Abstract
The primary goal of bone tissue engineering is to restore and rejuvenate bone defects by using a suitable three-dimensional scaffold, appropriate cells, and growth hormones. Various scaffolding methods are used to fabricate three-dimensional scaffolds, which provide the necessary environment for cell activity and bone formation. Multiple materials may be used to create scaffolds with hierarchical structures that are optimal for cell growth and specialization. This study examines a notion for creating an optimal framework for bone regeneration using a combination of the robocasting method and the electrospinning approach. Research indicates that the integration of these two procedures enhances the benefits of each method and provides a rationale for addressing their shortcomings via this combination. The hybrid approach is anticipated to provide a manufactured scaffold that can effectively replace bone defects while possessing the necessary qualities for bone regeneration.

Chang SY, Kang DH, Cho SK. Innovative Developments in Lumbar Interbody Cage Materials and Design: A Comprehensive Narrative Review. Asian Spine J 2024; 18:444-457. [PMID: 38146053 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2023.0407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023] Open
Abstract
This review comprehensively examines the evolution and current state of interbody cage technology for lumbar interbody fusion (LIF). This review highlights the biomechanical and clinical implications of the transition from traditional static cage designs to advanced expandable variants for spinal surgery. The review begins by exploring the early developments in cage materials, highlighting the roles of titanium and polyetheretherketone in the advancement of LIF techniques. This review also discusses the strengths and limitations of these materials, leading to innovations in surface modifications and the introduction of novel materials, such as tantalum, as alternative materials. Advancements in three-dimensional printing and surface modification technologies form a significant part of this review, emphasizing the role of these technologies in enhancing the biomechanical compatibility and osseointegration of interbody cages. In addition, this review explores the increase in biodegradable and composite materials such as polylactic acid and polycaprolactone, addressing their potential to mitigate long-term implant-related complications. A critical evaluation of static and expandable cages is presented, including their respective clinical and radiological outcomes. While static cages have been a mainstay of LIF, expandable cages are noted for their adaptability to the patient's anatomy, reducing complications such as cage subsidence. However, this review highlights the ongoing debate and the lack of conclusive evidence regarding the superiority of either cage type in terms of clinical outcomes. Finally, this review proposes future directions for cage technology, focusing on the integration of bioactive substances and multifunctional coatings and the development of patient-specific implants. These advancements aim to further enhance the efficacy, safety, and personalized approach of spinal fusion surgeries. Moreover, this review offers a nuanced understanding of the evolving landscape of cage technology in LIF and provides insights into current practices and future possibilities in spinal surgery.

Abstract
The aging population and increasing incidence of trauma among younger age groups have heightened the increasing demand for reliable implant materials. Effective implant materials must demonstrate rapid osseointegration and strong antibacterial properties to ensure optimal patient outcomes and decrease the chance of implant rejection. This study aims to enhance the bone-implant interface by utilizing 45S5 bioglass modified with various concentrations of Fe3O4 as a coating material. The effect of the insertion of Fe3O4 into the bioglass structure was studied using Raman spectroscopy which shows that with the increase in Fe3O4 concentration, new vibration bands associated with Fe-related structural units appeared within the sample. The bioactivity of the prepared glasses was evaluated using immersion tests in simulated body fluid, revealing the formation of a calcium phosphate-rich layer within 24 h on the samples, indicating their potential for enhanced tissue integration. However, the sample modified with 8 mol% of Fe3O4 showed low reactivity, developing a calcium phosphate-rich layer within 96 h. All the bioglasses showed antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The modified bioglass did not present significant antibacterial properties compared to the bioglass base.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of surface modifications of the titanium substrate on the growth of electrochemically deposited copper. These materials are intended to serve as cathodes in the electroreduction of nitrates in aqueous solutions. Surface modifications included the use of hydrogen fluoride for titanium etching and anodization to promote the growth of a structured titania nanotube array. The effect of an intermediate calcination step for the nanotubes before deposition was assessed along with a comparison to an untreated substrate electrode. The materials were comprehensively characterized by SEM, XRD, contact angle, potentiodynamic tests, EIS, and cyclic voltammetry. Their electrocatalytic ability was tested in the reduction of aqueous solutions containing nitrates. The results reveal that surface finishing impacted the shape and size of the Cu microparticles, as well as the nucleation mechanism enabling a crystal-facet-controllable synthesis. All the materials exhibited microsized copper particles with a spherical shape with some clusters. On the etched titanium surface, a high number of heterogeneous submicroscopic particles were also present. The thermally treated anodized substrate promoted the development of a combination of sparse microparticles corresponding to defect sites in amorphous titanium and the presence of a diffuse coating of octahedral nanosized particles whose growth was promoted by the tetragonal structure of anatase crystals. Electrochemical tests display reduced charge transfer resistance upon copper deposition on the modified substrates, which is indicative of the enhanced conductivity of the coated materials. Additionally, cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis experiments reveal the electrodes' potential for nitrate reduction, showing a better response for the etched titanium substrate (30% nitrate removal, after 2 h at 25 mA cm-2).

Abstract
Autogenous bone transplantation is a prevalent clinical method for addressing bone defects. However, the limited availability of donor bone and the morbidity associated with bone harvesting have propelled the search for suitable bone substitutes. Bio-inspired scaffolds, particularly those fabricated using electron beam melting (EBM) deposition technology, have emerged as a significant advancement in this field. These 3D-printed titanium alloy scaffolds are celebrated for their outstanding biocompatibility and favorable elastic modulus. Thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel, which transitions from liquid to solid at body temperature, serves as a popular carrier in bone tissue engineering. Icariin (ICA), known for its efficacy in promoting osteoblast differentiation from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), plays a crucial role in this context. We developed a system combining a 3D-printed titanium alloy with a thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel, capable of local bone regeneration and integration through ICA delivery. Our in vitro findings reveal that this system can gradually release ICA, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility while fostering BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Immunohistochemistry and Micro-CT analyses further confirm the effectiveness of the system in accelerating in vivo bone regeneration and enhancing osseointegration. This composite system lays a significant theoretical foundation for advancing local bone regeneration and integration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness of anodized and sandblasted large-grit acid-etched surface modification implants in clinical applications. METHODS This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO (CRD42023423656). A systematic search was performed using seven databases. The meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.4 program and Stata 17.0 software. An analysis of the risk of bias in the included studies was conducted using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS A comprehensive analysis of 16 studies, which collectively encompassed a total of 2768 implants, was finished. Following a five years follow-up, the meta-analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of implants was lower in the anodized group compared to the sandblasted large-grit acid-etched group (RR, 3.47; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.23 to 9.81; P = 0.02). Furthermore, the anodized group and the sandblasted large-grit acid-etched group had similar marginal bone loss over the one to three years follow-up period. However, it was observed that the marginal bone loss increased at the five years follow-up period in the anodized group in comparison to the sandblasted large-grit acid-etched group (SMD, 2.98; 95 % CI, 0.91 to 5.06; P = 0.005). In terms of biological complications, plaque index, bleeding on probing, and probing pocket depth, we found no statistically significant differences between the anodized and sandblasted large-grit acid-etched group. CONCLUSIONS The sandblasted large-grit acid-etched group exhibited higher implants cumulative survival rate and less marginal bone loss compared to the anodized group. Moreover, both groups demonstrated similar incidences of biological complications, plaque index, bleeding on probing, and probing pocket depth, suggesting overall equivalence in these aspects.

