Sulaiman MY, Wicaksono S, Dirgantara T, Mahyuddin AI, Sadputranto SA, Oli'i EM. Influence of bite force and implant elastic modulus on mandibular reconstruction with particulate-cancellous bone marrow grafts healing: An in silico investigation. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 157:106654. [PMID: 39042972 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to investigate tissue differentiation during mandibular reconstruction with particulate cancellous bone marrow (PCBM) graft healing using biphasic mechanoregulation theory under four bite force magnitudes and four implant elastic moduli to examine its implications on healing rate, implant stress distribution, new bone elastic modulus, mandible equivalent stiffness, and load-sharing progression. The finite element model of a half Canis lupus mandible, symmetrical about the midsagittal plane, with two marginal defects filled by PCBM graft and stabilized by porous implants, was simulated for 12 weeks. Eight different scenarios, which consist of four bite force magnitudes and four implant elastic moduli, were tested. It was found that the tissue differentiation pattern corroborates the experimental findings, where the new bone propagates from the superior side and the buccal and lingual sides in contact with the native bone, starting from the outer regions and progressing inward. Faster healing and quicker development of bone graft elastic modulus and mandible equivalent stiffness were observed in the variants with lower bite force magnitude and or larger implant elastic modulus. A load-sharing condition was found as the healing progressed, with M3 (Ti6Al4V) being better than M4 (stainless steel), indicating the higher stress shielding potentials of M4 in the long term. This study has implications for a better understanding of mandibular reconstruction mechanobiology and demonstrated a novel in silico framework that can be used for post-operative planning, failure prevention, and implant design in a better way.

Hosseini SA, Katoozian HR. Comparison of stress distribution in fully porous and dense-core porous scaffolds in dental implantation. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 156:106602. [PMID: 38805873 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the stress distribution in porous scaffolds with different structures with similar geometric parameters to study a new approach in dental implantation. Three-dimensional finite element models of the fully porous and dense-core porous scaffolds with defined porosity parameters including space diameter and thickness with two porosity patterns were embedded in the jaw bone model with cortical and cancellous bone. The cylindrical shape was considered as the main shape of the scaffolds. To evaluate the mechanical performance, the Von Mises stress was compared in the models under static and dynamic masticatory loading. Incidentally, to validate the modeling results, experimental strain gauge tests were performed on four specimens fabricated from Ti6Al4V. Finally, the stress distribution in the models was compared with the results of previous studies on commercial implants. The results of the finite element analysis show that there are considerable differences in the magnitude of the equivalent stress in the models in static and dynamic phases. Also, changes in the defined geometric parameters have significant effects on the stress distribution in terms of Von Mises stress in the overall models. The experimental results indicated good agreement with those of the modeling. It can be concluded that some porous structures with optimal geometries can be proposed as a new structure for dental implants. However, considering the physiology of bone when confronted with porous structures, further studies such as in vivo experiments are needed in this field.

Comparison of the biomechanical behavior between commercial and 3D-printed patient-specific Ti6Al4V L-Shaped titanium plates following le fort i osteotomy using finite element analysis: A technical Note. Med Eng Phys 2024; 129:104176. [PMID: 38906569 DOI: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2024.104176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the biomechanical behavior of three-dimensionally (3D) printed patient-specific Ti6Al4V with commercially made titanium mini plates following Lefort-I osteotomy using finite element analysis. METHODS Le Fort I osteotomy was virtually simulated with a 5 mm maxillary advancement and mediolateral rotation in the coronal plane, resulting in a 3 mm gap on the left side's posterior. Two fixation methods were modeled using software to compare 3D-printed Ti6Al4V and commercial titanium mini plates, both featuring a 4-hole l-shape with thicknesses of 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm at the strategic piriform rim and zygomaticomaxillary buttress locations. Using ANSYS R19.2, finite element models were developed to assess the fixation plates and maxilla's stress, strain, and displacement responses under occlusal forces of 125, 250, and 500 N/mm². RESULTS This comparative analysis revealed slight variation in stress, strain, and displacement between the two models under varying loading conditions. Stress analysis indicated maximum stress concentrations at the vertical change in the left posterior area between maxillary segments, with the Ti6Al4V model exhibiting slightly higher stress values (187 MPa, 375 MPa, and 750 MPa) compared to the commercial titanium model (175 MPa, 351 MPa, and 702 MPa). Strain analysis showed that the commercial titanium model recorded higher strain values at the bending area of the l-shaped miniplate. Moreover, displacement analysis revealed a maximum of 3 mm in the left posterior maxilla, with the Ti6Al4V model demonstrating slightly lower displacement values under equivalent forces. CONCLUSION The maximum stress, strain, and segment displacement of both fixation models were predominantly concentrated in the area of the gap between the maxillary segments. Notably, both fixation models exhibited remarkably close values, which can be attributed to the similar design of the fixation plates.

Abstract
The review critically evaluates the current state of studies investigating laser irradiation for modifying titanium surfaces to enhance the biointegration of dental implants. Laser modification is a rapidly evolving physicochemical surface modification process with the potential to revolutionize dental implant technology. A thorough search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Science Direct, MEDLINE, and Web of Knowledge, was conducted to identify relevant articles. The review focuses on the surface features of laser-modified implants, encompassing in vitro cell culture experiments, rare animal experiments, and limited clinical trials. Of the 26 selected sources, 21 describe surface features, while only two involve in vivo human experiments. The review highlights the lack of long-term clinical experience and calls for further research to mature these technologies. Despite the absence of a consensus on optimal laser types and settings, the overall results are promising, with few negative outcomes. As research in laser irradiation of titanium surfaces progresses, significant advancements in dental implant technology and improved patient well-being are anticipated.

Gallium-doped zirconia coatings modulate microbiological outcomes in dental implant surfaces. J Biomed Mater Res A 2024. [PMID: 38884299 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Despite the significant recent advances in manufacturing materials supporting advanced dental therapies, peri-implantitis still represents a severe complication in dental implantology. Herein, a sol-gel process is proposed to easily deposit antibacterial zirconia coatings onto bulk zirconia, material, which is becoming very popular for the manufacturing of abutments. The coatings' physicochemical properties were analyzed through x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy investigations, while their stability and wettability were assessed by microscratch testing and static contact angle measurements. Uniform gallium-doped tetragonal zirconia coatings were obtained, featuring optimal mechanical stability and a hydrophilic behavior. The biological investigations pointed out that gallium-doped zirconia coatings: (i) displayed full cytocompatibility toward human gingival fibroblasts; (ii) exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against the Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans pathogen; (iii) were able to preserve the commensal Streptococcus salivarius. Furthermore, the proteomic analyses revealed that the presence of Ga did not impair the normal oral microbiota. Still, interestingly, it decreased by 17% the presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum, a gram-negative, strictly anaerobic bacteria that is naturally present in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, this work can provide a valuable starting point for the development of coatings aimed at easily improving zirconia dental implants' performance.

Abstract
Purpose Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method that can deposit zirconia uniformly on an atomic basis. The effect of deposited zirconia on titanium implants using ALD was evaluated in vivo. Methods Machined titanium implants (MTIs) were used as the Control. MTIs treated by sandblasting with large grit and acid etching (SA) and MTIs deposited with zirconia using ALD are referred to as Groups S and Z, respectively. Twelve implants were prepared for each group. Six rabbits were used as experimental animals. To evaluate the osteogenesis and osteocyte aspects around the implants, radiological and histological analyses were performed. The bone-to-implant contact (BIC) ratio was measured and statistically analyzed to evaluate the osseointegration capabilities. Results In the micro-CT analysis, more radiopaque bone tissues were observed around the implants in Groups S and Z. Histological observation found that Groups S and Z had more and denser mature bone tissues around the implants in the cortical bone area. Many new and mature bone tissues were also observed in the medullary cavity area. For the BIC ratio, Groups S and Z were significantly higher than the Control in the cortical bone area (P < 0.017), but there was no significant difference between Groups S and Z. Conclusion MTIs deposited with zirconia using ALD (Group Z) radiologically and histologically showed more mature bone formation and activated osteocytes compared with MTIs (Control). Group Z also had a significantly higher BIC ratio than the Control. Within the limitations of this study, depositing zirconia on the surface of MTIs using ALD can improve osseointegration in vivo.

