Abstract

A bioactive-type of hydrophilic dental implant which is made of titanium or titanium alloy having a rough surface, wherein a coating layer of a mixed solution comprising i) an organic pH buffering agent and/or inorganic pH buffering agent and ii) an organic amphiphilic having sulfonic group is formed on the rough surface which was pre-treated to remove a contaminant. The present invention has effects preventing that the dental implant is exposed to air before it is inserted into the alveolar bone and the implant surface is re-contaminated; improving the biocompatibility of the implant, fluid- and blood-affinity, and the initial osseointegration performance; and shortening the osseointegration period, and the surface of the dental implant can be maintained as being hydrophilic for at least 3 years by using a mixed solution of pH buffering agent and organic amphiphilic substance having sulfonic group as a surface coating solution.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A bioactive hydrophilic dental implant which is made of titanium or titanium alloy and has a rough surface,
wherein a coating layer of a mixed solution comprising i) an organic pH buffering agent and an inorganic pH buffering agent and ii) an organic amphiphilic substance having a sulfonic group is formed on the rough surface which was subject to pre-treatment for removal of a contaminant,
wherein the organic pH buffering agent has a pKa of 8.0 or more and comprises at least one of AMPD, ammonia, bicine, glycine, glycylglycine, tris, tricine and taurine,
wherein the inorganic pH buffering agent has a hydroxyl group and comprises at least one of NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH) 2 , Ba(OH) 2 , Al(OH) 3 and Sr(OH) 2 ,
wherein the organic amphiphilic substance having the sulfonic group comprises at least one of ACE, BES, CHES, HEPES, MOPS, PIPES and TES, and
wherein in the mixed solution, the organic amphiphilic substance having the sulfonic group has a concentration of 0.05˜1.68M, and the organic pH buffering agent and the inorganic pH buffering agent is used in a range of 1-10 wt % of the mixed solution.

2. A method for preparing a bioactive hydrophilic dental implant, the method comprising:
preparing dental implant made of titanium or titanium alloy;
roughening a surface of the dental implant;
removing a contaminant from the roughened surface by pre-treating the roughened surface of the dental implant; and
forming, on the roughened surface from which the contaminant is removed, a coating layer of a mixed solution comprising i) an organic pH buffering agent and an inorganic pH buffering agent and ii) an organic amphiphilic substance having a sulfonic group,
wherein the organic pH buffering agent has a pKa of 8.0 or more and comprises at least one of AMPD, ammonia, bicine, glycine, glycylglycine, tris, tricine and taurine,
wherein the inorganic pH buffering agent has a hydroxyl group and comprises at least one of NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH) 2 , Ba(OH) 2 , Al(OH) 3 and Sr(OH) 2 ,
wherein the organic amphiphilic substance having the sulfonic group comprises at least one of ACE, BES, CHES, HEPES, MOPS, PIPES and TES, and
wherein in the mixed solution, the organic amphiphilic substance having the sulfonic group has a concentration of 0.05-1.68M, and the organic pH buffering agent and the inorganic pH buffering agent is used in a range of 1-10 wt % of the mixed solution.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the removing of the contaminant comprises treating the roughened surface of the dental implant with at least one of ultraviolet ray, radio-frequency glow discharge (RFGD), and oxygen and room temperature plasma.