Abstract
Angiogenesis at the fracture site plays crucial roles in the endogenous osteogenesis process and is a prerequisite for the efficient repair of implant fixed bone defects. To improve the peri-implant vascularization of titanium implant for accelerating defect healing, we developed a Co-doped Mg-Al layered hydroxide coating on the surface of titanium using hydrothermal reaction and then modified the surface with gallic acid (Ti-LDH/GA). Gallic acid coating enabled the sustained release of Co2+ and Mg2+ to the defect site over a month. Ti-LDH/GA treatment profoundly stimulated the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells by upregulating the vascularization regulators such as vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), leading to enhanced osteogenic capability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These pro-bone healing benefits were attributed to the synergistic effects of Co ions and Mg ions in promoting angiogenesis and new bone formation. These insights collectively suggested the potent pro-osteogenic effect of Ti-LDH/GA through leveraging peri-implant vascularization, offering a new approach for developing biofunctional titanium implants.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:499.

Abstract
45S5 Bioglass has been widely used in regenerative medicine due to its ability to dissolve when inserted into the body. Its typically amorphous structure allows for an ideal dissolution rate for the formation of the hydroxyapatite layer, which is important for the development of new bone. This bioactive capacity can also be controlled by adding other oxides (e.g., SrO, ZnO, and MgO) to the 45S5 Bioglass network or by storing electrical charge. Ions such as zinc, magnesium, and strontium allow for specific biological responses to be added, such as antibacterial action and the ability to increase the rate of osteoblast proliferation. The charge storage capacity allows for a higher rate of bioactivity to be achieved, allowing for faster attachment to the host bone, decreasing the patient's recovery time. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the variation in the structure of the bioglass with regard to the amount of non-bridging oxygens (NBOs), which is important for the bioactivity rate not to be compromised, and also its influence on the electrical behavior relevant to its potential as electrical charge storage. Thus, several bioactive glass compositions were synthesized based on the 45S5 Bioglass formulation with the addition of various concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2, mol%) of zinc, strontium, or magnesium oxides. The influence of the insertion of these oxides on the network was evaluated by studying the amount of NBOs using Raman spectroscopy and their implication on the electrical behavior. Electrical characterization was performed in ac (alternating current) and dc (direct current) regimes.

Abstract
The paper presents a new method of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) modification using bioactive titanate layers containing various divalent ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Zn2+) and surface-coordinated ciprofloxacin. Due to the coordination of ciprofloxacin (antibiotic) on the surface of the alloy, it has great application potential. In the paper, the influence of a given cation on the effectiveness of drug sorption was determined. The most effective cation was zinc and the least effective was calcium. The distribution of the antibiotic on the alloy surface was determined using FT-IR imaging. The antibiotic was evenly distributed on alloys modified with magnesium, strontium and zinc titanates. In the case of calcium titanate, the analysis could not be performed because the amount of the drug was too small. The release profiles of ciprofloxacin indicate that it can be released for as long as 3 h for strontium and zinc titanates. The biocompatibility of the obtained materials is indicated by the results of the BSA adsorption, and HA growth test. The obtained results confirm that the proposed modification can be used in the modification of titanium implants. The big advantage of this layer is that ciprofloxacin is coordinated on the surface of the material and thus will not be removed during the surgical procedure. The creation of this type of layer may in the future allow for fewer perioperative infections, and thus fewer complications.

Abstract
The increasing number of peri-implant diseases and the unsatisfactory results of conventional treatment are causing great concern to patients and medical staff. The effective removal of plaque which is one of the key causes of peri-implant disease from the surface of implants has become one of the main problems to be solved urgently in the field of peri-implant disease prevention and treatment. In recent years, with the advancement of materials science and pharmacology, a lot of research has been conducted to enhance the implant antimicrobial properties, including the addition of antimicrobial coatings on the implant surface, the adjustment of implant surface topography, and the development of new implant materials, and significant progress has been made in various aspects. Antimicrobial materials have shown promising applications in the prevention of peri-implant diseases, but meanwhile, there are some shortcomings, which leads to the lack of clinical widespread use of antimicrobial materials. This paper summarizes the research on antimicrobial materials applied to implants in recent years and presents an outlook on the future development.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is serving as the most promising approach to fabricate personalized titanium (Ti) implants for the precise treatment of complex bone defects. However, the bio-inert nature of Ti material limits its capability for rapid osseointegration and thus influences the implant lifetime in vivo. Despite the macroscale porosity for promoting osseointegration, 3D-printed Ti implant surface morphologies at the nanoscale have gained considerable attention for their potential to improve specific outcomes. To evaluate the influence of nanoscale surface morphologies on osseointegration outcomes of 3D-printed Ti implants and discuss the available strategies, we systematically searched evidence according to the PRISMA on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane (until June 2022). The inclusion criteria were in vivo (animal) studies reporting the osseointegration outcomes of nanoscale morphologies on the surface of 3D-printed Ti implants. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE's) tool. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines. (PROSPERO: CRD42022334222). Out of 119 retrieved articles, 9 studies met the inclusion criteria. The evidence suggests that irregular nano-texture, nanodots and nanotubes with a diameter of 40-105nm on the surface of porous/solid 3D-printed Ti implants result in better osseointegration and vertical bone ingrowth compared to the untreated/polished ones by significantly promoting cell adhesion, matrix mineralization, and osteogenic differentiation through increasing integrin expression. The RoB was low in 41.1% of items, unclear in 53.3%, and high in 5.6%. The quality of the studies achieved a mean score of 17.67. Our study demonstrates that nanostructures with specific controlled properties on the surface of 3D-printed Ti implants improve their osseointegration. However, given the small number of studies, the variability in experimental designs, and lack of reporting across studies, the results should be interpreted with caution.

J Dent Res Dent Clin Dent Prospects 2023; 17:112-118. [PMID: 37649820 PMCID: PMC10462463 DOI: 10.34172/joddd.2023.39248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study evaluated the success and survival rate of sandblasted and acid-etched dental implants according to the patient's bone quality. Methods A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in five clinical centers between 2016 and March 2019. A total of 407 implants (KONTACTTM S, Biotech Dental, France) placed in 229 patients (61.5±12.9 years old) were included. Bone quality, classified as types D1 to D4 (Misch classification), maximal insertion torque, and bone loss were measured. The implant survival rate was evaluated after one year for the overall cohort and for each bone quality. The overall survival rate after four years was also estimated with a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results After one year (12.8±9.6 months), eight implants were lost out of 407, representing an overall survival rate of 98%. It ranged from 100% for D1 to 89.7% for D4 (n=39), with significantly higher survival rates for D2 (n=93) and D3 (n=165) (98.9% and 98.2%, respectively) compared to D4. According to the Kaplan-Meier analysis, an overall survival rate of 96.5% was estimated after four years. An average maximal insertion torque of 45±12.6 N.cm and bone loss of 0.2±1.2 mm were measured. Conclusion The high overall survival rate (98%), the average maximal insertion torque (45 N.cm), and the low marginal bone loss indicated good clinical results with acid-etched implants. Despite the relatively high survival rate for each bone quality, the significantly lower results in the D4 group highlight the expected benefits of bone quality-based implants and surgical protocols.

