Antithrombogenic polysaccharide coatings to improve hemocompatibility, protein-repellence, and endothelial cell response. iScience 2024; 27:110692.

Abstract
Polyester biomaterials play a crucial in vascular surgery, but suffer from unspecific protein adsorption, thrombogenicity, and inadequate endothelial cell response, which limit their success. To address these issues, we investigated the functionalization of polyester biomaterials with antithrombogenic polysaccharide coatings. A two-step and water-based method was used to coat cationized polycaprolactone with different sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), which resulted in long-term stability, tunable morphology, roughness, film thickness, chemical compositions, zeta potential, and water content. The coatings significantly increased the anticoagulant activity and reduced the thrombogenicity of polycaprolactone, particularly with highly sulfated heparin and cellulose sulfate. Less SPS, such as chondroitin sulfate, fucoidan, and carrageenan, despite showing reduced anticoagulant activity, also exhibited lower fibrinogen adsorption. The adhesion and viability of human primary endothelial cells cultured on modified polycaprolactone correlated with the type and sulfate content of the coatings.

Abstract
The high rate of rejection and failure of orthopedic implants is primarily attributed to incomplete osseointegration and stress at the implant-to-bone interface due to significant differences in the mechanical properties of the implant and the surrounding bone. Various surface treatments have been developed to enhance the osteoconductive properties of implants. The aim of this work was the in vitro characterization of titanium alloy modified with a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite surface layer in relative comparison to unmodified controls. This investigation focused on the behavior of the surface treatment in relation to the physiological environment. Moreover, the osteogenic response of human osteoblasts and adipose stem cells was assessed. Qualitative characterization of cellular interaction was performed via confocal laser scanning microscopy focusing on the cell nuclei and cytoskeletons. Filipodia were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The results highlight that the HA treatment promotes protein adhesion as well as gene expression of osteoblasts and stem cells, which is relevant for the inorganic and organic components of the extracellular matrix and bone. In particular, cells grown onto HA-modified titanium alloy are able to promote ECM production, leading to a high expression of collagen I and non-collagenous proteins, which are crucial for regulating mineral matrix formation. Moreover, they present an impressive amount of filipodia having long extensions all over the test surface. These findings suggest that the HA surface treatment under investigation effectively enhances the osteoconductive properties of Ti6Al4V ELI.

Abstract
Grit basting is the most common process applied to titanium dental implants to give them a roughness that favors bone colonization. There are numerous studies on the influence of roughness on osseointegration, but the influence of the compressive residual stress associated with this treatment on biological behavior has not been determined. For this purpose, four types of surfaces have been studied using 60 titanium discs: smooth, smooth with residual stress, rough without stress, and rough with residual stress. Roughness was studied by optic interferometry; wettability and surface energy (polar and dispersive components) by contact angle equipment using three solvents; and residual stresses by Bragg-Bentano X-ray diffraction. The adhesion and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels on the different surfaces were studied using Saos-2 osteoblastic cultures. The bacterial strains Streptococcus sanguinis and Lactobacillus salivarius were cultured on different surfaces, determining the adhesion. The results showed that residual stresses lead to increased hydrophilicity on the surfaces, as well as an increase in surface energy, especially on the polar component. From the culture results, higher adhesion and higher ALP levels were observed in the discs with residual stresses when compared between smooth and roughened discs. It was also found that roughness was the property that mostly influenced osteoblasts' response. Bacteria colonize rough surfaces better than smooth surfaces, but no changes are observed due to residual surface tension.

Abstract
The competitive behavior of proteins in the reversible adsorption stage plays a crucial role in determining the composition of the protein layer and the subsequent biological responses to the biomaterial. However, such competitive adsorption is a mesoscopic process at physiological protein concentration, and neither a macroscopic experiment nor microscopic MD (molecular dynamics) simulation is suitable to clarify it. Here, we proposed a mesoscopic DPD (dissipative particle dynamics) model to illustrate the competitive process of albumin and fibrinogen on TiO2 surface with its parameters deduced from our previous MD simulation, and proved the model well retained the diffusion and adsorption properties of proteins in the competitive adsorption on the plane surface. We then applied the model to the competitive adsorption on the surfaces with different nanostructures and observed that when the nanostructure size is much larger than that of protein, the increase in surface area is the main influencing factor; when the nanostructure size is close to that of protein, the coordination between the nanostructure and the size and shape of protein significantly affects the competitive adsorption process. The model has revealed many mechanical phenomena observed in previous experimental studies and has the potential to contribute to the development of high-performance biomaterials.

Abstract
Protein adsorption behavior can play a critical role in defining the outcome of a material by affecting the subsequent in vivo response to it. To date, the effect of surface properties on protein adsorption behavior has been mainly focused on surface chemistry, but research on the effect of nanoscale surface topography remains limited. In this study, the adsorption behavior of human serum albumin, immunoglobulin G, and fibrinogen in terms of the adsorbed amount and conformational changes were investigated on bare and anodized titanium (Ti) samples (40 and 60 V applied voltages). While the surface chemistry, RMS surface roughness, and arithmetic surface roughness of the anodized samples were similar, they had distinctly different nanomorphologies identified by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the surface statistical parameters, surface skewness Ssk and kurtosis Sku. The Feret pore size distribution was more uniform on the 60 V sample, and surface nanostructures were more symmetrical with higher peaks and deeper pores. On the other hand, the 40 V sample surface presented a nonuniform pore size distribution and asymmetrical surface nanostructures with lower peaks and shallower pores. The amount of surface-adsorbed protein increased on the sample surfaces in the order of Ti < 40 V < 60 V with the predominant factor affecting the amount of surface-adsorbed protein being the increased surface area attained by pore formation. The secondary structure of all adsorbed proteins deviated from that of their native counterparts. While comparing the secondary structure components of proteins on anodized surfaces, it was observed that all three proteins retained more of their secondary structure composition on the surface with more uniform and symmetrical nanofeatures than the surface having asymmetrical nanostructures. Our results suggest that the nanomorphology of the peaks and outer walls of the nanotubes can significantly influence the conformation of adsorbed serum proteins, even for surfaces having similar roughness values.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 149:213393.

