Oxide degradation precedes additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V selective dissolution: An unsupervised machine learning correlation of impedance and dissolution compared to Ti-29Nb-21Zr. J Biomed Mater Res A 2024; 112:1250-1264. [PMID: 37877770 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V devices are implanted with increasing frequency. While registry data report short-term success, a gap persists in our understanding of long-term AM Ti-6Al-4V corrosion behavior. Retrieval studies document β phase selective dissolution on conventionally manufactured Ti-6Al-4V devices. Researchers reproduce this damage in vitro by combining negative potentials (cathodic activation) and inflammatory simulating solutions (H2O2-phosphate buffered saline). In this study, we investigate the effects of these adverse electrochemical conditions on AM Ti-6Al-4V impedance and selective dissolution. We hypothesize that cathodic activation and H2O2 solution will degrade the oxide, promoting corrosion. First, we characterized AM Ti-6Al-4V samples before and after a 48 h -0.4 V hold in 0.1 M H2O2/phosphate buffered saline. Next, we acquired nearfield electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data. Finally, we captured micrographs and EIS during dissolution. Throughout, we used AM Ti-29Nb-21Zr as a comparison. After 48 h, AM Ti-6Al-4V selectively dissolved. Ti-29Nb-21Zr visually corroded less. Structural changes at the AM Ti-6Al-4V oxide interface manifested as property changes to the impedance. After dissolution, the log-adjusted constant phase element (CPE) parameter, Q, significantly increased from -4.75 to -3.84 (Scm-2(s)α) (p = .000). The CPE exponent, α, significantly decreased from .90 to .84 (p = .000). Next, we documented a systematic decrease in oxide polarization resistance before pit nucleation and growth. Last, using k-means clustering, we established a structure-property relationship between impedance and the surface's dissolution state. These results suggest that AM Ti-6Al-4V may be susceptible to in vivo crevice corrosion within modular taper junctions.

Abstract
Biomimetic dental implants are regarded as one of the recent clinical advancements in implant surface modification. Coatings with varying thicknesses and roughness may affect the dental implant surface's chemical inertness, cell adhesion, and antibacterial characteristics. Different surface coatings and mechanical surface changes have been studied to improve osseointegration and decrease peri-implantitis. The surface medication increases surface energy, leading to enhanced cell proliferation and growth factors, and, consequently, to a rise in the osseointegration process. This review provides a comprehensive update on the numerous biomimetic coatings used to improve the surface characteristics of dental implants and their applications in two main categories: coating to improve osseointegration, including the hydroxyapatite layer and nanocomposites, growth factors (BMPs, PDGF, FGF), and extracellular matrix (collagen, elastin, fibronectin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronan, and other proteoglycans), and coatings for anti-bacterial performance, covering drug-coated dental implants (antibiotic, statin, and bisphosphonate), antimicrobial peptide coating (GL13K and human beta defensins), polysaccharide antibacterial coatings (natural chitosan and its coupling agents) and metal elements (silver, zinc, and copper).

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to assess the stress distribution of the zygomatic implants in maxillectomy cases and to understand the long-term prognosis of this rehabilitation option using finite element analysis. Materials and Methods A three-dimensional finite element model was designed using computed tomography of a patient who underwent maxillectomy post-mucormycosis. Zygomatic implants and abutments were designed based on the manufacturer's design. Quad zygomatic implants were placed in the canine and premolar region into the zygomatic bone bilaterally. A prosthesis with an entire complement of teeth extending from the first molar teeth bilaterally was designed and attached to the multiunit abutments and zygomatic implants. Forces were applied to the zygomatic implants at six different locations bilaterally on the prosthesis which included occlusal and laterally directed forces on the central incisor region, canine region, and molar region using von Mises criteria. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was run, and maximum stress distribution was recorded at various loads. Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows version 22.0 Released 2013. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp., was used to perform statistical analyses. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the mean stress values. Multiple comparisons of mean difference in stress values between force applications in implant were done using Dunn's post hoc test. Results The maximum stress was observed at the distal head of the implant in the models. Minimum stress was observed at the apex of the implant in the models. The mean stress values based on force application in the bone and fixed prosthesis showed less significance when compared to the zygomatic implants which was statistically significant at p = 0.03.

Fused Deposition Modeling Parameter Optimization for Cost-Effective Metal Part Printing. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14163264.

Abstract
Metal 3D-printed parts are critical in industries such as biomedical, surgery, and prosthetics to create tailored components for patients, but the costs associated with traditional metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are typically prohibitive. To overcome this disadvantage, more cost-effective manufacturing processes are needed, and a good approach is to combine fused deposition modeling (FDM) with debinding-sintering processes. Furthermore, optimizing the printing parameters is required to improve material density and mechanical performance. The design of experiment (DoE) technique was used to evaluate the impact of three printing factors, namely nozzle temperature, layer thickness, and flow rate, on the tensile and bending properties of sintered 316L stainless steel in this study. Green and sintered samples were morphologically and physically characterized after printing, and the optimal printing settings were determined by statistical analysis, which included the surface response technique. The mechanical properties of the specimens increased as the flow rate and layer thickness increased and the nozzle temperature decreased. The optimized printing parameters for the ranges used in this study include 110% flow rate, 140 μm layer thickness, and 240 °C nozzle temperature, which resulted in sintered parts with a tensile strength of 513 MPa and an elongation at break of about 60%.

MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15144731. [PMID: 35888198 PMCID: PMC9315853 DOI: 10.3390/ma15144731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The high cost of biofabricated titanium mesh plates can make them out of reach for hospitals in low-income countries. To increase the availability of cranioplasty, the authors of this work investigated the production of polymer-based endoprostheses. Recently, cheap, popular desktop 3D printers have generated sufficient opportunities to provide patients with on-demand and on-site help. This study also examines the technologies of 3D printing, including SLM, SLS, FFF, DLP, and SLA. The authors focused their interest on the materials in fabrication, which include PLA, ABS, PET-G, PEEK, and PMMA. Three-dimensional printed prostheses are modeled using widely available CAD software with the help of patient-specific DICOM files. Even though the topic is insufficiently researched, it can be perceived as a relatively safe procedure with a minimal complication rate. There have also been some initial studies on the costs and legal regulations. Early case studies provide information on dozens of patients living with self-made prostheses and who are experiencing significant improvements in their quality of life. Budget 3D-printed endoprostheses are reliable and are reported to be significantly cheaper than the popular counterparts manufactured from polypropylene polyester.
