Abstract

Titanium for dental implant application has the superior properties of biocompatibility, specific strength, and corrosion resistance. However, it is extremely difficult to find a suitable surface treatment method for sufficient osseointegration with biological tissue/bone cell and implant surface. Surface treatment technology using laser has been researched as the way to increase surface area of implant. In this study, to develop the surface treatment process with improved adhesion between implant and bone cell at the same time for superior biocompatibility, pulsed laser beam was overlapped continuously for scribed surface morphology and determination of friction coefficient. As the results, surface area and friction coefficient was increased over 2 times by the comparison with sand blasting, which is used for the conventional method. In this time, the optimal condition for laser beam power and beam irradiation speed was 13 watt and 50 mm/sec, respectively.
