Laser metal sintering has shown promising results, but no comparison with other commercially available surface has been performed. This study sought to evaluate the biomechanical and histological early bone response to laser sintered implants relative to alumina-blasted/acid-etched (AB/AE). Surface topography was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and optical interferometry. Surface chemistry was assessed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Beagle dogs (n = 18) received 4 Ti-6Al-4V implants (one per surface) in each radius, remaining for 1, 3, and 6 weeks (n = 6 dogs per evaluation time) in vivo. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) were evaluated. Biomechanical evaluation comprised torque-to-interface failure. The laser sintered surface presented higher S(a) and S(q) than AB/AE. Chemistry assessment showed the alloy metallic components along with adsorbed carbon species. Significantly higher torque was observed at 1 (p < 0.02) and 6 week (p < 0.02) for the laser sintered, whereas at 3 week no significant differences were observed. Significantly higher BIC and BAFO was observed for the Laser Sintered (p < 0.04, and p < 0.03, respectively) only at 1 week, whereas no significant differences were observed at 3 and 6 weeks. The laser sintered implants presented biocompatible and osseoconductive properties and improved biomechanical response compared with the AB/AE surface only at 1 and 6 weeks in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
