Biomed Eng Online 2024; 23:36. [PMID: 38504231 PMCID: PMC10953093 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-024-01223-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The reduced treatment time of dental implants with immediate loading protocol is an appealing solution for dentists and patients. However, there remains a significant risk of early peri-implant bone response following the placement of immediately loaded implants, and limited information is available regarding loading directions and the associated in vivo characteristics of peri-implant bone during the early stages. This study aimed to investigate the effects of immediate loading directionality on the expression of mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 and the healing process of peri-implant bone in the early stage. METHODS Thirty-two implants were inserted into the goat iliac crest models with 10 N static lateral immediate loading applied, followed by histological, histomorphological, immunohistochemical, X-ray microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy evaluations conducted after 10 days. RESULTS From evaluations at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels, it was observed that the expression of mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 in peri-implant bone was significantly higher in the compressive side compared to the tensile side. This finding coincided with trends observed in interfacial bone extracellular matrix (ECM) contact percentage, bone mass, and new bone formation. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a novel insight into the immediate loading directionality as a potential influence factor for dental implant treatments by demonstrating differential effects on the mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 expression and related early-stage healing processes of peri-implant bone. Immediate loading directions serve as potential therapeutic influence factors for peri-implant bone during its early healing stage.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e23779. [PMID: 38223705 PMCID: PMC10784177 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
As implantable materials, titanium, and its alloys have garnered enormous interest from researchers for dental and orthopedic procedures. Despite their success in wide clinical applications, titanium, and its alloys fail to stimulate osteogenesis, resulting in poor bonding strength with surrounding bone tissue. Optimizing the surface topology and altered compositions of titanium and titanium-based alloys substantially promotes peri-implant bone regeneration. This review summarizes the utilization and importance of various osteogenesis components loaded onto titanium and its alloys. Further, different surface-modification methods and the release efficacy of loaded substances are emphasized. Finally, we summarize the article with prospects. We believe that further investigation studies must focus on identifying novel loading components, exploring various innovative, optimized surface-modification methods, and developing a sustained-release system on implant surfaces to improve peri-implant bone formation.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213631. [PMID: 37757645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the properties of the micro/nano composite structure on the surface of high oxygen concentration titanium (HOC-Ti) after anodic oxidation modification (HOC-NT) and evaluated its biocompatibility as a dental implant material in vitro and in vivo. HOC-Ti was produced by titanium powders and rutile powders using the powder metallurgy method. Its surface was modified by anodic oxidation. After detecting the electrochemical characteristics, the surface properties of HOC-NT were investigated. MC3T3 and MLO-Y4 cells were employed to evaluate the biocompatibility of HOC-NT and cocultured to study the effects of the changes in osteocytes induced by HOC-NT on osteoblasts. While, its possible mechanism was investigated. In addition, osseointegration around the HOC-NT implant was investigated through in vivo experiments. The results showed that a unique micronano composite structure on the HOC-Ti surface with excellent hydrophilicity and suitable surface roughness was created after anodic oxidation promoted by its electrochemical characteristics. The YAP protein may play an important role in regulating bone remodeling by β-catenin and Rankl/OPG Signaling Pathways. An in vivo study also revealed an accelerated formation rate of new bone and more stable osseointegration around the HOC-NT implant. In view of all experimental results, it could be concluded that the unique morphology of HOC-NT has enhanced physicochemical and biological properties. The promotion of bone formation around implants indicated the feasibility of HOC-NT for applications in oral implants.

Abstract
The study aimed to assess the biocompatibility and efficacy of a prostatic urethral lift (PUL) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Human BPH-1 cells were co-cultured with implant anchors and sutures, and cytotoxicity was measured. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe adhesion and growth of cells and to evaluate implant biocompatibility. Fifteen male beagle dogs were randomly assigned to the surgical (n = 9) or sham-operated (n = 6) groups. The surgical group underwent cystotomy, and PUL was used to insert two implants in each lobe of the prostate to compress the enlarged prostate and dilate the urethra; the sham group underwent cystotomy without implant insertion. Compared with the control group, no significant difference in cell viability among the groups with different co-culture times of implant anchors and sutures (P > 0.05) was observed. SEM revealed good adhesion and growth of prostate cells on the implants. Improvements in urine flow rates remained stable at 7, 28, and 180 days after surgery, and the urethral diameter in the prostate region was significantly increased compared with that before surgery. PUL is a biocompatible and effective treatment for BPH, improving the urine flow rate without causing inflammation, tissue damage, or cytotoxic effects. Here, the basis for further PUL application was provided.

