[PMID: 39063697 PMCID: PMC11277939 DOI: 10.3390/ma17143404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Infections related to orthopedic/stomatology surgery are widely recognized as a significant health concern. Therefore, the development of new materials with superior biological properties and good stability could represent a valuable alternative to the classical treatments. In this paper, the fluorine-substituted hydroxyapatite (FHAp) suspension, with the chemical formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2-2xF2x (where x = 0.05), was prepared using a modified coprecipitation technique. Stability studies were conducted by zeta potential and ultrasound measurements for the first time. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of FHAp powders displayed a hexagonal structure akin to that of pure hydroxyapatite (HAp). The XPS general spectrum revealed peaks corresponding to the constituent elements of fluorine-substituted hydroxyapatite such as calcium, phosphorus, oxygen, and fluorine. The purity of the obtained FHAp samples was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) studies. The FHAp morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies were performed in order to study the vibrational properties of the FHAp samples. The FHAp suspensions were tested for antibacterial activity against reference strains such as Staphylococcus aureus 25923 ATCC, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Additionally, the biocompatibility of the FHAp suspensions was assessed using human fetal osteoblastic cells (hFOB 1.19 cell line). The results of our biological tests suggest that FHAp suspensions are promising candidates for the future development of new biocompatible and antimicrobial agents for use in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Despite reductions in bacterial infection and enhanced success rate, the widespread use of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis in implant dentistry is controversial. This use has contributed to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, along with creating significant health and economic burdens. The basic mechanisms that cause implant infection can be targeted by new prevention and treatment methods which can also lead to the reduction of systemic antibiotic exposure and its associated adverse effects. This review aims to summarize advanced biomaterial strategies applied to implant components based on anti-pathogenic mechanisms and immune balance mechanisms. It emphasizes that modifying the dental implant surface and regulating the early immune response are promising strategies, which may further prevent or slow the development of peri-implant infection, and subsequent failure.

Mechanical, bioactive, and long-lasting antibacterial properties of a Ti scaffold with gradient pores releasing iodine ions. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 158:213781.

Abstract
The ideal bone implant would effectively prevent aseptic as well as septic loosening by minimizing stress shielding, maximizing bone ingrowth, and preventing implant-associated infections. Here, a novel gradient-pore-size titanium scaffold was designed and manufactured to address these requirements. The scaffold features a larger pore size (900 μm) on the top surface, gradually decreasing to small sizes (600 μm to 300 μm) towards the center, creating a gradient structure. To enhance its functionality, the additively manufactured scaffolds were biofunctionalized using simple chemical and heat treatments so as to incorporate calcium and iodine ions throughout the surface. This unique combination of varying pore sizes with a biofunctional surface provides highly desirable mechanical properties, bioactivity, and notably, long-lasting antibacterial activity. The target mechanical aspects, including low elastic modulus, high compression, compression-shear, and fatigue strength, were effectively achieved. Furthermore, the biofunctional surface exhibits remarkable in vitro bioactivity and potent antibacterial activity, even under conditions specifically altered to be favorable for bacterial growth. More importantly, the integration of small pores alongside larger ones ensures a sustained high release of iodine, resulting in antimicrobial activity that persisted for over three months, with full eradication of the bacteria. Taken together, this gradient structure exhibits obvious superiority in combining most of the desired properties, making it an ideal candidate for orthopedic and dental implant applications.

Fluoride anodic films on stainless-steel fomites to reduce transmission infections. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0189223.

Abstract
The growing concern arising from viruses with pandemic potential and multi-resistant bacteria responsible for hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks of food poisoning has led to an increased awareness of indirect contact transmission. This has resulted in a renewed interest to confer antimicrobial properties to commonly used metallic materials. The present work provides a full characterization of optimized fluoride anodic films grown in stainless steel 304L as well as their antimicrobial properties. Antibacterial tests show that the anodic film, composed mainly of chromium and iron fluorides, reduces the count and the percentage of the area covered by 50% and 87.7% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, respectively. Virologic tests show that the same treatment reduces the infectivity of the coronavirus HCoV-229E-GFP, in comparison with the non-anodized stainless steel 304L.IMPORTANCEThe importance of environmental surfaces as a source of infection is a topic of particular interest today, as many microorganisms can survive on these surfaces and infect humans through direct contact. Modification of these surfaces by anodizing has been shown to be useful for some alloys of medical interest. This work evaluates the effect of anodizing on stainless steel, a metal widely used in a variety of applications. According to the study, the fluoride anodic layers reduce the colonization of the surfaces by both bacteria and viruses, thus reducing the risk of acquiring infections from these sources.

Abstract
Zinc alloys have emerged as promising materials for bone regeneration due to their moderate biodegradation rates. However, the blast release of Zn2+ from Zn alloy substrates affects cell behaviors and the subsequent osseointegration quality, retarding their early service performance. To address this issue, extracellular matrix-like hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were prepared on Zn-1Ca (ZN) by a combined hydrothermal treatment (HT). HA nanoclusters nucleate on the presetting ZnO layer and grow into nanorods with prolonged HT. HA nanorods protect the ZN substrate from serious corrosion and the corrosion rate is reduced by dozens of times compared with the bare ZN, resulting in a significantly decreased release of Zn2+ ions. The synergistic effect of HA nanorods and appropriate Zn2+ endow ZN implants with obviously improved behaviors of osteoblasts and endothelial cells (e.g. adhesion, proliferation and differentiation) in vitro and new bone formation in vivo. Our work opens up a promising avenue for Zn-based alloys to improve bone regeneration in clinics.

Abstract
Dental implants are one of the most important and successful advancements in modern dentistry. One aspect of dental implant design that influences the rate and degree of osseointegration is implant surface features. Nano-engineering techniques are anticipated to improve titanium dentistry implants' surface characteristics, which in turn promote peri-implant osteogenesis. In this paper, we review the recent advances in nanosurface engineering techniques for enhancing the bioactivity of dental implants.