Novel Strategy for Surface Modification of Titanium Implants towards the Improvement of Osseointegration Property and Antibiotic Local Delivery. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2755.

Abstract
The topography and chemical composition modification of titanium (Ti) implants play a decisive role in improving biocompatibility and bioactivity, accelerating osseointegration, and, thus, determining clinical success. In spite of the development of surface modification strategies, bacterial contamination is a common cause of failure. The use of systemic antibiotic therapy does not guarantee action at the contaminated site. In this work, we proposed a surface treatment for Ti implants that aim to improve their osseointegration and reduce bacterial colonization in surgery sites due to the local release of antibiotic. The Ti discs were hydrothermally treated with 3M NaOH solution to form a nanostructured layer of titanate on the Ti surface. Metronidazole was impregnated on these nanostructured surfaces to enable its local release. The samples were coated with poly(vinyl alcohol)-PVA films with different thickness to evaluate a possible control of drug release. Gamma irradiation was used to crosslink the polymer chains to achieve hydrogel layer formation and to sterilize the samples. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, contact angle measurements, "in vitro" bioactivity, and drug release analysis. The alkaline hydrothermal treatment successfully produced intertwined, web-like nanostructures on the Ti surface, providing wettability and bioactivity to the Ti samples (Ti + TTNT samples). Metronidazole was successfully loaded and released from the Ti + TTNT samples coated or not with PVA. Although the polymeric film acted as a physical barrier to drug delivery, all groups reached the minimum inhibitory concentration for anaerobic bacteria. Thus, the surface modification method presented is a potential approach to improve the osseointegration of Ti implants and to associate local drug delivery with dental implants, preventing early infections and bone failure.

Abstract
The currently popular 3D printing makes it possible to produce spatial scaffolds, the main purpose of which is to obtain implants that have favourable mechanical properties to promote cell adhesion. This study aims to prove the influence of changes in selected geometrical parameters of scaffolds, used in intervertebral cages, on the mechanical properties obtained and thus on the osteointegration of the studied constructs with osteoblasts and fibroblasts. The stiffness values and maximum failure force of four modifications to geometric dimensions of the meshes were determined from the intendation test. Adhesion assays were conducted (including gentle pendulum motion) for Balb/3T3 fibroblasts and NHOst osteoblasts. The study revealed that an important geometrical parameter affecting the strength of the mesh is the height (h) of the connection point between arms of successive mesh cells. There was no significant effect of the mesh geometry on the abundance and survival of Balb/3T3 and NHOst cells. At the same time, fibroblasts were more likely to form colonies in the area where there is fusion of mesh cells, as opposed to osteoblasts that were more numerous at vertices of the mesh.

Abstract
Reduced skeletal loading associated with many conditions, such as neuromuscular injuries, can lead to bone fragility and may threaten the success of implant therapy. Our group has developed a botulinum toxin A (botox) injection model to imitate disease-reduced skeletal loading and reported that botox dramatically impaired the bone formation and osseointegration of titanium implants. Semaphorin 3A (sema3A) is an osteoprotective factor that increases bone formation and inhibits bone resorption, indicating its potential therapeutic role in improving osseointegration in vivo. We first evaluated the sema3A effect on whole bone morphology following botox injections by delivering sema3A via injection. We then evaluated the sema3A effect on the osseointegration of titanium implants with two different surface topographies by delivering sema3A to cortical bone defect sites prepared for implant insertion and above the implants after insertion using a copper-free click hydrogel that polymerizes rapidly in situ. Implants had hydrophobic smooth surfaces (PT) or multiscale biomimetic micro/nano topography (SLAnano). Sema3A rescued the botox-impaired bone formation. Furthermore, biomimetic Ti implants improved the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and mechanical properties of the integrated bone in the botox-treated rats, which sema3A enhanced. This study demonstrated the value of biomimetic approaches combining multiscale topography and biologics in improving the clinical outcomes of implant therapy.

Abstract
Microgrooved surfaces are recognized as an important strategy of tissue engineering to promote the alignment of bone cells. In this work, we have investigated the mechanical and morphological aspects of osteoblasts cells after interaction with different micro-structured polymeric surfaces. Femtosecond laser writing technique was used for the construction of circular and parallel microgrooved patterns in biocompatible polymeric surfaces based on pentaerythritol triacrylate. Additionally, we have studied the influence of the biocompatible TiO2 nanocrystals (NCs) related to the cell behavior, when incorporated to the photoresin. The atomic force microscopy technique was used to investigate the biomechanical reaction of the human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells for the different microgroove. It was demonstrated that osteoblasts grown on circular microgrooved surfaces exhibited significantly larger Young's modulus compared to cells sown on flat films. Furthermore, we could observe that TiO2 NCs improved the circular microgrooves effects, resulting in more populated sites, 34% more elongated cells, and increasing the cell stiffness by almost 160%. These results can guide the design and construction of effective scaffold surfaces with circular microgrooves for tissue engineering and bone regeneration.

Abstract
To achieve rapid and successful osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants, the underlying mechanisms of surface modification-mediated bone metabolism need to be clarified. Given that the microenvironment surrounding Ti implants may be altered after implant insertion, mitophagy as a key control system for cellular homeostasis is most likely to regulate osseointegration. Recent findings suggest that PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (Pink1)/Parkin-mediated mitophagy plays a key role in bone metabolism. Since the micro/nano-modified surfaces of Ti implants have been widely appreciated for osseointegration acceleration, we used two common micro/nano-modified techniques and demonstrated elevations of both the osteo-differentiation potential and Pink1/Parkin pathway of osteoblasts. Moreover, the Pink1/Parkin pathway exhibited an upward trend during osteoblast differentiation. However, when osteoblasts were treated with CCCP, a Pink1/Parkin inducer, the osteo-differentiation potential decreased. Our further study showed that the small GTPase Rab7, which was inhibited by CCCP, was essential for the Pink1/Parkin pathway. Upon Pink1 or Rab7 knockdown, the pro-osteogenic effect of micro/nano-modified Ti surfaces was significantly weakened. The present results demonstrated that Rab7 activation was essential for active mitophagy and osteogenesis. In addition, Rab7 was confirmed to mediate the process of autophagosome formation. Our findings provide novel insights into new targets for osseointegration promotion, regardless of Ti surface characteristics.

