RESUMO
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The buccal bone in an edentulous maxilla loses thickness over time because of physiological changes. However, the dimensional changes of the buccal bone in an edentulous maxilla with an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis are unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the dimensional changes of the buccal bone in edentulous maxillae with complete arch telescopic-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (CTI-FDPs) after 6 years by using a professional retrieval system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study included 17 participants with edentulous maxillae who had been provided with CTI-FDP with 121 taper joint implants. A three-dimensional radiographic analysis by using CBCT was performed at implant insertion (0 years) and after 6 years. Vertical and horizontal bone measurement values were evaluated. During horizontal bone thickness measurement, 4 different levels, 0, 2, 4, and 6 mm apical to the implant shoulder, were evaluated as bone value (BV)0mm, BV2mm, BV4mm, and BV6mm, respectively. The BVs were compared with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Kruskal-Wallis test (α=.05). In addition, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to identify 0yBV factors that influence the 6yBVs. A nonlinear regression analysis was used to clarify the slopes of 0yBVs and 6yBV0mm. RESULTS: Significant decreases in vertical and horizontal BVs were found between 0 years and 6 years (P<.05). However, no significant difference was observed in bone loss at 6 years at any of the vertical and horizontal measurement points (P≥.05). When 0yBVs related to 6yBV0mm were analyzed, 0yBV0mm and 0yBV2mm showed strong correlations with 6yBV0mm (|r|≥.7). In the regression analysis, a 0yBV0mm of 0.58 mm and 0yBV2mm of 0.78 mm could be critical factors associated with a 6yBV0mm of 0 mm. A 6yBV0mm of 0yBV0mm more than 0.58 mm was significantly higher than a 6yBV0mm of 0yBV0mm less than 0.58 mm (P<.001). Moreover, a 6yBV0mm of 0yBV2mm more than 0.78 mm was significantly higher than a 6yBV0mm of 0yBV2mm less than 0.78 mm (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: The buccal bone in an edentulous maxilla with fixed implant-supported prostheses lost significant vertical and horizontal bone thicknesses after 6 years. At implant insertion, both a 0.58-mm buccal bone on the platform and a 0.78-mm buccal bone at 2 mm apical to the implant shoulder are necessary for longer term maintenance of bone on the platform of implants specifically supporting CTI-FDPs.

This report describes long-term implant treatment in a patient with chronic periodontitis. The patient was a 59-year-old man who attended our facility requesting a dental implant. An initial examination revealed generalized gingival inflammation and subgingival calculus. Clinical examination revealed 55.3% of sites with a probing depth (PD) of >4 mm and 41.3% of sites with bleeding on probing. Radiographic examination revealed vertical bone resorption in #23, #33, #33, #35, and #47. Initial periodontal therapy consisting of plaque control, scaling and root planing, and tooth extraction was subsequently performed based on a clinical diagnosis of severe chronic periodontitis. Open flap debridement was performed for teeth with a PD >5 mm (#21, #22, #23, 333, #34, #35 and #47). After confirming the stability of the periodontal tissue, 3 implants were first placed in the maxilla (#25, #26, and #27). Final prostheses comprising a screw retaining-type implant superstructure were then placed (#25, #26, and 327). Following reevaluation, the patient was placed on supportive periodontal therapy. At 15 years after the first visit, the periodontal and implant conditions have remained stable. These results indicate that periodontal treatment before implantation and subsequent maintenance yield a clinically favorable and long-lasting outcome.