Abstract
Bismuth oxides were synthesized from bismuth carbonate using the sol-gel method. Studies have described the formation of Bi2O3, as a precursor of HNO3 dissolution, and intermediate oxides, such as BixOy when using H2SO4 and H3PO4. The average size of the crystallite calculated from Scherrer's formula ranged from 9 to 19 nm, according to X-ray diffraction. The FTIR analysis showed the presence of specific Bi2O3 bands when using HNO3 and of crystalline phases of "bismuth oxide sulphate" when using H2SO4 and "bismuth phosphate" when using H3PO4. The TG curves showed major mass losses and specific thermal effects, delimited in four temperature zones for materials synthesized with HNO3 (with loss of mass between 24% and 50%) and H2SO4 (with loss of mass between 45% and 76%), and in three temperature zones for materials synthesized with H3PO4 (with loss of mass between 13% and 43%). Further, the thermal stability indicates that materials have been improved by the addition of a polymer or polymer and carbon. Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed decreased roughness in the series, [BixOy]N > [BixOy-6% PVA]N > [BixOy-C-6% PVA]N, and increased roughness for materials [BixOy]S, [BixOy-6% PVA]S, [BixOy-C-6% PVA]S, [BixOy]P, [BixOy-6% PVA]P and [BixOy-C-6% PVA]P. The morphological analysis (electronic scanning microscopy) of the synthesized materials showed a wide variety of forms: overlapping nanoplates ([BixOy]N or [BixOy]S), clusters of angular forms ([BixOy-6% PVA]N), pillars ([BixOy-6% PVA]S-Au), needle particles ([BixOy-Au], [BixOy-6% PVA]S-Au, [BixOy-C-6% PVA]S-Au), spherical particles ([BixOy-C-6% PVA]P-Pt), 2D plates ([BixOy]P-Pt) and 3D nanometric plates ([BixOy-C-6% PVA]S-Au). For materials obtained in the first synthesis stage, antimicrobial activity increased in the series [BixOy]N > [BixOy]S > [BixOy]P. For materials synthesized in the second synthesis stage, when polymer (polyvinyl alcohol, PVA) was added, maximum antimicrobial activity, regardless of the microbial species tested, was present in the material [BixOy-6% PVA]S. For the materials synthesized in the third stage, to which graphite and 6% PVA were added, the best antimicrobial activity was in the material [BixOy-C-6% PVA]P. Materials synthesized and doped with metal ions (gold or platinum) showed significant antimicrobial activity for the tested microbial species.

Abstract
Dental implants have become the leading choice for patients who lose teeth; however, dental implantation is challenged by peri-implant infections. Here, calcium-doped titanium was fabricated by the combinational use of thermal evaporation and electron beam evaporation in a vacuum; then, the material was immersed in a calcium-free phosphate-buffered saline solution containing human plasma fibrinogen and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h, creating calcium- and protein-conditioned titanium. The titanium contained 12.8 ± 1.8 at.% of calcium, which made the material more hydrophilic. Calcium release by the material during protein conditioning was able to change the conformation of the adsorbed fibrinogen, which acted against the colonization of peri-implantitis-associated pathogens (Streptococcus mutans, UA 159, and Porphyromonas gingivalis, ATCC 33277), while supporting the adhesion and growth of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs). The present study confirms that the combination of calcium-doping and fibrinogen-conditioning is a promising pathway to meeting the clinical demand for suppressing peri-implantitis.

Abstract
The majority of bone and joint infections are caused by Gram-positive organisms, specifically staphylococci. Additionally, gram-negative organisms such as E. coli can infect various organs through infected wounds. Fungal arthritis is a rare condition, with examples including Mucormycosis (Mucor rhizopus). These infections are difficult to treat, making the use of novel antibacterial materials for bone diseases crucial. Sodium titanate nanotubes (NaTNTs) were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and characterized using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Zeta sizer. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the NaTNT framework nanostructure was evaluated using Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), Disc Diffusion assays for bacterial activity, and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) for antifungal investigation. In addition to examining in vivo antibacterial activity in rats through wound induction and infection, pathogen counts and histological examinations were also conducted. In vitro and in vivo tests revealed that NaTNT has substantial antifungal and antibacterial effects on various bone-infected pathogens. In conclusion, current research indicates that NaTNT is an efficient antibacterial agent against a variety of microbial pathogenic bone diseases.

[PMID: 36834746 PMCID: PMC9967395 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease similar to periodontitis, caused by biofilms formed on the surface of dental implants. This inflammation can spread to bone tissues and result in bone loss. Therefore, it is essential to inhibit the formation of biofilms on the surface of dental implants. Thus, this study examined the inhibition of biofilm formation by treating TiO2 nanotubes with heat and plasma. Commercially pure titanium specimens were anodized to form TiO2 nanotubes. Heat treatment was performed at 400 and 600 °C, and atmospheric pressure plasma was applied using a plasma generator (PGS-200, Expantech, Suwon, Republic of Korea). Contact angles, surface roughness, surface structure, crystal structure, and chemical compositions were measured to analyze the surface properties of the specimens. The inhibition of biofilm formation was assessed using two methods. The results of this study showed that the heat treatment of TiO2 nanotubes at 400 °C inhibited the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), associated with initial biofilm formation, and that heat treatment of TiO2 nanotubes at 600 °C inhibited the adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), which causes peri-implantitis. Applying plasma to the TiO2 nanotubes heat-treated at 600 °C inhibited the adhesion of S. mutans and P. gingivalis.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for manufacturing of bone implants because of its mechanical properties, biological compatibility, and favorable corrosion resistance in biological environments. However, Ti implants are prone to infection (peri-implantitis) by bacteria which in extreme cases necessitate painful and costly revision surgeries. An emerging, viable solution for this problem is to use copper (Cu) as an antibacterial agent in the alloying system of Ti. The addition of copper provides excellent antibacterial activities, but the underpinning mechanisms are still obscure. This review sheds light on such mechanisms and reviews how incorporation of Cu can render Ti-Cu implants with antibacterial activity. The review first discusses the fundamentals of interactions between bacteria and implanted surfaces followed by an overview of the most common engineering strategies utilized to endow an implant with antibacterial activity. The underlying mechanisms for antibacterial activity of Ti-Cu implants are then discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to contact killing mechanisms because the misinterpretation of this mechanism is the root of discrepancies in the literature.