Abstract
Titanium is widely used in bone prostheses due to its excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration capacity. To understand the effect of sandblasted acid-etched (SAE) Ti implants on the biological responses of human osteoblast (HOb), their proteomic profiles were analyzed using nLC-MS/MS. The cells were cultured with the implant materials, and 2544 distinct proteins were detected in samples taken after 1, 3, and 7 days. Comparative analyses of proteomic data were performed using Perseus software. The expression of proteins related to EIF2, mTOR, insulin-secretion and IGF pathways showed marked differences in cells grown with SAE-Ti in comparison with cells cultured without Ti. Moreover, the proteomic profiles obtained with SAE-Ti were compared over time. The affected proteins were related to adhesion, immunity, oxidative stress, coagulation, angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and extracellular matrix formation functions. The proliferation, mineralization and osteogenic gene expression in HObs cultured with SAE-Ti were characterized in vitro. The results showed that the osteoblasts exposed to this material increase their mineralization rate and expression of COLI, RUNX2, SP7, CTNNB1, CAD13, IGF2, MAPK2, and mTOR. Overall, the observed proteomic profiles can explain the SAE-Ti osteogenic properties, widening our knowledge of key signaling pathways taking part in the early stages of the osseointegration process in this type of implantations.

Abstract
Bearing on artificial hip joint experiences friction, wear, and surface damage that impact on overall performance and leading to failure at a particular time due to continuous contact that endangers the user. Assessing bearing hip joint using clinical study, experimental testing, and mathematical formula approach is challenging because there are some obstacles from each approach. Computational simulation is an effective alternative approach that is affordable, relatively fast, and more accessible than other approaches in examining various complex conditions requiring extensive resources and several different parameters. In particular, different gait cycles affect the sliding distance and distribution of gait loading acting on the joints. Appropriate selection and addition of gait cycles in computation modelling are crucial for accurate and reliable prediction and analysis of bearing performance such as wear a failure of implants. However, a wide spread of gait cycles and loading data are being considered and studied by researchers as reported in literature. The current article describes a comprehensive literature review adopted walking condition that has been carried out to study bearing using computational simulation approach over the past 30 years. Many knowledge gaps related to adoption procedures, simplification, and future research have been identified to obtain bearing analysis results with more realistic computational simulation approach according to physiological human hip joints.

Abstract
Laser processing of dental implant surfaces is becoming a more widespread replacement for classical techniques due to its undeniable advantages, including control of oxide formation and structure and surface relief at the microscale. Thus, using a laser, we created several biomimetic topographies of various shapes on the surface of titanium screw-shaped implants to research their success and survival rates. A distinctive feature of the topographies is the presence of "µ-rooms", which are special spaces created by the depressions and elevations and are analogous to the µ-sized room in which the osteocyte will potentially live. We conducted the comparable in vivo study using dental implants with continuous (G-topography with µ-canals), discrete (S-topography with μ-cavities), and irregular (I-topography) laser-induced topographies. A histological analysis performed with the statistical method (with p-value less than 0.05) was conducted, which showed that G-topography had the highest BIC parameter and contained the highest number of mature osteocytes, indicating the best secondary stability and osseointegration.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:7811. [PMID: 36363402 PMCID: PMC9659274 DOI: 10.3390/ma15217811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Selective laser melting manufacture of patient specific Ti implants is serving as a promising approach for bone tissue engineering. The success of implantation is governed by effective osseointegration, which depends on the surface properties of implants. To improve the bioactivity and osteogenesis, the universal surface treatment for SLM-Ti implants is to remove the primitive roughness and then reengineer new roughness by various methods. In this study, the micro-sized partially melted Ti particles on the SLM-Ti surface were preserved for assembling mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres to obtain a unique micro/nano- topography through combination of SLM manufacture and sol-gel processes. The results of simulated body fluid immersion test showed that bioactive ions (Ca, Si) can be continuously and stably released from the MBG nanospheres. The osseointegration properties of SLM-Ti samples, examined using pre-osteoblast cells, showed enhanced adhesion and osteogenic differentiation compared with commercial pure titanium commonly used as orthopedic implants. Overall, the developed approach of construction of the dual micro/nano topography generated on the SLM-Ti native surface could be critical to enhance musculoskeletal implant performance.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:5117-5136. [PMID: 36345509 PMCID: PMC9636866 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s381222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose In clinical application of dental implants, the functional state of dendritic cells (DCs) has been suggested to have a close relationship with the implant survival rate or speed of osseointegration. Although microscale surfaces have a stable osteogenesis property, they also incline to trigger unfavorable DCs activation and threaten the osseointegration process. Nanoscale structures have an advantage in regulating cell immune response through orchestrating cell adhesion, indicating the potential of hierarchical micro/nanostructured surface in regulation of DCs’ activation without sacrificing the advantage of microscale topography. Materials and Methods Two micro/nanostructures were fabricated based on microscale rough surfaces through anodization or alkali treatment, the sand-blasted and acid-etched (SA) surface served as control. The surface characteristics, in vitro and in vivo DC immune reactions and β2 integrin-FAK signal expression were systematically investigated. The DC responses to different surface topographies after FAK inhibition were also tested. Results Both micro/nano-modified surfaces exhibited unique composite structures, with higher hydrophilicity and lower roughness compared to the SA surface. The DCs showed relatively immature functional states with round morphologies and significantly downregulated β2 integrin-FAK levels on micro/nanostructures. Implant surfaces with micro/nano-topographies also triggered lower levels of DC inflammatory responses than SA surfaces in vivo. The inhibited FAK activation effectively reduced the differences in topography-caused DC activation and narrowed the differences in DC activation among the three groups. Conclusion Compared to the SA surface with solely micro-scale topography, titanium surfaces with hybrid micro/nano-topographies reduced DC inflammatory response by influencing their adhesion states. This regulatory effect was accompanied by the modulation of β2 integrin-FAK signal expression. The β2 integrin-FAK-mediated adhesion plays a critical role in topography-induced DC activation, which represents a potential target for material–cell interaction regulation.

Abstract
Orthopedic implants are widely used for the treatment of bone defects caused by injury, infection, tumor and congenital diseases. However, poor osseointegration and implant failures still occur frequently due to the lack of direct contact between the implant and the bone. In order to improve the biointegration of implants with the host bone, surface modification is of particular interest and requirement in the development of implant materials. Implant surfaces that mimic the inherent surface roughness and hydrophilicity of native bone have been shown to provide osteogenic cells with topographic cues to promote tissue regeneration and new bone formation. A growing number of studies have shown that cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation are sensitive to these implant surface microtopography. This review is to provide a summary of the latest science of surface modified bone implants, focusing on how surface microtopography modulates osteoblast differentiation in vitro and osseointegration in vivo, signaling pathways in the process and types of surface modifications. The aim is to systematically provide comprehensive reference information for better fabrication of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Dental implants currently in use are mainly made of titanium or titanium alloys. As these metallic elements are immersed in an electrolytic medium, galvanic currents are produced between them or with other metals present in the mouth. These bimetallic currents have three potentially harmful effects on the patient: micro-discharges, corrosion, and finally, the dispersion of metal ions or their oxides, all of which have been extensively demonstrated in vitro. In this original work, a system for measuring the potentials generated in vivo is developed. Specifically, it is an electrogalvanic measurements system coupled with a periodontal probe that allows measurement of the potentials in the peri-implant sulcus. This device was tested and verified in vitro to guarantee its applicability in vivo. As a conclusion, this system is able to detect galvanic currents in vitro and it can be considered capable of being employed in vivo, so to assess the effects they may cause on dental implants.

