To evaluate the osteogenesis and Osseointegration on titanium implants Surface treated with cissus Quadrangularis hydrogel: an in-vivo Animal study

Abstract

ABSTRACT The challenge in implant placement remains to reduce the time taken for bone healing following dental implant placement. Surface modified implants have gained attention as a factor to stimulate osseointegration. In the present study a novel hydrophilic hydrogel is made using Cissusquandrangularis ( Cq) taking into consideration the excellent osetoproliferative and osteogenic properties of cissus on a promising chitosan scaffold. Purpose of the Study Titanium implant systems, though considered as the gold standard for rehabilitation of edentulous spaces, have been criticized for certain inherent flaws. The tiring wait for optimum osseointegrationoftens makes the patient reconsider dental implant placement. Surface treated titanium implants are emerging as a promising alternative to machined Titanium implants for oral rehabilitation with superior osseointegration, early loading protocols and shortened period of edentulousness. This research aims to critically analyze and review the credibility of Cissusquadrangularis as a surface coating on a commercially pure dental implant surface. Aim/Hypothesis: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Cissusquadrangularis hydrogel on bone regeneration around titanium implants.
