Abstract
Magnesium-based coatings have attracted great attention in surface modification of titanium implants due to their superior angiogenic and osteogenic properties. However, their biological effects as a carbonate-based constituent remain unrevealed. In this study, magnesium carbonate coatings were prepared on titanium surfaces under hydrothermal conditions and subsequently treated with hydrogen peroxide. Also, their antibacterial activity and in vitro cell biocompatibility were evaluated. The obtained coatings consisted of nanoparticles without cracks and exhibited excellent adhesion to the substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated pure magnesium carbonate coatings formed on the Ti surface after hydrothermal treatment. After hydrogen peroxide treatment, the phase composition of the coatings had no obvious change. Compared to the untreated coatings, the hydrogen peroxide-treated coatings showed increased surface roughness and hydrophilicity. Co-culture with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) demonstrated that the obtained coatings had good antibacterial activity. In vitro cell culture results showed that the hydrogen peroxide-treated coatings enhanced the viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). These findings suggest that this MgCO3-based coating exhibits excellent antibacterial performance and osteogenic potential. Based on the above, this study provides a simple method for preparing titanium implants with dual antibacterial and osteogenic capabilities, holding great promise in clinical applications.

Madiwal V, Khairnar B, Rajwade J. Enhanced antibacterial activity and superior biocompatibility of cobalt-deposited titanium discs for possible use in implant dentistry. iScience 2024; 27:108827. [PMID: 38303692 PMCID: PMC10831949 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.108827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The clinical success of implants depends on rapid osseointegration, and new materials are being developed considering the increasing demand. Considering cobalt (Co) antibacterial characteristics, we developed Co-deposited titanium (Ti) using direct current (DC) sputtering and investigated it as a new material for implant dentistry. The material was characterized using atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The material's surface topography, roughness, surface wettability, and hardness were also analyzed. The Co thin film (Ti-Co15) showed excellent antibacterial effects against microbes implicated in peri-implantitis. Furthermore, Ti-Co15 was compatible and favored the attachment and spreading of MG-63 cells. The alkaline phosphatase and calcium mineralization activities of MG-63 cells cultured on Ti-Co15 remained unaltered compared to Ti. These data correlated well with the time-dependent expression of ALP, RUNX-2, and BMP-2 genes involved in osteogenesis. The results demonstrate that Co-deposited Ti could be a promising material in implant dentistry.

Abstract
For the first time, the interaction of the Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and Chitosan (CH) with Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanotube was studied using density functional theory (DFT). The binding energies of the most stable configurations of PLGA and CH monomers absorbed on ZrO2 were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) methods. The obtained results indicate that both CH and PLGA monomers were chemisorbed on the surface of ZrO2. The interaction between PLGA and ZrO2 is stronger than that of CH due to its shorter equilibrium interval and higher binding energy. In addition, the electronic density of states (DOS) of the most stable configuration was computed to estimate the electronic properties of the PLGA/CH absorbed on ZrO2. Also, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were computed to investigate the mechanical properties of all studied compounds in individual and nanocomposite phases. MD simulation revealed that the shear and bulk moduli of PLGA, CH as well as Young's modulus increase upon interacting with the ZrO2 surface. As a result, the mechanical properties of PLGA and CH are improved by adding ZrO2 to the polymer matrix. The results showed that the elastic modulus of PLGA and CH nanocomposites decreased with increasing temperature. These findings indicate that PLGA-ZrO2 nanocomposites have mechanical and thermal properties, suggesting that they could be exploited as potential agents in biomedical sectors such as bone tissue engineering and drug delivery.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Fluoride-modified implant surfaces improves osseointegration in the tibias of rats with induced diabetes. Braz Dent J 2023; 34:43-52.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of a fluoride-modified titanium surface on osseointegration in rats with induced diabetes. One hundred and eighty rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 60 animals each: Control group (C): Animals without diabetes; Diabetes Group (D): Animals with uncontrolled induced diabetes; Controlled Diabetes Group (CD): Animals with diabetes induced controlled by the insulin administration. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin injection. Each animal received 2 implants in the proximal tibial metaphysis, one with the machined surface (M) and the other one with a fluoride-modified titanium surface (F), after 4 weeks of induction of diabetes. The animals were submitted to euthanasia 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the implant placement (n = 20 animals/group). The osseointegration was evaluated by the implant removal torque test and the histometric analysis of the non-decalcified histological sections: 1) Contact bone/implant (%BIC); 2) Bone tissue area between implant threads (%BBT). Implants with F surface showed a higher removal torque than implants with surface M in all groups. There was no difference in %BIC between the groups regardless of the surface used. The F surface showed a tendency to present higher %BBT values for the 3 evaluation periods in the D group. The fluoride-modified implant surface has no impact on the %BIC and %BBT. However, the fluoride-modified implant surface increases the locking of the implants with the bone. The hyperglycemia was associated with lower removal torque values despite the surfaces of the implant used.