TiO 2/HA and Titanate/HA Double-Layer Coatings on Ti6Al4V Surface and Their Influence on In Vitro Cell Growth and Osteogenic Potential. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040271. [PMID: 36547531 PMCID: PMC9787412 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13040271] [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: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) layers are appropriate biomaterials for use in the modification of the surface of implants produced inter alia from a Ti6Al4V alloy. The issue that must be solved is to provide implants with appropriate biointegration properties, enabling the permanent link between them and bone tissues, which is not so easy with the HA layer. Our proposition is the use of the intermediate layer ((IL) = TiO2, and titanate layers) to successfully link the HA coating to a metal substrate (Ti6Al4V). The morphology, structure, and chemical composition of Ti6Al4V/IL/HA systems were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). We evaluated the apatite-forming ability on the surface of the layer in simulated body fluid. We investigated the effects of the obtained systems on the viability and growth of human MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, mouse L929 fibroblasts, and adipose-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro, as well as on their osteogenic properties. Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that both investigated systems reflect the physiological environment of bone tissue and create a biocompatible surface supporting cell growth. However, the nanoporous TiO2 intermediate layer with osteogenesis-supportive activity seems most promising for the practical application of Ti6Al4V/TiO2/HA as a system of bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implants with antibacterial, osteogenic and even angiogenic capabilities are essential to enhance their clinical applicability. Herein, metal-organic framework (MOF) derived CuO@ZnO composite was grafted onto the polydopamine (PDA) modified titanium alloy to achieve vascularized bone regeneration. The CuO@ZnO-coated titanium effectively inhibits the formation of bacterial biofilms and the sterilization rate of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) reaches 99%. Benefitting from the intrinsic porous architecture of MOFs, the Zn2+ and Cu2+ could be controllably released to facilitate the production of excess intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the bacteria, which ensures the excellent antibacterial performance of the composite coating. The CuO@ZnO-coated titanium also exhibits good cytocompatibility, effectively promotes the adhesion and proliferation of the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and reduces the level of the cell apoptosis. The up-regulated expression of the osteogenesis-related genes and the superior extracellular matrix mineralization reveals that the CuO@ZnO coating possesses fantastic osteoinductive properties. In addition, the transwell and tube formation assays of the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) suggest the superior angiogenesis ability of the CuO@ZnO-coated titanium. The released Cu2+ stimulated the angiogenesis of the HUVECs in vitro by up-regulating the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These findings will provide new insight into the development of multifunctional titanium implants for clinical applications.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are frequently the biomaterial of choice for dental implant applications. Although titanium dental implants have been utilized for decades, there are yet unresolved issues pertaining to implant failure. Dental implant failure can arise either through wear and fatigue of the implant itself or peri-implant disease and subsequent host inflammation. In the present report, we provide a comprehensive review of titanium and its alloys in the context of dental implant material, and how surface properties influence the rate of bacterial colonization and peri-implant disease. Details are provided on the various periodontal pathogens implicated in peri-implantitis, their adhesive behavior, and how this relationship is governed by the implant surface properties. Issues of osteointegration and immunomodulation are also discussed in relation to titanium dental implants. Some impediments in the commercial translation for a novel titanium-based dental implant from "bench to bedside" are discussed. Numerous in vitro studies on novel materials, processing techniques, and methodologies performed on dental implants have been highlighted. The present report review that comprehensively compares the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies of titanium and its alloys for dental implants.

Abstract
Due to the good biocompatibility and ideal mechanical property, titanium implants have been widely used in dental clinic and orthopedic surgery. However, bacteria induced infection can cause per-implant inflammation and decrease the success rate of implant surgery. Therefore, developing antimicrobial techniques is essential to successful application of titanium implants. Many surface antimicrobial techniques, including antimicrobial coating and surface modifications, have been explored and they always exert antimicrobial effect by reducing bacterial adhesion, inhibiting their metabolism, or destructing cell structure. In this paper, different surface antimicrobial techniques and their recent research progress are reviewed to provide a brief insight on this area.

Abstract
This research work is focused on the investigation of newly developed titania sol-gel coatings containing silver, calcium and phosphate with appropriate abilities to be implanted into the human body. These abilities include adhesion, bioactivity, antibacterial property and cytocompatibility of prepared coatings. Four types of coatings were applied on a titanium substrate by dip-coating technique under different conditions (TCP1, TCP2, TCPA1 and TCPA2). Surfaces of coatings after the firing without silver featured different distribution of circular areas containing Ca. The coatings TCPA1 and TCPA2 were made up of unhomogeneously situated silver. Adhesion of the coatings to the substrates was measured by a tape test. All types of the coatings demonstrated very good adhesion. Isolated cracks that appeared during the firing did not have a negative influence on the adhesion properties. Bioactivity of the coatings was tested in vitro using a simulated body fluid. Three of the four types demonstrated bioactive properties (TCP1, TCP2 and TCPA2), that is, precipitation of crystalline hydroxyapatite as was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The antibacterial effect (against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and cytotoxicity (toward L929 and U-2 OS cell lines, direct and indirect test) were then tested. All the coatings demonstrated very good antibacterial effect against both bacteria after 4- and 24-hr interaction. All the coating types were evaluated as cytocompatible in the indirect test. Cells were able to grow even directly on the coatings.

Abstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM) or rapid prototyping technologies are presented as one of the best options to produce customized prostheses and implants with high-level requirements in terms of complex geometries, mechanical properties, and short production times. The AM method that has been more investigated to obtain metallic implants for medical and biomedical use is Electron Beam Melting (EBM), which is based on the powder bed fusion technique. One of the most common metals employed to manufacture medical implants is titanium. Although discovered in 1790, titanium and its alloys only started to be used as engineering materials for biomedical prostheses after the 1950s. In the biomedical field, these materials have been mainly employed to facilitate bone adhesion and fixation, as well as for joint replacement surgeries, thanks to their good chemical, mechanical, and biocompatibility properties. Therefore, this study aims to collect relevant and up-to-date information from an exhaustive literature review on EBM and its applications in the medical and biomedical fields. This AM method has become increasingly popular in the manufacturing sector due to its great versatility and geometry control.

Abstract
Bacterial infections of medical devices present severe problems connected with long-term antibiotic treatment, implant failure, and high hospital costs. Therefore, there are enormous demands for innovative techniques which would improve the surface properties of implantable materials. Plasma technologies present one of the compelling ways to improve metal's antibacterial activity; plasma treatment can significantly alter metal surfaces' physicochemical properties, such as surface chemistry, roughness, wettability, surface charge, and crystallinity, which all play an important role in the biological response of medical materials. Herein, the most common plasma treatment techniques like plasma spraying, plasma immersion ion implantation, plasma vapor deposition, and plasma electrolytic oxidation as well as novel approaches based on gaseous plasma treatment of surfaces are gathered and presented. The latest results of different surface modification approaches and their influence on metals' antibacterial surface properties are presented and critically discussed. The mechanisms involved in bactericidal effects of plasma-treated surfaces are discussed and novel results of surface modification of metal materials by highly reactive oxygen plasma are presented.