Abstract
Tooth loss during the lifetime of an individual is common. A strategy to treat partial or complete edentulous patients is the placement of dental implants. However, dental implants are subject to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, which cause an infection named peri-implantitis. The existing long-term treatments for peri-implantitis are generally inefficient. Thus, an electrical circuit was produced with zirconia (Zr) samples using a hot-pressing technique to impregnate silver (Ag) through channels and holes to create a path by LASER texturing. The obtained specimens were characterized according to vitro cytotoxicity, to ensure ZrAg non-toxicity. Furthermore, samples were inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus using 6.5 mA of alternating current (AC). The current was delivered using a potentiostat and the influence on the bacterial concentration was assessed. Using AC, the specimens displayed no bacterial adhesion (Log 7 reduction). The in vitro results presented in this study suggest that this kind of treatment can be an alternative and promising strategy to treat and overcome bacterial adhesion around dental implants that can evolve to biofilm.

Abstract
Stress distribution and its magnitude during loading heavily influence the osseointegration of dental implants. Currently, no high-resolution, three-dimensional method of directly measuring these biomechanical processes in the peri-implant bone is available. The aim of this study was to measure the influence of different implant materials on stress distribution in the peri-implant bone. Using the three-dimensional ARAMIS camera system, surface strain in the peri-implant bone area was compared under simulated masticatory forces of 300 N in axial and non-axial directions for titanium implants and zirconia implants. The investigated titanium implants led to a more homogeneous stress distribution than the investigated zirconia implants. Non-axial forces led to greater surface strain on the peri-implant bone than axial forces. Thus, the implant material, implant system, and direction of force could have a significant influence on biomechanical processes and osseointegration within the peri-implant bone.

[PMID: 38627712 PMCID: PMC11022491 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-024-00426-0] [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: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A randomized controlled clinical trial of dental implants was conducted to compare the clinical properties of a novel electrochemically deposited calcium phosphate coating to those of a common marketed surface treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty implants of the same brand and type were placed in 20 fully edentulous participants requiring mandibular implantation. The two study groups were defined by the surface treatment of the implants. 20 implants in the control group were coated via a commercial electrochemical surface treatment that forms a mixture of brushite and hydroxyapatite, while the remaining 20 in the test group were coated with a novel electrochemical Smart Bioactive Trabecular Coating (SBTC®). A split-mouth design was employed, with each participants receiving one control implant in one mandibular side and a test implant in the other. To mitigate potential operator-handedness bias, control and test implants were randomly assigned to mandibular sides. All cases underwent digital planning, implant placement with a static surgical guide, and participants received locator-anchored full-arch dentures. The primary outcome was implant stability (measured using Osstell ISQ) assessed at insertion, loading, and then 3 months, 9 months, and 2 years post-insertion. The secondary outcome was bone level change (in millimeters) over the 2-year observation period. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) was monitored using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Complications and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Successful osseointegration and implant stability were achieved in all cases, allowing loading. ISQ values steadily increased throughout the observation period. While no significant differences were observed between the SBTC® and control coatings, the test group exhibited a higher ISQ gain. Bone resorption was somewhat lower in the SBTC® but not significantly so. Patients' OHRQL significantly improved after denture delivery and remained stable throughout the follow-up. No complications or adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Based on the study results, we conclude that the new surface treatment is a safe alternative to the widely used control surface, demonstrating similar osseointegrative properties and time-dependent bone level changes. Further research may explore the broader implications of these findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier ID: NCT06034171.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia has become popular for dental implant abutments in the esthetic zone but can damage the implant connection interface. Studies have been conducted to compare zirconia abutments with conventional titanium abutments; however, a consensus or systematic review is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the performance of abutments made of zirconia and titanium in relation to wear and misfit at the implant-abutment interface. MATERIAL AND METHODS Electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science) were independently searched by 2 researchers for relevant studies published up to June 2021. The population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) question was "Do zirconia abutments cause greater wear at the implant-abutment interface than titanium abutments under occlusal forces?" Eligible studies included in vitro studies that evaluated changes in the surface of external and/or internal connections and single and/or multiple, screwed and/or cemented prostheses rehabilitated with titanium and zirconia abutments submitted to mechanical cycling. RESULTS Nine studies were included for qualitative analysis. A total of 172 specimens were analyzed, 86 zirconia and 86 titanium abutments. In terms of wear on the implant connection surface, zirconia abutments caused more severe wear, more scratches, and more rounding of the hexagonal angles at the implant connection interface than titanium abutments. In terms of misfit at the connection interface, zirconia abutments showed greater misfit than titanium abutments. CONCLUSIONS Zirconia abutments produce more wear at the titanium implant connection interface, titanium abutments showed better fit to the implant connection interface, and the fit can be influenced by the abutment manufacturing method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with all-polyethylene tibial (APT) components has shown comparable survivorship and clinical outcomes to that with metal-backed tibial (MBT). Although MBT is more frequently implanted, APT equivalents are considered a low-cost variant for elderly patients. A biomechanical analysis was assumed to be suitable to compare the response of the periprosthetic tibia after implantation of TKA NexGen APT and MBT equivalent. METHODS A standardised load model was used representing the highest load achieved during level walking. The geometry and material models were created using computed tomography data. In the analysis, a material model was created that represents a patient with osteopenia. RESULTS The equivalent strain distribution in the models of cancellous bone with an APT component showed values above 1000 με in the area below the medial tibial section, with MBT component were primarily localised in the stem tip area. For APT variants, the microstrain values in more than 80% of the volume were in the range from 300 to 1500 με, MBT only in less than 64% of the volume. CONCLUSION The effect of APT implantation on the periprosthetic tibia was shown as equal or even superior to that of MBT despite maximum strain values occurring in different locations. On the basis of the strain distribution, the state of the bone tissue was analysed to determine whether bone tissue remodelling or remodelling would occur. Following clinical validation, outcomes could eventually modify the implant selection criteria and lead to more frequent implantation of APT components.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) is one of the materials that can be used as an alternative material for dental implants because of its good mechanical, biocompatible, and aesthetic properties. The binder used for ceramic processing to help bond is polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which can increase the density of the ceramic material, and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is used as a plasticizer for PVA, so it is pretty soft when pressed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample was divided into five groups for volume shrinkage and compressive strength examination consisting of K1 (PVA 100%), K2 (PEG 100%), P1 (PVA:PEG 95:5), P2 (PVA:PEG 90:10), and P3 (PVA:PEG 85:15) and four groups on the surface roughness test, namely, K (PVA:PEG 1%), P1 (PVA:PEG 2%), P2 (PVA:PEG 3%), and P3 (PVA:PEG 4%). PVA:PEG binder with various concentrations was mixed with Y-TZP. The mixture was pressed using a uniaxial pressing method and continued by sintering at 1200°C for 4 hours. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Least significant difference (LSD) test result showed that there was a significant difference in the compressive strength value and shrinkage volume between groups K1 and K2 and P3, and groups K2 with P1, P2, and P3. Post hoc LSD surface roughness test showed a significant difference between groups K with P2 and P3 and P1 and P3 (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between K with P1 and P2 with P3. RESULTS The Y-TZP group with the PVA binder mixture had the highest compressive strength, while the highest volume shrinkage was found in the PEG group. The next highest compressive strength and volume shrinkage values were found in the PVA:PEG group with a ratio of 95:5, 102.44 MPa, and 12.5%. The best PVA:PEG ratio of 95:5 is used to make surface roughness measurement samples. The best results showed that mixing Y-TZP with 4% PVA:PEG binder had the highest surface roughness compared to other PVA:PEG binders, namely 1.3450 μm. CONCLUSION From this study, it can be concluded that the best PVA:PEG percentage ratio to produce volume shrinkage and compressive strength is 95:5. The higher the concentration of PVA:PEG (95:5) binder mixed with Y-TZP, the higher the porosity will be.

