Abstract
AbstractIn this study, a promising modified composite scaffold (hydroxyapatite/hyperbranched polyitaconic acid/chitosan) was synthesized for bone tissue engineering. Novel hyperbranched polyitaconic acid was prepared through the polymerization of itaconic acid using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer using a macro‐RAFT agent. The chemical structure of the prepared hyperbranched polyitaconic acid was characterized by FTIR and 1HNMR and was subsequently embedded into hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite. The obtained modified composite scaffold was evaluated by characterizing its porosity, mechanical properties, bioactivity and cytotoxicity. The results showed that the modified composite scaffold had higher mechanical strength (i.e., 0.56 ± 0.03 MPa) in comparison to chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffold only (i.e., 0.31 ± 0.01 MPa) and also showed higher bioactivity. In addition, the modified composite scaffold (HAP/HBP‐RAFT‐PI/CS) showed anticancer properties and enhanced human skin fibroblasts proliferation.

Finite Element Analysis of Zirconia Dental Implant. PROSTHESIS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/prosthesis4030040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Titanium dental implants have had new competitors in recent years, such as fixtures made of zirconia, which promise better aesthetics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate their mechanical performance in silico (Finite Element Analysis). The investigation was performed on a single tooth Patent™ Dental Implant (Zircon Medical®, Altendorf, Switzerland) in two configurations: without offset (Test I) and with offset (Test II, 1.5 mm within the cortical bone). The Patent Implant system consists of two components: the implant with integrated abutment and the fibreglass post. The components of the dental implants were tested using a compression load of 400 N along the implant axis. The results showed that the chewing load generates stress distribution on the bone, therefore, the offset configuration should be avoided.

Abstract
Purpose Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and resonance frequency analyses (RFA) are promising methods to assess the stability of dental implants. The aim of this in vivo preclinical study is to compare the results obtained with these two techniques with the bone-implant contact (BIC) ratio, which is the gold standard to assess dental implant stability.Methods Twenty-two identical dental implants were inserted in the tibia and femur of 12 rabbits, which were sacrificed after different healing durations (0, 4, 8 and 13 weeks). For each implant, the ultrasonic indicator (UI) and the implant stability quotient (ISQ) were retrieved just before the animal sacrifice using the QUS and RFA techniques, respectively. Histomorphometric analyses were carried out to estimate the bone-implant contact ratio.Results UI values were found to be better correlated to BIC values (R²=0.47) compared to ISQ values (R²=0.39 for measurements in one direction and R²=0.18 for the other direction), which were shown to be dependent on the direction of measurements. Errors realized on the UI were around 3.3 times lower to the ones realized on the ISQ.Conclusions QUS provide a better estimation of dental implant stability compared to RFA. This study paves the way for the future clinical development of a medical device aiming at assessing dental implant stability in a patient-specific manner. Clinical studies should confirm these results in the future.

Abstract
In the field of biology and medicine, one hears often about stem cells and their potential. The dental implant new surfaces, subjected to specific treatments, perform better and allow for quicker healing times and better clinical performance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate from a biological point of view the interaction and cytotoxicity between stem cells derived from dental pulp (DPSCs) and titanium surfaces. Through the creation of complex cells/implant, this study is aimed at analyzing the cytotoxicity of dental implant surfaces (Myth (Maipek Manufacturer Industrial Care, Naples, Italy)) and the adhesion capacity of cells on them and at considering the essential factors for implant healing such as osteoinduction and vasculogenesis. These parameters are pointed out through histology (3D cell culture), immunofluorescence, proliferation assays, scanning electron microscopy, and PCR investigations. The results of the dental implant surface and its interaction with the DPSCs are encouraging, obtaining results increasing the mineralization of the tissues. The knowledge of this type of interaction, highlighting its chemical and biological features, is certainly also an excellent starting point for the development of even more performing surfaces for having better healing in the oral surgical procedures related to dental implant positioning.

An In Vivo Study in Rat Femurs of Bioactive Silicate Coatings on Titanium Dental Implants. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051290.

Abstract
Silica-based ceramics have been proposed for coating purposes to enhance dental and orthopedic titanium (Ti) implant bioactivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sphene-based bioceramic (CaO.TiO2.SiO2) coatings on implant osseointegration in vivo. Sphene coatings were obtained from preceramic polymers and nano-sized active precursors and deposited by an automatic airbrush. Twenty customized Ti implants, ten sphene-coated and ten uncoated rough implants were implanted into the proximal femurs of ten Sprague-Dawley rats. Overall, cortical and cancellous bone-to-implant contact (BIC) were determined using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) at 14 and 28 days. Moreover, peri-implant bone healing was histologically and histomorphometrically evaluated. The white blood cell count in the synovial fluid of the knee joints, if present, was also assessed. No difference in the BIC values was observed between the sphene-coated and uncoated implants, overall and in the two bone compartments (p > 0.05). Delamination of the coating occurred in three cases. Consistently with micro-CT data, the histological evaluation revealed no differences between the two groups. In addition, no synovial fluid could be collected on the test side, thus confirming sphene biocompatibility. In conclusion, sphene coating was found to be a suitable material for biomedical applications. Further studies are needed to improve coating adhesion to the implants.