Abstract
Streptococci are associated with dental plaque formation as the early-colonizing bacteria that adhere to titanium (CpTi) and zirconia (TZP) implant abutment surfaces. Effective prevention of peri-implantitis may be possible by removing streptococci as target. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2% NaF on the prevention of streptococcal adhesion to CpTi and TZP. After immersion in 2% NaF for 90 min, surface characterization of mirror-polished CpTi and TZP disks were assesed using XPS, EPMA, and SEM. S. sanguinis, S. gordonii, and S. oralis were used as the streptococcal bacterial strains. After 24 h culture, bacterial adhesion was evaluated using an ATP-bioluminescent assay and SEM. In XPS, EPMA, and SEM analyses, fluoride was detected on the CpTi and TZP surfaces after 2% NaF immersion with no signs of localization, and no corrosion on the CpTi disks. Based on the adhesion assay, the adherences of S. sanguinis, S. gordonii, and S. oralis were significantly lower with NaF than without NaF in CpTi (p = 0.005, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively) and TZP (p = 0.003, 0.002, and 0.001). This was also confirmed by SEM. In conclusion, 2% NaF reduced the adhesion of streptococci to the CpTi and TZP surfaces.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, carbon nanomaterials, including carbon nanofibers, nanocrystalline diamonds, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanodots, and graphene and its derivatives, have gained the attention of bioengineers and medical researchers as they possess extraordinary physicochemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Recently, surface functionalization with carbon nanomaterials in dental and orthopedic implants has emerged as a novel strategy for reinforcement and as a bioactive cue due to their potential for osseointegration. Numerous developments in fabrication and biological studies of carbon nanostructures have provided various novel opportunities to expand their application to hard tissue regeneration and restoration. In this minireview, the recent research trends in surface functionalization of orthopedic and dental implants with coating carbon nanomaterials are summarized. In addition, some seminal methodologies for physicomechanical and electrochemical coatings are discussed. In conclusion, it is shown that further development of surface functionalization with carbon nanomaterials may provide innovative results with clinical potential for improved osseointegration after implantation.

Specific properties of the implant surface, such as its chemistry and roughness, are of paramount importance to address specific cell responses, such as the adsorption of proteins, as well as the adhesion and differentiation of cells, which are suitable for biomaterial and tissue engineering. In this study, an acrylate-containing coating was produced on titanium surfaces through the atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of a liquid precursor, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. A hydrophilic coating was obtained, showing retention of the monomer chemistry as assessed by FTIR analysis and XPS. Enhanced fibroblast adhesion and decreased Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli adhesion were recorded, showing that this is a suitable method to produce biocompatible coatings with a reduced bacterial adhesion.

Abstract
Ti-6Al-4V, although widely used in dental materials, causes peri-implant inflammation due to the long-term accumulation of bacteria around the implant, resulting in bone loss and eventual failure of the implant. This study aims to overcome the problem of dental implant infection by analyzing the influence of Ti-6Al-4V surface characteristics on the quantity of accumulated bacteria. Ti-6Al-4V specimens, each with different surface roughness are produced by mechanical, chemical, and electrolytic polishing. The surface roughness, surface contact angle, surface oxygen content, and surface structure were measured via atomic force microscopy (AFM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), drop shape analysis (using sessile drop), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The micro and macro surface roughness are 10.33–120.05 nm and 0.68–2.34 μm, respectively. The surface X direction and Y direction contact angle are 21.38°–96.44° and 18.37°–92.72°, respectively. The surface oxygen content is 47.36–59.89 at.%. The number of colonies and the optical density (OD) are 7.87 × 106–17.73 × 106 CFU/mL and 0.189–0.245, respectively. The bacterial inhibition were the most effective under the electrolytic polishing of Ti-6Al-4V. The electrolytic polishing of Ti-6Al-4V exhibited the best surface characteristics: the surface roughness of 10 nm, surface contact angle of 92°, and surface oxygen content of 54 at.%, respectively. This provides the best surface treatment of Ti-6Al-4V in dental implants.

Abstract
In the present study, Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Then the fabric (treated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma and alkali desizing) was sprayed by solutions of polyurethane (PU) adhesive and as-prepared Ag@TiO2NPs in sequence for constructing a robust multi-level structure. Afterwards, the durable superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic coatings were obtained on the fabric surface. With further octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) modification, the wetting behaviour of the coating was transferred to superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity. Observations showed that both cotton fabrics exhibited excellent superwetting properties and antimicrobial activities even after experiencing repeated rinsing by water or oil, abrasion with the original cotton fabric or sand paper, and in chemical stability tests in a base and acid, etc. Moreover, the two types of Ag@TiO2NPs/PU composite fabrics could successfully serve as filtering membranes for the fine reclamation of water or oil from their emulsion mixtures, which demonstrated high selectivity and efficiency, offering the theoretical foundation to extend the range of practical applications for textiles.

Abstract
When biomaterials are implanted in the human body, the surfaces of the implants become favorable sites for microbial adhesion and biofilm formation, causing peri-implant infection which frequently results in the failure of prosthetics and revision surgery. Ti-Mo alloy is one of the commonly used implant materials for load-bearing bone replacement, and the prevention of infection of Ti-Mo implants is therefore crucial. In this study, bacterial inhibitory copper (Cu) was added to Ti-Mo matrix to develop a novel Ti-Mo-Cu alloy with bacterial inhibitory property. The effects of Cu content on microstructure, tensile properties, cytocompatibility, and bacterial inhibitory ability of Ti-Mo-Cu alloy were systematically investigated. Results revealed that Ti-10Mo-1Cu alloy consisted of α and β phases, while there were a few Ti2Cu intermetallic compounds existed for Ti-10Mo-3Cu and Ti-10Mo-5Cu alloys, in addition to α and β phases. The tensile strength of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloy increased with Cu content while elongation decreased. Ti-10Mo-3Cu alloy exhibited an optimal tensile strength of 1098.1 MPa and elongation of 5.2%. Cytocompatibility study indicated that none of the Ti-10Mo-xCu alloys had a negative effect on MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation. Bacterial inhibitory rates against S. aureus and E. coli increased with the increase in Cu content of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloy, within the ranges of 20-60% and 15-50%, respectively. Taken together, this study suggests that Ti-10Mo-3Cu alloy with high strength, acceptable elongation, excellent cytocompatibility, and the bacterial inhibitory property is a promising candidate for biomedical implant applications.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 108:110433.