Abstract
Although the construction of nanotube arrays with the micro-nano structures on the titanium surfaces has demonstrated a great promise in the field of blood-contacting materials and devices, the limited surface hemocompatibility and delayed endothelial healing should be further improved. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas signaling molecule within the physiological concentrations has excellent anticoagulation and the ability to promote endothelial growth, exhibiting the great potential for the blood-contact biomaterials, especially the cardiovascular devices. In this study, the regular titanium dioxide nanotube arrays were firstly prepared in situ on the titanium surface by anodic oxidation, followed by the immobilization of the complex of sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan (SA/CS) on the self-assembled modified nanotube surface, the CO-releasing molecule (CORM-401) was finally grafted onto the surface to create a CO-releasing bioactive surface to enhance the biocompatibility. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the CO-releasing molecules were successfully immobilized on the surface. The modified nanotube arrays not only exhibited excellent hydrophilicity but also could slowly release CO gas molecules, and the amount of CO release increased when cysteine was added. Furthermore, the nanotube array can promote albumin adsorption while inhibit fibrinogen adsorption to some extent, demonstrating its selective albumin adsorption; although this effect was somewhat reduced by the introduction of CORM-401, it can be significantly enhanced by the catalytic release of CO. The results of hemocompatibility and endothelial cell growth behaviors showed that, as compared with the CORM-401 modified sample, although the SA/CS-modified sample had better biocompatibility, in the case of cysteine-catalyzed CO release, the released CO could not only reduce the platelet adhesion and activation as well as hemolysis rate, but also promote endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO) expression. As a result, the research of the present study demonstrated that the releasing CO from TiO2 nanotubes can simultaneously enhance the surface hemocompatibility and endothelialization, which could open a new route to enhance the biocompatibility of the blood-contacting materials and devices, such as the artificial heart valve and cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
Titanium mini-implants are used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. However, these implants present problems due to the infection of surrounding tissues. The aim of this work was to obtain a polyethylene glycol (PEG) layer by plasma in order to achieve a bacteriostatic surface. Titanium surfaces were activated by argon plasma and, after, by PEG plasma with different powers (100, 150 and 200 W) for 30 and 60 min. The roughness was determined by white light interferometer microscopy and the wettability was determined by the contact angle technique. Surface chemical compositions were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cytocompatibility and cell adhesion studies were performed with fibroblast (hFFs) and osteoblast (SAOS-2) cells. Bacterial cultures with Spectrococcus Sanguinis and Lactobacillus Salivarius were performed, and bacterial colonization was determined. The results showed that plasma treatments do not affect the roughness. Plasma makes the surfaces more hydrophilic by decreasing the contact angles from 64.2° for titanium to 5.2° for argon-activated titanium, with values ranging from 12° to 25° for the different PEG treatments. The plasma has two effects: the cleaning of the surface and the formation of the PEG layer. The biocompatibility results were, for all cases, higher than 80%. The polymerization treatment with PEG reduced the adhesion of hFFs from 7000 to 6000 and, for SAOS-2, from 14,000 to 6500, for pure titanium and those treated with PEG, respectively. Bacterial adhesion was also reduced from 600 to 300 CFU/mm2 for Spetrococcuns Sanguinis and from 10,000 to 900 CFU/mm2 for Lactobacillus Salivarius. The best bacteriostatic treatment corresponded to PEG at 100 W and 30 s. As a consequence, the PEG coating would significantly prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm on the surface of titanium mini-implants.

Abstract
Biomaterial-based drug delivery systems for a controlled drug release are drawing increasing attention thanks to their possible pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. It is important to control the local administration of drugs, especially when the drug exhibits problems diffusing across biological barriers. Thus, in an appropriate concentration, it would be released in situ, reducing side effects due to interactions with the biological environment after implantation. A theoretical study based on Molecular Mechanics and Molecular Dynamics methods is performed to investigate possible surface interactions between the amorphous SiO2 surface and the ketoprofen molecules, an anti-inflammatory drug, considering the role of drug concentration. These theoretical results are compared with experimental data obtained by analyzing, through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the interaction between the SiO2 amorphous surface and two percentages of the ketoprofen drug entrapped in a silica matrix obtained via the sol–gel method and dried materials. The loaded drug in these amorphous bioactive material forms hydrogen bonds with the silica surface, as found in this theoretical study. The surface interactions are essential to have a new generation of biomaterials not only important for biocompatibility, with specific structural and functional properties, but also able to incorporate anti-inflammatory agents for release into the human body.

Abstract
Modification of the titanium (Ti) surface is widely known to influence biological reactions such as protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion in vivo, ultimately controlling osseointegration. In this study, we sought to investigate the correlation of protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion with the nanoporous structure of acid-alkali-treated Ti implants, shedding light on the modification of Ti implants to promote osseointegration. We fabricated nontreated porous Ti (NTPT) by powder metallurgy and immersed it in mixed acids and NaOH to obtain acid-alkali-treated porous Ti (AAPT). Nontreated dense sample (NTDT) served as control. Our results showed that nanopores were formed after acid-alkali treatment. AAPT showed a higher specific surface area and became much more hydrophilic than NTPT and NTDT (p < 0.001). Compared to dense samples, porous samples exhibited a lower zeta potential and higher adsorbed protein level at each time point within 120 min (p < 0.001). AAPT formed a thicker protein layer by serum precoating than NTPT and NTDT (p < 0.001). The main adsorbed proteins on AAPT and NTPT were albumin, α1 antitrypsin, transferrin, apolipoprotein A1, complement C3 and haptoglobin α1 chain. The amounts of bacteria adhering to the serum-precoated samples were lower than those adhering to the nonprecoated samples (p < 0.05). Lower-molecular-weight proteins showed higher affinity to porous Ti. In conclusion, acid-alkali treatment facilitated protein adsorption by porous Ti, and the protein coating tended to prevent bacteria from adhering. These findings may be utilized for Ti implant modification aimed at reducing bacterial adhesion and enhancing osseointegration. Graphical abstract.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:545. [PMID: 35057263 PMCID: PMC8779281 DOI: 10.3390/ma15020545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
The passivation of titanium dental implants is performed in order to clean the surface and obtain a thin layer of protective oxide (TiO2) on the surface of the material in order to improve its behavior against corrosion and prevent the release of ions into the physiological environment. The most common chemical agent for the passivation process is hydrochloric acid (HCl), and in this work we intend to determine the capacity of citric acid as a passivating and bactericidal agent. Discs of commercially pure titanium (c.p.Ti) grade 4 were used with different treatments: control (Ctr), passivated by HCl, passivated by citric acid at 20% at different immersion times (20, 30, and 40 min) and a higher concentration of citric acid (40%) for 20 min. Physical-chemical characterization of all of the treated surfaces has been carried out by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), confocal microscopy, and the 'Sessile Drop' technique in order to obtain information about different parameters (topography, elemental composition, roughness, wettability, and surface energy) that are relevant to understand the biological response of the material. In order to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the different treatments under physiological conditions, open circuit potential and potentiodynamic tests have been carried out. Additionally, ion release tests were realized by means of ICP-MS. The antibacterial behavior has been evaluated by performing bacterial adhesion tests, in which two strains have been used: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-) and Streptococcus sanguinis (Gram+). After the adhesion test, a bacterial viability study has been carried out ('Life and Death') and the number of colony-forming units has been calculated with SEM images. The results obtained show that the passivation with citric acid improves the hydrophilic character, corrosion resistance, and presents a bactericide character in comparison with the HCl treatment. The increasing of citric acid concentration improves the bactericide effect but decreases the corrosion resistance parameters. Ion release levels at high citric acid concentrations increase very significantly. The effect of the immersion times studied do not present an effect on the properties.

Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Ti6Al4V Particles Obtained by Implantoplasty: An In Vitro Study. Part II. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216519. [PMID: 34772042 PMCID: PMC8585323 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
In the field of implant dentistry there are several mechanisms by which metal particles can be released into the peri-implant tissues, such as implant insertion, corrosion, wear, or surface decontamination techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V particles released during implantoplasty of dental implants treated due to periimplantitis. A standardized protocol was used to obtain metal particles produced during polishing the surface of Ti6Al4V dental implants. Physicochemical and biological characterization of the particles were described in Part I, while the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior have been studied in this study. Mechanical properties were determined by means of nanoindentation and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical testing in an artificial saliva medium. Corrosion parameters such as critical current density (icr), corrosion potential (ECORR), and passive current density (iCORR) have been determined. The samples for electrochemical behavior were discs of Ti6Al4V as-received and discs with the same mechanical properties and internal stresses than the particles from implantoplasty. The discs were cold-worked at 12.5% in order to achieve the same properties (hardness, strength, plastic strain, and residual stresses). The implantoplasty particles showed a higher hardness, strength, elastic modulus, and lower strain to fracture and a compressive residual stress. Resistance to corrosion of the implantoplasty particles decreased, and surface pitting was observed. This fact is due to the increase of the residual stress on the surfaces which favor the electrochemical reactions. The values of corrosion potential can be achieved in normal conditions and produce corroded debris which could be cytotoxic and cause tattooing in the soft tissues.

Abstract
Surface chemistry affects the physiochemical properties of nanoparticles in a variety of ways. Therefore, there is great interest in understanding how nanoparticle surfaces evolve under different environmental conditions of pH and temperature. Here, we discuss the use of vibrational spectroscopy as a tool that allows for in situ observations of oxide nanoparticle surfaces and their evolution due to different surface processes. We highlight oxide nanoparticle surface chemistry, either engineered anthropogenic or naturally occurring geochemical nanoparticles, in complex media, with a focus on the impact of (a) pH on adsorption, intermolecular interactions, and conformational changes; (b) surface coatings and coadsorbates on protein adsorption kinetics and protein conformation; (c) surface adsorption on the temperature dependence of protein structure phase changes; and (d) the use of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy to analyze spectroscopic results for complex systems. An outlook of the field and remaining challenges is also presented.

Mineralization of Titanium Surfaces: Biomimetic Implants. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14112879.

Abstract
The surface modification by the formation of apatitic compounds, such as hydroxyapatite, improves biological fixation implants at an early stage after implantation. The structure, which is identical to mineral content of human bone, has the potential to be osteoinductive and/or osteoconductive materials. These calcium phosphates provoke the action of the cell signals that interact with the surface after implantation in order to quickly regenerate bone in contact with dental implants with mineral coating. A new generation of calcium phosphate coatings applied on the titanium surfaces of dental implants using laser, plasma-sprayed, laser-ablation, or electrochemical deposition processes produces that response. However, these modifications produce failures and bad responses in long-term behavior. Calcium phosphates films result in heterogeneous degradation due to the lack of crystallinity of the phosphates with a fast dissolution; conversely, the film presents cracks, which produce fractures in the coating. New thermochemical treatments have been developed to obtain biomimetic surfaces with calcium phosphate compounds that overcome the aforementioned problems. Among them, the chemical modification using biomineralization treatments has been extended to other materials, including composites, bioceramics, biopolymers, peptides, organic molecules, and other metallic materials, showing the potential for growing a calcium phosphate layer under biomimetic conditions.

Abstract
Engineered muscle tissues can be used for the regeneration or substitution of irreversibly damaged or diseased muscles. Recently, graphene oxide (GO) has been shown to improve the adsorption of biomolecules through its biocompatibility and intrinsic π-π interactions. The possibility of producing various GO modifications may also provide additional functionality as substrates for cell culture. In particular, substrates fabricated from pristine GO have been shown to improve cellular functions and influence stem cell differentiation. In this study, we fabricated tunable GO substrates with various physical and chemical properties and demonstrated the ability of the substrate to support myogenic differentiation. Higher cellular adhesion affinity with unique microfilament anchorage was observed for GO substrates with increased GO concentrations. In addition, amino acid (AA)-conjugated GO (GO-AA) substrates were fabricated to modify GO chemical properties and study the effects of chemically modified GO substrates on myogenic differentiation. Our findings demonstrate that minor tuning of GO significantly influences myogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have attracted increasing interest as implantable materials due to their many desirable properties. However, their blood compatibility remains an issue. In this paper, TNTs of different diameters were modified with two types of zwitterionic polymers, poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (pSBMA) and poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate) (pCBMA), which were grafted onto the TNTs using ARGET-ATRP (activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization) method. Both pSBMA and pCBMA brushes coatings were found to greatly reduce adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fibrinogen (Fib) onto the TNTs, showing excellent protein resistance. Moreover, the effects of the surface topography on the amount of protein adsorption were largely suppressed by the polyzwitterion coatings. The conformation of the protein adsorbed to the substrates was analyzed at the molecular level by Fourier-transform infrared reflection spectroscopy (FT-IR), which revealed that the BSA adsorbed on the polyzwitterion-modified TNTs adopted significantly different secondary structures from that on the virgin TNTs, whereas the conformation of the adsorbed Fib remained basically the same. The polyzwitterion-modified TNTs were found to be non-hemolytic, and platelet adhesion and activation was significantly reduced, showing excellent blood compatibility.

