Full physicochemical and biocompatibility characterization of a supercritical CO 2 sterilized nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan biodegradable scaffold for periodontal bone regeneration. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 146:213280. [PMID: 36682201 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Despite bone's innate self-renewal capability, some periodontal pathologic and traumatic defects' size inhibits full spontaneous regeneration. This current research characterized a 3D porous biodegradable nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan (nHAp/CS, 70/30) scaffold for periodontal bone regeneration, which preparation method includes the final solvent extraction and sterilization through supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Micro-CT analysis revealed the fully interconnected porous microstructure of the nHAp/CS scaffold (total porosity 78 %, medium pore size 200 μm) which is critical for bone regeneration. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed HAp crystals forming on the surface of the nHAp/CS scaffold after 21 days in simulated body fluid, demonstrating its bioactivity in vitro. The presence of nHAp in the scaffolds promoted a significantly lower biodegradation rate compared to a plain CS scaffold in PBS. Dynamic mechanical analysis confirmed their viscoelasticity, but the presence of nHAp significantly enhanced the storage modulus (42.34 ± 6.09 kPa at 10 Hz after 28 days in PBS), showing that it may support bone ingrowth at low-load bearing bone defects. Both scaffold types significantly inhibited the growth, attachment and colony formation abilities of S. aureus and E. coli, enhancing the relevance of chitosan in the grafts' composition for the naturally contaminated oral environment. At SEM and laser scanning confocal microscopy, MG63 cells showed normal morphology and could adhere and proliferate inside the biomaterials' porous structure, especially for the nHAp/CS scaffold, reaching higher proliferative rate at day 14. MG63 cells seeded within nHAp/CS scaffolds presented a higher expression of RUNX2, collagen A1 and Sp7 osteogenic genes compared to the CS samples. The in vivo subcutaneous implantation in mice of both scaffold types showed lower biodegradability with the preservation of the scaffolds porous structure that allowed the ingrowth of connective tissue until 5 weeks. Histology shows an intensive and progressive ingrowth of new vessels and collagen between the 3rd and the 5th week, especially for the nHAp/CS scaffold. So far, the scCO2 method enabled the production of a cost-effective and environment-friendly ready-to-use nHAp/CS scaffold with microstructural, chemical, mechanical and biocompatibility features that make it a suitable bone graft alternative for defect sites in an adverse environment as in periodontitis and peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Dental treatment is provided for a wide variety of oral health problems like dental caries, periodontal diseases, periapical infections, replacement of missing teeth and orthodontic problems. Various biomaterials, like composite resins, amalgam, glass ionomer cement, acrylic resins, metal alloys, impression materials, bone grafts, membranes, local anaesthetics, etc., are used for dental applications. The physical and chemical characteristics of these materials influence the outcome of dental treatment. It also impacts on the biological, allergic and toxic potential of biomaterials. With innovations in science and their positive results, there is also a need for awareness about the biological risks of these biomaterials. The aim of dental treatment is to have effective, yet safe, and long-lasting results for the benefit of patients. For this, it is important to have a thorough understanding of biomaterials and their effects on local and systemic health. Materials used in dentistry undergo a series of analyses before their oral applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first and original review that discusses the reasons for and studies on the toxicity of commonly used biomaterials for applications in dentistry. It will help clinicians to formulate a methodical approach for the selection of dental biomaterials, thus providing an awareness for forecasting their risk of toxic reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The failure rate for healing after rotator cuff repair is relatively high. PURPOSE To establish a system for sustained release of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) using an alginate scaffold and evaluate the effects of the sustained release of TGF-β1 on rotator cuff healing in a rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Before the in vivo animal study, a standard MTS assay was performed to evaluate cell proliferation and metabolic activity on the alginate scaffold. Additionally, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to confirm the capacity of the sustained release of TGF-β1-containing alginate scaffold. Once the in vitro studies were completed, bilateral supraspinatus tendon repairs were performed in 48 rabbits that were allocated to 3 groups (n = 16 each) (group 1, supraspinatus repair only; group 2, supraspinatus repair with TGF-β1 single injection; group 3, supraspinatus repair with TGF-β1 sustained release via an alginate-based delivery system). Biomechanical and histological analyses were performed to evaluate the quality of tendon-to-bone healing at 12 weeks after rotator cuff repair. RESULTS The cell proliferation rate of the alginate scaffold was 122.30% compared with the control (fresh medium) group, which confirmed that the alginate sheet had no cytotoxicity and enhanced cell proliferation. Additionally, the level of TGF-β1 was found to increase with time on the alginate scaffold. Biomechanically, group 3 exhibited a significantly heightened ultimate failure load compared with groups 1 and 2 (group 1, 74.89 ± 29.82 N; group 2, 80.02 ± 34.42 N; group 3, 108.32 ± 32.48 N; P = .011) and more prevalent midsubstance tear compared with group 1 ( P = .028). However, no statistical differences were found in the cross-sectional area of the supraspinatus tendon (group 1, 32.74 ± 9.38; group 2, 33.76 ± 8.89; group 3, 34.80 ± 14.52; P = .882) and ultimate stress (group 1, 2.62 ± 1.13 MPa; group 2, 2.99 ± 1.81 MPa; group 3, 3.62 ± 2.24 MPa; P = .317). Histologically, group 3 exhibited a significantly heightened modified total Bonar score (group 1, 5.00 ± 1.54; group 2, 6.12 ± 1.85; group 3, 7.50 ± 1.31; P = .001). In addition, the tendon-to-bone interface for group 3 demonstrated better collagen orientation, continuity, and organization, and the area of new fibrocartilage formation was more evident in group 3. CONCLUSION At 12 weeks after rotator cuff repair, the authors found improved biomechanical and histological outcomes for sustained release of TGF-β1 using alginate scaffold in a rabbit model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The alginate-bound growth factor delivery system might improve healing after rotator cuff repair in humans.