Here, we report a case of dental implant treatment involving computer-assisted surgery for bilateral agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors. The patient was a 39-year-old woman with the chief complaint of functional and esthetic disturbance due to maxillary and mandibular malocclusion. The treatment plan comprised non-extraction comprehensive orthodontic treatment and prosthodontic treatment for space due to the absence of bilateral maxillary lateral incisors. A preliminary examination revealed that the mesiodistal spaces left by the absent bilateral maxillary lateral incisors were too narrow for implant placement (right, 5.49 mm; left, 5.51 mm). Additional orthodontic treatment increased these spaces to approximately 6 mm, the minimum required for implant placement if risk of damage to the adjacent teeth due to inaccuracies in directionality of drilling is to be avoided. For dental implant treatment with computer-assisted surgery, preoperative planning/simulation was performed using Simplant® ver.12 software and a toothsupported surgical template fabricated using stereolithography. Two narrow-diameter implants were placed in a two-stage procedure. It was confirmed that there was sufficient distance between the implant fixtures and the roots of the adjacent teeth, together with no exposure of alveolar bone. Following a 4-month non-loading period, second-stage surgery and provisional restoration with a temporary screw-retained implant crown were performed. Cement-retained superstructures made of customized zirconia abutment and a zirconia-bonded ceramic crown were fitted as the final restoration. At 5 years after implant surgery, there were no complications, including inflammation of the peri-implant soft tissue and resorption of peri-implant bone. Computer-assisted implant surgery is useful in avoiding complications in bilateral agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors when only a narrow mesiodistal space is available for implant placement.

OBJECTIVES: The peri-implant epithelium (PIE) plays an important role in the prevention against initial stage of inflammation. To minimize the risk of peri-implantitis, it is necessary to understand the biological characteristics of the PIE. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic gene expression profile of PIE as compared to junctional epithelium (JE) using laser microdissection and microarray analysis. METHODS: Left upper first molars of 4-week-old rat were extracted, and titanium alloy implants were placed. Four weeks after surgery, samples were harvested by laser microdissection, and total RNA samples were isolated. Comprehensive analyses of genes expressed in the JE and PIE were performed using microarray analysis. Confirmation of the differential expression of selected genes was performed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The microarray analysis showed that 712 genes were more than twofold change upregulated in the PIE compared with the JE. Genes Scgb1a1 were significantly upregulated more than 19.1-fold, Lpo more than 19.0-fold, and Gbp2 more than 8.9-fold, in the PIE (P < 0.01). Immunohistochemical localization of SCGB1A1, LPO, and GBP2 was observed in PIE. CONCLUSION: The present results suggested that genes Scgb1a1, Lpo, and Gbp2 are characteristically expressed in the PIE.

