Correlation of in vitro and in vivo results of vacuum plasma sprayed titanium implants with different surface topography.
Research has proven that rough surfaces improve both biologic and biomechanical responses to titanium (Ti) implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the expression of bone cell-associated proteins to Vacuum Plasma-Sprayed Titanium implants (VPS-Ti) with different surface textures in vitro and the bone integration in vivo. The biological performances of the surfaces were evaluated over a period of 8 weeks using human bone marrow cell cultures and Göttinger mini pigs. Cells were cultured on VPS-Ti with two respectively different surface-roughnesses (Ra). The level of Osteoprotegerin (OPG), Osteocalcin (OC) and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) were evaluated. The bone integration in vivo was evaluated by histomorphological analyses. A cancellous structured titanium (CS-Ti) construct was used as reference material in both study designs. Comparison of data was conducted using the Scheffé tests and the paired t-test with Bonferroni's correction. A comparative analysis was done to measure the degree of association between the in vitro and in vivo data. A total amount of OC was significantly increased for VPS-Ti for cells cultured on both VPS-Ti and CS-Ti, while OPG was only detectable after 8 weeks without any significant differences. The ALP activity on all surfaces was not statistically increased. For VPS-Ti with Ra ranging from 0.025 mm up to 0.059 mm, bone integration response was increased, but there was no statistical difference between the VPS-Ti. Expression of OPG, OC and ALP correlated with the histomorphological data over the 8-week period. The in vitro data suggest the superiority of VPS-Ti over CS-Ti, but more importantly, the biocompatibility of testing an in vitro model to predict the outcome and possible integration of implants in vivo.