Biodegradable Mg-Sc-Sr Alloy Improves Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis to Accelerate Bone Defect Restoration. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040261.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are considered to be biodegradable metallic biomaterials for potential orthopedic implants. While the osteogenic properties of Mg alloys have been widely studied, few reports focused on developing a bifunctional Mg implant with osteogenic and angiogenic properties. Herein, a Mg-Sc-Sr alloy was developed, and this alloy's angiogenesis and osteogenesis effects were evaluated in vitro for the first time. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and metallography images were used to evaluate the microstructure of the developed Mg-Sc-Sr alloy. Human umbilical vein/vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to evaluate the angiogenic character of the prepared Mg-Sc-Sr alloy. A mix of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs) and HUVEC cell cultures were used to assess the osteogenesis-stimulating effect of Mg-Sc-Sr alloy through alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Von Kossa staining. Higher ALP activity and the number of calcified nodules (27% increase) were obtained for the Mg-Sc-Sr-treated groups compared to Mg-treated groups. In addition, higher VEGF expression (45.5% increase), tube length (80.8% increase), and number of meshes (37.9% increase) were observed. The Mg-Sc-Sr alloy showed significantly higher angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation than pure Mg and the control group, suggesting such a composition as a promising candidate in bone implants.

Abstract
The metabolization of carbohydrates by Streptococcus mutans leads to the formation of lactic acid in the oral cavity, which can consequently accelerate the degradation of dental implants fabricated from commercially available microcrystalline Ti. Microstructure influences surface topography and hence interaction between bacteria cells and Ti surfaces. This work offers the first description of the effect of S. mutans on the surface topography and properties of nanostructured bulk Ti, which is a promising candidate for modern narrow dental implants owing to its superior mechanical strength. It was found that S. mutans incubation resulted in the slight, unexpected decrease of surface nanoroughness, which was previously developed owing to privileged oxidation in areas of closely spaced boundaries. However, despite the changes in nanoscale surface topography, bacteria incubation did not reduce the high level of protection afforded by the oxide layer formed on the nanostructured Ti surface. The results highlight the need–hitherto ignored–to consider Ti microstructure when analyzing its behavior in the presence of carbohydrate-metabolizing bacteria.

Abstract
Metallic materials have been widely used as orthopedic implants in clinics for their good mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, but their slow osseointegration rate is still one of the main issues causing implantation failure. Grain refinement has recently attracted wide attention for its effective improvement of cell–material interaction for biometals. In this review, the surface and bulk grain refinement mode and the influence of grain size reduction of various metallic materials including titanium, stainless steel, magnesium, zirconium, tantalum, and their alloys as well as NiTi shape memory alloys on the cell responses is summarized in detail. It is hoped that this review could help biomaterials-related researchers to understand the grain refinement of metallic materials in a timely manner, thus boosting the development of biomedical metals for clinical use.

Abstract
Zirconia (ZrO2) has been widely used in clinical applications, such as bone and dental implantation, because of its favorable mechanical properties and resistance to fracture. However, the poor cell affinity of ZrO2 for bone regeneration and tissue binding, as well as its shrinkage due to crystal phase transformation during heat treatment, limits its clinical use and processing plasticity. This study aims to investigate an appropriate ZrO2–SiO2 composite recipe for ceramic 3D printing processes that can strike a balance between the mechanical properties and cell affinity needed in clinical applications. Specimens with different ZrO2–SiO2 composite recipes were fabricated by a selective laser gelling method and sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1500 °C. The S5Z5 composite, which consists of 50 wt% ZrO2, 35 wt% SiO2 and 15 wt% SiO2 sol, showed an appropriate compressive strength and bending strength of 82.56 MPa and 55.98 MPa, respectively, at a sintering temperature of 1300 °C. The shrinkage rate of the S5Z5 composite was approximately 5% when the sintering temperature was increased from 900 to 1500 °C. All composites exhibited no cytotoxicity after 144 h of MG63 cell incubation, and the S5Z5 composite exhibited the most obvious cell affinity among the composite recipes. From these results, compared with other composites, the S5Z5 composite was shown to possess mechanical properties and a cell affinity more comparable to those of natural human bone.

Abstract
Ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure formation in Ti alloys, by severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing and enhancement of their mechanical properties, including fatigue properties, has been demonstrated in numerous studies in the past 20 years. The present overview analyzes the fatigue properties achieved to date in Ti alloys subjected to SPD. Such aspects are examined as the effect of a UFG structure on the fatigue behavior of commercially pure (CP) Ti, two-phase Ti alloys, using the popular Ti-6Al-4V alloy as an example, as well as on the kinetics and mechanisms of fatigue failure. The prospects and problems of the practical application of UFG Ti materials in medicine and aircraft engine construction are discussed.

