Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to implant materials and a method for manufacturing the same, particularly to dental materials to which affinity for bone cells is required, such as dental implants, artificial teeth, etc., and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • Titanium and titanium alloys have been used as base materials of implants which are placed in living bodies, such as dental implants, for their high biocompatibility, resistance to corrosion, and mechanical strength.
  • a dental implant made of titanium and the titanium alloy is directly fixed to a jaw bone, metabolism in restoring osseous tissue of the jaw bone gets out of balance, and the dental implant may be loosened, or osteolysis of the jaw bone may occur.
  • a cause of the dental implant failure is peri-implantitis which may lead to osteolysis by osteoclasts induced around the dental implant.
  • the peri-implantitis may be derived from microbial stimulus such as bacterial infection etc., and mechanical stimulus such as excessive occlusal force etc., and may also be caused by activation of the osteoclasts by the dental implant itself.
  • the activation of the osteoclasts by the dental implant occurs in an early stage after the placement of the implant.
  • the osteoclasts induced in the early stage inhibit osseointegration of the implant, which leads to implant failure.
  • a presumable cause of the activation of the osteoclasts is that titanium and the titanium alloy do not have sufficient affinity for bone cells. On a surface of a material which does not have sufficient affinity for the bone cells, differentiation from osteoclast precursor cells to the osteoclasts is accelerated to cause osteolysis. It has been known that titanium and the titanium alloys have relatively high affinity for the bone cells. However, their affinity is not sufficient, and the dental implant failure may occur depending on conditions of the jaw bone and an oral cavity of a subject.
  • a diamond-like carbon thin film (a DLC film) has been attempted (see, e.g., Patent Document 1).
  • the DLC film has high biocompatibility because a main component thereof is carbon, and a surface thereof is smooth and inactive. For these reasons, the DLC film presumably has high affinity for the bone cells.
  • the dental implant coated with the DLC film has the following disadvantages.
  • the DLC film is hard and rigid, and cannot sufficiently adhere to the base material.
  • the DLC film may be peeled off the base material, or may be cracked.
  • An intermediate layer may be formed to improve adhesion between the DLC film and the base material.
  • a load applied to the dental implant is as high as 300 N (see, e.g., Non-Patent Document 1). With such a large load applied to the dental implant, the peeling and cracking of the DLC film cannot be prevented by merely forming the intermediate layer.
  • the present disclosure is intended to provide an implant material which can reduce the differentiation from the osteoclast precursor cells to the osteoclasts, and is resistant to degradation even when a large load is applied.
  • an implant material of the present disclosure includes a carbon thin film which coats a surface of a base material of the implant material, and contains a silicon carbide component.
  • the disclosed implant material includes: a base material; and a carbon thin film which is formed on a surface of the base material, and contains silicon, wherein the carbon thin film contains a C—C component in which carbon atoms are bonded, and a SiC component in which carbon and silicon atoms are bonded, and a ratio of the SiC component is 0.06 or higher.
  • the disclosed implant material includes the carbon thin film formed on the surface of the base material. This can reduce differentiation from osteoclast precursor cells to osteoclasts, and can provide high affinity for bone. Since the carbon thin film contains the SiC component, the carbon thin film has a lower elastic coefficient than general carbon thin films. Thus, the carbon thin film is resistant to peeling off the surface of the base material, and to cracking. Therefore, the implant material can be resistant to degradation even when excessive stress, such as occlusal force etc., is applied thereto.
  • the ratio of the SiC component is preferably 0.5 or lower.
  • the base material may be metal.
  • the base material may be a dental implant, an artificial tooth, or a crown restoration.
  • a method for manufacturing the disclosed implant material includes: preparing a base material for implant; removing moisture from a chamber in which the base material is placed; and introducing material gas as a carbon source and a silicon source into the chamber after the preparation of the base material to form a carbon thin film containing a C—C component in which carbon atoms are bonded, and a SiC component in which carbon and silicon atoms are bonded on a surface of the base material by ionized deposition.
  • the disclosed method for manufacturing the carbon thin film includes the removal of moisture from the chamber.
  • a carbon thin film containing less silicon oxide component can be formed even when an amount of silicon introduced in the chamber is increased.