OBJECTIVE: Periodontal pathogens in dental plaque are the main causative agents of periodontitis and peri-implantitis. Detection of the presence of such periodontal pathogens early would serve as a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the periodontal pathogen levels in saliva were correlated with the periodontal status of patients receiving implant treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 291 patients visiting Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital were divided into four groups: a no-periodontitis (np) group, a mild-periodontitis (mip) group, a moderate-periodontitis (mop) group, and a severe-periodontitis (sp) group. The levels of the following five periodontal pathogens in saliva were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and Prevotella intermedia. RESULTS: The levels of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia were significantly higher in mop group than in np group (P < 0.05). The levels of all periodontal pathogens tested except A. actinomycetemcomitans were significantly higher in sp group than in np group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The detection levels of the periodontal pathogens targeted in saliva samples were correlated with the periodontal status. This suggests that using saliva to screen for periodontopathic bacteria offers an easier-to-use clinical tool than the paper point method in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small integral membrane proteins made up of 6 hydrophobic, a-helical, membrane-spanning domains surrounding a highly selective aqueous pore. AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9, termed aqua-glyceroporins, are known to be involved in the transport of water, glycerol, and other small molecules. In this study, we investigated the expression and localization of aqua-glyceroporins in rat oral stratified squamous epithelia of the palate, the buccal mucosa, the inferior aspect of the tongue, and the oral floor by using RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and immunogold electron microscopy. AQP3 and AQP9 mRNAs were expressed in whole oral epithelium. Immunostaining for AQP3 was recognized in each type of epithelium. The results suggest that AQP3 synthesis begins predominantly in the cytoplasm of the basal cells. During the process of epithelial cell differentiation, AQP3 protein appears to accumulate and be transported to the plasma membrane, from where it is incorporated into the cornified or surface layers. The intracellular localization of AQP3 appears to correlate with the differentiation of keratinocytes, suggesting that it acts as an enhancer of the physiological permeability barrier together with membrane coating granules. The distribution pattern of AQP9 was limited to the marginal areas of the basal and suprabasal layers, which was different from that of AQP3. This difference in distribution between AQP3 and AQP9 suggests that AQP9 in rat oral epithelia acts as a channel by facilitating glycerol uptake from the blood through the endothelial cells of the capillary vessels to the oral stratified squamous epithelium. AQP3 and AQP9 facilitate both transcellular osmotic water flow and glycerol transport as pore-like passive transporters in the keratinocytes of oral epithelia, and may play a key role in not only hydration and the permeability barrier, but also cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, development, and wound healing by generating ATP.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to clarify the effects of surface modification of titanium (Ti) implants by low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on wound healing and cell attachment for biological sealing in peri-implant soft tissue. METHODS: Hydrophilization to a Ti disk using a handheld low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma device was evaluated by a contact angle test and compared with an untreated group. In in vivo experiments, plasma-treated pure Ti implants using a handheld plasma device (experimental group: PL) and untreated implants (control group: Cont) were placed into the rat upper molar socket, and samples were harvested at 3, 7 and 14 days after surgery. Histological evaluation was performed to assess biological sealing, collagen- and cell adhesion-related gene expression by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, collagen fiber detection by Picrosirius Red staining, and immunohistochemistry for integrins. RESULTS: In in vivo experiments, increased width of the peri-implant connective tissue (PICT) and suppression of epithelial down growth was observed in PL compared with Cont. In addition, high gene expression of types I and XII collagen at 7 days and acceleration of collagen maturation was recognized in PL. Strong immunoreaction of integrin α2, α5, and ß1 was observed at the implant contact area of PICT in PL. CONCLUSIONS: The handheld low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma device provided hydrophilicity on the Ti surface and maintained the width of the contact area of PICT to the implant surface as a result of accelerated collagen maturation and fibroblast adhesion, compared to no plasma application.

PURPOSE: The objective of the present study was to ascertain the effect of immediate occlusal loading after implant placement on osseointegration and the micro/nanostructure of the surrounding bone. METHODS: After extraction of a rat maxillary right second molar, an implant was placed immediately with initial fixation (2 N< ). The implants were placed to avoid occlusal loading due to mastication, and in the loaded group, a superstructure was fabricated and subjected to occlusal loading. Bone morphometry, collagen fiber anisotropy, and biological apatite (BAp) crystallite alignment were quantitatively evaluated in both groups after extraction and fixation of the jaw bone at Days 7 and 21 after surgery. RESULTS: Osseointegration was observed in both groups. Bone morphometry showed significant differences in bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular thickness and bone mineral density (BMD) at Days 21 postoperatively (P < 0.05). A significant difference was also found in the trabecular separation at Days 7 postoperatively (P < 0.05). In the evaluation of collagen fiber anisotropy, collagen fiber bundles running differently from the existing bone were observed in both groups. In terms of BAp crystallite alignment, a specific structure was observed in the reconstructed new bone after implantation, and preferential orientation of BAp crystallite alignment was observed in the longitudinal direction of the implants in the Day 21 postoperative loaded group. CONCLUSION: When sufficient initial fixation is achieved at the time of dental implant placement, then the applied masticatory load may contribute to rapidly achieving not only bone volume, but also adequate bone quality after implant placement.