Abstract
β-type titanium (Ti) alloys have been extensively investigated as orthopedic implant materials due to their unique combination of low elastic modulus, high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In this study the mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, friction and wear performance, and cytotoxicity of β-type Ti-24Nb-38Zr-2Mo (TNZM) and Ti-24Nb-38Zr-2Mo-0.1Sc (TNZMS) have been comparatively investigated for orthopedic applications. Cold-rolling (CR) and cold-rolling plus solution-treatment (CR+ST) were performed on the as-cast (AC) alloys and their microstructures and material properties were characterized. The impact of Sc addition on the mechanical and corrosion properties, friction and wear behavior, and in vitro cytocompatibility of the TNZMS alloy was assessed. The CR+ST TNZMS alloy exhibited the best combination of properties among all the alloy samples, with a yield strength of 780 MPa, ultimate strength of 809 MPa, elongation of 19%, Young's modulus of 65.4 GPa, and hardness of 265 HV. Electrochemical testing in Hanks' Solution indicated that the CR+ST TNZMS sample also showed the highest corrosion resistance with a corrosion potential of -0.234 V, corrosion current density of 0.07 µA/cm2, and corrosion rate of 1.2 µm/y. Friction and wear testing revealed that the TNZMS alloy showed higher wear resistance compared to the TNZM alloy and the wear resistance of the different samples was ranked CR > CR+ST > AC. Finally, both the CR+ST TNZM and TNZMS showed no-cytotoxicity towards MG-63 cells and the TNZMS exhibited slightly higher cytocompatibility than the TNZM alloy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This work reports the β-type Ti-24Nb-38Zr-2Mo (TNZM) and Ti-24Nb-38Zr-2Mo-0.1Sc (TNZMS) alloys fabricated by as-cast (AC), cold-rolling (CR), and cold-rolling plus solution-treatment (CR+ST) for potential orthopedic applications. The experimental results showed that the TNZMS alloy exhibited significantly enhanced mechanical, wear, and corrosion properties than those of TNZM alloy; and the CR+ST TNZMS possess a unique combination of the best mechanical and corrosion properties including a yield strength of 780 MPa, ultimate strength of 809 MPa, elongation of 19%, Young's modulus of 65.4 GPa, and corrosion rate of 1.2 µm/y in Hanks' Solution. Both the CR+ST TNZM and TNZMS alloys exhibited non-cytotoxicity towards MG-63 cells and TNZMS showed a higher cytocompatibility than that of TNZM.

Abstract
Solid-state recycling is a direct conversion method for producing metal chips, whereas the materials are plastically deformed into the final product without melting, offering lower energy consumption and metal waste. This technique was reported for fabricating aluminium-zirconium oxide (Al-ZrO2) composite and it was widely used to avoid metal chips bounding at high temperatures during the extrusion process. Aluminium alloy (AA7075) is known for its high yield strength of more than 500 MPa under optimum ageing conditions. However, AA7075 can be further reinforced by zirconium oxide nanoparticles when needed for high-performance applications. Hot extrusion is used to obtain better mechanical properties of composite materials. The equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), a severe plastic deformation technique, was recently used to produce bulk and light recycled metal chips, such as porosity-free and ultra-fine-grained aluminium nanocomposites (ANCs). Heat treatments (HT) and ECAP post hot extrusion are mostly incorporated to improve tribological and mechanical properties and aluminium nanocomposite bonding efficiency. In this review, ANCs’ fabrication by the hot extrusion technique and the effects of ZrO2 nanoparticle are duly summarised and discussed. Furthermore, this review emphasises the importance of using HT and ECAP techniques to acquire better metal alloy incorporation, such as AA7075-ZrO2. Interestingly, owing to the lightweight properties and superior performance of AA7075-ZrO2, it was reported to be suitable for fabricating many drones’ parts, military equipment, and some other promising applications.

