Purpose
The surface chemical and physical properties of materials used for implants have a major influence on blood clot organization. This study aims to evaluate the blood clot extension (bce) on zirconia and titanium. bce was measured in association to surface roughness (Ra) and static contact angle (θ).
Materials and Methods
Forty disk-shaped samples of sandblasted yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (sb-YTZP), machined titanium (m-Ti), and sandblasted, high-temperature, acid-etched titanium (p-Ti) were used in the present study. About 0.2 mL of human blood, immediately dropped onto the specimen's surface and left in contact for 5 minutes at room temperature, was used to measure the bce. Specimens were observed under confocal scanning laser and scanning electron microscopes.
Results
The bce (mean × 107 ± standard deviation [SD] × 106 μm2) was 2.97 ± 6.68 for m-Ti, 5.64 ± 6.83 for p-Ti, and 3.61 ± 7.67 for sb-YTZP. p-Ti samples showed a significantly higher bce. Ra (mean ± SD [μm]) was 0.56 ± 0.7 for m-Ti, 3.78 ± 0.8 for p-Ti, and 2.68 ± 0.6 for sb-YTZP. The difference was not significant between sb-YTZP and p-Ti. θ (mean ± SD) was 55.6 ± 5.6 for m-Ti, 48.7 ± 2.8 for sb-YTZP, and 38.0 ± 2.2 for p-Ti. The difference was not significant between m-Ti and sb-YTZP.
Conclusions
The sb-YTZP demonstrated a significantly lesser amount of bce compared with p-Ti specimens, notwithstanding that any significant difference was present between Ra and θ.
