Abstract
It is possible to improve the quality of treatment of patients using dental implants by strengthening the bone–dental implant connection with a weak direct current. Titanium electrodes simulating dental implants were used in the in vitro experiment. The electrodes were placed in collected human venous blood. In the experimental group, physiotherapy procedures were performed for 10 minutes using the developed device at a current of 15–20 μA. In the control group, titanium plates were placed in blood without electric current for 10 minutes. In the studied samples, the adhesion density of blood clots to the titanium plates, the thickness of blood clots, the number of platelets and erythrocytes were studied. It was found that the effect of an electric current of 15–20 μA on a blood clot through titanium plates contributes to thickening and compaction of blood clots on the surface of the electrodes. The number of red blood cells and platelets in the blood clot increases, which can have a positive effect on the process of osseointegration.
