Description
Abstract
Objective: Greater biologic capabilities in implant surfaces are required to address the challenges and rising expectations in implant therapy.
Background: The results of current in vitro and in vivo investigations on titanium's ultraviolet (UV) photofunctionalization are compiled in this article.
Method: The term "UV photofunctionalization" describes a comprehensive phenomenon of surface alteration of titanium after exposure to UV light, encompassing modifications to physicochemical properties and enhancements to biological capacities. In an animal model, bone morphogenesis surrounding titanium implants exposed to UV light is significantly better than that surrounding untreated control implants, with nearly 100% bone-to-implant contact. UV irradiation dramatically enhanced the adhesion, retention, and following
osteogenic cell cascades that are functioning and come from both humans as well as animals, according to a number of in vitro studies. Its surfaces are titanium.
Conclusion: For all types of titanium surface treatment studied, UV treatment has been shown to be efficient and inexpensive. According to these findings, UV photofunctionalization may be an efficient technique for enhancing implant therapy in the domain of dentistry. The goal of future study will be to confirm these results in clinical investigations.
Keywords: Bone–implant interface, dental implant, osseointegration, titanium, ultraviolet.
