Unsuccessful implant integration leads to pain and implant mobility. Implant photo-functionalization by ultraviolet (UV) light has been suggested as a method that may stimulate osseointegration.
This study was conducted to analyze the histopathological feature of the titanium implant surface upon treatment with UV-C wave.
In this interventional study, twenty rabbits were enrolled. In the treatment groups, the titanium implants, irradiated earlier with UV-C for four hours laterally, were inserted in one of the femur bones. In the control group, the titanium implants without irradiation were inserted in the other femur bone of the rabbits. After two and four weeks, the animals were sacrificed, and then the samples were histologically and histo-morphometrically analyzed. In addition, the amounts of new bone formation, bleeding, and inflammation were recorded, and the data were subjected to statistical analysis.
The results confirmed that UV-C irradiation to titanium implants significantly improved new bone formation (p< 0.001). However, no significant new bone formation was observed between two and four weeks after implant insertion (p< 0.098).
The study results showed that irradiating titanium implants with UV-C for four hours significantly improves osseointegration and new bone formation but does not considerably affect inflammation or bleeding around the implant. The study suggests that UV-C radiation can increase the success rate of implant treatment.
种植体整合失败会导致疼痛和种植体松动。紫外线(UV)光对种植体进行光功能化处理被认为是一种可能刺激骨整合的方法。
本研究旨在分析经紫外线C波处理后钛种植体表面的组织病理学特征。
在这项干预性研究中,纳入了20只兔子。在治疗组中,将预先经紫外线C横向照射4小时的钛种植体植入兔子的一侧股骨。在对照组中,将未照射的钛种植体植入兔子的另一侧股骨。在2周和4周后,处死动物,然后对样本进行组织学和组织形态计量学分析。此外,记录新骨形成、出血和炎症的量,并对数据进行统计分析。
结果证实,对钛种植体进行紫外线C照射可显著改善新骨形成(p<0.001)。然而,在种植体植入后2周和4周之间未观察到显著的新骨形成(p<0.098)。
研究结果表明,对钛种植体进行4小时的紫外线C照射可显著改善骨整合和新骨形成,但对种植体周围的炎症或出血影响不大。该研究表明,紫外线C辐射可提高种植治疗的成功率。
