Osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation on <scp>SLA</scp> and hydrophilic modified <scp>SLA</scp> titanium surfaces

Abstract

It may be concluded that the modSLA surface promotes osteogenic effect and prevents osteoclastic differentiation. Promotion of osteoblastic proliferation after a short-term cell culture might be responsible for stimulated bone regeneration implying that early loading may be possible. Also, the anti-osteoclastic effect of the modSLA surface may contribute to maintenance of the marginal bone level of dental implants, implying long-term stability would be provided by this surface technology. The modSLA surface may not only make early loading possible but possibly reduce marginal bone loss during the maintenance phase.
