Summary: | Objectives
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether surface chemistry‐controlled TiO2 nanotube structures may serve as a local drug delivery system for zoledronic acid improving implant‐bone support.
Methods
Twenty‐four screw‐shaped Ti implants with surface chemistry‐controlled TiO2 nanotube structures were prepared and divided into a zoledronic acid‐formatted test and a native control group. The implants were inserted into contra‐lateral femoral condyles in 12 New Zealand White rabbits. Bone support was evaluated using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and removal torque (RTQ), as well as histometric analysis following a 3‐weeks healing interval.
Results
Zoledronic acid‐formatted TiO2 nanotube test implants showed significantly improved implant stability and osseointegration measured using RFA and RTQ compared with control (p |