Abstract
The cementum is the outermost layer of hard tissue covering the dentin within the root portion of the teeth. It is the only hard tissue with a specialized structure and function that forms a part of both the teeth and periodontal tissue. As such, cementum is believed to be critical for periodontal tissue regeneration. In this review, we discuss the function and histological structure of the cementum to promote crystal engineering with a biochemical approach in cementum regenerative medicine. We review the microstructure of enamel and bone while discussing the mechanism underlying apatite crystal formation to infer the morphology of cementum apatite crystals and their complex structure with collagen fibers. Finally, the limitations of the current dental implant treatments in clinical practice are explored from the perspective of periodontal tissue regeneration. We anticipate the possibility of advancing periodontal tissue regenerative medicine via cementum regeneration using a combination of material science and biochemical methods.

Abstract
With the continuous progress and development in biomedicine, metallic biomedical materials have attracted significant attention from researchers. Due to the low compatibility of traditional metal implant materials with the human body, it is urgent to develop new biomaterials with excellent mechanical properties and appropriate biocompatibility to solve the adverse reactions caused by long-term implantation. High entropy alloys (HEAs) are nearly equimolar alloys of five or more elements, with huge compositional design space and excellent mechanical properties. In contrast, biological high-entropy alloys (Bio-HEAs) are expected to be a new bio-alloy for biomedicine due to their excellent biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties. This review summarizes the composition system of Bio-HEAs in recent years, introduces their biocompatibility and mechanical properties of human bone adaptation, and finally puts forward the following suggestions for the development direction of Bio-HEAs: to improve the theory and simulation studies of Bio-HEAs composition design, to quantify the influence of composition, process, post-treatment on the performance of Bio-HEAs, to focus on the loss of Bio-HEAs under actual service conditions, and it is hoped that the clinical application of the new medical alloy Bio-HEAs can be realized as soon as possible.

Abstract
Medical metal implants are required to have excellent mechanical properties and high biocompatibility to handle the complex human environment, which is a challenge that has always existed for traditional medical metal materials. Compared to traditional medical alloys, high entropy alloys (HEAs) have a higher design freedom to allow them to carry more medical abilities to suit the human service environment, such as low elastic modulus, high biocompatible elements, potential shape memory capability. In recent years, many studies have pointed out that bio-HEAs, as an emerging medical alloy, has reached or even surpassed traditional medical alloys in various medical properties. In this review, we summarized the recent reports on novel bio-HEAs for medical implants and divide them into two groups according the properties, namely mechanical properties and biocompatibility. These new bio-HEAs are considered hallmarks of a historic shift representative of a new medical revolution.

Abstract
The pore strategy is one of the important factors affecting the biomedical porous scaffold at the same porosity. In this work, porous scaffolds were designed based on the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure under the same porosity and different pore strategies (pore size and size continuous gradient distribution) and were successfully prepared using a novel Ni46.5Ti44.5Nb9 alloy and selective laser melting (SLM) technology. After that, the effects of the pore strategies on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and permeability of porous scaffolds were systematically investigated. The results showed that the Ni46.5Ti44.5Nb9 scaffolds have a low elastic modulus (0.80–1.05 GPa) and a high ductility (15.3–19.1%) compared with previous works. The pore size has little effect on their mechanical properties, but increasing the pore size significantly improves the permeability due to the decrease in specific surfaces. The continuous gradient distribution of the pore size changes the material distribution of the scaffold, and the smaller porosity structure has a better load-bearing capacity and contributes primarily to the high compression strength. The local high porosity structure bears more fluid flow, which can improve the permeability of the overall scaffold. This work can provide theoretical guidance for the design of porous scaffolds.