Abstract
To instill pure Ti with an antibacterial effect, Cu was added by metallurgical alloying to produce Ti-5 wt% Cu alloy (Ti-5Cu alloy). The precipitation of the likes of Ti2Cu in a Ti-Cu alloy is one of the factors that influences its antibacterial property. However, in the present study, Ti-5Cu alloy precipitates with different microstructures were obtained by applying heat treatment at different temperatures and for different durations. After the heat treatment, metallographic, microstructure, and element analyses were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The antibacterial property of the Ti-5Cu alloy was assessed by the plated-count method using Escherichia coli (E. coli). The microstructure analysis revealed that the solution-treated alloy had no precipitation, while the aged alloy contained precipitations of intermetallic Ti2Cu compound. The aged alloy exhibited better antibacterial performance as the duration of the aging treatment increased. The optimal heat treatment for Ti-5Cu was found to be aging at 700 °C for 4 h, at which point the nucleation formation of the Ti2Cu particles would assume an acicular morphology. These acicular precipitates exhibit a high Cu content which, in turn, influences the antibacterial performance.

Abstract
Titanium implants are often combined with microporous titania coatings simultaneously doped with various elements to enhance their antibacterial, angiogenic and osteogenic activities. To evaluate how Sr doping levels affect properties of titania coatings simultaneously doped with Ca, P, Co and F (TiCPCF coatings), we prepared coatings with Sr contents equal to 6, 11 and 18 wt% (TiCPCF-S6, TiCPCF-S11 and TiCPCF-S18, respectively) using micro-arc oxidation of titanium. Sr presence in TiCPCF coatings did not affect their phase compositions, microstructure, surface wettability, roughness, and adhesion to titanium. Antibacterial, angio- and osteo-genic activities of all the coatings were evaluated. Sr incorporation improved mesenchymal stem cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and implant osseointegration. TiCPCF-S11 showed the most optimum Sr content judging by its enhanced osteogenic activity. While Sr incorporation did not weaken angiogenic and antibacterial abilities of TiCPCF. Thus TiCPCF-S11 coating is a very strong candidate to be used as a next-generation bone implant material.

Abstract
Biomedical implants have been widely used in various orthopedic treatments, including total hip arthroplasty, joint arthrodesis, fracture fixation, non-union, dental repair, etc. The modern research and development of orthopedic implants have gradually shifted from traditional mechanical support to a bioactive graft in order to endow them with better osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Inspired by structural and mechanical properties of natural bone, this review provides a panorama of current biological surface modifications for facilitating the interaction between medical implants and bone tissue and gives a future outlook for fabricating the next-generation multifunctional and smart implants by systematically biomimicking the physiological processes involved in formation and functioning of bones.

Abstract
Additively manufactured selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) opens the possibility of tailored medical implants for patients. Despite orthopedic implant advancements, significant problems remain with regard to suboptimal osseointegration at the interface between the implant and the surrounding tissue. Here, we show that applying a nanodiamond (ND) coating onto SLM-Ti scaffolds provides an improved surface for mammalian cell growth while inhibiting colonization of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Owing to the simplicity of our methodology, the approach is suitable for coating SLM-Ti geometries. The ND coating achieved 32 and 29% increases in cell density of human dermal fibroblasts and osteoblasts, respectively, after 3 days of incubation compared with the uncoated SLM-Ti substratum. This increase in cell density complements an 88% reduction in S. aureus detected on the ND-coated SLM-Ti substrata. This study paves a way to create facile antifouling SLM-Ti structures for biomedical implants.

Abstract
This study compared the effects of hydroxyapatite (HA), fluor-hydroxyapatite (FHA) and Si-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) on osteogenic differentiation, osteoclastic activity and antibacterial properties. HA, FHA and SiHA were prepared via a sol-gel reaction and characterized by scanning electron microscopic analysis (SEM), transmission electron microscopic analysis (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. Cell proliferation was evaluated using an MTT assay and cytoskeletal morphology was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated using alkaline phosphatase activity and Alizarin red staining. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate the mRNA expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteopontin (OPN). New bone formation was tested using μCT, haematoxylin and eosin staining and TRAP staining. The antibacterial actions against Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. g) were evaluated through plate counting and live-dead bacterial staining. The results demonstrated that HA, FHA and SiHA can promote proliferation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). ALP activity in FHA extract with a concentration of 625 μg mL-1 was the highest after 14 days osteogenic induction; similar results were observed for Runx2 and OPN mRNA expression. HA, FHA and SiHA decreased trabecular space in bone defects, but FHA reduced osteoclastic activity and inhibited P. g growth. In conclusion, FHA can promote osteogenic activity, reduce osteoclastic activity and enhance antibacterial effects.

Abstract
Wound infections impose a remarkable clinical challenge that has a considerable influence on morbidity and mortality of patients, influencing the cost of treatment. The unprecedented advancements in molecular biology have come up with new molecular and cellular targets that can be successfully applied to develop smarter therapeutics against diversified categories of wounds such as acute and chronic wounds. However, nanotechnology-based diagnostics and treatments have achieved a new horizon in the arena of wound care due to its ability to deliver a plethora of therapeutics into the target site, and to target the complexity of the normal wound-healing process, cell type specificity, and plethora of regulating molecules as well as pathophysiology of chronic wounds. The emerging concepts of nanobiomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsion, nanofibrous scaffolds, graphene-based nanocomposites, etc., and nano-sized biomaterials like peptides/proteins, DNA/RNA, oligosaccharides have a vast application in the arena of wound care. Multi-functional, unique nano-wound care formulations have acquired major attention by facilitating the wound healing process. In this review, emphasis has been given to different types of nanomaterials used in external wound healing (chronic cutaneous wound healing); the concepts of basic mechanisms of wound healing process and the promising strategies that can help in the field of wound management.

