TLDR
N nanostructured surfaces produced using aluminum oxide significantly enhanced the hMSC gene expression representative of osteoblast differentiation, suggesting nanoscale features on Ti implant substrates may improve the osseointegration response by altering adherent cell response.

The effects of combined micron-/submicron-scale surface roughness and nanoscale features on cell proliferation and differentiation

TL;DR: The results suggested that the introduction of such nanoscale structures in combination with micro-/submicro-scale roughness improves osteoblast differentiation and local factor production, which indicates the potential for improved implant osseointegration in vivo.

Classification of osseointegrated implant surfaces: materials, chemistry and topography

TL;DR: A standardized classification system will allow to clarify unambiguously the identity of any given osseointegrated surface and help to identify the biological outcomes of each surface characteristic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface characteristics of dental implants: A review.

TL;DR: Different height, spatial, hybrid and functional roughness parameters have been identified as possible candidates able to predict the outcome at hard and soft tissue interfaces and hydrophilic implants have been proven to improve the initial blood contact, to support the wound healing and thereby accelerating the osseointegration.

Implant osseointegration and the role of microroughness and nanostructures: Lessons for spine implants

TL;DR: The findings revealed that surface properties such as microroughness and nanostructures can directly affect early cell behavior and long-term osseointegration of implants.

Osteogenic differentiation of purified, culture‐expanded human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro

TL;DR: In this paper, a reproducible system for the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was presented. But the authors did not consider the effect of changes in the microenvironment upon the process.
Journal ArticleDOI

The control of human mesenchymal cell differentiation using nanoscale symmetry and disorder

TL;DR: The use of nanoscale disorder is demonstrated to stimulate human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to produce bone mineral in vitro, in the absence of osteogenic supplements, which has implications for cell therapies.

Surface treatments of titanium dental implants for rapid osseointegration

TL;DR: The local release of bone stimulating or resorptive drugs in the peri-implant region may also respond to difficult clinical situations with poor bone quality and quantity, which should ultimately enhance the osseointegration process of dental implants for their immediate loading and long-term success.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of surface characteristics on bone integration of titanium implants. A histomorphometric study in miniature pigs.

TL;DR: The extent of bone-implant interface is positively correlated with an increasing roughness of the implant surface, and hydroxylapatite (HA)-coated implants with 60-70% showed signs of resorption.

Enhanced functions of osteoblasts on nanophase ceramics

TL;DR: The results of the present study provided the first evidence of enhanced long-term (on the order of days to weeks) functions of osteoblasts cultured on nanophase ceramics, and clearly represent a unique and promising class of orthopaedic/dental implant formulations with improved osseointegrative properties.