Abstract
TiO2 is widely used in biomaterial implants. The topography, chemical and structural properties of titania surfaces are an important aspect to study. The size of TiO2 nanoparticles synthetized by sol–gel method can influence the responses in the biological environment, and by using appropriate heat treatments different contents of different polymorphs can be formed. Protein adsorption is a crucial step for the biological responses, involving, in particular, albumin, the most abundant blood protein. In this theoretical work, using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods, the adsorption process of an albumin subdomain is reported both onto specific different crystallographic faces of TiO2 anatase and also on its ideal three-dimensional nanosized crystal, using the simulation protocol proposed in my previous theoretical studies about the adsorption process on hydrophobic ordered graphene-like or hydrophilic amorphous polymeric surfaces. The different surface chemistry of anatase crystalline faces and the nanocrystal topography influence the adsorption process, in particular the interaction strength and protein fragment conformation, then its biological activity. This theoretical study can be a useful tool to better understand how the surface chemistry, crystal structure, size and topography play a key role in protein adsorption process onto anatase surface so widely used as biomaterial.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys, specially Ti6Al4V, are among the most employed materials in orthopedic and dental implants. Cells response and osseointegration of implant devices are strongly dependent on the body-biomaterial interface zone. This interface is mainly defined by proteins: They adsorb immediately after implantation from blood and biological fluids, forming a layer on implant surfaces. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to understand which features of biomaterials surfaces influence formation of the protein layer and how to guide it. In this paper, relevant literature of the last 15 years about protein adsorption on titanium-based materials is reviewed. How the surface characteristics affect protein adsorption is investigated, aiming to provide an as comprehensive a picture as possible of adsorption mechanisms and type of chemical bonding with the surface, as well as of the characterization techniques effectively applied to model and real implant surfaces. Surface free energy, charge, microroughness, and hydroxylation degree have been found to be the main surface parameters to affect the amount of adsorbed proteins. On the other hand, the conformation of adsorbed proteins is mainly dictated by the protein structure, surface topography at the nano-scale, and exposed functional groups. Protein adsorption on titanium surfaces still needs further clarification, in particular concerning adsorption from complex protein solutions. In addition, characterization techniques to investigate and compare the different aspects of protein adsorption on different surfaces (in terms of roughness and chemistry) shall be developed.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of protein layers at the solid–liquid interface are essential in many biological processes. This study aimed to link the structural analysis of adsorbed lysozyme at the water/gold surface at pH 7.5 in a wide range of concentrations. Particular attention was paid to the protein’s structural stability and the hydration of the protein layers formed at the interface. Complementary methods such as multi-parameter surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR), quartz crystal microbalance with energy dissipation (QCM-D), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used for this purpose. The MP-SPR and QCM-D studies showed that, during the formation of a monolayer on the gold surface, the molecules’ orientation changes from side-on to end-on. In addition, bilayer formation is observed when adsorbing in the high-volume concentration range >500 ppm. The degree of hydration of the monolayer and bilayer varies depending on the degree of surface coverage. The hydration of the system decreases with filling the layer in both the monolayer and the bilayer. Hydration for the monolayer varies in the range of 50–70%, because the bilayer is much higher than 80%. The degree of hydration of the adsorption layer has a crucial influence on the protein layers’ viscoelastic properties. In general, an increase in the filling of a layer is characterized by a rise in its rigidity. The use of infrared spectroscopy allowed us to determine the changes taking place in the secondary structure of lysozyme due to its interaction with the gold surface. Upon adsorption, the content of II-structures corresponding to β-turn and random lysozyme structures increases, with a simultaneous decrease in the content of the β-sheet. The increase in the range of β-turn in the structure determines the lysozyme structure’s stability and prevents its aggregation.

Abstract
Dental clinicians have relied for centuries on traditional dental materials (polymers, ceramics, metals, and composites) to restore oral health and function to patients. Clinical outcomes for many crucial dental therapies remain poor despite many decades of intense research on these materials. Recent attention has been paid to biomolecules as a chassis for engineered preventive, restorative, and regenerative approaches in dentistry. Indeed, biomolecules represent a uniquely versatile and precise tool to enable the design and development of bioinspired multifunctional dental materials to spur advancements in dentistry. In this review, we survey the range of biomolecules that have been used across dental biomaterials. Our particular focus is on the key biological activity imparted by each biomolecule toward prevention of dental and oral diseases as well as restoration of oral health. Additional emphasis is placed on the structure-function relationships between biomolecules and their biological activity, the unique challenges of each clinical condition, limitations of conventional therapies, and the advantages of each class of biomolecule for said challenge. Biomaterials for bone regeneration are not reviewed as numerous existing reviews on the topic have been recently published. We conclude our narrative review with an outlook on the future of biomolecules in dental biomaterials and potential avenues of innovation for biomaterial-based patient oral care.

Abstract
The use of individualized titanium meshes has been referred to in scientific literature since 2011. There are many advantages to its use, however, the main complications are related to early or late exposures. As some aspects such as its surface properties have been pointed out to influence the soft tissue response, this study was designed to compare the surface characteristics of three commercially available individualized titanium meshes between them and according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The results from the scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and the contact profilometry measurements were analyzed and cross-checked. It was discovered that, the BoneEasy’s post-processing superficial treatment was more refined, as it delivers the mesh with the lowest Ra value, 0.61 ± 0.14 µm, due to the applied electropolishing. On the other hand, the Yxoss CBR® mesh from ReOss® was sandblasted, presenting an extremely rough surface with a Ra of 6.59 ± 0.76 µm.