RESUMO
Titanium is a biocompatible material commonly used for dental treatments. However, the detailed mechanism underlying the weak biological activity of titanium has not been elucidated. We investigated both the inflammatory responses and T cell activation induced by solid titanium in the gingiva in mice. Both titanium and nickel wire implantation promoted neutrophil infiltration into the gingiva on day 2. Nickel, but not titanium, wire implantation enhanced proinflammatory cytokine expression and dendritic cell activity in gingival tissue by day 2. Nickel wire implantation enhanced the activity of T cells in draining lymph nodes on day 5. Moreover, T cell and neutrophil infiltration and elevated proinflammatory cytokine expression in the gingival tissue were still observed on day 5. However, no such augmented biological responses were observed after titanium wire implantation. These findings suggest that, unlike nickel, solid titanium does not induce sufficient inflammatory responses leading to T cell activation in gingival tissue.

The lineage of periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells contributes to alveolar bone (AB) and cementum formation, which are essential for tooth-jawbone attachment. Leptin receptor (LepR), a skeletal stem cell marker, is expressed in PDL; however, the stem cell capacity of LepR+ PDL cells remains unclear. We used a Cre/LoxP-based approach and detected LepR-cre-labeled cells in the perivascular around the root apex; their number increased with age. In the juvenile stage, LepR+ PDL cells differentiated into AB-embedded osteocytes rather than cementocytes, but their contribution to both increased with age. The frequency of LepR+ PDL cell-derived lineages in hard tissue was < 20% per total cells at 1-year-old. Similarly, LepR+ PDL cells differentiated into osteocytes following tooth extraction, but their frequency was < 9%. Additionally, both LepR+ and LepR- PDL cells demonstrated spheroid-forming capacity, which is an indicator of self-renewal. These results indicate that both LepR+ and LepR- PDL populations contributed to hard tissue formation. LepR- PDL cells increased the expression of LepR during spheroid formation, suggesting that the LepR- PDL cells may hierarchically sit upstream of LepR+ PDL cells. Collectively, the origin of hard tissue-forming cells in the PDL is heterogeneous, some of which express LepR.

Many of genes specifically expressed in peri-implant soft tissue (PIST) selected by microarray analysis are involved in the inflammatory response. This study investigated the gene expression and localization of PIST-specific inflammatory markers in PIST during wound healing. Pure titanium implants were implanted into the rat upper mandibular socket to create PIST. Samples were harvested from PIST as an experimental group, and tooth extracted area of oral mucosa tissue (OMT) and healthy periodontal tissue (PT) as control groups. The gene expressions of four standard inflammatory markers and nine PIST-specific inflammatory markers including chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2) during wound healing were examined. Immunoreactions of CXCL2 and immune cells in PIST and control tissues were compared. During wound healing, gene expression of PIST-specific inflammatory markers was higher in PIST than in OMT (p < .05), but there were no significant differences in the expression of standard inflammatory markers. The molecule CXCL2 was expressed locally at the implant-connective tissue interface, and localization of immune cells closely matched the CXCL2 expression pattern. In PIST, seven of PIST-specific inflammatory markers were expressed specifically and strongly during wound healing and their expression was maintained until the end of healing. Furthermore, CXCL2 expression was due to the creation of the implant-connective tissue interface, and it established a unique defense mechanism in PIST that was not apparent in OMT or PT.

Periodontal disease is considered a risk factor in dental implant treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the periodontal conditions in patients requesting dental implant therapy. A total of 169 patients visiting Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Implantology at Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital were targeted. The following intraoral parameters were measured in each patient: Community Periodontal Index (CPI) score, probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP). Prevalence of patients with periodontal pockets was high: 38% and 28% of patients had a CPI score of code 3 and 4, respectively. Prevalence of teeth with one or more sites with PPD≥4mm was 27%. Moreover, clinical signs suggestive of periodontitis (PPD, CAL≥4mm) were found in 10-15% of tooth sites. Prevalence rates at sites with severe periodontal breakdown (PPD, CAL≥7mm) were 2-5%. These results further emphasize the importance of thorough periodontal assessment in patients prior to dental implant treatment.

OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of peri-implantitis are similar to those of periodontitis, and the causative bacteria are believed to similar. Previous studies support an association between peri-implantitis and periodontal pathogen. Thus, we investigated the bacterial flora of peri-implantitis patients in comparison to those of healthy implant and periodontitis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 70 patients visiting Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital were divided into four groups: healthy, periodontitis, healthy implant, and peri-implantitis. For each group, the following five periodontal pathogens were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and Prevotella intermedia. RESULTS: The average copy number of total bacteria was significantly higher in the periodontitis group than in the other groups. P. gingivalis was detected in the periodontitis and peri-implantitis groups at levels as high as 18.92% and 12.29%, respectively, and P. intermedia was found in the peri-implantitis group at a rate of 2.06%. Nevertheless, periodontal pathogens were generally detected at lower levels in the peri-implantitis group than in the periodontitis group. CONCLUSION: We found lower bacterial counts in the peri-implantitis group relative to the periodontitis group. Our results suggest that the peri-implant tissue is less resistant to bacteria, so even a small number of bacteria can be a risk factor for peri-implantitis and the causative agent of peri-implantitis can be bacteria other than periodontal pathogen.

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic gene expression profile and localization of peri-implant connective tissue (PICT) compared with those of periodontal connective tissue (PCT) and oral mucosal connective tissue (OMCT). Upper first molar of 5-week-old rats were extracted and titanium implant were placed for PICT group. PCT and OMCT were used as control. Laser microdissected connective tissue at 4 weeks used for microarray analysis. The expression and localization of selected genes were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Approximately, 1000 genes of upregulated and downregulated in PICT compared with PCT and OMCT were recognized. Based on the results of microarray analysis and qRT-PCR were demonstrated lipopolysaccharide binding protein (Lbp) as a specific upregulated gene and superoxide dismutase 3 (Sod3) as a specific downregulated gene in PICT. Immunoreaction of LBP and F4/80 as macrophage marker localized to subepithelial and implant facing connective tissue in PICT. SOD3 expression was not observed in PICT, reactive oxygen species, a target of superoxide dismutase, was strongly and locally expressed in all three tissues. Our data suggested that the upregulation of Lbp and downregulation of Sod3 are as characteristic gene expression pattern in PICT.

Bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, previously known as BRONJ, now referred to more broadly as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), is a morbid condition that represents a significant risk for oncology patients who have received high dose intravenous (IV) infusion of a potent nitrogen containing BP (N-BP) drug. At present, no clinical procedure is available to prevent or effectively treat MRONJ. Although the pathophysiological basis is not yet fully understood, legacy adsorbed N-BP in jawbone has been proposed to be associated with BRONJ by one or more mechanisms. We hypothesized that removal of the pre-adsorbed N-BP drug common to these pathological mechanisms from alveolar bone could be an effective preventative/therapeutic strategy. This study demonstrates that fluorescently labeled BP pre-adsorbed on the surface of murine maxillo-cranial bone in vivo can be displaced by subsequent application of other BPs. We previously described rodent BRONJ models involving the combination of N-BP treatment such as zoledronate (ZOL) and dental initiating factors such as tooth extraction. We further refined our mouse model by using gel food during the first 7â¯days of the tooth extraction wound healing period, which decreased confounding food pellet impaction problems in the open boney socket. This refined mouse model does not manifest BRONJ-like severe jawbone exposure, but development of osteonecrosis around the extraction socket and chronic gingival inflammation are clearly exhibited. In this study, we examined the effect of benign BP displacement of legacy N-BP on tooth extraction wound healing in the in vivo model. Systemic IV administration of a low potency BP (lpBP: defined as inactive at 100⯵M in a standard protein anti-prenylation assay) did not significantly attenuate jawbone osteonecrosis. We then developed an intra-oral formulation of lpBP, which when injected into the gingiva adjacent to the tooth prior to extraction, dramatically reduced the osteocyte necrosis area. Furthermore, the tooth extraction wound healing pattern was normalized, as evidenced by timely closure of oral soft tissue without epithelial hyperplasia, significantly reduced gingival inflammation and increased new bone filling in the extraction socket. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that local application of a rescue BP prior to dental surgery can decrease the amount of a legacy N-BP drug in proximate jawbone surfaces below the threshold that promotes osteocyte necrosis. This observation should provide a conceptual basis for a novel strategy to improve socket healing in patients treated with BPs while preserving therapeutic benefit from anti-resorptive N-BP drug in vertebral and appendicular bones.

