Abstract
The aim of this work is to review the application of bioceramic materials in the context of current regenerative dentistry therapies, focusing on the latest advances in the synthesis of advanced materials using the sol-gel methodology. Chemical synthesis, processing and therapeutic possibilities are discussed in a structured way, according to the three main types of ceramic materials used in regenerative dentistry: bioactive glasses and glass ceramics, calcium phosphates and calcium silicates. The morphology and chemical composition of these bioceramics play a crucial role in their biological properties and effectiveness in dental therapeutics. The goal is to understand their chemical, surface, mechanical and biological properties better and develop strategies to control their pore structure, shape, size and compositions. Over the past decades, bioceramic materials have provided excellent results in a wide variety of clinical applications related to hard tissue repair and regeneration. Characteristics, such as their similarity to the chemical composition of the mineral phase of bones and teeth, as well as the possibilities offered by the advances in nanotechnology, are driving the development of new biomimetic materials that are required in regenerative dentistry. The sol-gel technique is a method for producing synthetic bioceramics with high purity and homogeneity at the molecular scale and to control the surfaces, interfaces and porosity at the nanometric scale. The intrinsic nanoporosity of materials produced by the sol-gel technique correlates with the high specific surface area, reactivity and bioactivity of advanced bioceramics.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 128:112314. [PMID: 34474865 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
We used an in situ chemical oxidation method to prepare a new composite of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with polypyrrole (PPy), whose properties were optimized through a 23-factorial design of the synthesis conditions. The successful formation of the AgNPs/PPy composite was confirmed by UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopies. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of AgNPs smaller than 100 nm, dispersed into the PPy matrix. This hybrid composite exhibits a blue fluorescence emission after excitation in the ultraviolet region. In MTT assays, the AgNPs/PPy composite exhibited low cytotoxicity toward non-tumoral cell lines (fibroblast, Vero, and macrophages) and selectively inhibited the viability of HeLa cells. The AgNPs/PPy composite induces ultrastructural changes in HeLa cells that are consistent with the noticeable selectivity exhibited toward them when compared to its action against non-tumoral cell lineages. Also, the AgNPs/PPy exhibited a hemolytic activity below 14% for all blood groups tested, at concentrations up to 125 μg/mL. These results suggest that the AgNPs/PPy composite has a promising potential for use as an antitumoral agent.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanosized particles are very beneficial in the field of biomedicine. Bioactive and highly biocompatible calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles (∼50 nm) exhibiting both superparamagnetic and fluorescence properties were synthesized by incorporating dual ions (Fe3+ and Sr2+) in HAp (hydroxyapatite) [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2]. Insertion of Fe3+ creates oxygen vacancies at the PO43- site, thereby destabilizing the structure. Thus, in order to maintain the structural stability, Sr2+ has been incorporated. This incorporation of Sr2+ leads to an intense emission at 550 nm. HAp nanoparticles when subjected to thermal treatment (800 °C) transform to β-TCP, exhibiting emission at 710 nm due to the emergence of an intermediate band. Moreover, these nanoparticles exhibit fluorescence in visible light when compared to the other UV and IR fluorescence excitation sources which could damage the tissues. The synthesis involving the combination of ultrasound and microwave techniques resulted in the distribution of Fe3+ in the interstitial sites of CaP, which is responsible for the excellent fluorescent properties. Moreover, thermally treated CaP becomes superparamagnetic, without affecting the desired optical properties. The bioactive, biocompatible, magnetic, and fluorescent properties of this resorbable CaP which is free from toxic heavy metals (Eu, Gd, etc.) could help in overcoming the long-term cytotoxicity. This could also be useful in tracking the location of the nanoparticles during drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. The bioactive fluorescent CaP nanoparticle helps in monitoring the bone growth and in addition, it could be employed in cell imaging applications. The in vitro MCF-7 imaging using the nanoparticles after 24 h of uptake at 465 nm evidences the bioimaging capability of the prepared nanoparticles. The reproducibility of the defect level is essential for the defect-induced emission properties. The synthesis of nontoxic fluorescent CaP is highly reproducible with the present synthesis method. Hence, it could be safely employed in various biomedical applications.

Bioactive Sr 2+/Fe 3+co-substituted hydroxyapatite in cryogenically 3D printed porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Biofabrication 2021; 13.

Abstract
Developing multi-doped bioceramics that possess biological multifunctionality is becoming increasingly attractive and promising for bone tissue engineering. In this view innovative Sr2+/Fe3+co-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite with gradient doping concentrations fixed at 10 mol% has been deliberately designed previously. Herein, to evaluate their therapeutic potentials for bone healing, novel gradient SrFeHA/PCL scaffolds are fabricated by extrusion cryogenic 3D printing technology with subsequent lyophilization. The obtained scaffolds exhibit desired 3D interconnected porous structure and rough microsurface, along with appreciable release of bioactive Sr2+/Fe3+from SrFeHA components. These favorable physicochemical properties render printed scaffolds realizing effective biological applications bothin vitroandin vivo, particularly the moderate co-substituted Sr7.5Fe2.5HA and Sr5Fe5HA groups exhibit remarkably enhanced bioactivity that not only promotes the functions of MC3T3 osteoblasts and HUVECs directly, but also energetically manipulates favorable macrophages activation to concurrently facilitate osteogenesis/angiogenesis. Moreover,in vivosubcutaneous implantation and cranial defects repair outcomes further confirm their superior capacity to dictate immune reaction, implants vascularization andin situbone regeneration, mainly dependent on the synergetic effects of released Sr2+/Fe3+. Accordingly, for the first time, present study highlights the great potential of Sr7.5Fe2.5HA and Sr5Fe5HA for ameliorating bone regeneration process by coupling of immunomodulation with enhanced angio- and osteogenesis and hence may provide a new promising alternative for future bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Surface treatment and bioactive metal ion incorporation are effective methods for the modification of titanium alloys to be used as biomaterials. However, few studies have demonstrated the use of air-plasma treatment in orthopedic biomaterial development. Additionally, no study has performed a direct comparison between unmodified titanium alloys and air-plasma-treated alloys with respect to their biocompatibility and osteogenesis. In this study, the biological activities of unmodified titanium alloys, air-plasma-treated titanium alloys, and air-plasma-treated strontium-doped/undoped calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings were compared. The strontium-doped CaP (Sr-CaP) coating on titanium alloys were produced by selective laser melting (SLM) technology as well as micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and air-plasma treatment. The results revealed that rapid air-plasma treatment improved the biocompatibility of titanium alloys and that Sr-CaP coating together with air-plasma treatment significantly enhanced both the biocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Overall, this study demonstrated that low temperature air-plasma treatment is a fast and effective surface modification which improves the biocompatibility of titanium alloys. Additionally, air-plasma-treated Sr-CaP coatings have numerous practical applications and may provide researchers with new tools to assist in the development of orthopedic implants.
