Fluoridated Apatite Coating on Human Dentin via Laser-Assisted Pseudo-Biomineralization with the Aid of a Light-Absorbing Molecule. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415981. [PMID: 36555621 PMCID: PMC9781595 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415981] [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: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple, area-specific coating technique for fluoridated apatite (FAp) on teeth would be useful in dental applications. Recently, we achieved area-specific FAp coating on a human dentin substrate within 30 min by a laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process; pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation in a fluoride-containing supersaturated calcium phosphate solution (FCP solution). The LAB-processed, FAp-coated dentin substrate exhibited antibacterial activity against a major oral bacterium, Streptococcus mutans. In the present study, we refined the LAB process with a combination of a dental diode laser and a clinically approved light-absorbing molecule, indocyanine green (ICG). A micron-thick FAp layer was successfully formed on the dentin surface within only 3 min by the refined LAB process, i.e., dental diode laser irradiation in the FCP solution following ICG treatment. The ICG layer precoated on the dentin substrate played a crucial role in inducing rapid pseudo-biomineralization (FAp layer formation) on the dentin surface by absorbing laser light at the solid-liquid interface. In the refined LAB process, the precoated ICG layer was eliminated and replaced with the newly formed FAp layer composed of vertically oriented pillar-like nanocrystals. Cross-sectional ultrastructural analysis revealed a smooth interface between the FAp layer and the dentin substrate. The refined LAB process has potential as a tool for the tooth surface functionalization and hence, is worth further process refinement and in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Previously, we achieved one-pot fabrication of heparin-immobilized calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles with high dispersibility by a precipitation process in a highly supersaturated reaction solution. In this study, we revealed that the heparin-immobilized CaP nanoparticles have a greater co-immobilizing capacity for basic proteins than for acidic proteins. In this process, heparin acted as not only a particle-dispersing agent but also as an immobilizing agent for basic proteins; it remarkably (approximately three-fold) improved the immobilization efficiency of cytochrome C (a model basic protein) within the CaP nanoparticles. The content of cytochrome C immobilized within the nanoparticles was increased with an increase in cytochrome C concentration in the reaction solution and by aging the nanoparticles. The obtained nanoparticles were dispersed well in water owing to their large negative zeta potentials derived from heparin, irrespective of the content of cytochrome C. Similar results were obtained also for another basic protein, lysozyme, but not for an acidic protein, albumin; the immobilization efficiency of albumin within the nanoparticles was decreased by heparin. These findings provide new insights into the co-immobilization strategy of proteins within heparin-immobilized CaP nanoparticles and will be useful in the design and fabrication of nanocarriers for protein delivery applications.

Abstract
During the past decade, there has been extensive research toward the possibility of exploring magnesium and its alloys as biocompatible and biodegradable materials for implantable applications. Its practical medical application, however, has been limited to specific areas owing to rapid corrosion in the initial stage and the consequent complications. Surface coatings can significantly reduce the initial corrosion of Mg alloys, and several studies have been carried out to improve the adhesion strength of the coating to the surfaces of the alloys. The composition of hydroxyapatite (HAp) is very similar to that of bone tissue; it is one of the most commonly used coating materials for bone-related implants owing to favorable osseointegration post-implantation. In this study, HAp was coated on Mg using nanosecond laser coating, combining the advantages of chemical and physical treatments. Photothermal heat generated in the liquid precursor by the laser improved the adhesion of the coating through the precipitation and growth of HAp at the localized nanosecond laser focal area and increased the corrosion resistance and cell adhesion of Mg. The physical, crystallographic, and chemical bondings were analyzed to explore the mechanism through which the surface adhesion between Mg and the HAp coating layer increased. The applicability of the coating to Mg screws used for clinical devices and improvement in its corrosion property were confirmed. The liquid environment-based laser surface coating technique offers a simple and quick process that does not require any chemical ligands, and therefore, overcomes a potential obstacle in its clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of new clinical regenerative procedures is needed for the reconstruction of the connective tissue attachment lost to periodontal disease. Apatite coating on the affected root surfaces could improve root surface biocompatibility and promote the reestablishment of connective tissue attachment. HIGHLIGHT We developed two novel techniques that use laser light for coating the tooth surface with apatite. In the laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process, a tooth substrate was placed in a supersaturated calcium phosphate solution and irradiated for 30 minutes with low-energy pulsed laser light. Due to the laser-assisted pseudo-biomineralization, a submicron-thick apatite film was created on the laser-irradiated tooth surface. Furthermore, we created a fluoride-incorporated apatite film on the tooth surface using the LAB process and demonstrated its antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. In the laser-induced forward transfer with optical stamp (LIFTOP) process, a thin apatite film loaded with the cell-adhesion protein, fibronectin, was prepared beforehand as a raw material on the optical stamp (carbon- and polydimethylsiloxane-coated support) by a conventional biomimetic process. After irradiation with a single laser pulse, the film (microchip) was transferred onto a tooth substrate via laser ablation of the carbon sacrificial layer. The LIFTOP process requires only a short processing time and has a minimal heat effect on the film; thus, the film exhibits cell adhesion activity even after the LIFTOP process. CONCLUSION The LAB and LIFTOP processes have the potential as novel tools for tooth surface modification in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Antibacterial tooth surface created by laser-assisted pseudo-biomineralization in a supersaturated solution. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 116:111170.