PURPOSE: Implant placement entails disruption of the epithelial continuity, which can lead to various complications. Therefore, the area of mucosal penetration is of particular interest clinically. The goal of the present study was to compare gene expression in peri-implant soft tissue (PIST) with that in oral mucosal tissue (OMT) using microarray analysis, and to investigate which genes were specifically expressed in PIST. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The bilateral upper first molars were extracted from 4-week-old rats and titanium alloy implants placed only in the left-side extraction sockets. Four weeks after surgery, samples were harvested from the left-side PIST and right-side OMT and total RNA samples isolated. Microarray analysis was used to compare gene expression in PIST and OMT, which was then confirmed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemical staining was also performed to confirm protein level expression. RESULTS: The number of genes expressed with more than a twofold change in PIST compared with OMT was 1,102, of which 750 genes were upregulated and 352 genes were downregulated. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of three selected genes-Ceacam1, Ifitm1, and MUC4-were more significantly expressed in PIST than in OMT(P < .01). Immunohistochemical localization of CEACAM1, IFITM1, and MUC4 was observed in PIST, but no immunoreaction was recognized in OMT. CONCLUSION: The result of microarray analysis showed that, because of implant placement, 750 genes were upregulated in PIST compared with OMT. CEACAM1, IFITM1, and MUC4 were specifically upregulated in PIST.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate behavior of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP) and commercial pure titanium (CpTi) with different surface topography. Mirror-polished (MS), sandblasted with 150-µm alumina (SB150) and SB150 acid-etched (SB150E) were prepared on TZP and CpTi. Proliferation, osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was evaluated. The scanning electron microscopy showed that micro- and nano-topographies were created on both TZP and CpTi SB150E surfaces. The proliferation ability, ALP activity, expression of Runx2 on the both SB150E specimens was significantly higher than those on the other specimens. These results suggested that creation of micro- and nano-topographies on TZP and CpTi by blast and acid-etching may offer a promising method for enhancing the proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs in clinical application.

The influence of a thin carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite (CA) coating to tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) on osteoblastlike cell response was investigated. TZP disks were subjected to blasting and acid etching. Thin CA coatings were deposited by the molecular precursor method (TZP-CA). Initial cell adhesion of mouse osteoblast-like cells MC3T3-E1 was enhanced, and marked progress of actin filaments was observed on TZP-CA compared to on TZP. After 3, 5 or 7 days, cell proliferation on TZP-CA was significantly higher than that on TZP. Alkaline phosphatase activity was slightly lower on TZP-CA than on TZP at 7 days, and no difference was observed at 14 or 21 days. At 28 days incubation, collagenous fibers with mineral precipitants accompanied by phosphorous and amino groups were observed. These results indicate that thin CA coating with molecular precursor method offers promise as a means of enhancing cell response, particularly initial adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

The objective of this study was to clarify the effect of surface topography on osteoblast-like cell behavior on yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP). Mirror-polished; blasted with 50- or 150-µm alumina (SB50 and SB150); and SB150 acid-etched with hydrofluoric acid (SB150E) were prepared on TZP. Initial attachment, proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 were evaluated. The scanning electron microscopy and Sdr (developed interfacial area ratio) values indicated that both micro- and nano-topographies produced on the SB150E surfaces. Although no clear differences were observed in initial cell attachment among specimens, the proliferation rate and expression of ALP activity on the SB150E specimens was significantly higher than that on the other specimens. These results indicate that the creation of micro- and nano-topographies on TZP by surface treatment offers a promising method of enhancing the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.
