This study was performed to evaluate the effect of cyclic precalcification treatment on the improvement of bioactivity of Ti-6Al-4V mini-screws. The cutted plate-shaped specimens of 10 mm × 10 mm dimensions, and a mini-screw with a diameter of 1.6 mm × 6.0 mm in length were used. Anodic oxidation treatment was carried out in a glycerol electrolyte solution containing 20 wt% H2O and 1.5 wt% NH4F. Voltage of 20 V with current density of 20 mA/cm2 was applied for 1 hour to form a nanotube TiO2 layer. Afterwards, to improve the bioactivity, specimens were immersed in 0.5 vol% silica aqueous solution at 37 ℃ for 5 minutes, and then cyclic precalcification treatment with 0.05 M NH4H2PO4 and 0.01 M Ca(OH)2 solution at 90 ℃ was repeated with 20 times. Based on surface treatment the experimental groups were divided into three groups, namely untreated group (UT), anodized and heat-treated group (AH), and anodized, silica-treated, cyclic precalcified and heat-treated group (ASPH). There were TiO2 nanotubes completely self-aligned and formed in a dense structure on the surface after anodic oxidation treatment. A fine granular cluster layer of hydroxyapatite and octacalcium phosphate were formed on the surface after the cyclic precalcification treatment. As a result of immersion test in the simulated body fluid (SBF), bioactivity was confirmed to be improved by the precipitation of protrusions appearing at the initial stage of formation of hydroxyapatite.