Influence of the Surface Chemical Composition Differences between Zirconia and Titanium with the Similar Surface Structure and Roughness on Bone Formation. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12142478.

Abstract
The osseointegration of zirconia (ZrO2) implants is still controversial. In this study, we aimed to make clear the influence of surface chemical composition, Ti or ZrO2, to osseointegration. First, a roughened Ti surface was prepared with a combination of large-grit sandblasting and acid treatment. Then, we applied molecular precursor solution containing Zr complex onto roughened Ti surface and can deposit thin ZrO2 film onto roughened Ti surface. We can change surface chemical composition from Ti to ZrO2 without changing the surface structure and roughness of roughened Ti. The tetragonal Zr was uniformly present on the ZrO2-coated Ti surface, and the surface of the ZrO2-coated Ti showed a higher apparent zeta potential than Ti. Ti and ZrO2-coated Ti rectangular plate implant was placed into the femur bone defect. After 2 and 4 weeks of implantation, histomorphometric observation revealed that the bone-to-implant contact ratio and the bone mass values for ZrO2-coated Ti implants inserted into the femur bone defects of the rats at 2 weeks were significantly higher than those for Ti implants (p < 0.05). It revealed that ZrO2 with a similar surface structure and roughness as that of roughened Ti promoted osteogenesis equivalent to or better than that of Ti in the early bone formation stage.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of how Porphyromonas gingivalis responds to subperiosteal implant surface topography. A literature review was drawn from various electronic databases from 2000 to 2021. The two main keywords used were “Porphyromonas gingivalis” and “Surface Topography”. We excluded all reviews and or meta-analysis articles, articles not published in English, and articles with no surface characterization process or average surface roughness (Ra) value. A total of 26 selected publications were then included in this study. All research included showed the effect of topography on Porphyromonas gingivalis to various degrees. It was found that topography features such as size and shape affected Porphyromonas gingivalis adhesion to subperiosteal implant materials. In general, a smaller Ra value reduces Porphyromonas gingivalis regardless of the type of materials, with a threshold of 0.3 µm for titanium.

Crystalline Biomimetic Calcium Phosphate Coating on Mini-Pin Implants to Accelerate Osseointegration and Extend Drug Release Duration for an Orthodontic Application.

Abstract
Miniscrew implants (MSIs) have been widely used as temporary anchorage devices in orthodontic clinics. However, one of their major limitations is the relatively high failure rate. We hypothesize that a biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) coating layer on mini-pin implants might be able to accelerate the osseointegration, and can be a carrier for biological agents. A novel mini-pin implant to mimic the MSIs was used. BioCaP (amorphous or crystalline) coatings with or without the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were applied on such implants and inserted in the metaphyseal tibia in rats. The percentage of bone to implant contact (BIC) in histomorphometric analysis was used to evaluate the osteoconductivity of such implants from six different groups (n=6 rats per group): (1) no coating no BSA group, (2) no coating BSA adsorption group, (3) amorphous BioCaP coating group, (4) amorphous BioCaP coating-incorporated BSA group, (5) crystalline BioCaP coating group, and (6) crystalline BioCaP coating-incorporated BSA group. Samples were retrieved 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks post-surgery. The results showed that the crystalline BioCaP coating served as a drug carrier with a sustained release profile. Furthermore, the significant increase in BIC occurred at week 1 in the crystalline coating group, but at week 2 or week 4 in other groups. These findings indicate that the crystalline BioCaP coating can be a promising surface modification to facilitate early osseointegration and increase the success rate of miniscrew implants in orthodontic clinics.

Collagen-Based Osteogenic Nanocoating of Microrough Titanium Surfaces. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147803.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop a collagen/heparin-based multilayer coating on titanium surfaces for retarded release of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP2) to enhance the osteogenic activity of implant surfaces. Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings were constructed on sandblasted/acid-etched surfaces of titanium discs using heparin and collagen. PEM films of ten double layers were produced and overlayed with 200 µL of a rhBMP2 solution containing 15 µg rhBMP2. Subsequently, cross-linking of heparin molecules was performed using EDC/NHS chemistry to immobilize the incorporated rhBMP2. Release characteristics for 3 weeks, induction of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in C2C12 cells and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were evaluated to analyze the osteogenic capacity of the surface. The coating incorporated 10.5 µg rhBMP2 on average per disc and did not change the surface morphology. The release profile showed a delivery of 14.5% of the incorporated growth factor during the first 24 h with a decline towards the end of the observation period with a total release of 31.3%. Cross-linking reduced the release with an almost complete suppression at 100% cross-linking. Alkaline Phosphatase was significantly increased on day 1 and day 21, indicating that the growth factor bound in the coating remains active and available after 3 weeks. Proliferation of hMSCs was significantly enhanced by the non-cross-linked PEM coating. Nanocoating using collagen/heparin-based PEMs can incorporate clinically relevant amounts of rhBMP2 on titanium surfaces with a retarded release and a sustained enhancement of osteogenic activity without changing the surface morphology.

