Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the antimicrobial potential of strontium (Sr)-functionalized wafers against multiple bacteria associated with per-implant infections, in both mono- and multispecies biofilms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect of silicon wafers functionalized with a strontium titanium oxygen coating (Sr-Ti-O) or covered only with Ti (controls) against several bacteria, either grown as a mono-species or multispecies biofilms, was assessed using a bacterial viability assay and a plate counting method. Mono-species biofilms were assessed after 2 and 24 h, while the antimicrobial effect on multispecies biofilms was assessed at Days 1, 3, and 6. The impact of Sr functionalization on the total percentage of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the multispecies biofilm, using qPCR, and gingipain activity was also assessed. RESULTS Sr-functionalized wafers, compared to controls, were associated with statistically significant less viable cells in both mono- and multispecies tests. The number of colony forming units (CFUs) within the biofilm was significantly less in Sr-functionalized wafers, compared to control wafers, for Staphylococcus aureus at all time points of evaluation and for Escherichia coli at Day 1. Gingipain activity was less in Sr-functionalized wafers, compared to control wafers, and the qPCR showed that P. gingivalis remained below detection levels at Sr-functionalized wafers, while it consisted of 15% of the total biofilm on control wafers at Day 6. CONCLUSION Sr functionalization displayed promising antimicrobial potential, possessing bactericidal and bacteriostatic ability against bacteria associated with peri-implantitis grown either as mono-species or mixed in a multispecies consortium with several common oral microorganisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of a Ti-Sr-O technology, applied to either a turned surface or an SLA surface, on the mechanical robustness of osseointegration, benchmarked against the SLActive surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ti discs (6.25-mm-diameter and 2-mm-thick) with three different surfaces were inserted on the proximal-anterior part of the tibial plateau of adult Swedish loop rabbits: (I) turned surface modified with Ti-Sr-O (turned + Ti-Sr-O), (II) SLA surface modified with Ti-Sr-O (SLA + Ti-Sr-O), and (III) SLActive surface (SLActive). Following a healing period of 2 weeks and 4 weeks, the pull-out (PO) force needed to detach the discs from the bone was assessed, as a surrogate of osseointegration. RESULTS The SLActive surface exhibited statistically significant higher median PO forces, compared with the SLA + Ti-Sr-O surfaces at both 2- and 4 weeks post-op (p > .05). In this study, no single turned + Ti-Sr-O surface disk was integrated. CONCLUSIONS The tested Ti-Sr-O technology failed to enhance osseointegration; however, this finding may be related to the inappropriateness of the rabbit tibia plateau model for assessing third-generation implant surface technologies, due to the limited diffusion and clearance at the disk-bone interface.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects is an important problem in clinical practice. The rapid development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) may provide a new method for bone defect treatment. Metal ions have been widely studied in BTE and demonstrated a significant effect in promoting bone tissue growth. Different metal ions can be used to treat bone defects according to specific conditions, including promoting osteogenic activity, inhibiting osteoclast activity, promoting vascular growth, and exerting certain antibacterial effects. Multiple studies have confirmed that metal ions-modified composite scaffolds can effectively promote bone defect healing. By studying current extensive research on metal ions in the treatment of bone defects, this paper reviews the mechanism of metal ions in promoting bone tissue growth, analyzes the loading mode of metal ions, and lists some specific applications of metal ions in different types of bone defects. Finally, this paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of metal ions and analyzes the future research trend of metal ions in BTE. This article can provide some new strategies and methods for future research and applications of metal ions in the treatment of bone defects.

In Vivo Evaluation of the Effects of B-Doped Strontium Apatite Nanoparticles Produced by Hydrothermal Method on Bone Repair. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13030110.