Abstract
Conductive dental implants are commonly used in restorative therapy to replace missing teeth in patients. Ensuring the radiofrequency (RF) safety of these patients is crucial when performing 7 T magnetic resonance scans of their heads. This study aimed to investigate RF-induced heating inside the human head with dental implants at 7 T. Dental implants and their attachments were fabricated and integrated into an anatomical head model, creating different measurement configurations (MCs). Numerical simulations were conducted using a 7 T transmit coil loaded with the anatomical head model, both with and without dental implants. The maximum temperatures inside the head for various MCs were computed using the maximum permissible input powers (MPIPs) obtained without dental implants and compared with published limits. Additionally, the MPIPs with dental implants were calculated for scenarios where the temperature limits were exceeded. The maximum temperatures observed inside the head ranged from 38.4°C to 39.6°C. The MPIPs in the presence of dental implants were 81.9%-97.3% of the MPIPs in the absence of dental implants for scenarios that exceeded the regulatory limit. RF-induced heating effect of the dental implants was not significant. The safe scanning condition in terms of RF exposure was achievable for patients with dental implants. For patients with conductive dental implants of unknown configuration, it is recommended to reduce the input power by 18.1% of MPIP without dental implants to ensure RF safety.

Machine learning-guided exploration and experimental assessment of unreported compositions in the quaternary Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd biocompatible metallic glass system. Acta Biomater 2024; 175:411-421. [PMID: 38135205 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Due to their outstanding elastic limit, biocompatible Ti-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are candidate materials to decrease the size of medical implants and therefore reduce their invasiveness. However, the practical use of classical Ti-BMGs in medical applications is in part hindered by their high copper content: more effort is thus required to design low-copper Ti-BMGs. In this work, in line with current rise in AI-driven tools, machine learning (ML) approaches, a neural-network ML model is used to explore the glass-forming ability (GFA) of unreported low-copper compositions within the biocompatible Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd system. Two types of models are trained and compared: one based on the alloy composition only, and a second based on various features derived from the alloying elements. Contrary to expectation, the predictive power of both models in evaluating GFA is similar. The compositional space identified by ML as promising is experimentally assessed, finding unfortunately low GFA. These results indicate that the ML approach may be premature for specific composition tuning of amorphous metallic materials. We emphasise that the development of ML tools in GFA prediction requires an improvement of the dataset, in terms of homogeneity, size and GFA descriptors, which must be supported by increased reporting of high-quality experimental GFA measurements, both positive and negative. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biocompatible Ti-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are candidate materials for use in the next generation of minimally invasive dental implants where improved mechanical properties, such as high strength are required. Despite promising in vitro/vivo evaluations, implementation of alloys for practical applications is partly hindered by the presence of copper as the main alloying element. Recent studies have presented AI-guided and machine learning strategies as appealing approaches to understand and describe the glass forming ability (GFA) of BMG-forming compositions. In this work, we employ and evaluate the capacity of a machine-learning model to explore low-copper compositional spaces in the biocompatible Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd system. Our results highlight the limits of such a computational approach and suggest improvements for future designing routes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One-point fixation was superior to the two and three-points fixation in minimally displaced zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture regarding the cost, invasiveness, scaring, number of wounds, and operation time. Accordingly, this study aimed to predict which one-point fixation is the most stable in managing minimally displaced ZMC fracture. MATERIAL & METHODS This study simulated the different one-point fixation approaches on three ZMC models after fracture reduction and application of all forces exerted on the fractured area. The findings were represented as stress impact on the ZMC fracture and plating system as well as the inter-fragments micro-motion. RESULTS The von misses stresses of plates for the zygomaticofrontal, infra-orbital rim, and zygomaticomaxillary buttress model were (66.508, 1.285, and1.16 MPa) respectively. While the screws' von misses for the infraorbital rim, zygomaticofrontal, and zygomaticomaxillary buttress models were (13.8, 4.05, and 1.60 MPa) respectively. Whereas, the maximum principles stress at zygomaticofrontal, zygomaticomaxillary buttress, and infraorbital rim models were (37.03, 37.01, and 34.46 MPa) respectively. In addition, the inter-fragment micro-motion for zygomaticomaxillary buttress, infraorbital rim, and zygomaticofrontal models were (0.26, 0.25, and 0.15 mm) respectively. CONCLUSION One-point fixation at zygomaticomaxillary buttress is the preferred point because it is exposed to low stresses, and the inter-fragment micro-motion is within the approved limit with the elements in the same direction of fixation which indicates the rigid fixation. In addition, it is less palpable and scarless. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinical trial.gov (NCT05819372) at 19/04/2023.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of different surface roughness and residual stress of hybrid surface implants on their behavior and mechanical failure. METHODS Three types of implants with different surface roughness were used as specimens: smooth, rough, and hybrid. A diffractometer was used to determine the residual stress of the implants according to their different surface treatment. These results were used as an independent variable in a finite element analysis that compared the three specimens to determine the von Mises stress transferred to the implants and supporting bone and the resulting microdeformations. Flexural strength and fatigue behavior tests were performed to compare the results of the three types of implants. RESULTS Higher residual stress values were found for rough surfaces (p < 0.05, Student's t-test) compared to smooth surfaces, and both types of stress were different for the two types of hybrid implant surfaces. Finite element analysis found different von Mises stress and microdeformation results, both at the level of the implant and the bone, for the three types of implants under study. These results were correlated with the different flexural strength behaviors (lower resistance for hybrids and higher for rough surfaces, p < 0.05) and fatigue behavior (the rough implant had the longest fatigue life, while the hybrid implant exhibited the worst fatigue behavior). SIGNIFICANCE The results show a trend toward a less favorable mechanical behavior of the hybrid implants related to the retention of different residual stresses caused by the surface treatment.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The interim rehabilitation of implants has become a necessity, particularly for those placed in the esthetic regions. However, the optical properties of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) crowns on interim abutments with different surface treatments are unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the color and translucency of CAD-CAM PMMA crowns when different surface treatments were used on titanium interim abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS A maxillary dentate stone cast with a narrow-diameter implant analog at the left lateral incisor site was used. Three titanium interim abutments (blue) were divided into 3 groups according to the surface treatment they received: control (steam cleaning), opaqued (120-μm Al2O3 airborne-particle abrasion and opaque application), and airborne-particle abraded (120-μm Al2O3). Thirty PMMA crowns (A2 shade) were milled (n=10). The color coordinates of the crown-interim abutment pairs and a shade tab (A2) were measured by using a colorimeter. The color differences (ΔE00) between the crowns and the shade tab and the relative translucency parameter (RTP) values of the crowns were calculated by using the CIEDE2000 formula. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the ΔE00 and RTP values with subsequent Tukey honestly significant difference tests (α=.05). RESULTS The abutment surface treatment significantly affected the ΔE00 of interim crowns from the shade tab (P<.001), but no significant effect was found on RTP (P=.26). The control group had the highest ΔE00 from the shade tab (P≤.011). No significant difference (P=.14) was found between the opaqued and the ΔE00 of the airborne-particle abraded groups from the shade tab. CONCLUSIONS The surface treatments of interim abutments affected the color of CAD-CAM PMMA crowns, which differed from that of the shade tab. The color of crowns on opaqued or airborne-particle abraded interim abutments was closer to the color of the shade tab. Abutment surface treatments did not affect the translucency of crown-interim abutment pairs.

