Abstract

The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of tetracycline-HCL on the change of implant surface microstructure according to application time. Implant with pure titanium machined surface, double coated FBR® surface and oxidized CellNest surface were utilized. Implant surface was rubbed with 50mg/ml tetracycline-HCL solution for ½, 1, 1½, 2 and 2½min. respectively in the test group. Then, specimens were processed for scanning electron microscopic observation.
The results of this study were as follows.
1. Both test and control group showed a few shallow grooves and ridges in pure titanium machined surface implants. There were not significant differences between two groups.
2. The double coated FBR® surfaces showed fine crystalline structures. The roughness of surfaces conditioned with tetracycline-HCL was lessened relative to the application time.
3. The oxidized CellNest surfaces showed the porous structures. The surface conditioning with tetracycline-HCl influenced on its micro-morphology.
In conclusion, the detoxification of the affected implant surface with 50mg/ml tetracycline-HCL should be applied respectively with different time according to various implant surfaces.