Abstract
In the present study, the structural, morphological, and in vivo biocompatibility of un-doped and boron (B)-doped strontium apatite (SrAp) nanoparticles were investigated. Biomaterials were fabricated using the hydrothermal process. The structural and morphological characterizations of the fabricated nanoparticles were performed by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, and EDX. Their biocompatibility was investigated by placing them in defects in rat tibiae in vivo. The un-doped and B-doped SrAp nanoparticles were successfully fabricated. The produced nanoparticles were in the shape of nano-rods, and the dimensions of the nano-rods decreased as the B ratio increased. It was observed that the structural and morphological properties of strontium apatite nanoparticles were affected by the contribution of B. A stoichiometric Sr/P ratio of 1.67 was reached in the 5% B-doped sample (1.68). The average crystallite sizes were 34.94 nm, 39.70 nm, 44.93 nm, and 48.23 nm in un-doped, 1% B-doped, 5% B-doped, and 10% B-doped samples, respectively. The results of the in vivo experiment revealed that the new bone formation and osteoblast density were higher in the groups with SrAp nanoparticles doped with different concentrations of B than in the control group, in which the open defects were untreated. It was observed that this biocompatibility and the new bone formation were especially elevated in the B groups, which added high levels of strontium were added. The osteoblast density was higher in the group in which the strontium element was placed in the opened bone defect compared with the control group. However, although new bone formation was slightly higher in the strontium group than in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant. Furthermore, the strontium group had the highest amount of fibrotic tissue formation. The produced nanoparticles can be used in dental and orthopedic applications as biomaterials.

Abstract
Strontium (Sr) is a trace element taken with nutrition and found in bone in close connection to native hydroxyapatite. Sr is involved in a dual mechanism of coupling the stimulation of bone formation with the inhibition of bone resorption, as reported in the literature. Interest in studying Sr has increased in the last decades due to the development of strontium ranelate (SrRan), an orally active agent acting as an anti-osteoporosis drug. However, the use of SrRan was subjected to some limitations starting from 2014 due to its negative side effects on the cardiac safety of patients. In this scenario, an interesting perspective for the administration of Sr is the introduction of Sr ions in biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications. This strategy has attracted attention thanks to its positive effects on bone formation, alongside the reduction of osteoclast activity, proven by in vitro and in vivo studies. The purpose of this review is to go through the classes of biomaterials most commonly used in BTE and functionalized with Sr, i.e., calcium phosphate ceramics, bioactive glasses, metal-based materials, and polymers. The works discussed in this review were selected as representative for each type of the above-mentioned categories, and the biological evaluation in vitro and/or in vivo was the main criterion for selection. The encouraging results collected from the in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations are outlined to highlight the potential applications of materials’ functionalization with Sr as an osteopromoting dopant in BTE.

Abstract
It is well known that strontium (Sr) has a significant effect on peri-implant bone healing when administered systemically. Due to the risk of adverse effects of such treatments, new routes focusing on the local, sustained release of Sr from bone-implant contact surfaces have been explored, with success in in vivo experiments. However, the increase of Sr concentrations in the peri-implant bone has not been described in depth yet. Here, we show that a local, sustained Sr release from Ti-Sr-O physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings by magnetron sputter coating increases the Sr/Ca ratio close to the implant in a rabbit model and that the Sr/Ca background level is reached approximately 500 μm from the implant.

Abstract
Objectives The dental alveolus is lined by a thin cortical layer (“bundle bone”, “alveolar bone proper”, “cribriform plate”, “lamina dura”), that can impede access to the bone marrow and its vasculature. During unassisted socket healing, the alveolar bundle bone is gradually resorbed allowing tissue resources from the bone marrow to enter into the socket space. An optimized wound healing process, either during unassisted socket healing or during ridge preservation procedures, with autogenous bone and/or any bone/collagen substitute material, depends at least partly on an adequate vascularization of the socket space. This ensures sufficient recruitment of osteoblast and osteoclast precursor cells and facilitates fast bone regeneration and/or uneventful integration of the augmentation material. Methods The present technical note describes an easy treatment step after tooth extraction aiming to improve socket healing with or without any ridge preservation procedure, by facilitating an increased blood inflow into the dental alveolus. Specifically, after tooth extraction the alveolar bundle bone is perforated several times – mainly in a palatally/lingually – by a small round bur (diameter < 1 mm) extending into the trabecular bone. Results and conclusions By means of this relatively simple treatment step, an increased blood inflow into the alveolus is achieved after tooth extraction, which might enhance socket healing and corticalization of the entrance, and in turn result in a lower complication rate (e.g., dry socket), in an enhanced graft incorporation, and/or in a reduced loss of alveolar ridge volume.

