Abstract
Surface treatment by laser irradiation can change the topography of titanium; however, little is known about the changes it causes when applied to other coatings. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser irradiation on the surface properties of titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) discs. Four Ti-6Al-4V surfaces were evaluated (n = 10): CON-control, machined without surface treatment; LT-machined + laser treatment; HA-hydroxyapatite coating; and LT-HA-hydroxyapatite coating + laser treatment. For the laser treatment, an Er:YAG laser with a wavelength of 2940 nm, a frequency of 10 Hz, and an energy density of 12.8 J/cm2 was used. The morphology of the coating was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the surface composition by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The influence of laser irradiation treatment on roughness and wettability was also evaluated. The Er:YAG laser promoted a significant reduction in the roughness Sa (p < 0.05) and in the contact angle (p = 0.002) of the LT surface compared to the CON surface. On the LT-HA surface, a significant decrease in roughness was observed only for the Rz parameter (p = 0.015) and an increase in the contact angle (p < 0.001) compared to the HA surface. The use of the Er:YAG laser with the evaluated parameters decreased the surface roughness and improved the wetting capacity of machined without surface treatment. In the group with hydroxyapatite coating, the laser influenced the surface roughness only for the parameter Rz and reduced their wetting capacity.

Abstract
The two major problems of titanium alloy surface of bone/dental implants were the lack of native tissue integration and associated infection. To solve these problems, the development of self-defending implants with intrinsic osteogenic properties has been highlighted, in which titanium alloy surfaces of bone/dental implants are endowed with antibacterial property by silver (Ag) incorporated in biomaterials. In this study, we biofunctionalized the surface of selective laser melting (SLM) manufactured volume-porous Ti-Ta-Nb-Zr scaffolds by using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) as a way to eliminate the peri-operative bacterial load and promote osseointegration. In the experiment, the PEO process operated with three different concentration (1, 1, and 2 g/L) of a AgNO3 solution. As a result, a titanium oxide coating embedded with calcium and phosphorous and Ag was formed by one-step PEO treatment, and a presence of HAp was detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS. In addition, Ag ions were found to be released from the scaffolds for at least 28 days, resulting in an effective prevention of bacterial adhesion and a decrease of the number of planktonic bacteria, with no sign of cytotoxicity shown simultaneously. Highly porosity micropores were formed on the surface of scaffolds after oxidation, and the mechanical properties did not show any signs of change. Besides, a strong calcium deposition and osteoconductive effect were found on the surface of PEO-treated Ag scaffolds. To sum up, this study reveals the potential of PEO coatings to biofunctionalize SLM Ti-Ta-Nb-Zr scaffolds with antibacterial agents. The biomaterials developed here, therefore, exploit the biofunctionalized behavior of Ag to offer strong antibacterial behavior and osteogenic promotion without cytotoxicity of Ag against mammalian cells.

Abstract
The development of new surface designs to enhance the integration process between surgically placed implants and biological tissues remains a challenge for the scientific community. In this way and trying to overcome this issue, in this work, laser technology was explored to produce novel textures on the surface of green zirconia compacts produced by cold pressing technique. Two strategies regarding line design (8 and 16 lines design) and different laser parameters (laser power and number of laser passages) were explored to assess their influence on geometry and depth of created textures. The produced textures were evaluated with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and it was observed that well-defined textured surfaces with regular geometric features (cavities or pillars) were obtained by laser combining different strategies lines design and parameters. The potential of proposed textures was also evaluated regarding surface wettability, friction performance (static and dynamic coefficient of friction evolution) against bone, aging resistance and flexural strength. Results demonstrated that all the produced textures display a super hydrophilic or hydrophilic behavior. Regarding the friction behavior, it was experimentally observed a high initial static coefficient of friction (COF) for all produced textures. Concerning the aging resistance, all the textured surfaces revealed a low monoclinic content, less than 25% after 5 h of hydrothermal aging. The flexural strength results showed that the mechanical resistance of zirconia was not significantly compromised with the laser action. Based on the obtained results, it is possible to prove that the processing route used for manufacturing the new and different surface designs (cold pressing technique followed by laser texturing) showed to be particularly effective for the production of zirconia implants with customized surface designs according to the properties required in a specific application. These new surface designs besides to enhance the surface wettability and also to improve the fixation at the initial moment of the implantation, do not significantly compromise the resistance to aging and the mechanical performance of zirconia. Hence, a positive impact on the long-term performance of the zirconia implants may be expected with the proposed novel laser textured surface designs.

Development of novel zirconia implant's materials gradated design with improved bioactive surface. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2019; 94:110-125. [PMID: 30884280 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2019.02.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2019] [Revised: 02/14/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Zirconia implants are becoming a preference choice for different applications such as knee, dental, among others. In order to improve osseointegration, implant's surfaces are usually coated with bioactive materials like hydroxyapatite (HAp) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) that are very similar to the calcium phosphates found in bones. However, due to the implantation process, these coatings can be detached from the zirconia surface, leading to implant premature failure. In this work, a new component materials design aiming to avoid this coating detachment problem is proposed. It is based on the use of a bioactive zirconia-calcium phosphate composite outer layer onto the zirconia bulk, where the zirconia bulk provides mechanical strength and the outer layer provides biological performance. In order to assess the potential of this new materials design, two types of bioactive zirconia outer composite layers (zirconia reinforced by 10 vol% of HAp and by 10 vol% of β-TCP) were produced by press and sinter process and the gradated samples were fully characterized concerning materials, mechanical resistance, fatigue resistance, and biological performance, as measured by different approaches. Results showed that the novel component materials design and the manufacturing process proposed for producing the bioactive zirconia samples with outer composite layers on zirconia bulk substrates are a promising solution for implants, with improved biological performance without substantially compromising their overall mechanical and fatigue properties.