Abstract
This study examined whether the degree of abutment surface modification that may occur with regular periodontal instrumentation has a clinical impact in terms of increased plaque accumulation and increased peri-implant tissue inflammation on zirconia implant abutments. Thirteen patients who had zirconia implant crowns were recruited in this randomized clinical trial. Each patient acted as their control and had either the buccal or lingual surface of their screw-retained implant restoration scaled with a metallic scaler and the other surface with a non-metallic scaler at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Cytokine testing of the peri-implant crevicular fluid was completed at 0, 3, and 12 months for IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, or IFNγ. Implant crowns were removed at 12 months and evaluated under an atomic force microscope for the average roughness (Ra). The implant crowns were polished and re-inserted. The results were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and post hoc tests were conducted with a significance level of α = 0.05. Significant differences in surface roughness (Ra) were observed between the metallic and non-metallic scalers. The median Ra values were 274.0 nm for metallic scalers and 147.1 nm for non-metallic scalers. However, there were no significant differences between the type of scaler used and the amount of clinical inflammation or cytokine production. Metallic scalers produced deeper, more aggressive surface alterations to the abutment/crown zirconia surface, but there was no statistically significant difference between the degree of surface alterations, amount of BOP, and the amplitude of cytokine inflammation produced.

Influence of Topography and Composition of Commercial Titanium Dental Implants on Cell Adhesion of Human Gingiva-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: An In Vitro Study. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16686. [PMID: 38069008 PMCID: PMC10706644 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The topography and composition of dental implant surfaces directly impact mesenchymal cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, crucial aspects of achieving osseointegration. However, cell adhesion to biomaterials is considered a key step that drives cell proliferation and differentiation. The aim of this study was to characterize characterize the topography and composition of commercial titanium dental implants manufactured with different surface treatments (two sandblasted/acid-etched (SLA) (INNO Implants, Busan, Republic of Korea; BioHorizonsTM, Oceanside, CA, USA) and two calcium phosphate (CaP) treated (Biounite®, Berazategui, Argentina; Zimmer Biomet, Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA)) and to investigate their influence on the process of cell adhesion in vitro. A smooth surface implant (Zimmer Biomet, Inc.) was used as a control. For that, high-resolution methodologies such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were employed. Protein adsorption and retromolar gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) adhesion to the implant surfaces were evaluated after 48 h. The adherent cells were examined by SEM and LSCM for morphologic and quantitative analyses. ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 0.05) were employed to determine statistical significance. SEM revealed that INNO, BioHorizonsTM, and Zimmer implants have an irregular surface, whereas Biounite® has a regular topography consisting of an ordered pattern. EDX confirmed a calcium and phosphate layer on the Biounite® and Zimmer surfaces, and AFM exhibited different roughness parameters. Protein adsorption and cell adhesion were detected on all the implant surfaces studied. However, the Biounite® implant with CaP and regular topography showed the highest protein adsorption capacity and density of adherent GMSCs. Although the Zimmer implant also had a CaP treatment, protein and cell adhesion levels were lower than those observed with Biounite®. Our findings indicated that the surface regularity of the implants is a more determinant factor in the cell adhesion process than the CaP treatment. A regular, nanostructured, hydrophilic, and moderately rough topography generates a higher protein adsorption capacity and thus promotes more efficient cell adhesion.

Abstract
Titanium has been the material of choice for dental implant fixtures due to its exceptional qualities, such as its excellent balance of rigidity and stiffness. Since zirconia is a soft-tissue-friendly material and caters to esthetic demands, it is an alternative to titanium for use in implants. Nevertheless, bone density plays a vital role in determining the material and design of implants. Compromised bone density leads to both early and late implant failures due to a lack of implant stability. Therefore, this narrative review aims to investigate the influence of implant material/design and surgical technique on bone density from both biomechanical and biological standpoints. Relevant articles were included for analysis. Dental implant materials can be fabricated from titanium, zirconia, and PEEK. In terms of mechanical and biological aspects, titanium is still the gold standard for dental implant materials. Additionally, the macro- and microgeometry of dental implants play a role in determining and planning the appropriate treatment because it can enhance the mechanical stress transmitted to the bone tissue. Under low-density conditions, a conical titanium implant design, longer length, large diameter, reverse buttress with self-tapping, small thread pitch, and deep thread depth are recommended. Implant material, implant design, surgical techniques, and bone density are pivotal factors affecting the success rates of dental implant placement in low-density bone. Further study is required to find the optimal implant material for a clinical setting's bone state.

Abstract
Soft tissue adhesion and sealing around dental and maxillofacial implants, related prosthetic components, and crowns are a clinical imperative to prevent adverse outcomes of periodontitis and periimplantitis. Zirconia is often used to fabricate implant components and crowns. Here, we hypothesized that UV treatment of zirconia would induce unique behaviors in fibroblasts that favor the establishment of a soft tissue seal. Human oral fibroblasts were cultured on zirconia specimens to confluency before placing a second zirconia specimen (either untreated or treated with one minute of 172 nm vacuum UV (VUV) light) next to the first specimen separated by a gap of 150 µm. After seven days of culture, fibroblasts only transmigrated onto VUV-treated zirconia, forming a 2.36 mm volume zone and 5.30 mm leading edge. Cells migrating on VUV-treated zirconia were enlarged, with robust formation of multidirectional cytoplastic projections, even on day seven. Fibroblasts were also cultured on horizontally placed and 45° and 60° tilted zirconia specimens, with the latter configurations compromising initial attachment and proliferation. However, VUV treatment of zirconia mitigated the negative impact of tilting, with higher tilt angles increasing the difference in cellular behavior between control and VUV-treated specimens. Fibroblast size, perimeter, and diameter on day seven were greater than on day one exclusively on VUV-treated zirconia. VUV treatment reduced surface elemental carbon and induced superhydrophilicity, confirming the removal of the hydrocarbon pellicle. Similar effects of VUV treatment were observed on glazed zirconia specimens with silica surfaces. One-minute VUV photofunctionalization of zirconia and silica therefore promotes human oral fibroblast attachment and proliferation, especially under challenging culture conditions, and induces specimen-to-specimen transmigration and sustainable photofunctionalization for at least seven days.

Abstract
Dental implants have revolutionised restorative dentistry, offering patients a natural-looking and durable solution to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. Titanium and its alloys have emerged as the gold standard among the various materials available due to their exceptional properties. One of the critical advantages of titanium and its alloys is their remarkable biocompatibility which ensures minimal adverse reactions within the human body. Furthermore, they exhibit outstanding corrosion resistance ensuring the longevity of the implant. Their mechanical properties, including hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, and fatigue strength, align perfectly with the demanding requirements of dental implants, guaranteeing the restoration's functionality and durability. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing techniques employed for titanium and its alloy dental implants while shedding light on their intrinsic properties. It also presents crucial proof-of-concept examples, offering tangible evidence of these materials' effectiveness in clinical applications. However, despite their numerous advantages, certain limitations still exist necessitating ongoing research and development efforts. This review will briefly touch upon these restrictions and explore the evolving trends likely to shape the future of titanium and its alloy dental implants.

