Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate effect of zirconia on osseointegration and Surface appearance by surface treatments using various acid solution. Materials and Methods: The prepared zirconia disks were treated with hydrofluoric acid solution and photo-assisted etching under various condition. The surface was analyzed by SEM and the surface roughness was analyzed by using surface profiler. The osteogenic effect of MC3T3-E1 cells was assessed via fluorescent staining observation and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Various roughness were obtained according to the surface treatment method. The surface roughness increased in the group treated with hydrofluoric acid solution, but that had week network structure. In the method using photo-assisted etching, the surface roughness increased in micro units. Cell reaction showed better results in the photo-assisted etching group than in the hydrofluoric acid-treated group (P < 0.05). And it showed even osteoblastic cell distribution in photo-assisted etching group. Conclusion: As a result, the photo-assisted etching method is more effective than the simple acid solution treatment for zirconia treatment for osseointegration.
