It has been estimated that a 500 thousand bone craft procedures is made each year around the world. Syntetase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocrystals on high degree of pureness; Evaluate its biocompatibility following
However little success is being reached in procedures using aloplastic materials, essentially because its 1 2
parameters defined and accepted for the Dental International Federation ( FDI) and American Dental Association (ADA):
osseointegrate incapacity.
Evidence its nanotopograph in the interface of the new bone through Atomic Microscopy Force (AMF)
Thus, through the methodology used was possible to evidence the osseointegration phenomenal and biocompatibility of an
aloplasthic material containing nanocrystals of titanium dioxide. We can also conclude that there was direct bone deposition on
the oxide, what can be called osteointegration. The material was gotten through the synthesis of a nano powder using the

humid one way precipitation, Pechini method on ambient temperature (Fig. 1). After temperature treatment was structurally
characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) (Fig. 2a), Confirming titanium dioxide synthesis on Rutilo and Anatasio phases, with
tetragonal crystalline symmetry and medium size of 21 nm (Fig. 3). We characterize using de Raman micro spectroscopy too.
(Fig. 2b) The vibration asset ways typical on TiO2 nanocrystals on Rutilo e Anatase phases, confirming the pureness on the
synthesis through the absence of others nanostructures identified by Raman specter (Fig. 4). After that, the biocompatibility
test was made using intra bone implantation of the TiO2 powder inside a teflon cup in guinea pigs jaw. (Fig. 5) Previously Figura 1
approved by the CEUA/UFU 101/10. Ten guinea pigs were used on the experimental periods: 4 and 12 weeks. Each animal
received a Teflon cup containing TiO2 nanocrystals. From each implant was made 24 blades with 144 cuts colored by
hematoxilin-eosine method and analyzed by two independent observers by means of inflammatory intensity response scores, Figura 2 Figura 3 Figura 4 Figura 5
considering all Teflon cup board. The analysis was criteriously interpreted following the FDI normative as acceptable or not
acceptable to be related to bone.
Thus, through the methodology used it was possible to demonstrate the