Abstract
A technique for implementing biocompatible and antibacterial functions to a targeted region on tooth surfaces has potential in dental treatments. We have recently demonstrated pseudo-biomineralization, i.e., the growth of an apatite layer on a human dentin substrate by a laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process, based on pulsed laser irradiation in a supersaturated CaP solution. In this study, pseudo-biomineralization was induced in the presence of fluoride ions using the LAB process in order to fabricate an antibacterial fluoride-incorporated apatite (FAp) layer on the dentin surface. After processing for 30 min, a micron-thick FAp layer was formed heterogeneously at the laser-irradiated solid-liquid interface via pseudo-biomineralization. A time-course study revealed that the LAB process first eliminated the pre-existing organic layer, while allowing fluoride incorporation into the dentin surface within 1 min. Within 5 min, FAp nanocrystals precipitated on the dentin surface. Within 30 min, these nanocrystals acquired a pillar-like structure that was weakly oriented in the direction normal to the substrate surface to form a dense micron-thick layer. This layer was integrated seamlessly with the underlying dentin without any apparent gaps. The FAp layer exhibited antibacterial activity against a major oral bacterium, Streptococcus mutans. The proposed LAB process is expected to be a useful new tool for tooth surface functionalization via facile and area-specific pseudo-biomineralization.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based submicrospheres containing magnetic iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (IO-CaP submicrospheres) have potential for various biomedical applications. We recently achieved facile one-pot fabrication of IO-CaP submicrospheres using a laser-assisted precipitation process in which weak pulsed laser irradiation was applied to a labile CaP reaction mixture supplemented with ferrous ions under adequate pH. In this study, we performed cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the resulting IO-CaP submicrospheres. The cross-sectional TEM analysis revealed that the IO-CaP submicrospheres were heterogeneous in their internal nanostructures and could be categorized into two types, namely types A and B. The type A submicrospheres contained single nano-sized IO nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed throughout the CaP-based matrix. The type B submicrospheres contained larger IO nanoparticles with an irregular or spherical shape, which were mostly a few tens of nanometers in size along with one or two submicron-sized domains. These findings provide new insight into the formation mechanism of IO-CaP submicrospheres in this fabrication technique as well as future applications of the resulting IO-CaP submicrospheres.

Abstract
A technique for tooth surface modification with biocompatible calcium phosphate (CaP) has huge potential in dental applications. Recently, we achieved a facile and area-specific CaP coating on artificial materials by a laser-assisted biomimetic process (LAB process), which consists of pulsed laser irradiation in a supersaturated CaP solution. In this study, we induced the rapid biomineralization on the surface of human dentin by using the LAB process. A human dentin substrate was immersed in a supersaturated CaP solution, then its surface was irradiated with weak pulsed laser light for 30 min (LAB process). Ultrastructural analyses revealed that the pristine substrate had a demineralized collagenous layer on its surface due to the previous EDTA surface cleaning. After the LAB process, this collagenous layer disappeared and was replaced with a submicron-thick hydroxyapatite layer. We believe that the laser irradiation induced pseudo-biomineralization through the laser ablation of the collagenous layer, followed by CaP nucleation and growth at the dentin-liquid interface. The mineralized layer on the dentin substrate consisted of needle-like hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, whose c-axes were weakly oriented along the direction perpendicular to the substrate surface. This LAB process would offer a new tool enabling tooth surface modification and functionalization through the in situ pseudo-biomineralization.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) coating is an effective method for surface-functionalization of bioinert materials and for production of osteoconductive implants. Recently, we developed a laser-assisted biomimetic process (LAB process) for facile and area-specific CaP coating. In this study, the LAB process was applied to chemically stable and mechanically durable poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK), which has become widely used as an orthopedic and dental implant material. The LAB process was carried out by irradiating pulsed Nd:YAG laser light (355 nm) onto a PEEK substrate that was immersed in supersaturated CaP solution. The CaP coating applicability depended on laser fluence, i.e., CaP successfully formed on PEEK surface after the LAB process at 2 W/cm2. Further increase in laser fluence did not result in the successful formation. At the optimal fluence of 2 W/cm2, the laser-irradiated PEEK surface was modified and heated to induce heterogeneous CaP precipitation within 10 min in CaP solution, followed by further CaP growth over the irradiation time (tested up to 30 min). The LAB process improved the cytocompatibility of PEEK surface with osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, the LAB-processed CaP-coated PEEK substrate formed a dense hydroxyapatite layer on its surface in the simulated body fluid, suggesting the osteoconductivity of this material. The present LAB process can be a useful new tool to produce osteoconductive PEEK-based implants.