Effect on osseointegration of two implant macro-designs:A histomorphometric analysis of bicortically installed implants in different topographic sites of rabbit's tibiae. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal 2019; 24:e502-e510.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of two different implant macro-designs on the sequential osseointegration at bicortically installed implants in the rabbit tibia. A further aim is to compare the osseointegration at different topographic zones. MATERIAL AND METHODS 27 New Zealand rabbits were implemented. Two implants, one for each macro-design (Ticare Inhex® or Ticare Quattro®, Mozo-Grau, Valladolid, Spain), were randomly implanted in the diaphysis or metaphysis of each tibia. The flaps were sutured to allow a submerged healing. The animals were sacrificed after 2, 4 or 8 weeks. Ground sections were prepared and analyzed. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups for newly formed bone in contact with the implant surface, being about 16%, 19% and 33% in both groups, after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of healing. Bone apposition was slightly higher in the diaphysis, reaching values of 36.4% in the diaphysis, and 29.3% in the metaphysis at 8 weeks of healing. It was observed that the implant position showed a statistical significance regarding BIC values at 4 and 8 weeks (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis fails to detect statistical significant differences for the interaction between implant designs and topographic site. Ticare Quattro® design had a slight better BIC values at diaphysis sites across healing stages, but without reaching a statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS The both implant macro-designs provided similar degrees of osseointegration. Bone morphometry and density may affect bone apposition onto the implant surface. The apposition rates were slightly better in diaphysis compared to metaphysis.

Abstract
Threads of dental implants with healing chamber configurations have become a target to improve osseointegration. This biomechanical and histometric study aimed to evaluate the influence of implant healing chamber configurations on the torque removal value (RTv), percentage of bone-to-implant contact (BIC%), bone fraction occupancy inside the thread area (BAFO%), and bone and osteocyte density (Ost) in the rabbit tibia after two months of healing. Titanium implants with three different thread configurations were evaluated: Group 1 (G1), with a conventional “v” thread-shaped implant design; Group 2 (G2), with square threads; and Group 3 (G3), the experimental group with longer threads (healing chamber). Ten rabbits (4.5 ± 0.5 kg) received three implants in each tibia (one per group), distributed in a randomized manner. After a period of two months, the tibia blocks (implants and the surrounding tissue) were removed and processed for ground sectioning to evaluate BIC%, BAFO%, and osteocyte density. The ANOVA one-way statistical test was used followed by the Bonferoni’s multiple comparison test to determine individual difference among groups, considering a statistical difference when p < 0.05. Histometric evaluation showed a higher BAFO% values and Ost density for G3 in comparison with the other two groups (G1 and G2), with p < 0.05. However, the RTv and BIC% parameters were not significantly different between groups (p > 0.05). The histological data suggest that the healing chambers in the implant macrogeometry can improve the bone reaction in comparison with the conventional thread design.

Sandblasted and Acid Etched Titanium Dental Implant Surfaces Systematic Review and Confocal Microscopy Evaluation. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12111763. [PMID: 31151256 PMCID: PMC6600780 DOI: 10.3390/ma12111763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Revised: 05/26/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The field of dental implantology has made progress in recent years, allowing safer and predictable oral rehabilitations. Surely the rehabilitation times have also been reduced, thanks to the advent of the new implant surfaces, which favour the osseointegration phases and allow the clinician to rehabilitate their patients earlier. To carry out this study, a search was conducted in the Pubmed, Embase and Elsevier databases; the articles initially obtained according to the keywords used numbered 283, and then subsequently reduced to 10 once the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The review that has been carried out on this type of surface allows us to fully understand the features and above all to evaluate all the advantages or not related. The study materials also are supported by a manufacturing company, which provided all the indications regarding surface treatment and confocal microscopy scans. In conclusion, we can say that, thanks to these new surfaces, it has been possible to shorten the time necessary to obtain osseointegration and, therefore, secondary stability on the part of implants. The surfaces, therefore, guarantee an improved cellular adhesion and thanks to the excellent wettability all the biological processes that derive from it, such as increases in the exposed implant surface, resulting in an increase in bone-implant contact (BIC).