The Single-Step Fabrication of a Poly (Sodium Vinylsulfonate)-Grafted Polyetheretherketone Surface to Ameliorate Its Osteogenic Activity. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is considered a potential material for replacing traditional biomedical metals used in orthopedic implants because of its similar elastic modulus to human bone. However, the poor osteogenic activity of PEEK itself hinders its clinical application. In this study, a PEEK surface was grafted with poly (sodium vinylsulfonate) through a single-step ultraviolet-initiated graft polymerization method to ameliorate its osteogenic activity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and water contact angle measurements confirmed that different amounts of poly (sodium vinylsulfonate) were grafted onto the PEEK surface upon varying the ultraviolet irradiation time. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the surface topography and roughness of PEEK before and after surface grafting did not change significantly. The in vitro results showed that grafting with poly (sodium vinylsulfonate) rendered the PEEK surface with improved MC3T3-E1 osteoblast compatibility and osteogenic activity. Moreover, a PEEK surface with a higher grafting amount of poly (sodium vinylsulfonate) was observed to be more beneficial to the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. Collectively, by employing this simple and one-step method, the osteogenic activity of PEEK can be enhanced, paving the way for the clinical application of PEEK in orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Ordered microscale titanium (Ti) surface topography with homogeneous cell-sized microholes (20 µm in diameter) was fabricated using simple electrochemical etching. The as-prepared surface imposed with uniform titania nanotubes (TNTs, 70 nm in diameter) through electrochemical anodization showed no considerable change in the initial microscale morphology. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were used in evaluating the bioactivity. Compared with polished Ti and unordered microtextured Ti, the ordered microtextured Ti formed by electrochemical etching remarkably promoted cell attachment, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion, extracellular matrix mineralization, and osteogenesis-related gene expression but considerably inhibited cell proliferation. After TNTs were introduced to the ordered microtextured Ti, cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation indexes were further enhanced, and cell proliferation recovered over time. The ordered micro-/nanotextured Ti surface was more conducive to the cell attachment, proliferation, and osteogenesis of BMSCs than polished Ti with and without TNTs, unordered microtextured Ti with and without TNTs, and unitary ordered microtextured Ti. Thus, the novel ordered bio-inspired micro-/nanotextured structure composed of cell-sized microholes and TNTs on the Ti surface possessed a favorable interfacial environment that improved osseointegration, potentially optimizing Ti implant surface topography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Modernization of 3D printing has allowed for the production of porous titanium interbody cages (3D-pTi) which purportedly optimize implant characteristics and increase osseointegration; however, this remains largely unstudied in vivo. PURPOSE To compare osseointegration of three-dimensional (3D) titanium cages without bone graft and Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) interbody cages with autologous iliac crest bone graft (AICBG). STUDY DESIGN Animal study utilizing an ovine in vivo model of lumbar fusion. METHODS Interbody cages of PEEK or 3D-pTi supplied by Spineart SA (Geneva, Switzerland) were implanted in seven living sheep at L2-L3 and L4-L5, leaving the intervening disc space untreated. Both implant materials were used in each sheep and randomized to the aforementioned disc spaces. Computed tomography (CT) was obtained at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. MicroCT and histological sections were obtained to evaluate osseointegration. RESULTS MicroCT demonstrated osseous in-growth of native cancellous bone in the trabecular architecture of the 3D-pTi interbody cages and no interaction between the PEEK cages with the surrounding native bone. Qualitative histology revealed robust osseointegration in 3D-pTi implants and negligible osseointegration with localized fibrosis in PEEK implants. Evidence of intramembranous and endochondral ossification was apparent with the 3D-pTi cages. Quantitative histometric bone implant contact demonstrated significantly more contact in the 3D-pTi implants versus PEEK (p<.001); region of interest calculations also demonstrated significantly greater osseous and cartilaginous interdigitation at the implant-native bone interface with the 3D-pTi cages (p=.008 and p=.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS 3D-pTi interbody cages without bone graft outperform PEEK interbody cages with AICBG in terms of osseointegration at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively in an ovine lumbar fusion model. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE 3D-pTi interbody cages demonstrated early and robust osseointegration without any bone graft or additive osteoinductive agents. This may yield early stability in anterior lumbar arthrodesis and potentially bolster the rate of successful fusion. This could be of particular advantage in patients with spinal neoplasms needing post-ablative arthrodesis, where local autograft use would be ill advised.

Abstract
In recent years, the technology of dental implants has advanced a lot and this has become one of the main reasons for dentists to refer to implants immediately after tooth extraction. Evaluation of cell survival in implantology studies to determine cell sensitivity determines the outcome of treatment. This study aimed to investigate the bone integration properties as well as the cytotoxicity between the implant surface and the jaw bone. In this study, cytotoxicity test was used to evaluate the toxicity and viability of sandblasted large grit acid etched, and sandblasted large grit acid etched active surfaces in 3A brand dental implants with G292 osteoblastic cells and human gingival fibroblasts cells are discussed. This operation was performed using a laboratory incubator of the German company MEMMERT for 24 hours, by neubauer lam cells counting for one hundred thousand cultured cells in each test at a temperature of 37 °C, a pressure of 1 atmosphere and 90% humidity. Based on the scanning electron microscopy images and the cytotoxicity test results, it can be seen that the bone graft of the implant, with the sandblasted large grit acid etched active surface treatment, is much better and also one week faster than the implant with the sandblasted large grit acid etched one. However, the viability of the implant with the sandblasted large grit acid etched active surface treatment for both G292 osteoblastic cells and human gingival fibroblasts cells samples was equal to 98.4% and 97.3%, respectively, and is lower than the sandblasted large grit acid etched surface treatment. The results show that the viability of the sandblasted large grit acid etched implant is about 1.5 to 2% higher than the sandblasted large grit acid etched active one, but the surface integrity of sandblasted large grit acid etched active is better than sandblasted large grit acid etched in all samples, and the treatment process is reduced by one week.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish a modular platform of poly-L-lysine-heparin (PLL-Hep) polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings on titanium surfaces for dual growth factor delivery of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP2) and recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (rhVEGF165) in clinically relevant quantities. Release characteristics for both growth factors differed significantly depending on film architecture. rhBMP2 induced activation of alkaline phosphatase in C2C12 cells and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). rhVEGF mediated induction of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in hMSCs and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Osteogenic and angiogenic effects were modified by variation in cross-linking and architecture of the PEMs. By creating multilayer films with distinct zones, release characteristics and proportion of both growth factor delivery could be tuned and surface-activity modified to enhance angiogenic or osteogenic function in various ways. In summary, the system provides a modular platform for growth factor delivery that allows for individual composition and accentuation of angiogenic and osteogenic surface properties.

Abstract
Titanium implants have been widely applied in dentistry and orthopedics due to their biocompatibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue. TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTAs) on titanium implant surfaces have exhibited excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, and adjustability, which can significantly promote osseointegration and participate in its entire path. In this review, to give a comprehensive understanding of the osseointegration process, four stages have been divided according to pivotal biological processes, including protein adsorption, inflammatory cell adhesion/inflammatory response, additional relevant cell adhesion and angiogenesis/osteogenesis. The impact of TiO2 NTAs on osseointegration is clarified in detail from the four stages. The nanotubular layer can manipulate the quantity, the species and the conformation of adsorbed protein. For inflammatory cells adhesion and inflammatory response, TiO2 NTAs improve macrophage adhesion on the surface and induce M2-polarization. TiO2 NTAs also facilitate the repairment-related cells adhesion and filopodia formation for additional relevant cells adhesion. In the angiogenesis and osteogenesis stage, TiO2 NTAs show the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation and the potential for blood vessel formation. In the end, we propose the multi-dimensional regulation of TiO2 NTAs on titanium implants to achieve highly efficient manipulation of osseointegration, which may provide views on the rational design and development of titanium implants.

