Purpose: This study evaluated the surface characteristics and bond strength produced using a novel technique for coating hydroxyapatite (HA) onto titanium implants. Methods: HA was coated on the titanium implant surface using a super-high-speed (SHS) blasting method with highly purified HA. The coating was performed at a low temperature, unlike conventional HA coating methods. Coating thickness was measured. The novel HA-coated disc was fabricated. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed directly on the disc to evaluate crystallinity. Four novel HA-coated discs and four resorbable blast medium (RBM) discs were prepared. Their surface roughnesses and areas were measured. Five puretitanium, RBM-treated, and novel HA-coated discs were prepared. Contact angle was measured. Two-way analysis of variance and the post-hoc Scheffe's test were used to analyze differences between the groups, with those with a probability of P<0.05 considered to be statistically significant. To evaluate exfoliation of the coating layer, 7 sites on the mandibles from 7 mongrel dogs were used. Other sites were used for another research project. In total, seven novel HA-coated implants were placed 2 months after extraction of premolars according to the manufacturer's instructions. The dogs were sacrificed 8 weeks after implant surgery. Implants were removed using a ratchet driver. The surface of the retrieved implants was evaluated microscopically. Results: A uniform HA coating layer was formed on the titanium implants with no deformation of the RBM titanium surface microtexture when an SHS blasting method was used. Conclusions: These HA-coated implants exhibited increased roughness, crystallinity, and wettability when compared with RBM implants.

당진 신암사는 고려 후기에 창건된 사찰이며, 경내의 극락전에는 금동여래좌상이 봉안되어 있다. 이 불상의 개금층은 박락과 광택이 저하되는 등 여러 손상이 발생하였다. 이 연구에서는 재료학적 분석과 비파괴 진단을 통해 불상의 내부와 외부에 대한 보존상태를 정밀 검토하였으며, 이를 근거로 제작기법을 해석하였다. 이 결과, 개금층은 순금을 사용한 것으로 판단되며 안료에서 흑색은 먹, 녹색은 석록과 염화동 및 동록 등으로, 적색은 연단 또는 진사가 사용된 것으로 추정된다. 손상도 평가 결과, 개금층의 벗겨짐, 균열, 탈락 및 박리 등이 확인되나 보존상태는 비교적 건전하다. 그러나 개금층의 광택은 유지부에 비해 저하부가 더 넓게 산출된다. 이 불상에 대한 초음파 속도측정 결과 1,230~3,987(평균 2,608)m/s로 비교적 넓은 범위를 보였으며, 적외선 열화상으로 박리는 확인되지 않았고 특별한 접합흔도 발견되지 않는다. 내시경 검사에서는 내부 소지금속의 부식과 생물학적 피해가 다소 관찰되었으며, 봉안된 복장물이 확인되었다. 이를 종합하여 제작기법을 검토한 결과, 이 금동여래좌상은 통주조로 제작하였으며 주형을 거꾸로 뒤집어 용탕을 주입한 것으로 판단된다.