  • This can provide an implant material which has high affinity for bone cells, and is resistant to peeling off the surface of the base material, and to cracking.
  • the implant material which reduces the differentiation from the osteoclast precursor cells to the osteoclasts, and is resistant to degradation even when a large load is applied thereto can be provided.

  • FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating relationship between a ratio of a SiC component and Young's modulus of the sample of the example of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 3( a ) and 3 ( b ) are electron micrographs illustrating the results of a bending test of the samples of the example of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 4( a ) and 4 ( b ) are graphs showing the evaluation results of bone compatibility of the samples of the example of the present invention, in particular, FIG. 4( a ) shows evaluation of expression of TRAP, and FIG. 4( b ) shows evaluation of expression of cathepsin K.
  • An implant of an embodiment of the present invention is a dental implant.
  • the dental implant of the present embodiment includes a base material made of titanium etc., and a carbon thin film which coats a surface of the base material.
  • the carbon thin film is a material represented by a diamond-like carbon thin film (a DLC film) which is an amorphous film made of SP2 bonded carbon, and SP3 bonded carbon.
  • the diamond-like carbon thin film generally contains hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in addition to carbon.
  • Si silicon
  • fluorine (F), etc. are supplied in depositing the carbon thin film, the carbon thin film can contain these elements in various ratios.

  • a load of 300 N is applied to a dental implant of a general shape having a screw diameter of 2.7 mm, and an effective engagement length of 5 mm
  • a load of about 7.1 N/mm 2 is applied to a threaded portion of the screw.
  • Pure titanium has a Young's modulus of 106 GPa.
  • a distortion rate of the threaded portion of the dental implant is 6.6 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 %.
  • the material coating the surface of the dental implant has to be resistant to cracking even when the material experiences distortion greater than the above-described distortion.
  • the material has to be able to reduce differentiation from osteoclast precursor cells to osteoclasts. Further, the material has to be resistant to corrosion in an intraoral environment.
  • the inventors of the present invention have found that a Si-added carbon thin film is significantly suitable as a material which satisfies the above requirements.
  • the carbon thin film can contain a carbon-carbon (C—C) bond in which general carbon atoms are bonded, and a silicon carbide (SiC) component in which carbon and Si atoms are bonded.
  • C—C carbon-carbon
  • SiC silicon carbide
  • the Young's modulus of the carbon thin film greatly varies depending on the content of the SiC component. This can provide the carbon thin film which is resistant to the cracking.
  • SiO 2 silicon oxide
  • the SiO 2 component in the carbon thin film is produced when Si and oxygen supplied from an atmosphere are reacted in depositing the carbon thin film.
  • a major source of oxygen is moisture.
  • the carbon thin film to which Si is added in a dehydrated condition is formed on the surface of the base material, the implant can be provided with high affinity for the bone cells, and high durability.
  • the carbon thin film preferably contains Si, and the SiO 2 component in a ratio of 0.05 or lower.
  • the implant will be described in detail below by way of an example.
  • a stainless (JIS standard: SUS316) wire having a diameter of 0.5 mm was used as the base material.
  • the base material was placed in a chamber of an ionized deposition apparatus, and bombardment was performed for 30 minutes. The bombardment was performed by introducing argon (Ar) gas into the chamber to a pressure of 10 ⁇ 1 Pa-10 ⁇ 3 Pa (10 ⁇ 3 Torr-10 ⁇ 5 Torr), generating Ar ions by discharge, and allowing the generated Ar ions to impact on the surface of the base material.
  • Ar argon
  • the chamber Before forming the carbon thin film, the chamber was heated to 80° C. to perform baking for 2 hours. Thus, moisture remaining in the chamber was removed to reduce the production of SiO 2 due to oxidation of Si during the deposition.
  • the SiO 2 component in the surface of the carbon thin film can be reduced by stacking another carbon thin film in which the composition is changed not to contain Si on the carbon thin film. However, this complicates the deposition of the film. Further, the upper carbon thin film may be peeled off the lower carbon thin film at an interface therebetween.
  • the composition of the carbon thin film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
  • XPS X-ray photoelectron spectrometer