[PMID: 32245138 PMCID: PMC7143173 DOI: 10.3390/ma13061429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The use of narrow titanium dental implants (NDI) for small ridges, reduced interdental space, or missing lateral incisors can be a viable option when compared to the conventional wider dental implants. Furthermore, in many cases, standard diameter implant placement may not be possible without grafting procedures, which increases the healing time, cost, and morbidity. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanical viability of the current narrow implants and how narrow implants can be improved. Different commercially available implants (n = 150) were tested to determine maximum strength, strain to fracture, microhardness, residual stress, and fatigue obtaining the stress-number of cycles to fracture (SN) curve. Fractography was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that when the titanium was hardened by the addition of 15% of Zr or 12% cold worked, the fatigue limit was higher than the commercially pure grade 4 Ti without hardening treatment. Grade 4 titanium without hardening treatment in narrow dental implants can present fractures by fatigue. These narrow implants are subjected to high mechanical stresses and the mechanical properties of titanium do not meet the minimal requirements, which lead to frequent fractures. New hardening treatments allow for the mechanical limitations of conventional narrow implants to be overcome in dynamic conditions. These hardening treatments allow for the design of narrow dental implants with enhanced fatigue life and long-term behavior.

Abstract
The process of modern cardiovascular device fabrication should always be associated with an investigation of how surface properties modulate its hemocompatibility through plasma protein adsorption as well as blood morphotic element activation and adhesion. In this work, a package of novel assays was used to correlate the physicochemical properties of thin ceramic coatings with hemocompatibility under dynamic conditions. Different variants of carbon-based films were prepared on polymer substrates using the magnetron sputtering method. The microstructural, mechanical, and surface physicochemical tests were performed to characterize the coatings, followed by investigation of whole human blood quality changes under blood flow conditions using the "Impact R" test, tubes' tester, and radial flow chamber assay. The applied methodology allowed us to determine that aggregate formation on hydrophobic and hydrophilic carbon-based coatings may follow one of the two different mechanisms dependent on the type and conformational changes of adsorbed blood plasma proteins.

Abstract
Understanding nanoscale protein conformational changes at solid-liquid interfaces is critical for predicting how proteins will impact the performance of biomaterials in vivo. Crowding is an important contributor to conformational stability. Here we apply single-molecule high resolution imaging with photobleaching to directly measure dye-conjugated fibronectin's unfolding in varying conditions of crowding with human serum albumin on aminosilanized glass. Using this approach, we identify serum albumin's crowding mechanism. We find that fibronectin achieves larger degrees of unfolding when not crowded by coadsorbed serum albumin. Serum albumin does not as effectively constrict fibronectin's conformation if it is sequentially, rather than simultaneously, introduced, suggesting that serum albumin's crowding mechanism is dependent on its ability to sterically block fibronectin's unfolding during the process of adsorption. Because fibronectin's conformation is dependent on interfacial macromolecular crowding under in vitro conditions, it is important to consider the role of in vivo crowding on protein activity.

Abstract
Artificial rotary molecular motors convert energy into controlled motion and drive a system out of equilibrium with molecular precision. The molecular motion is harnessed to mediate the adsorbed protein layer and then ultimately to direct the fate of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). When influenced by the rotary motion of light-driven molecular motors grafted on surfaces, the adsorbed protein layer primes hBM-MSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts, while without rotation, multipotency is better maintained. We have shown that the signaling effects of the molecular motion are mediated by the adsorbed cell-instructing protein layer, influencing the focal adhesion-cytoskeleton actin transduction pathway and regulating the protein and gene expression of hBM-MSCs. This unique molecular-based platform paves the way for implementation of dynamic interfaces for stem cell control and provides an opportunity for novel dynamic biomaterial engineering for clinical applications.

Fracture and Fatigue of Titanium Narrow Dental Implants: New Trends in Order to Improve the Mechanical Response. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12223728.

Abstract
Sixty-four fractured commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) narrow dental implants (NDIs) with similar macrogeometry and connection designs were studied after different implantation times in humans in order to determine their reliability and to evaluate the causes of the fracture. These NDIs were compared with other similar implants, made with alloyed titanium with 15% Zr and with 12% strained titanium. Original implants were tested under static and fatigue conditions, simulating the tri-axial loads in the mouth by means of a Bionix hydraulic test machine. Fractography was studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM). The results showed that cp-Ti NDI exhibits low strength for mechanical cycling, and the alloyed Ti and strained titanium increase the mechanical strength, guaranteeing long term mechanical behavior. NDIs fractured due to fatigue, and, in some cases, the presence of cracks in the original NDIs quickly led to fracture. These cracks were attributed to plastic deformation during machining were found to be exacerbated due to acid etching in the passivation process. All cases of fracture were cp-Ti dental implants due to the low fatigue limit. The results show that, when titanium is alloyed or cold-worked, the fatigue limit is higher than cp-Ti. This in vitro research will help clinicians to select a better NDI system for safer treatment.

Biofunctionalization with a TGFβ-1 Inhibitor Peptide in the Osseointegration of Synthetic Bone Grafts: An In Vivo Study in Beagle Dogs. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12193168.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine the osseointegration of two presentations of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) biomaterial—one untreated and another submitted to biofunctionalization with a TGF-β1 inhibitor peptide, P144, on dental alveolus. Materials and Methods: A synthetic bone graft was used, namely, (i) Maxresorb® (Botiss Klockner) (n = 12), and (ii) Maxresorb® (Botiss Klockner) biofunctionalized with P144 peptide (n = 12). Both bone grafts were implanted in the two hemimandibles of six beagle dogs in the same surgical time, immediately after tooth extraction. Two dogs were sacrificed 2, 4, and 8 weeks post implant insertion, respectively. The samples were submitted to histomorphometrical and histological analyses. For each sample, we quantified the new bone growth and the new bone formed around the biomaterial’s granules. After optical microscopic histological evaluation, selected samples were studied using backscattered scanning electron microscopy (BS-SEM). Results: The biofunctionalization of the biomaterial’s granules maintains a stable membranous bone formation throughout the experiment timeline, benefitting from the constant presence of vascular structures in the alveolar space, in a more active manner that in the control samples. Better results in the experimental groups were proven both by quantitative and qualitative analysis. Conclusions: Synthetic bone graft biofunctionalization results in slightly better quantitative parameters of the implant’s osseointegration. The qualitative histological and ultramicroscopic analysis shows that biofunctionalization may shorten the healing period of dental biomaterials.