Antimicrobial Properties of Strontium Functionalized Titanium Surfaces for Oral Applications, A Systematic Review. COATINGS 2021.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to assess the current scientific evidence of the antimicrobial potential of strontium (Sr) when used to functionalize titanium (Ti) for oral applications. Out of an initial list of 1081 potentially relevant publications identified in three electronic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane) up to 1 February 2021, nine publications based on in vitro studies met the inclusion criteria. The antimicrobial potential of Sr was investigated on different types of functionalized Ti substrates, employing different application methods. Nine studies reported on the early, i.e., 6–24 h, and two studies on the late, i.e., 7–28 days, antimicrobial effect of Sr, primarily against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and/or Escherichia coli (E. coli). Sr-modified samples demonstrated relevant early antimicrobial potential against S. aureus in three studies; only one of which presented statistical significance values, while the other two presented only the percentage of antimicrobial rate and biofilm inhibition. A relevant late biofilm inhibition potential against S. aureus of 40% and 10%—after 7 and 14 days, respectively—was reported in one study. Combining Sr with other metal ions, i.e., silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), and fluorine (F), demonstrated a significant antimicrobial effect and biofilm inhibition against both S. aureus and E. coli. Sr ion release within the first 24 h was generally low, i.e., below 50 µg/L and 0.6 ppm; however, sustained Sr ion release for up to 30 days, while maintaining up to 90% of its original content, was also demonstrated. Thus, in most studies included herein, Sr-functionalized Ti showed a limited immediate (i.e., 24 h) antimicrobial effect, likely due to a low Sr ion release; however, with an adequate Sr ion release, a relevant antimicrobial effect, as well as a biofilm inhibition potential against S. aureus—but not E. coli—was observed at both early and late timepoints. Future studies should assess the antimicrobial potential of Ti functionalized with Sr against multispecies biofilms associated with peri-implantitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/ OBJECTIVES SR is a chemical agent developed for the treatment of osteoporosis. In vitro, SR enhanced replication of osteoprogenitor cells and bone formation. In vivo, in ovariectomized rats SR prevented the biomechanical deterioration of bone while in non-ovariectomized rats, enhanced bone architecture and increased trabecular and cortical bone mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of SR on bone healing of calvarial critical size defects treated with a deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and a collagen barrier (CM), in healthy and osteoporotic rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four, 4-month-old Wistar female rats were used. Osteoporosis was induced by ovariectomy and calcium-deficient diet in half of them. Sixteen ovariectomized (OSR) and 16 healthy (HSR) rats were treated with SR while no medication was administered in the remaining 16 healthy (H) and 16 ovariectomized (O) rats. At 6 weeks after ovariectomy, a 5mm defect was created in each parietal bone of every animal. One defect was treated with DBBM and CM, while the contralateral was left untreated. Qualitative and quantitative histological analysis was performed at 30 and 60 days of healing. A generalized estimating equations test was performed to evaluate the effect of SR and osteoporosis, on new bone formation (NB). RESULTS After 30 days of healing, NB in the untreated defects was 3.4%±1.7%, 4.3%±6.2%, 3.2±4.5%, 15.9±23.5% in O, OSR, H and HSR groups, respectively; after 60 days, NB was 4.7%±4.3%, 11.3%±7%, 7.1%±13.2, 12.1%±13.5%, respectively. In the GBR-treated defects, after 30 days, NB was 2.6%±1.4%, 2.4%±1.6%, 4.5%±4.1%, 10.3%±14.4% in O, OSR, H and HSR groups, respectively; after 60 days, NB was 2.2%±1.6%, 4.3%±4.2%, 7%±5.1%, 10.8%±17.4%, respectively. Osteoporosis (p=0.008) and the absence of strontium ranelate treatment (p=0.01) had a negative impact on NB. CONCLUSION SR may promote bone formation in calvarial defects in healthy and osteoporotic rats, albeit in a moderate extent.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this preclinical study was to evaluate the healing of critical-sized defects (CSDs) in the calvarial bone of rats grafted with deproteinized bovine bone graft (DBB) and with a combination of hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and bisphosphonate treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-four animals were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the type of solution administered: the control group (CTR, saline solution) and the test group (alendronate [ALD]; sodium alendronate-50 μg/kg/day). Medications were administered via oral gavage starting 15 days before the surgical procedure until the end of the experiment. A CSD (5 mm in diameter) was made in the calvaria of each animal, and the rats were randomly allocated to 3 subgroups according to the biomaterial used to fill the defect: coagulum, DBB, and HA/TCP. The animals were sacrificed 15 and 60 days after the surgical procedure (n = 7 animals/period/subgroup). Microcomputed tomography was used to evaluate the percentage of mineralized tissues (volume). The amount of newly formed bone and remaining bone substitute material in the calvaria were analyzed by histomorphometry. RESULTS There were no differences between the CTR and ALD groups with regard to the volume of mineralized tissues. The DBB and HA/TCP subgroups of CTR animals presented a significant increase in newly formed bone compared with these subgroups of ALD animals after 60 days of healing. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings indicate that the use of oral ALD reduced bone formation in CSD in the calvaria of rats grafted with DBB and HA/TCP.