Abstract
Background: The increasing demand for bone implants with improved osseointegration properties has prompted researchers to develop various coating types for metal implants. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method for producing nanoscale coatings conformally on complex three-dimensional surfaces. We have prepared hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on titanium (Ti) substrate with the ALD method and analyzed the biocompatibility of this coating in terms of cell adhesion and viability. Methods: HA coatings were prepared on Ti substrates by depositing CaCO3 films by ALD and converting them to HA by wet treatment in dilute phosphate solution. MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts were cultured on ALD-HA, glass slides and bovine bone slices. ALD-HA and glass slides were either coated or non-coated with fibronectin. After 48h culture, cells were imaged with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analyzed by vinculin antibody staining for focal adhesion localization. An 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test was performed to study cell viability. Results: Vinculin staining revealed similar focal adhesion-like structures on ALD-HA as on glass slides and bone, albeit on ALD-HA and bone the structures were thinner compared to glass slides. This might be due to thin and broad focal adhesions on complex three-dimensional surfaces of ALD-HA and bone. The MTT test showed comparable cell viability on ALD-HA, glass slides and bone. Conclusion: ALD-HA coating was shown to be biocompatible in regard to cell adhesion and viability. This leads to new opportunities in developing improved implant coatings for better osseointegration and implant survival.

Abstract
Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) biomaterial has been increasingly employed for orthopedic, trauma, spinal, and dental implants due to its biocompatibility and in vivo stability. However, a lack of bioactivity and binding ability to natural bone tissue has significantly limited PEEK for many challenging dental implant applications. In this work, nanocomposites based on PEEK reinforced with bioactive silicate-based bioceramics (forsterite or bioglass) as nanofillers were prepared using high energy ball milling followed by melt blending and compression molding. The influence of nanofillers type and content (10, 20 and 30 wt.%) on the crystalline structure, morphology, surface roughness, hydrophilicity, microhardness, elastic compression modulus, and flexural strength of the nanocomposites was investigated. The scanning electron microscopy images of the nanocomposites with low nanofillers content showed a homogenous surface with uniform dispersion within the PEEK matrix with no agglomerates. All nanocomposites showed an increased surface roughness compared to pristine PEEK. It was found that the incorporation of 20 wt.% forsterite was the most effective in the nanocomposite formulation compared with bioglass-based nanocomposites; it has significantly improved the elastic modulus, flexural strength, and microhardness. In vitro bioactivity evaluation, which used biomimetic simulated body fluid indicated the ability of PEEK nanocomposites loaded with forsterite or bioglass nanofillers to precipitate calcium and phosphate bone minerals on its surface. These nanocomposites are expected to be used in long-term load-bearing implant applications and could be recommended as a promising alternative to titanium and zirconia when used as a dental implant material.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are extensively applied in dental and orthopedic implants due to their characteristics of good mechanical property and corrosion resistance. However, Ti and its alloys suffer from the absence of certain biological activity and antibacterial ability. Herein, we synthesized a titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorod array on the surface of a Ti plate, and the obtained TiO2 nanorod array was further modified by Cu ions through ion implantation technology in an attempt to endow medical Ti with an antibacterial ability and maintain a normal biological function synchronously. The antibacterial ability of the TiO2 nanorod array with the incorporation of Cu ions was vastly improved compared with those of the unmodified TiO2 nanorod array and pure Ti. In particular, owing to the synergy between the chemical damage of the released Cu2+ to the cell and the mechanical cracking of the TiO2 nanorod array, the antibacterial rate of the TiO2 nanorod array modified by Cu ions against Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus could reach 99%. In addition, no cytotoxicity was detected in such prepared coating during the CCK-8 assay. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of the sample was significantly better than that of pure Ti. Overall, we demonstrated that the application of ion implantation technology could open up a promising pathway to design and develop further antibacterial material for the biomedical domain.

Abstract
Nest-like nanofiber structures have potential applications in surface modifications of titanium implants. In this study, nest-like nanofiber structures were prepared on a titanium surface at room temperature and pressure by using the nanobowl template-assisted method combined with alkali etching. The characterization and biocompatibility of this material were analyzed by cellular adhesion, death, CCK-8, ALP, and RT-PCR assays in vitro, and osseointegration was evaluated by micro-CT and fluorescent labeling in vivo. The results showed that this nest-like nanofiber structure has a firmer and asperate surface than nanotubes, which leads to better cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation capacity. In a beagle alveolar bone implant model, the nest-like nanofiber structure showed a better osseointegration capacity. In conclusion, this nest-like nanofiber structure has potential applications in dental implantology.

Abstract
Chemical and topographical surface modifications on dental implants aim to increase the bone surface contact area of the implant and improve osseointegration. This study analyzed the cellular response of undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), derived from senile rats’ femoral bone marrow, when cultured on a bioactive coating (by plasma electrolytic oxidation, PEO, with Ca2+ and P5+ ions), a sandblasting followed by acid-etching (SLA) surface, and a machined surface (MSU). A total of 102 Ti-6Al-4V discs were divided into three groups (n = 34). The surface chemistry was analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Cell viability assay, gene expression of osteoblastic markers, and mineralized matrix formation were investigated. The cell growth and viability results were higher for PEO vs. MSU surface (p = 0.001). An increase in cell proliferation from 3 to 7 days (p < 0.05) and from 7 to 10 days (p < 0.05) was noted for PEO and SLA surfaces. Gene expression for OSX, ALP, BSP, and OPN showed a statistical significance (p = 0.001) among groups. In addition, the PEO surface showed a higher mineralized matrix bone formation (p = 0.003). In conclusion, MSC from senile female rats cultured on SLA and PEO surfaces showed similar cellular responses and should be considered for future clinical investigations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we intend to assess the function of Sema3A in osteointegration of titanium implants both in vivo and in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Briefly, Sema3A was transfected in HBMSCs cells to detect its effect on osteogenesis. Subsequently, an in vivo rabbit model was established. Eighteen female rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups (n=6), and rabbits in the two treatment groups (OVX groups) were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy, while those in the control group were treated with sham operation. Twelve weeks later, we first examined expression levels of Sema3A in rabbits of the three groups. Titanium implants were implanted in rabbit proximal tibia. Specifically, rabbits in sham group were implanted with Matrigel, while the remaining in the OVX experimental group (OVX+Sema3A group) and OVX group were implanted with Matrigel containing Sema3A adeno-associated virus or empty vector, respectively. RESULTS Histomorphometry results uncovered that rabbits in the OVX+Sema3A group had a significantly higher BIC compared with those of the OVX group on the 12th week of post-implantation. And compared with the OVX group, the maximum push-out force increased by 89.4%, and the stiffness increased by 39.4%, the toughness increased by 63.8% in the OVX+Sema3A group at 12 weeks. CONCLUSION Sema3A has a positive effect on promoting early osseointegration of titanium implants in osteoporotic rabbits. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our research found that Sema3A can improve the osteogenic ability of bone marrow stem cells and promotes osseointegration during osteoporosis.