Abstract
In this work, we study the influence of the surface properties of ultrafine grained (UFG) and coarse grained (CG) titanium on the morphology, viability, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. Wet chemical etching in H2SO4/H2O2 and NH4OH/H2O2 solutions was used for producing surfaces with varying morphology, topography, composition and wettability. The topography and morphology have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The composition was determined by time of flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that it is possible to obtain samples with different compositions, hydrophilicity, topography and nanoscale or/and microscale structures by changing the etching time and the type of etching solution. It was found that developed topography and morphology can improve spreading and proliferation rate of MG-63 cells. A significant advantage of the samples of the UFG series in comparison with CG in adhesion, proliferation at later stages of cultivation (7 days), higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and faster achievement of its maximum values was found. However, there is no clear benefit of the UFG series on osteopontin (OPN) expression. All studied samples showed no cytotoxicity towards MG-63 cells and promoted their osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
In order to improve the strength of commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti) for oral implants, the high oxygen content Ti (HOC-Ti) was prepared via powder metallurgy. Its composition and mechanical properties were then characterized. After surface treatment by sandblasting and acid etching (SLA), the surface morphology, wettability and roughness of the HOC-Ti and CP-Ti sample were examined. In an in vitro test that followed an evaluation of the protein adsorption capacity of HOC-Ti, the mouse preosteoblast cells were inoculated onto the specimens to evaluate their biocompatibility, in comparison with those of CP-Ti. The oxygen concentration of the HOC-Ti increased to 0.62 wt%, which is higher than the 0.26 wt% of the CP-Ti, while their compositions and microstructures were very similar. The tensile and compressive yield strength of the HOC-Ti (800 MPa) was improved significantly in comparison to that of the CP-Ti (530 MPa). After surface treatment, a unique structure of micropores with a diameter of 380 nm was observed on the entire surface of the HOC-Ti that facilitates cell adhesion and proliferation. The wettability of the HOC-Ti was obviously superior (p < 0.05). The in vitro study showed that the MC3T3-E1 cells inoculated on the surface of HOC-Ti exhibited a homogeneous microstructure, and the viability was higher than that of the control group on days 4 and 7 (p < 0.05). In addition, the number and differentiation activity of cells that adhered to the surface of the HOC-Ti increased significantly on day 7 (p < 0.05). The experimental results showed that, in view of its mechanical properties and biocompatibility, HOC-Ti is superior to CP-Ti and is promising for oral implant applications.

Bone Regeneration in Critical-Sized Bone Defects Treated with Additively Manufactured Porous Metallic Biomaterials: The Effects of Inelastic Mechanical Properties. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13081992. [PMID: 32344664 PMCID: PMC7215733 DOI: 10.3390/ma13081992] [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: 03/18/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Additively manufactured (AM) porous metallic biomaterials, in general, and AM porous titanium, in particular, have recently emerged as promising candidates for bone substitution. The porous design of such materials allows for mimicking the elastic mechanical properties of native bone tissue and showed to be effective in improving bone regeneration. It is, however, not clear what role the other mechanical properties of the bulk material such as ductility play in the performance of such biomaterials. In this study, we compared the bone tissue regeneration performance of AM porous biomaterials made from the commonly used titanium alloy Ti6Al4V-ELI with that of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti). CP-Ti was selected because of its high ductility as compared to Ti6Al4V-ELI. Critical-sized (6 mm diameter) femoral defects in rats were treated with implants made from both Ti6Al4V-ELI and CP-Ti. Bone regeneration was assessed up to 11 weeks using micro-CT scanning. The regenerated bone volume was assessed ex vivo followed by histology and biomechanical testing to assess osseointegration of the implants. The bony defects treated with AM CP-Ti implants generally showed higher volumes of regenerated bone as compared to those treated with AM Ti6Al4V-ELI. The torsional strength of the two titanium groups were similar however, and both considerably lower than those measured for intact bony tissue. These findings show the importance of material type and ductility of the bulk material in the ability for bone tissue regeneration of AM porous biomaterials.

Abstract
Studies since 2004 have shown that the cytocompatibility of ultrafine grain (UG) commercial purity (CP) titanium exceeds that of coarse grain (CG) CP titanium (Ti) by 30% to 20-fold. To isolate the factors affecting this large reported variability of CP titanium's cytocompatibility, discs of UG and CG titanium were fabricated with controlled texture and roughness. The discs were seeded with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells and cultured for 72 h. The proliferation of cells on polished UG-Ti exceeded unpolished CG-Ti 3.04-fold. Cell proliferation was found to correlate with a new biophysical parameter, the average grain boundary length per surface-attached cell.

Cytotoxicity of biodegradable magnesium alloy WE43 to tumor cells in vitro: Bioresorbable implants with antitumor activity? J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2019; 108:167-173.

Abstract
In this study, a degradable magnesium alloy WE43 (Mg-3.56%Y-2.20%Nd-0.47%Zr) was used as a research object. To refine its microstructure from the initial homogenized one, the alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The data presented show that coincubation of tumor LNCaP and MDA-MB-231 cells with the WE43 alloy in the homogenized and the ECAP-processed states led to a decrease in their viability and proliferation. An increase in the concentration of Annexin V(+) cells during coincubation with samples in both microstructural states investigated was also observed. This is associated with the induction of apoptosis in the cell culture through contact with the samples. Concurrently, a significant drop in the concentration of Bcl-2(+) cells occurred. It was established that ECAP led to an enhancement of the cytotoxic activity of the alloy against tumor cells. This study demonstrated that alloy WE43 can be considered as a promising candidate for application in orthopedic implants in clinical oncology, where it could play a double role of a mechanically stable, yet bioresorbable, scaffold with local antitumor activity. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
