Description
Summary:: The effect of unintended titanium release around oral implants remains a biological concern. The current study was undertaken to evaluate a new detection system of element mapping in biological probes. A new scanning electron microscopy‐energy dispersive spectroscopy detection method was used to map the features of titanium contamination in peri‐implant bone around implants with different surface structures. The amount of titanium wear was highest adjacent to titanium‐plasma‐sprayed surfaces, followed by sandblastered large grid acid‐etched and smooth surfaces. A high sensitivity of titanium detection over large areas of bone tissue was observed. A high spatial resolution of titanium wear particles (20 nm) could be reached and correlated to the ultrastructural morphological features of peri‐implant tissue. Cells adjacent to titanium wear revealed no signs of morphological alterations on a nanoscale level at early periods of implant/bone interaction. The new technique may serve as a fast and effective tool to evaluate titanium release effects in biological probes.