Nano-scale modification of titanium implant surfaces to enhance osseointegration. Acta Biomater 2019; 94:112-131.

Abstract
The main aim of this review study was to report the state of art on the nano-scale technological advancements of titanium implant surfaces to enhance the osseointegration process. Several methods of surface modification are chronologically described bridging ordinary methods (e.g. grit blasting and etching) and advanced physicochemical approaches such as 3D-laser texturing and biomimetic modification. Functionalization procedures by using proteins, peptides, and bioactive ceramics have provided an enhancement in wettability and bioactivity of implant surfaces. Furthermore, recent findings have revealed a combined beneficial effect of micro- and nano-scale modification and biomimetic functionalization of titanium surfaces. However, some technological developments of implant surfaces are not commercially available yet due to costs and a lack of clinical validation for such recent surfaces. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are required to endorse the use of enhanced biomimetic implant surfaces. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Grit-blasting followed by acid-etching is currently used for titanium implant modifications, although recent technological biomimetic physicochemical methods have revealed enhanced osteoconductive and anti-microbial outcomes. An improvement in wettability and bioactivity of titanium implant surfaces has been accomplished by combining micro and nano-scale modification and functionalization with protein, peptides, and bioactive compounds. Such morphological and chemical modification of the titanium surfaces induce the migration and differentiation of osteogenic cells followed by an enhancement of the mineral matrix formation that accelerate the osseointegration process. Additionally, the incorporation of bioactive molecules into the nanostructured surfaces is a promising strategy to avoid early and late implant failures induced by the biofilm accumulation.

Abstract
The choice of suitable nano- and microstructures of biomaterials is crucial for successful implant integration within the human body. In particular, surface characteristics affect the adsorption of various extra cellular matrix proteins. This work illustrates the interaction of protein adsorption and early cell adhesion on bulk microstructured titanium surfaces with parallel grooves of 27 to 35 μm widths and 15 to 19 μm depths, respectively. In contact with low concentrated fibronectin solutions, distinct adsorption patterns are observed on the edges of the ridges. Moreover, NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured in serum-free medium for 1 h, 3 h, and 1 day show enhanced early cell adhesion on fibronectin coated samples compared to uncoated ones. In fact, early adhesion and cell contacts occur mainly on the groove edges where fibronectin adsorption was preferentially detected. Such adsorption patterns support cellular contact guidance on short time scales since the adsorbed fibronectin proteins acted as a chemical boundary superimposing the topographical cues of the grooved microstructure. In fibronectin-free conditions, this chemical boundary is absent after cell seeding and initial cell-surface interaction. Here, cellular fibronectin released by the fibroblasts adsorbs along the grooves after 3 h and contact guidance occurs delayed. After 1 day, cell adhesion and cell morphology on uncoated and fibronectin coated titanium microgrooves were nearly equilibrated. Thus, surface structures can promote directed adsorption of low concentrated fibronectin, which, furthermore, facilitates early cell adhesion. These results give rise to new developments in surface engineering of biomedical implants for improved osseointegration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aseptic loosening in total joint replacement due to insufficient osteointegration is an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. The purpose of the study is to obtain a picture of the initial protein adsorption layer on femoral endoprosthetic surfaces as the key to the initiation of osseointegration. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The paper describes the first study of femoral stem explants from patients for proteome analysis of the primary protein layer. After 2 min in situ, the stems are explanted and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Proteins are eluted under reducing conditions and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. RESULTS After exclusion of proteins identified by a single peptide, the implant proteome is found to consist of 2802 unique proteins. Of these, 77% are of intracellular origin, 9% are derived from the plasma proteome, 8% from the bone proteome, and four proteins with highest specificity score could be assigned to the bone marrow proteome (transcriptome). The most abundant protein in the adsorbed total protein layer is hemoglobin (8-11%) followed by serum albumin (3.6-6%). CONCLUSIONS A detailed knowledge of the initial protein film deposited onto the implants, as demonstrated here for the first time, may help to understand and predict the response of the osseous microenvironment to implant surfaces.

Abstract
Background Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely used in regenerative dentistry. Furthermore, it is often applied in the pretreatment of titanium implants to improve their surface bioaffinity and initial stability. However, effects of PRP application on implant surface at cellular and molecular levels remain poorly understood. Therefore, we examined platelet adhesion on commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) plates, with a particular focus on fibrinogen (FGN), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and fibronectin (FN), in the presence or absence of plasma components. Methods Citrated blood samples were obtained from six healthy male volunteers, and pure-PRP (P-PRP) and pure platelet suspensions in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were prepared. Platelet adhesion on cp-Ti plate surface was evaluated by phalloidin staining and tetrazolium dye assay. Distribution of FGN, vWF, FN, albumin, CD62P, and CD63 was examined by immunocytochemical analysis. Results Platelets in PBS suspensions rapidly and time-dependently adhered to cp-Ti plate surface, but this adhesion was substantially disturbed by the presence of plasma components. FGN was most preferably adsorbed regardless of the presence or absence of plasma components, while vWF and FN showed greater accumulation on platelet adhesion area. Conclusions Although FGN is rapidly and abundantly adsorbed on cp-Ti plate surface, vWF and FN function as major platelet adhesion molecules in citrated blood samples. After pretreatment with P-PRP, however, platelets adhered to cp-Ti much less efficiently. Therefore, P-PRP pretreatment might not directly contribute to surface functionalization, initial stabilization, and osseointegration of machined or similar types of implants.

