Abstract : [ABSTRACT] We have a historical discovery in the implant research. We are finding this "biological aging of titanium" and named. Biological aging is that protein adsorption capacity and cell attractiveness of Ti, which are critical to the process of osseointegration, changes over time before its use. We have verified this phenomenon and tried an overcome aging using photo-functionalized technology. Ti disk with micro-structure topographies was prepared: acid-etched surface. Some disks were tested for biological capacity immediately after the processing and some after being stored under dark ambient conditions for 4 weeks. Furthermore, we examined the bioactivity of ultraviolet (UV) light-treated titanium surface. Protein adsorption capacity of Ti was examined using albumin. Cell attractiveness of titanium was evaluated by examining the number of rat bone marrow-derived osteoblasts attached to Ti disks. Protein adsorption capacities of 4-week-old Ti disks were substantially lower than the fresh Ti disks. After 24h incubation, the number of cells attached to the fresh surface was over three times more than those attached to the 4-week-old surface. On the UV-treated surface, the cellular spread was same as a fresh surface expedited with an extensive. Degrading trend of protein adsorption capacity and osteoblast attractiveness of Ti surfaces during 4 weeks of storage after processing was remarkable. UV light pretreatment substantially enhanced the osseointegration capacity of titanium surface. These results are found to change the definition of material science. We believe that the first step of historical turning point in providing innovative technology of implant treatment.