Abstract
This paper presents the development of advanced Ti implants with enhanced antibacterial activity. The implants were engineered using additive manufacturing three-dimensional (3D) printing technology followed by surface modification with electrochemical anodization and hydrothermal etching, to create unique hierarchical micro/nanosurface topographies of microspheres covered with sharp nanopillars that can mechanically kill bacteria in contact with the surface. To achieve enhanced antibacterial performance, fabricated Ti implant models were loaded with gallium nitrate as an antibacterial agent. The antibacterial efficacy of the fabricated substrates with the combined action of sharp nanopillars and locally releasing gallium ions (Ga3+) was evaluated toward Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results confirm the significant antibacterial performance of Ga3+-loaded substrates with a 100% eradication of bacteria. The nanopillars significantly reduced bacterial attachment and prevented biofilm formation while also killing any bacteria remaining on the surface. Furthermore, 3D-printed surfaces with microspheres of diameter 5-30 μm and interspaces of 12-35 μm favored the attachment of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells, as confirmed via the assessment of their attachment, proliferation, and viability. This study provides important progress toward engineering of next-generation 3D-printed implants, that combine surface chemistry and structure to achieve a highly efficacious antibacterial surface with dual cytocompatibility to overcome the limitations of conventional Ti implants.

Abstract
Selective laser melting (SLM) titanium (Ti) implants have shown good prospects for personalized clinical application, but further research is necessary to develop stabilized long-term properties. Since surface modification has been proven bioactive for osseointegration, conventional Ti surface treatment technologies, including sandblasting/acid-etching (SLA) and sandblasting/alkali-heating (SAH), were applied to construct micro and micro/nano surfaces. The SAH group with netlike nano-structure topography exhibited appropriate surface roughness and high hydrophilicity, and as expected, the osseointegration capacities in vivo of the three groups were in order of SAH > SLA > SLM. Besides, both in vivo and in vitro studies revealed that the SLA- and SAH-treated SLM Ti implants significantly inhibited osteoclast activity of peri-implants. Considering the close associations between osteoclasts and macrophages, the effects of Ti surface topography on macrophage polarization were detected. The results showed that the SLA- and SAH-treated SLM Ti implants, especially the latter, had the capacity to promote macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype. Moreover, the cell culture supernatants of M2 macrophages and RAW264.7 cells seeded on SLA- and SAH-treated SLM Ti surfaces had an adverse effect on osteoclastogenesis. Collectively, this study demonstrated that micro/nano topographies of SLM Ti implants were effective for osseointegration promotion, and their inhibition of osteoclastogenesis might be attributed to macrophage polarization. Our findings shed some light on clinical application of SLM Ti implants and also prove a specific association between macrophage polarization and osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Ti and Ti alloys have charming comprehensive properties (high specific strength, strong corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility) that make them the ideal choice in orthopedic and dental applications, especially in the particular fabrication of orthopedic and dental implants. However, these alloys present some shortcomings, specifically elastic modulus, wear, corrosion, and biological performance. Beta-titanium (β-Ti) alloys have been studied as low elastic modulus and low toxic or non-toxic elements. The present work summarizes the improvements of the properties systematically (elastic modulus, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, antibacterial property, and bone regeneration) for β-Ti alloys via surface modification to address these shortcomings. Additionally, the shortcomings and prospects of the present research are put forward. β-Ti alloys have potential regarding implants in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Abstract Commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys have been among the most commonly used materials for biomedical applications since the 1950s. Due to the excellent mechanical tribological properties, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties of titanium, it is getting much attention as a biomaterial for implants. Furthermore, titanium promotes osseointegration without any additional adhesives by physically bonding with the living bone at the implant site. These properties are crucial for producing high-strength metallic alloys for biomedical applications. Titanium alloys are manufactured into the three types of α, β, and α + β. The scientific and clinical understanding of titanium and its potential applications, especially in the biomedical field, are still in the early stages. This review aims to establish a credible platform for the current and future roles of titanium in biomedicine. We first explore the developmental history of titanium. Then, we review the recent advancement of the utility of titanium in diverse biomedical areas, its functional properties, mechanisms of biocompatibility, host tissue responses, and various relevant antimicrobial strategies. Future research will be directed toward advanced manufacturing technologies, such as powder-based additive manufacturing, electron beam melting and laser melting deposition, as well as analyzing the effects of alloying elements on the biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties of titanium. Moreover, the role of titania nanotubes in regenerative medicine and nanomedicine applications, such as localized drug delivery system, immunomodulatory agents, antibacterial agents, and hemocompatibility, is investigated, and the paper concludes with the future outlook of titanium alloys as biomaterials.

Mechanical Properties and Residual Stress Measurements of Grade IV Titanium and Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-13Nb-13Zr Titanium Alloys after Laser Treatment. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216316. [PMID: 34771847 PMCID: PMC8585406 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Nowadays, surface engineering focuses on research into materials for medical applications. Titanium and its alloys are prominent, especially Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-13Nb-13Zr. Samples made of pure grade IV titanium and the titanium alloys Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-13Nb-13Zr were modified via laser treatment with laser beam frequency f = 25 Hz and laser beam power P = 1000 W during a laser pulse with duration t = 1 ms. Subsequently, to analyze the properties of the obtained surface layers, the following tests were performed: scanning electron microscopy, chemical and phase composition analysis, wetting angle tests and roughness tests. The assessment of the impact of the laser modification on the internal stresses of the investigated materials was carried out by comparing the values of the stresses of the laser-modified samples to those of the reference samples. The obtained results showed increased values of tensile stresses after laser modification: the highest value was found for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy at 6.7434 GPa and the lowest for pure grade IV titanium at 3.742 GPa. After laser and heat treatment, a reduction in the stress was observed, together with a significant increase in the hardness of the tested materials, with the highest value for Ti-6Al-4V alloy at 27.723 GPa. This can provide better abrasion resistance and lower long-term toxicity, both of which are desirable when using Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys for implant materials.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been the most widely used orthopedic implant in the past decades. However, their inert surface often leads to insufficient osteointegration of Ti implant. To solve this issue, two bioactive Mg(OH)2 films were developed on Ti surfaces using hydrothermal treatment (Ti-M1# and Ti-M2#). The Mg(OH)2 films showed nano-flake structures: sheets on Ti-M1# with a thickness of 14.7 ± 0.7 nm and a length of 131.5 ± 2.9 nm, and on Ti-M2# with a thickness of 13.4 ± 2.2 nm and a length of 56.9 ± 5.6 nm. Both films worked as Mg ions releasing platforms. With the gradual degradation of Mg(OH)2 films, weakly alkaline microenvironments will be established surrounding the modified implants. Benefiting from the sustained release of Mg ions, nanostructures, and weakly alkaline microenvironments, the as-prepared nano-Mg(OH)2 coated Ti showed better in vitro and in vivo osteogenesis. Notably, Ti-M2# showed better osteogenesis than Ti-M1#, which can be ascribed to its smaller nanostructure. Moreover, whole genome expression analysis was applied to study the osteogenic mechanism of nano-Mg(OH)2 films. For both coated samples, most of the genes related to ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, and TGF-β pathways were upregulated, indicating that these signaling pathways were activated, leading to better osteogenesis. Furthermore, cells cultured on Ti-M2# showed markedly upregulated BMP-4 gene expression, suggesting that the nanostructure with Mg ion release ability can better activate BMP-4 related signaling pathways, resulting in better osteogenesis. Nano-Mg(OH)2 films demonstrated a superior osteogenesis and are promising surface modification strategy for orthopedic applications.