Abstract
Objective: Loosening of dental implants due to resorption of the surrounding bone is one of the challenging clinical complications in prosthetic dentistry. Generally, stiffness mismatch between an implant and its surrounding bone is one of the major factors. In order to prevent such clinical consequences, it is essential to develop implants with customized stiffness. The present study investigates the computational and experimental biomechanical responses together with cytocompatibility studies of three-dimensional (3D)-printed Ti-6Al-4V-based porous dental implants with varied stiffness properties. Methods: Additive manufacturing (direct metal laser sintering, DMLS) was utilized to create Ti-6Al-4V implants having distinct porosities and pore sizes (650 and 1000 μm), along with a nonporous (solid) implant. To validate the compression testing of the constructed implants and to probe their biomechanical response, finite element models were employed. The cytocompatibility of the implants was assessed using MG-63 cells, in vitro. Results: Both X-ray microcomputed tomography (μ-CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies illustrated the ability of DMLS to produce implants with the designed porosities. Biomechanical analysis results revealed that the porous implants had less stiffness and were suitable for providing the appropriate peri-implant bone strain. Although all of the manufactured implants demonstrated cell adhesion and proliferation, the porous implants in particular supported better bone cell growth and extracellular matrix deposition. Conclusions: 3D-printed porous implants showed tunable stiffness properties with clinical translational potential.

Abstract
Dental implantology has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, and zirconia has emerged as a prominent biomaterial for dental implant applications. This review explores the multifaceted aspects of zirconia, focusing on its properties, processing methods, biocompatibility, mechanical performance, and clinical applications. Over the past few decades, the most popular choice of material for dental implantology has been titanium which has been found to have the highest success rate of implant treatment. However, recently, it has been observed that zirconia might replace titanium and eventually emerge as one of the gold-standard materials of dental implants. Analysis of biomechanical sciences and biomaterial sciences provides an opportunity for the refinement of design and material notions for surgical implants. However, the most important aspect and prime concern is how tissue at the implant site responds to biomechanical disturbances caused by foreign materials. The literature revealed that zirconia has certain characteristics that make it an excellent material for implants, including biocompatibility and osseointegration which depicts positive soft tissue response with low plaque affinity as well as aesthetics owing to light transmission and color. Additionally, this review discusses the current challenges and prospects of zirconia in dental implantology as well as aims to provide dental professionals and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of zirconia's potential as a biomaterial in dental implantology. The present overview of available literature intends to highlight and explore the biological characteristics of zirconia for applications in dental implantology. However, research is urgently required to fill in gaps over time for clinical assessments of all zirconia implants, consequently, the implementation of hybrid systems (a titanium screw with a zirconia collar) has recently been suggested.

Abstract
The growing field of dental implant research and development has emerged to rectify the problems associated with human dental health issues. Bio-ceramics are widely used in the medical field, particularly in dental implants, ortho implants, and medical and surgical tools. Various materials have been used in those applications to overcome the limitations and problems associated with their performance and its impact on dental implants. In this article we review and describe the fabrication methods employed for ceramic composites, the microstructure analyses used to identify significant effects on fracture behaviour, and various methods of enhancing mechanical properties. Further, the collective data show that the sintering technique improves the density, hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength of alumina- and zirconia-based composites compared with other methods. Future research aspects and suggestions are discussed systematically.

Abstract
Early detection and prediction of bio-tribocorrosion can avert unexpected damage that may lead to secondary revision surgery and associated risks of implantable devices. Therefore, this study sought to develop a state-of-the-art prediction technique leveraging machine learning(ML) models to classify and predict the possibility of mechanical degradation in dental implant materials. Key features considered in the study involving pure titanium and titanium-zirconium (zirconium = 5, 10, and 15 in wt%) alloys include corrosion potential, acoustic emission(AE) absolute energy, hardness, and weight-loss estimates. ML prototype models deployed confirms its suitability in tribocorrosion prediction with an accuracy above 90%. Proposed system can evolve as a continuous structural-health monitoring as well as a reliable predictive modeling technique for dental implant monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess survival rates and compare technical, biological, and esthetic outcomes of customized zirconia and titanium abutments at 13 years post loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Initially, 22 patients with 40 implants in posterior regions were included. The sites were randomly assigned to 20 customized zirconia abutments with cemented all ceramic crowns (ACC) and 20 customized titanium abutments with cemented metal ceramic crowns (MCC). At a mean follow-up of 13.4 years, patients were examined and implants/restorations assessed for survival and technical complications, as well as biological and esthetic outcomes (pocket probing depth [PPD], bleeding on probing [BOP], plaque control record [PCR], bone level [BL], papilla index [PAP], mucosal thickness, and recession (distance of the margo mucosae [MM]/margo gingivae MG)). Descriptive analyses were performed for all outcome measures. RESULTS Fifteen patients with 21 abutments (13 zirconia, 8 titanium) were examined at 13 years. The drop-out rate was 25% (patient level). The technical survival rate of the abutments was 100%. The survival rate on the restorative level (crowns) was 100%. The assessed biological outcomes (PPD, PCR, BOP, BL) and esthetic outcomes (MG, PAP) were similar. CONCLUSIONS Zirconia and titanium abutments supporting single implant-borne restorations rendered a high survival rate and minimal differences in terms of technical, biological, and esthetic outcomes at 13 years of follow-up.

Abstract
Titanium is considered to be a biocompatible material and is used to a great extent in the pharmaceutical and oral implantology fields. While initially, specialists considered that its use does not cause adverse effects on the human body, as time has gone by, it has become clear that its use can lead to the development of certain diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the way in which digital technologies have the capacity to facilitate information regarding the potential long-term harm caused by titanium device toxicity during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a regression model was developed to identify how a series of independent variables have the ability to influence the dependent variable (respondents' perceptions of how new web technologies have the ability to help future physicians to facilitate information absorption with regard to potential titanium toxicity). The results illustrated that new technologies have the potential to support both the learning process on this topic and the innovation activity by discovering new solutions that will gradually lead to the reduction of the side effects of titanium used in the pharmaceutical and oral implantology fields.

Replacement of missing teeth is possible using biocompatible devices such as endosseous implants. This study aims to analyze and recognize the best characteristics of different implant surfaces that ensure good peri-implant tissue healing and thus clinical success over time. The present review was performed on the recent literature concerning endosseous implants made of titanium, a material most frequently used because of its mechanical, physical, and chemical characteristics. Thanks to its low bioactivity, titanium exhibits slow osseointegration. Implant surfaces are treated so that cells do not reject the surface as a foreign material and accept it as fully biocompatible. Analysis of different types of implant surface coatings was performed in order to identify ideal surfaces that improve osseointegration, epithelial attachment to the implant site, and overall peri-implant health. This study shows that the implant surface, with different adhesion, proliferation, and spreading capabilities of osteoblastic and epithelial cells, influences the cells involved in anchorage. Implant surfaces must have antibacterial capabilities to prevent peri-implant disease. Research still needs to improve implant material to minimize clinical failure.

