Abstract
There is an increasing demand for bone graft procedures to create sufficient bone volume for implant fixture placement. Among various techniques, block bone grafting is considered a favorable option for both horizontal and vertical augmentation. To meet the required physical and biological characteristics, a novel hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium dioxide (TiO2) core block bone was developed in this study. The coating layer was designed with an HA concentration gradient to achieve superior compressive strength and wear resistance. The concentration gradient was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersed X-ray spectroscopy, and coating stability was demonstrated through scratch testing. Furthermore, alizarin red S staining revealed that the HA gradient layer retained bone formation compared to a single-layer HA coating. Taken together, the developed doubled-layered HA gradient TiO2 block bone shows strong potential as a substitute for conventional block bone grafts.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials Journal is a peer review journal published by the Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devises aiming to introduce the progress of the basic and applied sciences in dental materials and biomaterials. The dental materials-related clinical science and instrumental technologies are also within the scope of this journal. The materials dealt include synthetic polymers, ceramics, metals and tissue-derived biomaterials. Forefront dental materials and biomaterials used in developing filed, such as tissue engineering, bioengineering and artificial intelligence, are positively considered for the review as well. Recent acceptance rate of the submitted manuscript in the journal is around 30%.
