Comparative evaluation of osteogenic cell growth on titanium surface and titanium coated with boron nitride surface: An in vitro study
Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society(2023)
Abstract
Context: To promote better biological response and osseointegration continuous research is going on to modify the titanium (Ti) implant surface for successful implant treatment modality. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the osteogenic cell growth upon the uncoated Ti discs and boron nitride (BN) coated Ti to assess osseointegration and clinical success of dental implants. Settings and Design: This is an descriptive experimental study which includes coating of uncoated titanium alloy suraface with boron nitride in the form of hexagonal boron nitride sheets. Than comparative evaluation of osteogenic cell growth upon both coated and uncoated titanium surfaces was done using specific cell growth determinants. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive experimental study, both BN-coated and uncoated Ti discs were assessed for osteogenic cell growth using 3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, 4 ',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, is a fluorescent stain assay, and cell adhesion assay. Statistical Analysis Used: As this study is a descriptive experimental analysis between two variables only so there is no need of statistical analysis or p-value. Results: Overall good cell adhesion, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation occurred in the BN-coated Ti discs as compared to uncoated Ti discs. Conclusions: To promote osseointegration of dental implants, surface coating with BN proved to be an effective approach toward better osseointegration and long-duration success of dental implants as a single unit or implant-supported prosthesis BN which is a biocompatible graphene material with advantages in chemical and thermal stability. BN promoted better osteogenic cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation. Hence, it can be used as a new promising Ti implant surface-coating material.
