A novel approach for enhanced nanoparticle-sized bone substitute adhesion to chemically treated peri-implantitis-affected implant surfaces: an in vitro proof-of-principle study
Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate micro and nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) blended clot adhesion to citric acid-conditioned peri-implantitis-affected surfaces. Forty hopeless implants with peri-implantitis designated for removal were included in this study. Implants were divided into eight groups of five each: group 1 (G1) test areas were coated with hydroxyapatite of a microparticle size (MHA); group 2 (G2) test areas were coated with NHA; group 3 (G3) implants were coated with MHA after surface conditioning using citric acid; group 4 (G4) samples were treated in the same manner as in G3 except for the use of NHA; group 5 (G5) samples were coated without surface treatment with MHA mixed with whole human blood; group 6 (G6) implant samples were treated in the same manner as in G5 except for the use of NHA; group 7 (G7) implant samples were treated in the same way as in G5 plus surface conditioning using citric acid; and group 8 (G8) samples were treated in the same manner as in G7 except for the use of NHA. All implants in all groups were agitated for 3 minutes in phosphate-buffered saline. All samples were prepared for scanning electron microscopy evaluation. G1 and G2 non-etched implants coated with MHA or NHA sizes were ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders
Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
