- Objective: Hydroxyapatite or titania nano structures were applied on smooth titanium implant cylinders. The aim was to investigate whether nano HA may result in enhanced osseointegration compared to nano titania structures. Material and Methods: Surface topography evaluation included detailed characterization of nano size structures present at the implant surface combined with surface roughness parameters at the micro- and nano- meter level of resolution. Microstructures were removed from the surface to ensure that bone response observed was dependent only on the nanotopography and/or chemistry of the surface. Early in vivo bone response (4 weeks) evaluation was investigated in a rabbit model. Results: In the present study, nano titania coated implants showed an increased coverage area and feature density, forming a homogenous layer compared to nano HA implants. Bone response observed at 4 weeks could not be explained by the surface chemistry. New formed bone connected to the original cortical bone demonstrated an increase of 24% for the nano titania compared to the nano HA implant, although the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Thus, no evidence of enhanced bone formation to nano hydroxyapatite modified implants was observed compared to nano titania modified implants. The presence of specific nano structures; dependent on the surface modification exhibiting different size and distribution did modulate in vivo bone response.

- This study aimed at investigating if a coating of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals would enhance bone healing over time in trabecular bone. Sandblasted and acid etched titanium implants with and without a submicron thick coat of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (nano-HA) were implanted in rabbit femur with healing times of 2, 4, and 9 weeks. Removal torque analyses and histological evaluations were performed. The torque analysis did not show any significant differences between the implants at any healing time. The control implant showed a tendency of more newly formed bone after 4 weeks of healing and significantly higher bone area values after 9 weeks of healing. According to the results from this present study, both control and nano-HA surfaces were biocompatible and osteoconductive. A submicron thick coating of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals deposited onto blasted and acid etched screw shaped titanium implants did not enhance bone healing, as compared to blasted and etched control implants when placed in trabecular bone.

- The knowledge of how nanostructures might affect early bone healing and osseointegration is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate if nanometer thick coatings of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals applied on a moderately rough surface might enhance early bone healing on screw-shaped dental implants and to evaluate if the thickness of the coat influences healing. Sandblasted and acid etched titanium implants coated with two different thicknesses of hydroxyapatite (test implants) and sandblasted and acid etched titanium implants (control implants), were inserted in rabbit tibia. After a healing time of 2, 4 and 9 weeks, a removal torque analysis and a histological evaluation were performed. The results from the removal torque analysis showed a tendency for higher values for the double coated hydroxyapatite after 4 weeks and for both the coated surfaces after 9 weeks of healing. The histological evaluations indicated slightly more new bone formation with the coated implants compared with the control; the differences did not reach statistical significance. The present study could not support the importance of nanometer thick coatings of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals in early bone healing, at least not when applied on a blasted and etched surface and placed in a cortical bone.
