Abstract
ObjectiveThe objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of mechanical instruments on the biocompatibility of titanium dental implant surfaces. Materials and methodsMEDLINE, Cochrane-CENTRAL and EMBASE databases were searched up to December 2013, to identify controlled studies on the ability of cells to adhere and colonize non-contaminated and contaminated, smooth and rough, titanium surfaces after instrumentation with different mechanical instruments. ResultsA comprehensive search identified 1893 unique potential papers. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for this review. All studies were in vitro studies. Most studies used titanium discs, strips and cylinders. The air abrasive was the treatment mostly evaluated. The available studies had a high heterogeneity which precluded any statistical analysis of the data. Therefore, the conclusions are not based on quantitative data. Instrumentation seems to have a selective influence on the attachment of different cells. In the presence of contamination, plastic curettes, metal curettes, rotating titanium brushes and an ultrasonic scaling system with a carbon tip and polishing fluid seem to fail to restore the biocompatibility of rough titanium surfaces. The air-powder abrasive system with sodium bicarbonate powder does not seem to affect the fibroblast-titanium surface interaction after treatment of smooth or rough surfaces, even in the presence of contamination. ConclusionThe available data suggest that treatment with an air-powder abrasive system with sodium bicarbonate powder does not seem to adversely affect the biocompatibility of titanium dental implant surfaces. However, the clinical impact of these findings requires further clarification.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