Abstract
Dental implants are medical devices that are surgically inserted into the patient's jawbone by an orthodontist to act as roots of missing teeth. After the implantation, the maxilla or mandible integrates with the surface of the dental implant. This process, called "osseointegration," is an important period to ensure the long-term use of dental implants and prevent implant failures. Metal implants are the most used implant materials. However, they have disadvantages such as corrosion, metal ion release from metal implant surfaces and associated toxicity. To avoid these adverse effects and improve osseointegration, alternative dental implant materials such as ceramics, polymers, composites, and novel surface modification technologies have been developed. The safety of these materials are also of concern for toxicologists. This review will give general information about dental implant materials, osseointegration and successful implantation process. Moreover, we will focus on the new surface coatings materials for of dental implants and their toxicity and safety concerns will be discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the stresses that will occur under occlusal forces on the cortical bone, spongious bone and the subperiosteal implant systems made of Titanium and%60 Carbon fiber reinforced Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material. Two different models of subperiosteal implant systems on maxilla made of Titanium and %60 Carbon fiber reinforced Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material. As a result of vertical and oblique forces, the stress values and distributions on the subperiosteal implant systems and bone were examined. After applying the three different force protocols, von Mises stress, Maximum principal stress and Minimum principal stress values and distribution on the subperiosteal implant body, fixation screws, cortical and spongious bone were analyzed by finite element analysis. In all scenarios, the von Mises values on the Titanium subperiosteal implant system were found to be approximately twice on the 60% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK subperiosteal implant system plates. Subperiosteal implants produced from titanium and carbon fiber reinforced PEEK material exhibited similar stress values on cortical and spongious bone. According to the results of this study, 60% Carbon fiber reinforced PEEK material can be considered as an alternative material to titanium since it exhibits similar biomechanical behavior with titanium subperiosteal implants on cortical and spongious bone. In order to be routinely used as dental subperiosteal implant material, it should be supported by long-term in vivo studies.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:961.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the surface properties of various zirconia-based dental implant materials and the response of human alveolar bone osteoblasts. For this purpose, discs of two zirconia-based materials with smooth and roughened surfaces were immersed in 20% H2O2 for two hours. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopy showed no topographic changes after H2O2-treatment. Contact angle measurements (1), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (2) and X-ray diffraction (3) indicated that H2O2-treated surfaces (1) increased in hydrophilicity (p < 0.05) and (2) on three surfaces the carbon content decreased (33-60%), while (3) the monoclinic phase increased on all surfaces. Immunofluorescence analysis of the cell area and DNA-quantification and alkaline phosphatase activity revealed no effect of H2O2-treatment on cell behavior. Proliferation activity was significantly higher on three of the four untreated surfaces, especially on the smooth surfaces (p < 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that exposure of zirconia surfaces to 20% H2O2 for 2 h increases the wettability of the surfaces, but also seems to increase the monoclinic phase, especially on roughened surfaces, which can be considered detrimental to material stability. Moreover, the H2O2-treatment has no influence on osteoblast behavior.

Abstract
Purpose To quantitatively assess and compare the clinical outcomes, including survival rate, success rate, and peri-implant indices of titanium and zirconium implants in randomized controlled trials. Methods The electronic databases searched included the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline via Ovid, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported the effects of zirconium implants on primary outcomes, such as survival rate, success rate, marginal bone loss (MBL), and probing pocket depth (PPD), compared to titanium implants were included in this review. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the records, assessed their quality, and extracted the data from the included studies. Results A total of four studies from six publications reviewed were included. Two of the comparative studies were assessed at minimal risk of bias. Zirconium implants may have a lower survival rate (risk ratio (RR) = 0.91, CI [0.82-1.02], P = 0.100, I 2 = 0%) and a significantly lower success rate than titanium implants (RR = 0.87, CI [0.78-0.98], P = 0.030, I 2 = 0%). In addition, there was no difference between the titanium and zirconium implants in terms of MBL, PPD, bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), and pink esthetic score (PES) (for MBL, MD = 0.25, CI [0.02-0.49], P = 0.033, I 2 = 0%; for PPD, MD = -0.07, CI [-0.19-0.05], P = 0.250, I 2 = 31%). Conclusion Zirconium implants may have higher failure rates due to their mechanical weakness. Zirconium implants should be strictly assessed before they enter the market. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Antibacterial coatings are regarded as a necessary tool to prevent implant-related infections. Substrate-independent and widely applicable coating techniques are gaining significant interest to synthesize different types of antibacterial films, which can be relevant from a fundamental and application-oriented perspective. Plasma polymer- and polydopamine-based antibacterial coatings represent the most widely studied and versatile approaches among these coating techniques. Both single- and dual-functional antibacterial coatings can be fabricated with these approaches and a variety of dual-functional antibacterial coating strategies can still be explored in future work. These coatings can potentially be used for a wide range of different implants (material, shape, and size). However, for most implants, significantly more fundamental knowledge needs to be gained before these coatings can find real-life use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES From the treatment of damaged teeth to replacing missing teeth, dental biomaterials cover the scientific interest of many fields. Dental biomaterials are one of the implants whose effective life depends vastly on their material and manufacturing techniques. The purpose of this review is to summarize the important aspects for metallic dental implants from biomedical, mechanical and materials science perspectives. The review article will focus on five major aspects as mentioned below. Tooth anatomy: Maximizing the implant performance depends on proper understanding of human tooth anatomy and the failure behavior of the implants. Major parts from tooth anatomy including saliva characteristics are explored in this section. Wear mechanisms: The prominent wear mechanisms having a high impact on dental wear are abrasive, adhesive, fatigue and corrosion wear. To imitate the physiological working condition of dental implants, reports on the broad range of mastication force and various composition of artificial saliva have been included in this section, which can affect the tribo-corrosion behavior of dental implants. Dental implants classifications: The review paper includes a dedicated discussion on major dental implants types and their details for better understanding their applicability and characteristics. Implant materials: As of today, the most established dental implant materials are SS316L, cobalt chrome alloy and titanium. Detailed discussion on their material properties, microstructures, phase transformations and chemical compositions have been discussed here. Manufacturing techniques: In terms of different production methods, the lost wax casting method as traditional manufacturing is considered. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) as additive manufacturing techniques (AM) have been discussed. For AM, the relationships between process-property-performance details have been explored briefly. The effectiveness of different manufacturing techniques was compared based on porosity distribution, mechanical and biomechanical properties. SUMMARY Despite having substantial research available on dental implants, there is a lack of systematic reviews to present a holistic viewpoint combining state-of-the-art from biomedical, mechanical, materials science and manufacturing perspectives. This review article attempts to combine a wide variety of analyzing approaches from those interdisciplinary fields to deliver deeper insights to researchers both in academia and industry to develop next-generation dental implants.

Abstract
This study proposed a 3D-printed PEEK with a specific design to restore the damaged orbit shape. Such printed personalized implants are greatly affected by the process parameters, wherefore the effects of the nozzle temperatures, printing speed and layer thickness on the tensile properties were investigated based on the Taguchi approach. The optimal mechanical properties, i.e., the tensile strength and Young's modulus, were found to be 54.97 MPa and 2.67 GPa, respectively. These properties were obtained by adjusting the nozzle temperature to its high level (450 °C), while the layer thickness (0.1 mm) and printing speed (20 mm/s) were set to their low levels. Secondly, the mechanical behavior of a personalized orbital implant with these optimized properties was evaluated via finite elements analysis with various infill patterns and densities, at three thicknesses: 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mm. It was found that all thicknesses were acceptable for the 100% filling. For the honeycomb pattern, the thicknesses 0.5 and 0.7 mm were satisfactory with a fill rate of 70% and 55% whereas only the thickness of 0.7 mm was suitable for the 40% filling. The honeycomb pattern with 40% filling and a maximum stress (7.186 MPa) and strain (0.00627 mm) should be beneficial for light-weight orbital implants.

Calcium Phosphates-Chitosan Composite Layers Obtained by Combining Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering and Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation Techniques. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14235241.