Abstract
An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) was used to examine the electrochemical behaviour of pure titanium in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and PBS-containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) solutions, and the associated adsorption characteristics of BSA under cathodic and anodic applied potentials. It was found that the electrochemical behaviours of bulk titanium substrate and titanium-coated QCM sensors are slightly different in PBS buffer solution, which is attributed to the difference in their surface roughness. The oxide film formed on the surface of the QCM sensor during potentiostatic tests was found to affect its electrochemical behaviour, while cathodic cleaning is not sufficient to have it removed. Lastly, the excessive amount of electrons on the titanium surface upon application of a cathodic potential could result in the desorption of BSA due to electrostatic repulsion and protein dehydration. In contrast, application of anodic potential charges the titanium surface positively and can facilitate protein adsorption when the surface is not saturated with protein. An EQCM was used to examine the electrochemical behaviour of pure titanium in PBS and PBS-containing BSA solutions, and the associated adsorption characteristics of BSA under cathodic and anodic applied potentials.![]()

Abstract
The Quartz Crystal Microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) is a tool to measure mass and viscosity in processes occurring at or near surfaces, or within thin films. QCM-D is able to detect extremely small chemical, mechanical, and electrical changes taking place on the sensor surface and to convert them into electrical signals which can be investigated to study dynamic process. Surface nanotopography and chemical composition are of pivotal importance in biomedical applications since interactions of medical devices with the physiological environment are mediated by surface features. This review is intended to provide readers with an up-to-date summary of QCM-D applications in the study of cell behavior and to discuss the future trends for the use of QCM-D as a high-throughput method to study cell/surface interactions overcoming the current challenges in the design of biomedical devices.

Abstract
Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures, physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past decade, investment in research on materials such as ZnO, TiO2, SiO2, and GeO2 has significantly increased. Besides traditional approaches, the synthesis, shaping, structural patterning, and postprocessing chemical functionalization of the materials surface is inspired by strategies which mimic processes in nature. Would such materials deliver new technologies? Answering this question requires the merging of historical knowledge and current research from different fields of science. Practically, we need an effective defragmentation of the research area. From our perspective, the superficial accounting of material properties, chemistry of the surfaces, and the behavior of biomolecules next to such surfaces is a problem. This is particularly of concern when we wish to bridge between technologies in vitro and biotechnologies in vivo. Further, besides the potential practical technological efficiency and advantages such materials might exhibit, we have to consider the wider long-term implications of material stability and toxicity. In this contribution, we present a critical review of recent advances in the chemistry and engineering of MO-based biocomposites, highlighting the role of interactions at the interface and the techniques by which these can be studied. At the end of the article, we outline the challenges which hamper progress in research and extrapolate to developing and promising directions including additive manufacturing and synthetic biology that could benefit from molecular level understanding of interactions occurring between inanimate (abiotic) and living (biotic) materials.

Abstract
Titanium dental implants are commonly used due to their biocompatibility and biochemical properties; blasted acid-etched Ti is used more frequently than smooth Ti surfaces. In this study, physico-chemical characterisation revealed important differences in roughness, chemical composition and hydrophilicity, but no differences were found in cellular in vitro studies (proliferation and mineralization). However, the deposition of proteins onto the implant surface might affect in vivo osseointegration. To test that hypothesis, protein layers formed on discs of both surface type after incubation with human serum were analysed. Using mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), 218 proteins were identified, 30 of which were associated with bone metabolism. Interestingly, Apo E, antithrombin and protein C adsorbed mostly onto blasted and acid-etched Ti, whereas the proteins of the complement system (C3) were found predominantly on smooth Ti surfaces. These results suggest that physico-chemical characteristics could be responsible for the differences observed in the adsorbed protein layer.

Abstract
Porous titanium is a kind of promising material for bone substitution, while its bio-inert property results in demand of modifications to improve the osteointegration capacity. In this study, gelatin (Gel) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) were used to construct 3D micro-scaffolds in the pores of porous titanium in the ratios of Gel:nHA = 1:0, Gel:nHA = 1:1, and Gel:nHA = 1:3, respectively. Cell attachment and proliferation, and gene and protein expression levels of osteogenic markers were evaluated in MC3T3-E1 cells, followed by bone regeneration assessment in a rabbit radius defect model. All hybrid scaffolds with different composition ratio were found to have significant promotional effects in cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, in which the group with Gel:nHA = 1:1 showed the best performance in vitro, as well as the most bone regeneration volume in vivo. This 3D micro-scaffolds modification may be an innovative method for porous titanium ornamentation and shows potential application values in clinic.

Abstract
Since metallic biomaterials used for bone replacement possess low bioactivity, the use of cell adhesive moieties is a common strategy to improve cellular response onto these surfaces. In recent years, the use of recombinant proteins has emerged as an alternative to native proteins and short peptides owing to the fact that they retain the biological potency of native proteins, while improving their stability. In the present study, we investigated the biological effect of two different recombinant fragments of fibronectin, spanning the 8-10th and 12-14th type III repeats, covalently attached to a new TiNbHf alloy using APTES silanization. The fragments were studied separately and mixed at different concentrations and compared to a linear RGD, a cyclic RGD and the full-length fibronectin protein. Cell culture studies using rat mesenchymal stem cells demonstrated that low to medium concentrations (30% and 50%) of type III 8-10th fragment mixed with type III 12-14th fragment stimulated cell spreading and proliferation compared to RGD peptides and the fragments separately. On the other hand, type III 12-14th fragment alone or mixed at low volume percentages ≤50% with type III 8-10th fragment increased alkaline phosphatase levels compared to the other molecules. These results are significant for the understanding of the role of fibronectin recombinant fragments in cell responses and thus to design bioactive coatings for biomedical applications.

Abstract
This study is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in the improved in vitro and in vivo responses of osteoblasts on poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (poly(NaSS)) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. We probed the contribution of cell-adhesive glycoproteins fibronectin (Fn) and vitronectin (Vn) in the initial adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to poly(NaSS) functionalized and control Ti6Al4V surfaces. Firstly, culture media containing serum depleted of Fn and Vn (DD) were used to establish the contribution of Fn and Vn in the adhesion and spreading of cells on poly(NaSS) grafted and control surfaces. Compared to ungrafted surfaces, poly(NaSS) grafted surfaces enhanced the levels of cell adhesion, cell spreading and the formation of intracellular actin cytoskeleton and focal contacts in serum treatments where Fn or Vn were present (FBS, DD+Fn, DD+Vn). Cell responses to Fn were more significant than to Vn. Secondly, blocking Fn and Vn integrin receptors using antibodies to α5β1 (Fn) and αvβ1 (Vn) showed that adhesion of cells to poly(NaSS) grafted surfaces principally involved the Fn integrin receptor α5β1. Thirdly, blocking of the heparin and cell-binding regions of Fn molecule (RGD, C-HB, N-HB) showed that grafting with poly(NaSS) altered the conformation of Fn. Together these outcomes explained why the presence of sulfonate (SO3(-)) groups grafted on the Ti6Al4V surface enhanced the early cell adhesion and spreading processes which determine clinical success for applications that require osseointegration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This study is devoted to the basic analysis of the mechanism at the origin of the improved in vitro and in vivo osteoblast cell responses exhibited by poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (poly(NaSS)) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. The aim was to probe the contribution of cell adhesive glycoproteins fibronectin and vitronectin in the initial adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to poly(NaSS) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. The outcomes of this research explained why the presence of SO3(-) (sulfonate) groups grafted on the Ti6Al4V surface enhanced the early cell adhesion and spreading processes which determine clinical success for applications that require osseointegration. This work is a step further in the research of poly(NaSS), a very promising bioactive polymer with potential to the orthopedic and dental fields.

