in the cancellous bone of the distal femur and the proximal tibia of 15 New Zealand White rabbits for up to six months and acid phosphatase-positive osteoclast-like cells suggesting active resorption adhere directly to the surface.