Abstract
In this work, we report the synthesis of calcium phosphate-chitosan composite layers. Calcium phosphate layers were deposited on titanium substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique by varying the substrate temperature from room temperature (25 °C) up to 100 and 300 °C. Further, chitosan was deposited by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation technique on the calcium phosphate layers. The temperature at the substrate during the deposition process of calcium phosphate layers plays an important role in the embedding of chitosan, as scanning electron microscopy analysis showed. The degree of chitosan incorporation into the calcium phosphate layers significantly influence the physico-chemical properties and the adherence strength of the resulted layers to the substrates. For example, the decreases of Ca/P ratio at the addition of chitosan suggests that a calcium deficient hydroxyapatite structure is formed when the CaP layers are generated on Ti substrates kept at room temperature during the deposition process. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of the samples suggest that the PO43-/CO32- substitution is possible. The X-ray diffraction spectra indicated that the crystalline structure of the calcium phosphate layers obtained at the 300 °C substrate temperature is disturbed by the addition of chitosan. The adherence strength of the composite layers to the titanium substrates is diminished after the chitosan deposition. However, no complete exfoliation of the layers was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of anodized titanium abutments and zirconia substructure thickness on the color of zirconia substructure. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, an electrochemical anodization setup was prepared for titanium coloring. Commercial titanium, anodization-colored yellow and pink titanium, and zirconia were used as different abutment specimens. Thirty zirconia discs in 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1 mm thickness were prepared from zirconia blocks as zirconia substructure specimens (n = 10). Zirconia substructure specimens of different thicknesses were placed on abutment specimens of different colors and L*, a*, b* values were measured with a spectrophotometer device. Color difference (ΔE) was calculated according to the CIELab formula by comparing the L*, a*, and b* values obtained on the zirconia abutment with the L*, a*, and b* values obtained on the other abutments. Statistical analyzes were performed with two-way analysis of variance and Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (HSD)test (p < 0.05). RESULTS The increase in the thickness of the substructure resulted in a statistically significant difference on ΔE, L*, a*, and b* values (p < 0.001). The effect of abutment color had no significant effect on ΔE values. The highest ΔE value was 18.10 at zirconia substructure with 0.7 mm thickness when paired with pink-anodized titanium abutment specimens. CONCLUSION The thickness of zirconia substructure and the color of titanium abutments affect zirconia substructure color.

Abstract
The development of implant metal-free surfaces has gained attention since non-benefic results have been reported related to the metallic ions released from metal implants to the human body. Ceramic coatings have been proposed as a possible solution however, the detachment of these coatings, during implantation or even in function, can compromise its function. In order to overcome this problem, this work proposes a novel hybrid Ti6Al4V-ZrO2 surface, starting with laser texturing of the Ti6Al4V substrate by Laser Nd:YV04, followed by the allocation of the zirconia (ZrO2) powder and its subsequent sintering by hot pressing process. Results revealed that zirconia strongly adheres to titanium textured surfaces since no detachment was found under tribological and adhesion scratch tests. Moreover, the tribological results showed that the incorporation of zirconia into textured titanium surface reduces significantly the wear rate of titanium (≈93%), which is a good indicator of low metallic particles/ions released to the body. These results suggest that this novel surface with good aesthetic properties and improved wear resistance (given by zirconia) and mechanical resistance (from titanium) can be a promising solution for dental implants, especially for implant/abutment or abutment/ceramic contact zones, and thus have a huge impact on the long-term performance of implants.

[PMID: 36547524 PMCID: PMC9785869 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13040263] [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: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Titanium has excellent biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance and is extensively used in dental implants and denture bases. However, pure titanium lacks the strength for use in dental prostheses that require relatively high strength. We developed 15 different types of Ti-Nb-Cu alloys and investigated their alloy phases and mechanical properties, including tensile and yield strength, elongation after fracture, and Vickers hardness. The alloy phases of Ti-8%Nb-2%Cu and Ti-13%Nb-2%Cu were α + β, while those of Ti-5%Nb-5%Cu and Ti-10%Nb-5%Cu were α + Ti2Cu. The tensile strength and hardness of these alloys were significantly higher than those of titanium; however, their elongation was less. In particular, the yield strength of these alloys was more than twice that of titanium. These differences in mechanical properties are attributable to solid-solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening. Other compositions with an alloy phase of α + β + Ti2Cu or β + Ti2Cu had high hardness but not high strength. These results suggest that the Ti-8%Nb-2%Cu, Ti-5%Nb-5%Cu, Ti-13%Nb-2%Cu, and Ti-10%Nb-5%Cu alloys can be applied to dental prostheses, which are subject to very high forces from accessories such as long-span bridges, clasps, implant-retained superstructures, and narrow-diameter implants.

Abstract
Recently, polyether ether ketone has raised increasing interest in research and industry as an alternative material for bone implants. This polymer also has some shortcomings, as it is bioinert and its surface is relatively hydrophobic, causing poor cell adhesion and therefore slow integration with bone tissue. In order to improve biocompatibility, the surface of polyether ether ketone-based implants should be modified. Therefore, polished disc-shaped polyether ether ketone samples were surface-modified by direct current magnetron sputtering with ultrathin titanium and zirconium coatings (thickness < 100 nm). The investigation results show a uniform distribution of both types of coatings on the sample surfaces, where the coatings mostly consist of titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the crystalline structure of the polyether ether ketone substrates was not changed by the coating deposition. Both coatings are amorphous, as shown by X-ray diffraction investigations. The roughness of both coating types increases with increasing coating thickness, which is beneficial for cell colonization. The coatings presented and investigated in this study improve wettability, increasing surface energies, in particular the polar component of the surface energies, which, in turn, are important for cell adhesion.

Peptides for Coating TiO 2 Implants: An In Silico Approach. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214048. [PMID: 36430525 PMCID: PMC9693858 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214048] [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: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Titanium is usually used in the manufacturing of metal implants due to its biocompatibility and high resistance to corrosion. A structural and functional connection between the living bone and the surface of the implant, a process called osseointegration, is mandatory for avoiding prolonged healing, infections, and tissue loss. Therefore, osseointegration is crucial for the success of the implantation procedure. Osseointegration is a process mediated by bone-matrix progenitor cells' proteins, named integrins. In this study, we used an in silico approach to assemble and test peptides that can be strategically used in sensitizing TiO2 implants in order to improve osseointegration. To do so, we downloaded PDB structures of integrins α5β1, αvβ3, and αIIbβ3; their biological ligands; and low-cost proteins from the Protein Data Bank, and then we performed a primary (integrin-protein) docking analysis. Furthermore, we modeled complex peptides with the potential to bind to the TiO2 surface on the implant, as well as integrins in the bone-matrix progenitor cells. Then we performed a secondary (integrin-peptide) docking analysis. The ten most promising integrin-peptide docking results were further verified by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We recognized 82 peptides with great potential to bind the integrins, and therefore to be used in coating TiO2 implants. Among them, peptides 1 (GHTHYHAVRTQTTGR), 3 (RKLPDATGR), and 8 (GHTHYHAVRTQTLKA) showed the highest binding stability during the MD simulations. This bioinformatics approach saves time and more effectively directs in vitro studies.

Antimicrobial-free graphene nanocoating decreases fungal yeast-to-hyphal switching and maturation of cross-kingdom biofilms containing clinical and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. BIOMATERIALS AND BIOSYSTEMS 2022; 8:100069. [PMID: 36824379 PMCID: PMC9934433 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbiosy.2022.100069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Candida albicans and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) synergize in cross-kingdom biofilms to increase the risk of mortality and morbidity due to high resistance to immune and antimicrobial defenses. Biomedical devices and implants made with titanium are vulnerable to infections that may demand their surgical removal from the infected sites. Graphene nanocoating (GN) has promising anti-adhesive properties against C. albicans. Thus, we hypothesized that GN could prevent fungal yeast-to-hyphal switching and the development of cross-kingdom biofilms. Herein, titanium (Control) was coated with high-quality GN (coverage > 99%). Thereafter, mixed-species biofilms (C. albicans combined with S. aureus or MRSA) were allowed to develop on GN and Control. There were significant reductions in the number of viable cells, metabolic activity, and biofilm biomass on GN compared with the Control (CFU counting, XTT reduction, and crystal violet assays). Also, biofilms on GN were sparse and fragmented, whereas the Control presented several bacterial cells co-aggregating with intertwined hyphal elements (confocal and scanning electronic microscopy). Finally, GN did not induce hemolysis, an essential characteristic for blood-contacting biomaterials and devices. Thus, GN significantly inhibited the formation and maturation of deadly cross-kingdom biofilms, which can be advantageous to avoid infection and surgical removal of infected devices.