Abstract
Supplementation of CaP-based bone graft substitutes with bioinorganics such as strontium, zinc or silicon is an interesting approach to increase the biological performance in terms of bone regenerative potential of calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bone substitutes. However, the in vivo efficacy of this approach has not been systematically analyzed, yet. Consequently, we performed a systematic review using the available literature regarding the effect of bioinorganic supplementation in CaP-based biomaterials on new bone formation and material degradation in preclinical animal bone defect models and studied this effect quantitatively by performing a meta-analysis. Additional subgroup analyses were used to study the effect of different bioinorganics, animal model, or phase category of CaP-based biomaterial on bone formation or material degradation. Results show that bioinorganic supplementation increases new bone formation (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 1.43 SD, confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-1.73). Additional subgroup analysis showed that strontium, magnesium and silica significantly enhanced bone formation, while zinc did not have any effect. This effect of bioinorganic supplementation on new bone formation was stronger for DCPD or β-TCP and biphasic CaPs than for HA or α-TCP (p < 0.001). In general, material degradation was slightly hindered by bioinorganic supplementation (mean difference [MD]: 0.84%, CI: 0.01-1.66), with the exception of strontium that significantly enhanced degradation. Overall, bioinorganic supplementation represents an effective approach to enhance the biological performance of CaP-based bone substitutes.