Abstract
Implanted biomaterials play a key role in the current success of orthopedic and dental procedures. Pure titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for permanent implants in contact with bone. However, implant-related infections remain among the leading reasons for failure. The most critical pathogenic event in the development of infection on biomaterials is biofilm formation, which starts immediately after bacterial adhesion. In the last decade, numerous studies reported the ability of titanium surface modifications and coatings to minimize bacterial adhesion, inhibit biofilm formation and provide effective bacterial killing to protect implanted biomaterials. In the present review, the different strategies to prevent infection onto titanium surfaces are reported: surface modification and coatings by antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, inorganic antibacterial metal elements and antibacterial polymers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Implanted biomaterials play a key role in the current success of orthopedic and dental procedures. Pure titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for permanent implants in contact with bone. Microbial infection is one of the main causes of implant failure. Currently, the global infection risk is 2-5% in orthopedic surgery. Numerous solutions exist to render titanium surfaces antibacterial. The LBPS team is an expert on the functionalization of titanium surfaces by using bioactive polymers to improve the biologiocal response. In this review, the different strategies to prevent infection are reported onto titanium and titanium alloy surfaces such as surface modification by antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, inorganic antibacterial metal elements and antibacterial polymers.

Abstract
Structural, microstructural and bactericidal surface properties of TiO2 -coated glass substrates elaborated by reactive Radiofrequency sputtering are investigated. As pathogenic bacteria in biofilms are a major concern in food industries due to their growing resistance to cleaning and sanitizing procedures, the development of photoactive surfaces exhibiting bactericidal properties is acknowledged as an effective approach to tackle bacterial contaminations. Our principal aim concerns the study of the photoactive top-layer thickness impact (from 80 nm to ~500 nm) on Listeria monocytogenes. Structural characterization of the TiO2 layers demonstrates that anatase and rutile phases are both present, depending on the film thickness. Photocatalytic activity of the samples has been evaluated through the degradation of aqueous methylene blue (MB) solutions under UVA light illumination for various time periods. The results show an efficiency rating increase according to TiO2 film thickness up to a threshold value close to 400 nm. Moreover, a significant decrease of the adherent bacteria number is observed after 20 min of UVA illumination. The quantitative study of the bactericidal activity associated with scanning electron microscopy observations of the postprocess bacteria damaged cells demonstrates the efficiency of the 240-nm-thick TiO2 coating sample. The results are correlated with the production of hydroxyl radicals during the process of photocatalysis.

Abstract
To enhance bacterial resistance and osteogenesis of titanium (Ti) -based implants, TiO2/calcium-phosphate coatings (TiCP) doped with various amounts of fluorine (F) (designated as TiCP-F1, TiCP-F6, and TiCP-F9) were prepared on Ti by micro-arc oxidation. The F doped TiCP coatings possess a microporous structure (pore size of 3-4 μm in average diameter) which is evenly covered by nano-grains of 30-60 nm in size. Successful F incorporation into TiCP was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and it shows weak influence on the microstructure, phase compositions, surface roughness and wettability of TiCP. All the coatings bonded firmly to the Ti substrates and showed enduring high adhesion strength in biological circumstances. The bacterial resistance and osteogenesis of the coatings were evaluated by implanting testing materials in vitro and in an infected rabbit model caused by bacteria. Both the in vitro and in vivo results indicated that TiCP and TiCP-F1 were of much higher osteogenic activity compared with Ti but lacking of bacterial resistance, whereas TiCP with high F addition (TiCP-F6 and TiCP-F9) exhibited both dramatically improved bacterial resistance and osteogenesis. In summary, TiCP-F6 possessed the best antibacterial and osteogenic activities, especially exhibited excellent osseointegration efficacy in the infected rabbit model.

Chitosan-based sleeves loaded with silver and chlorhexidine in a percutaneous rabbit tibia model with a repeated bacterial challenge. Acta Biomater 2018; 82:102-110. [PMID: 30342284 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.10.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2018] [Revised: 10/10/2018] [Accepted: 10/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Various strategies have been explored to prevent pin tract infections (PTI), including the use of antibacterial sleeves. However, an ideal animal model to evaluate the efficacy of antibacterial strategies is still lacking. This study aimed to construct an animal model with a consistent induction of infection after bacterial challenge. Further, the efficacy of silver and chlorhexidine loaded chitosan sleeves was evaluated to prevent PTI around a percutaneous implant. Titanium pins wrapped with sleeves were implanted in anterior lateral rabbit tibia. After 2 weeks, Staphylococcus aureus suspensions (1 × 106 CFU) were injected weekly to the exit site, and the clinical infection status was recorded. After 6 weeks, all rabbits were euthanized to evaluate the bacterial colonization microbiologically and histomorphometrically. Results showed that the implant screw bilaterally penetrated the tibia and kept the implant stable. A rod length of twice the thickness of the soft-tissue layer was necessary to maintain the percutaneous penetration of the implants. A 100% infection rate was obtained by the bacterial inoculation. Silver loaded sleeves reduced significantly the bacterial density and reduced the inflammatory symptoms of the percutaneous pin tract. However, the addition of chlorhexidine to the sleeves had no added value in terms of further reduction of bacteria and inflammation. In conclusion, a consistent animal model was designed to evaluate strategies to prevent PTI. In addition, the use of silver loaded chitosan sleeves can be pursued for further (pre-)clinical exploration for the prevention of PTI. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study constructed a bacterial challenged percutaneous rabbit tibia model to evaluate the potential of antibacterial strategies for the prevention of pin tract infections. The model was applied to evaluate a silver and chlorhexidine loaded membranes as an antibacterial sleeve. Our results demonstrate that the rabbit tibia model is suitable to evaluate antibacterial strategies for the prevention of pin tract infection as evidenced by the stable, bone fixed percutaneous implant and a 100% infection rate of the percutaneous pin tract. Silver loaded sleeves can lower the bacterial density of the percutaneous pin tract, but the addition of chlorhexidine to the silver-loaded sleeves does not contribute to an enhanced antibacterial effect. Such experiments are of considerable interest to those in the research community, industry, and clinicians involved the occurrence of infection of skin penetrating medical devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Implant-related infection is a devastating complication in orthopedic surgery. Aiming to minimize this problem, many material modifications have been developed. Here we report a study of a surface modification of Ti-6 Al-4 V alloy using a methodology that enables the study of interactions between bacteria and the material in the presence of eukaryotic cells. METHODS We mixed different concentrations of collection or clinical strains of staphylococci isolated from implant-related infections with preosteoblastic cells using a previously published methodology, analyzing the minimal concentration of bacteria able to colonize the surface of the material through image analysis. Ti-6 Al-4 V alloy was modified by anodization to obtain two F-doped nanostructured surfaces that have been previously described to have antibacterial properties. RESULTS Our results show similar bacterial adhesion results to nanoporous and nanotubular F-doped surfaces. The presence of preosteoblastic cells increases the adherence of all bacterial strains to both structures. No effect of the surface on eukaryotic cells adherence was detected. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first time that anin vitro study emulating the race for the surface evaluates and compares the osseointegration and antibacterial properties between two nanostructured- modified titanium alloy surfaces. Clinical strains show different behavior from collection ones in bacterial adherence. The presence of cells increased bacterial adherence. NP and NT surface modifications didn´t show significant differences in bacterial adhesion and preosteoblastic cells integration.