The use of 3D ceramic block graft compared with autogenous block graft for rehabilitation of the atrophic maxilla: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Trials 2022; 23:903. [DOI: 10.1186/s13063-022-06843-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dental implant placement may require a bone graft for vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Due to its osteoconduction, osteoinductive, and osteogenesis, autogenous bone graft characteristics are considered the standard gold treatment. However, autografts can promote postoperative morbidity and implicate difficulties concerning the graft adaptation to the recipient's bone since it can eventually avoid gaps. To overcome these issues, this trial will compare the performance of Plenum® Oss 3Dβ fit, an alloplastic graft, and a 3D-printed patient-specific graft based on β-tricalcium phosphate to the autograft procedure.
Methods
This is a split-mouth randomized clinical study designed to evaluate the performance of personalized (patient-specific) bioceramic bone grafts (Plenum® Oss 3Dβ fit) for bone augmentation of the atrophic anterior maxilla in comparison to the autogenous bone graft. We hypothesize that the gain and maintenance of the grafted area volume and the quality of the newly formed bone tissue after eight months postoperative with the synthetic patient-specific graft will be superior to the autogenous bone graft. To assess the quantity and the quality of bone neoformation, volumetric and histological analyses will be performed.
Discussion
The fabrication of medical devices by additive manufacturing presents advantages over conventional manufacturing processes, mostly related to the precision of geometry and anatomy. Additionally, the osteoconductive proprieties of β-tricalcium phosphate enable this synthetic bone substitute as an alternative solution over autogenous graft for bone defect reconstruction. Thus, patient-specific bone grafts can potentially improve patient satisfaction, reducing the need for autogenous bone grafts, consequently avoiding implications related to this type of treatment, such as patient morbidity.

A component method to delineate surgical spine implants for proton Monte Carlo dose calculation. J Appl Clin Med Phys 2022; 24:e13800.

Abstract
PURPOSE Metallic implants have been correlated to local control failure for spinal sarcoma and chordoma patients due to the uncertainty of implant delineation from computed tomography (CT). Such uncertainty can compromise the proton Monte Carlo dose calculation (MCDC) accuracy. A component method is proposed to determine the dimension and volume of the implants from CT images. METHODS The proposed component method leverages the knowledge of surgical implants from medical supply vendors to predefine accurate contours for each implant component, including tulips, screw bodies, lockers, and rods. A retrospective patient study was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. The reference implant materials and samples were collected from patient medical records and vendors, Medtronic and NuVasive. Additional CT images with extensive features, such as extended Hounsfield units and various reconstruction diameters, were used to quantify the uncertainty of implant contours. RESULTS For in vivo patient implant estimation, the reference and the component method differences were 0.35, 0.17, and 0.04 cm3 for tulips, screw bodies, and rods, respectively. The discrepancies by a conventional threshold method were 5.46, 0.76, and 0.05 cm3 , respectively. The mischaracterization of implant materials and dimensions can underdose the clinical target volume coverage by 20 cm3 for a patient with eight lumbar implants. The tulip dominates the dosimetry uncertainty as it can be made from titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys by different vendors. CONCLUSIONS A component method was developed and demonstrated using phantom and patient studies with implants. The proposed method provides more accurate implant characterization for proton MCDC and can potentially enhance the treatment quality for proton therapy. The current proof-of-concept study is limited to the implant characterization for lumbar spine. Future investigations could be extended to cervical spine and dental implants for head-and-neck patients where tight margins are required to spare organs at risk.

Effectiveness of biomolecule-based bioactive surfaces, on os-seointegration of titanium dental implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vivo studies. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:986112.

Abstract
Titanium and alloy osseointegrated implants are used to replace missing teeth; however, some fail and are removed. Modifications of the implant surface with biologically active substances have been proposed. MEDLINE [via Pubmed], Embase and Web of Science were searched with the terms “titanium dental implants”, “surface properties”, “bioactive surface modifications”, “biomolecules”, “BMP”, “antibacterial agent”, “peptide”, “collagen”, “grown factor”, “osseointegration”, “bone apposition”, “osteogenic”, “osteogenesis”, “new bone formation”, “bone to implant contact”, “bone regeneration” and “in vivo studies”, until May 2022. A total of 10,697 references were iden-tified and 26 were included to analyze 1,109 implants, with follow-ups from 2 to 84 weeks. The ARRIVE guidelines and the SYRCLE tool were used to evaluate the methodology and scientific evidence. A meta-analysis was performed (RevMan 2020 software, Cochane Collaboration) with random effects that evaluated BIC at 4 weeks, with subgroups for the different coatings. The heterogeneity of the pooled studies was very high (95% CI, I2 = 99%). The subgroup of BMPs was the most favorable to coating. Surface modification of Ti implants by organic bioactive molecules seems to favor osseointegration in the early stages of healing, but long-term studies are necessary to corroborate the results of the experimental studies.

Abstract
Human body comprises of different internal and external biological components. Human organs tend to fail due to continuous or sudden stress which leads to deterioration, failure, and dislocation. The choice of selection and fabrication of materials for tissue engineering play a key role in terms of suitability, sensitivity, and functioning with other organs as a replacement for failed organs. The progressive improvement of the additive manufacturing (AM) approach in healthcare made it possible to print multi-material and customized complex/intricate geometries in a layer-by-layer fashion. The customized or patient-specific implant fabrication can be easily produced with a high success rate due to the development of AM technologies with tailorable properties. The structural behavior of 3D printed biomaterials is a crucial factor in tissue engineering as they affect the functionality of the implants. Various techniques have been developed in appraising the important features and the effects of the subsequent design of the biomaterial implants. The behavior of the AM built biomaterial implants can be understood visually by an imaging system with a high spatial and spectral resolution. This review intends to present an overview of various biomaterials used in implants, followed by a detailed description of optical 3D printing procedures and evaluation of the performance of 3D printed biomaterials using optical characterization.

Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a global issue affecting the elderly population. To explore a new calcium silicate bone cement, polylactic acid (PLGA)–polyethylene glycol (PEG)–PLGA hydrogel was compounded with tricalcium silicate (C3S)/dicalcium silicate (C2S)/plaster of Paris (POP) to observe the hydration products and test physical and chemical properties. The cell compatibility and osteogenic capability were tested in vitro. The rabbit femoral condylar bone defect model was used to test its safety and effectiveness in vivo. The addition of hydrogel did not result in the formation of a new hydration product and significantly improved the injectability, anti-washout properties, and in vitro degradability of the bone cement. The cholecystokinin octapeptide-8 method showed significant proliferation of osteoblasts in bone cement. The Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase activity test showed that the bone cement had a superior osteogenic property in vitro. The computed tomography scan and gross anatomy at 12 weeks after surgery in the rabbit revealed that PLGA-PEG-PLGA/C3S/C2S/POP was mostly degraded, with the formation of new bone trabeculae and calli at the external orifice of the defect. Thus, PLGA-PEG-PLGA/C3S/C2S/POP composite bone cement has a positive effect on bone repair and provides a new strategy for the clinical application of bone tissue engineering materials.