Abstract
The research developed on functionalized model or prosthetic surfaces with bioactive polymers has raised the possibility to modulate and/or control the biological in vitro and in vivo responses to synthetic biomaterials. The mechanisms underlying the bioactivity exhibited by sulfonated groups on surfaces involves both selective adsorption and conformational changes of adsorbed proteins. Indeed, surfaces functionalized by grafting poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) [poly(NaSS)] modulate the cellular and bacterial response by inducing specific interactions with fibronectin (Fn). Once implanted, a biomaterial surface is exposed to a milieu of many proteins that compete for the surface which dictates the subsequent biological response. Once understood, this can be controlled by dictating exposure of active binding sites. In this in vitro study, we report the influence of binary mixtures of proteins [albumin (BSA), Fn and collagen type I (Col I)] adsorbed on poly(NaSS) grafted Ti6Al4V on the adhesion and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells and the adhesion and proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Outcomes showed that poly(NaSS) stimulated cell spreading, attachment strength, differentiation and mineralization, whatever the nature of protein provided at the interface compared with ungrafted Ti6Al4V (control). While in competition, Fn and Col I were capable of prevailing over BSA. Fn played an important role in the early interactions of the cells with the surface, while Col I was responsible for increased alkaline phosphatase, calcium and phosphate productions associated with differentiation. Poly(NaSS) grafted surfaces decreased the adhesion of S. aureus and the presence of Fn on these chemically altered surfaces increased bacterial resistance ≈70% compared to the ungrafted Ti6Al4V. Overall, our study showed that poly(NaSS) grafted Ti6Al4V selectively adsorbed proteins (particularly Fn) promoting the adhesion and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells while reducing bacterial adhesion to create a bioactive surface with potential for orthopaedic applications.

Abstract
The fibronectin fragment, 9th-10th-type III domains (FIII9-10), mediates cell attachment and spreading and is commonly investigated as a bioadhesive interface for implant materials such as titania (TiO2). How the extent of the cell attachment-spreading response is related to the nature of the adsorbed protein layer is largely unknown. Here, the layer thickness and surface fraction of two FIII9-10 mutants (both protonated and deuterated) adsorbed to TiO2 were determined over concentrations used in cell adhesion assays. Unexpectedly, the isotopic forms had different adsorption behaviours. At solution concentrations of 10 mg l(-1), the surface fraction of the less conformationally stable mutant (FIII9'10) was 42% for the deuterated form and 19% for the protonated form (fitted to the same monolayer thickness). Similarly, the surface fraction of the more stable mutant (FIII9'10-H2P) was 34% and 18% for the deuterated and protonated forms, respectively. All proteins showed a transition from monolayer to bilayer between 30 and 100 mg l(-1), with the protein longitudinal orientation moving away from the plane of the TiO2 surface at high concentrations. Baby hamster kidney cells adherent to TiO2 surfaces coated with the proteins (100 mg l(-1)) showed a strong spreading response, irrespective of protein conformational stability. After surface washing, FIII9'10 and FIII9'10-H2P bilayer surface fractions were 30/25% and 42/39% for the lower/upper layers, respectively, implying that the cell spreading response requires only a partial protein surface fraction. Thus, we can use neutron reflectivity to inform the coating process for generating bioadhesive TiO2 surfaces.

Abstract
The present work is a revision of the processes occurring in osseointegration of titanium dental implants according to different types of surfaces -namely, polished surfaces, rough surfaces obtained from subtraction methods, as well as the new hydroxyapatite biomimetic surfaces obtained from thermochemical processes. Hydroxyapatite’s high plasma-projection temperatures have proven to prevent the formation of crystalline apatite on the titanium dental implant, but lead to the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (i.e., with no crystal structure) instead. This layer produce some osseointegration yet the calcium phosphate layer will eventually dissolve and leave a gap between the bone and the dental implant, thus leading to osseointegration failure due to bacterial colonization. A new surface -recently obtained by thermochemical processes- produces, by crystallization, a layer of apatite with the same mineral content as human bone that is chemically bonded to the titanium surface. Osseointegration speed was tested by means of minipigs, showing bone formation after 3 to 4 weeks, with the security that a dental implant can be loaded. This surface can be an excellent candidate for immediate or early loading procedures.
Key words:Dental implants, implants surfaces, osseointegration, biomimetics surfaces.

Abstract
Nowadays, one of the main challenges in metal implants for bone substitution is the achievement of an elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone as well as to provide an adequate interaction with the surrounding tissue avoiding in vivo foreign body reaction. From this perspective, a new Ti-based alloy has been developed with Nb and Hf as alloying elements which are known as non-toxic and with good corrosion properties. The microstructure, mechanical behaviour and the physicochemical properties of this novel titanium alloy have been studied. Relationship of surface chemistry and surface electric charge with protein adsorption and cell adhesion has been evaluated due to its role for understanding the mechanism of biological interactions with tissues. The Ti25Nb21Hf alloy presented a lower elastic modulus than commercial alloys with a superior ultimate strength and yield strength than CP-Ti and very close to Ti6Al4V. It also exhibited good corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the results revealed that it had no cytotoxic effect on rat mesenchymal stem cells and allowed protein adsorption and cell adhesion. The experimental results make this alloy a promising material for bone substitution or for biomedical devices.