Abstract
To enhance their longevity, dental implants must be highly biocompatible and must have a low elastic modulus close to that of the bone. They must also possess a high superficial hardness and a high corrosion resistance. For these reasons, a recently developed low-modulus Ti-27Nb alloy with nontoxic elements was treated by gas nitriding at high temperature in this study. A very thin nitrided layer of 0.5 μm in thickness followed by an enriched nitrogen zone was observed. Consequently, a very high hardness evaluated at about 1800 HV was obtained in surface, which represents an increase of 4-5 times the hardness of the non-nitrided alloy. This superficial hardness was experimentally observed to decrease up to 800 nm in depth from the surface to the core. The low modulus of Ti-27Nb (evaluated at 55 GPa, which is twice lower than the commercially pure titanium) was not affected by the surface nitriding treatment. A better corrosion resistance was observed and a significant decrease in ion release rates for the nitrided alloy (ion release of 1.41 ng/cm2 compared to the 163.58 ng/cm2 obtained for the commercially pure titanium at pH = 7.48 in artificial Carter-Brugirard saliva). The cytocompatibility was not compromised and the cell viability performed on human osteoblasts, fibroblastic cells, and epithelial cells was enhanced on the nitrided surface in comparison with the non-nitrided surface. These combined properties make the nitrided Ti-27Nb alloy a good candidate for dental implant applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Background: Direct metal laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that allows fabrication of dental implants and related components with a highly porous surface. To date, no human studies have investigated the soft tissue adhesion and presence of inflammatory infiltrate with porous DMLS healing abutments (HAs), nor have they compared these with the classic machined ones. Purpose: To evaluate the degree of cell adhesion (integrin expression) and the quantity/quality of inflammatory infiltrate, on HAs with different surfaces; full DMLS, full machined, and hybrid (half DMLS and half machined). Methods: Fifty implant patients were randomly assigned to receive one of these different Has: T1, full DMLS (11 subjects); T2, machined in the upper portion and DMLS in the lower one (10 subjects); T3, DMLS in the upper portion and machined in the lower one (19 subjects); T4, full machined (10 patients). Thirty days after placement, circular sections of soft tissues around HAs were retrieved for immunohistochemical evaluation. Results: With regard to the adhesion molecules, the samples showed different intensity of integrin expression, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between T1 and the other groups. All the samples were positive for the different clusters related to the inflammatory infiltrate (T lymphocytes, CD3; B lymphocytes, CD20; and macrophages, CD68), but a lower infiltrate was found in T1, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) among the groups. Conclusions: The HA surface seems to influence the degree of cell adhesion and the inflammatory infiltrate of the surrounding soft tissues.

Abstract
Introduction: Plasma-polymerized film deposition was created to modify metallic orthodontic brackets surface properties in order to inhibit bacterial adhesion. Methods: Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) polymer films were deposited on conventional (n = 10) and self-ligating (n = 10) stainless steel orthodontic brackets using the Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) radio frequency technique. The samples were divided into two groups according to the kind of bracket and two subgroups after surface treatment. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed to assess the presence of bacterial adhesion over samples surfaces (slot and wings region) and film layer integrity. Surface roughness was assessed by Confocal Interferometry (CI) and surface wettability, by goniometry. For bacterial adhesion analysis, samples were exposed for 72 hours to a Streptococcus mutans solution for biofilm formation. The values obtained for surface roughness were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test while biofilm adhesion were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis and SNK test. Results: Significant statistical differences (p< 0.05) for surface roughness and bacterial adhesion reduction were observed on conventional brackets after surface treatment and between conventional and self-ligating brackets; no significant statistical differences were observed between self-ligating groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Plasma-polymerized film deposition was only effective on reducing surface roughness and bacterial adhesion in conventional brackets. It was also noted that conventional brackets showed lower biofilm adhesion than self-ligating brackets despite the absence of film.

Abstract
The rise in multidrug resistant bacteria is an area of growing concern and it is essential to identify new biocidal agents. Cationic grafted compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial properties using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests. Synergy testing was carried out using the compounds in the presence of ultraviolet (UV). Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) and fractional bactericidal concentration (FBC) tests were carried out using the cationic molecules in conjunction with metal ion solutions of gold, silver, palladium, platinum, rhodium, titanium, tin, vanadium and molybdenum. Individually, the cationic compounds containing quaternary amines, polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) with long polyacrylate grafts (PPV-g-PMETAC (HMw)), polyphenylene ethylene (PPE) with long polyacrylate grafts (PPE-g-PMETAC (HMw)), polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) with short polyacrylate grafts (PPV-g-PMETAC (LMw)) and polyphenylene ethylene (PPE) with short polyacrylate grafts (PPE-g-PMETAC (LMw)) were effective against Enterococcus faecium. The most successful compound under UV was PPV-g-PMETAC (HMw). Following the FICs, palladium and rhodium ion solutions caused a synergistic reaction with all four tested compounds. The presence of conjugated bonds in the cationic molecules increased its antimicrobial activity. These results suggest that the chemical backbone of the compounds, alongside the chain lengths and chain attachment affect the antimicrobial efficacy of a compound. These factors should be taken into consideration when formulating new biocidal combinations.