Abstract
Surface functionalization of teeth with fluoride-incorporated apatite layers displays great potential in treatments and prevention of dental disorders. In this study, we used a sintered hydroxyapatite (sHA) substrate as a model material of teeth, and established a rapid and area-specific coating technique of fluoride-incorporated apatite layers by using a laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process. In this technique, a sHA substrate was irradiated on the surface with a Nd:YAG pulsed UV laser for 30 min in supersaturated calcium phosphate (CaP) solutions with various fluoride concentrations. The fluoride concentration in the CaP solution was varied to control morphology, crystalline structure, and fluoride content of the resulting layers. Without fluoride in the CaP solution, an octacalcium phosphate (OCP) layer with a flake-like structure was formed on the laser-irradiated surface of the substrate. The addition of fluoride (1000 µM and 3000 µM) to the CaP solution led to the formation of fluoride-incorporated apatite layers with an enamel-like needle-like nanostructure. The fluoride-incorporated apatite layers adhered firmly to the sHA surface and reduced acid dissolution of the sHA substrate by acting as a protective covering. Additionally, the layers released fluoride ions for more than 24 h, and exhibited antibacterial activity relative to a caries-causing bacterium, namely Streptococcus mutans. Thus, our LAB process can potentially act as a new tool for functionalization of tooth surfaces. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE We used a sintered hydroxyapatite (sHA) substrate as a model material of teeth, and established a rapid and area-specific coating technique of fluoride-incorporated apatite layers on the sHA surface by using our laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process. In this process, pulsed laser was utilized to accelerate seeded crystal growth in supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions supplemented with NaF. The thus-fabricated fluoride-incorporated apatite layers consisted of enamel-like needle-like nanocrystals with c-axis orientation. These fluoride-incorporated apatite layers adhered firmly to the sHA surface, reduced acid dissolution of the sHA substrate by acting as a protective covering, and exhibited antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans through the fluoride release. Thus, our LAB process can potentially act as a new tool for functionalization of tooth surfaces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dental composite resins with better biocompatibility and osteoconductivity have been sought in endodontic treatments. This study aimed to develop a technique to produce the osteoconductive resin surfaces through calcium phosphate (CaP) coating using a laser-assisted biomimetic (LAB) process. METHODS Light-cured, acrylic-based composite resins were used as substrates. The resin substrate was subjected to a LAB process comprising Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation in a supersaturated CaP solution. The LAB-processed substrate was immersed for 3 days in a simulated body fluid (SBF) for the preliminary osteoconductivity assessment. RESULTS After irradiation for 30 min, the resin surfaces were partly coated with a newly formed CaP layer. The coating layer contained hydroxyapatite as the main crystalline phase and the coating coverage depended on the laser wavelength and the type of resin. The LAB-processed CaP-coated surface exhibited apatite-forming ability in SBF. CONCLUSIONS LAB process is effective for CaP coating on light-cured dental composite resins and improving their osteoconductivity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The LAB process is a potential new tool to create a cementum-like osteoconductive surface on dental composite resins.

