Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to develop an effective method for cleaning implant abutments made by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing techniques and to investigate the effect of decontamination in vitro. Briefly, a newly developed reagent (PK) and/or vacuum plasma (Plasma) were used to clean the surfaces of zirconia disks, and the effects of this decontamination were evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were cultured on sample disks for 6, 24, and 48 h. We evaluated cell attachment and gene expression of the acute inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor A, and type 1 collagen. In the PK and PK+Plasma groups, surface contaminants were reduced by washing. In addition, HGF attachments was increased in the PK and PK+Plasma groups. Gene expressions of interleukin-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor A were lower at 6 h. Gene expression of type 1 collagen was increased at all time points after seeding. These results suggest that decontamination of implant abutment surfaces is important in initial HGF attachment and may improve the biological seal of peri-implant soft tissue.