Abstract
Biomedical device-associated infection (BAI) and lack of osseointegration are the main causes of implant failure. Therefore, it is imperative for implants not only to depress microbial activity and biofilm colonization but also to prompt osteoblast functions and osseointegration. As part of the coating development for implants, the interest of in vitro studies on the interaction between implant substrate morphology and the coating's biological performances is growing. In this study, by harnessing the adhesion and reactivity of bioinspired polydopamine, nano-silver was successfully anchored onto micro/nanoporous as well as smooth titanium surfaces to analyse the effect of substrate morphology on biological performances of the coatings. Compared with the smooth surface, a small size of nano-silver and high silver content was found on the micro/nanoporous surface. More mineralization happened on the coating on the micro/nanoporous structure than on the smooth surface, which led to a more rapid decrease of silver release from the micro/nanoporous surface. Antimicrobial tests indicated that both surfaces with resulting coating inhibit microbial colonization on them and growth around them, indicating that the coating eliminates the shortcoming of the porous structure which render the implant extremely susceptible to BAI. Besides, the multiple osteoblast responses of nano-silver-loaded dopamine coatings on both surfaces, i.e. attachment, proliferation and differentiation, have deteriorated, however the mineralized surfaces of these coatings stimulated osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, especially for the micro/nanoporous surface. Therefore, nano-silver-loaded dopamine coatings on micro/nanoporous substratum may not only reduce the risk of infection but also facilitate mineralization during the early post-operative period and then promote osseointegration owing to the good osteoblast-biocompatibility of the mineralized surface. These results clearly highlight the influence of the substrate morphology on the biological performances of implant coating.

Abstract
Implant-based therapy is a mature approach to recover the health conditions of patients affected by edentulism. Thousands of dental implants are placed each year since their introduction in the 80s. However, implantology faces challenges that require more research strategies such as new support therapies for a world population with a continuous increase of life expectancy, to control periodontal status and new bioactive surfaces for implants. The present review is focused on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for dental implant materials as a nanoscale-processing approach to modify titanium surfaces. SAMs represent an easy, accurate, and precise approach to modify surface properties. These are stable, well-defined, and well-organized organic structures that allow to control the chemical properties of the interface at the molecular scale. The ability to control the composition and properties of SAMs precisely through synthesis (i.e., the synthetic chemistry of organic compounds with a wide range of functional groups is well established and in general very simple, being commercially available), combined with the simple methods to pattern their functional groups on complex geometry appliances, makes them a good system for fundamental studies regarding the interaction between surfaces, proteins, and cells, as well as to engineering surfaces in order to develop new biomaterials.

Abstract
Titanium is the most widely used material for dental implants. The natural formation, in presence of oxygen, of different oxide films (passivation films) is correlated to titanium implant biocompatibility, resistance to corrosion and is responsible for implant bacteriostatic action. Surface roughness is another surface property of Ti-implants that, affecting implant-to-bone contact, improves integration. In the present study data concerning composition, surface roughness and biocompatibility of Ghimas implants and mini-implants undergoing sandblasting with Calcium Magnesium Carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2) are reported. AFM, SEM/EDX, XRD analyses and morphofunctional tests (MTT and ALP) were performed. Cell actin cytoskeletal modification (fluorescence phalloidin staining) was also observed with confocal laser microscopy (CLSM). Data related to surface geometry and chemical properties, associated with evidence of high purity of all the tested materials (XRD and EDX), highlighted the elevated biocompatibility of tested implants and mini-implants. CLSM investigation confirmed osteoblast features of an active cell behavior able to fit cell to chemico-mechanical stimuli present at the bone/implant interface and suggests an effective implant/alveolar bone integration in vivo.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) plays a predominant role as the material of choice in orthopaedic and dental implants. Despite the majority of Ti implants having long-term success, premature failure due to unsuccessful osseointegration leading to aseptic loosening is still too common. Recently, surface topography modification and biological/non-biological coatings have been integrated into orthopaedic/dental implants in order to mimic the surrounding biological environment as well as reduce the inflammation/infection that may occur. In this review, we summarize the impact of various Ti coatings on cell behaviour both in vivo and in vitro. First, we focus on the Ti surface properties and their effects on osteogenesis and then on bacterial adhesion and viability. We conclude from the current literature that surface modification of Ti implants can be generated that offer both osteoinductive and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
The application of secondary electron (SE) imaging, backscattered electron imaging (BSE) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) was investigated in this work to study the bacterial adhesion and proliferation on a commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) and a Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti 64) with respect to substrate microstructure and chemical composition. Adherence of Gram-positive Staphylococcus epidermidis 11047 and Streptococcus sanguinis GW2, and Gram-negative Serratia sp. NCIMB 40259 and Escherichia coli 10418 was compared on cp Ti, Ti 64, pure aluminium (Al) and vanadium (V). The substrate microstructure and the bacterial distribution on these metals were characterised using SE, BSE and EBSD imaging. It was observed that titanium alloy-phase structure, grain boundaries and grain orientation did not influence bacterial adherence or proliferation at microscale. Adherence of all four strains was similar on cp Ti and Ti 64 surfaces whilst inhibited on pure Al. This work establishes a nondestructive and straight-forward statistical method to analyse the relationship between microbial distribution and metal alloy structure.

The Bioactivity and Photocatalytic Properties of Titania Nanotube Coatings Produced with the Use of the Low-Potential Anodization of Ti6Al4V Alloy Surface. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2017; 7:E197.

Abstract
Titania nanotube (TNT) coatings were produced using low-potential anodic oxidation of Ti6Al4V substrates in the potential range 3-20 V. They were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The wettability was estimated by measuring the contact angle when applying water droplets. The bioactivity of the TNT coatings was established on the basis of the biointegration assay (L929 murine fibroblasts adhesion and proliferation) and antibacterial tests against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213). The photocatalytic efficiency of the TNT films was studied by the degradation of methylene blue under UV irradiation. Among the studied coatings, the TiO₂ nanotubes obtained with the use of 5 V potential (TNT5) were found to be the most appropriate for medical applications. The TNT5 sample possessed antibiofilm properties without enriching it by additional antimicrobial agent. Furthermore, it was characterized by optimal biocompatibility, performing better than pure Ti6Al4V alloy. Moreover, the same sample was the most photocatalytically active and exhibited the potential for the sterilization of implants with the use of UV light and for other environmental applications.