Improved bone regeneration using bone anabolic drug conjugates (C3 and C6) with deproteinized bovine bone mineral as a carrier in rat mandibular defects. J Periodontol 2020; 91:1521-1531. [PMID: 32100284 DOI: 10.1002/jper.19-0645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Revised: 01/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) has been extensively studied and used for bone regeneration in oral and maxillofacial surgery. However, it lacks an osteoinductive ability. We developed two novel bone anabolic conjugated drugs, known as C3 and C6, of an inactive bisphosphonate and a bone activating synthetic prostaglandin agonist. The aim was to investigate whether these drugs prebound to DBBM granules have the potential to achieve rapid and enhanced bone regeneration. METHODS Bilateral defects (4.3 mm diameter circular through and through) were created in mandibular angles of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were filled with DBBM Control, DBBM with C3 or DBBM with C6 (n = 8 defects per group/ each timepoint). After 2 and 4 weeks, postmortem samples were analyzed by microcomputed tomography followed by backscattering electron microscopy and histology. RESULTS DBBM grafts containing the C3 and C6 conjugated drugs showed significantly more bone formation than DBBM control at 2 and 4 weeks. The C6 containing DBBM demonstrated the highest percentage of new bone formation at 4 weeks. There was no significant difference in the percentage of the remaining graft between the different groups at 2 or 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS DBBM granules containing conjugated drugs C3 and C6 induced greater new bone volume generated and increased the bone formation rate more than the DBBM controls. This is expected to allow the development of clinical treatments that provide more predictable and improved bone regeneration for bone defect repair in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Thiolated bone and tendon tissue particles covalently bound in hydrogels for in vivo calvarial bone regeneration. Acta Biomater 2020; 104:66-75. [PMID: 31904561 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.12.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Bone regeneration of large cranial defects, potentially including traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment, presents a major problem with non-crosslinking, clinically available products due to material migration outside the defect. Commercial products such as bone cements are permanent and thus not conducive to bone regeneration, and typical commercial bioactive materials for bone regeneration do not crosslink. Our previous work demonstrated that non-crosslinking materials may be prone to material migration following surgical placement, and the current study attempted to address these problems by introducing a new hydrogel system where tissue particles are themselves the crosslinker. Specifically, a pentenoate-modified hyaluronic acid (PHA) polymer was covalently linked to thiolated tissue particles of demineralized bone matrix (TDBM) or devitalized tendon (TDVT), thereby forming an interconnected hydrogel matrix for calvarial bone regeneration. All hydrogel precursor solutions exhibited sufficient yield stress for surgical placement and an adequate compressive modulus post-crosslinking. Critical-size calvarial defects were filled with a 4% PHA hydrogel containing 10 or 20% TDBM or TDVT, with the clinical product DBXⓇ being employed as the standard of care control for the in vivo study. At 12 weeks, micro-computed tomography analysis demonstrated similar bone regeneration among the experimental groups, TDBM and TDVT, and the standard of care control DBXⓇ. The group with 10% TDBM was therefore identified as an attractive material for potential calvarial defect repair, as it additionally exhibited a sufficient initial recovery after shearing (i.e., > 80% recovery). Future studies will focus on applying a hydrogel in a rat model for treatment of TBI. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Non-crosslinking materials may be prone to material migration from a calvarial bone defect following surgical placement, which is problematic for materials intended for bone regeneration. Unfortunately, typical crosslinking materials such as bone cements are permanent and thus not conducive to bone regeneration, and typical bioactive materials for bone regeneration such as tissue matrix are not crosslinked in commercial products. The current study addressed these problems by introducing a new biomaterial where tissue particles are themselves the crosslinker in a hydrogel system. The current study successfully demonstrated a new material based on pentenoate-modified hyaluronic acid with thiolated demineralized bone matrix that is capable of rapid crosslinking, with desirable paste-like rheology of the precursor material for surgical placement, and with bone regeneration comparable to a commercially available standard-of-care product. Such a material may hold promise for a single-surgery treatment of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) following hemicraniectomy.

Abstract
Recent advances in biomaterial designing techniques offer immense support to tailor biomimetic scaffolds and to engineer the microstructure of biomaterials for triggering bone regeneration in challenging bone defects. The current review presents the different categories of recently explored strontium-integrated biomaterials, including calcium silicate, calcium phosphate, bioglasses and polymer-based synthetic implants along with their in vivo bone formation efficacies and/or in vitro cell responses. The role and significance of controlled drug release scaffold/carrier design in strontium-triggered osteogenesis was also comprehensively described. Furthermore, the effects of stem cells and growth factors on bone remodeling are also elucidated.