Facile one-pot fabrication of calcium phosphate-based composite nanoparticles as delivery and MRI contrast agents for macrophages. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017; 162:135-145. [PMID: 29190464 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2017.11.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Revised: 10/20/2017] [Accepted: 11/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
We developed a facile one-pot fabrication process for magnetic iron oxide-calcium phosphate (IO-CaP) composite nanoparticles via coprecipitation in labile supersaturated CaP solutions containing IO nanocrystals. All the source solutions used were clinically approved for injection, including water and magnetic IO nanocrystals (ferucarbotran, used as a negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent). This ensured that the resulting nanoparticles were pathogen- and endotoxin-free. The dispersants used were clinically approved heparin sodium (heparin) or adenosine triphosphate disodium hydrate (ATP), which were added to the IO-containing labile supersaturated CaP solutions. Both heparin and ATP coprecipitated with CaP and ferucarbotran to form heparin- and ATP-modified IO-CaP nanoparticles, respectively, with a hydrodynamic diameter of a few hundred nanometers. Both the resulting nanoparticles exhibited relatively large negative zeta potentials, caused by the negatively charged functional groups in heparin and ATP, which improved the particle dispersibility when compared to non-modified IO-CaP nanoparticles. The heparin-modified IO-CaP nanoparticles were effectively ingested by murine macrophages (RAW264.7) without showing significant cytotoxicity but barely ingested by non-phagocytotic human umbilical vein endothelial cells, indicating the potential of these nanoparticles for targeted delivery to macrophages. The heparin-modified IO-CaP nanoparticles exhibited a negative contrast enhancing ability for MRI. Our results show that IO-CaP nanoparticles have potential as delivery and MRI contrast agents for macrophages.

Facile Approach to Synthesize Gold Nanorod@Polyacrylic Acid/Calcium Phosphate Yolk-Shell Nanoparticles for Dual-Mode Imaging and pH/NIR-Responsive Drug Delivery. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2017; 10:7.

Abstract
A facile strategy to fabricate gold nanorod@polyacrylic acid/calcium phosphate (AuNR@PAA/CaP) yolk-shell nanoparticles (NPs) composed with a PAA/CaP shell and an AuNR yolk is reported. The as-obtained AuNR@PAA/CaP yolk-shell NPs possess ultrahigh doxorubicin (DOX) loading capability (1 mg DOX/mg NPs), superior photothermal conversion property (26%) and pH/near-infrared (NIR) dual-responsive drug delivery performance. The released DOX continuously increased due to the damage of the CaP shell at low pH values. When the DOX-loaded AuNR@PAA/CaP yolk-shell NPs were exposed to NIR irradiation, a burst-like drug release occurs owing to the heat produced by the AuNRs. Furthermore, AuNR@PAA/CaP yolk-shell NPs are successfully employed for synergic dual-mode X-ray computed tomography/photoacoustic imaging and chemo-photothermal cancer therapy. Therefore, this work brings new insights for the synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials and extends theranostic applications.

Physicochemical fabrication of antibacterial calcium phosphate submicrospheres with dispersed silver nanoparticles via coprecipitation and photoreduction under laser irradiation. Acta Biomater 2016; 46:299-307. [PMID: 27640919 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2016] [Revised: 09/01/2016] [Accepted: 09/14/2016] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
We achieved rapid, surfactant-free, and one-pot fabrication of antibacterial calcium phosphate (CaP) submicrospheres containing silver nanoparticles by combining physical laser and chemical coprecipitation processes. In this physicochemical process, weak pulsed laser irradiation (20min) was performed on a labile CaP reaction mixture supplemented with silver ions as a light-absorbing agent. The silver content in the submicrospheres was controlled for a wide range (Ag/P elemental ratio varied from 0.60 to 62.0) by tuning the initial concentration of silver ions (from 5 to 20mM) in the CaP reaction mixture. At the silver concentration of 5mM, we obtained unique nanocomposite particles: CaP submicrospheres (average diameter of approximately 500nm) containing metallic silver nanoparticles dispersed throughout, as a result of CaP and silver coprecipitation with simultaneous photoreduction of silver ions and spheroidization of the coprecipitates. These CaP submicrospheres containing silver nanoparticles (ca. 0.3mg silver per 1mg submicrospheres) exhibited antibacterial activity against major pathogenic oral bacteria, i.e., Streptococcus mutans, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Moreover, the CaP submicrospheres dissolved and neutralized the acidic environment generated by Streptococcus mutans, demonstrating their potential as acid-neutralizing and remineralizing agents. The present process and resulting antibacterial CaP-based submicrospheres are expected to be useful in dental healthcare and infection control. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Nano- and microsized spheres of calcium phosphate (CaP) containing silver nanoparticles have great potential in dental applications. Conventional fabrication processes were time-consuming or weak regarding the size/shape control of the spheres. In this study, we achieved a simple (one-pot), rapid (20-min irradiation), and surfactant-free fabrication of CaP submicrospheres containing silver nanoparticles by pulsed laser irradiation to a mixture of calcium, phosphate, and silver ion solutions. The resulting CaP submicrospheres contained metallic silver nanoparticles dispersed throughout in a sequence of reactions: CaP and silver coprecipitation, laser-induced melting and spheroidization of the coprecipitates, and photoreduction of silver ions. These submicrospheres showed antibacterial activity against oral bacteria and acid-neutralizing property in the bacterial suspension, and hence are worth considering for dental applications.
