Bio-Inspired Micro- and Nano-Scale Surface Features Produced by Femtosecond Laser-Texturing Enhance TiZr-Implant Osseointegration. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2400810. [PMID: 38857489 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202400810] [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: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Surface design plays a critical role in determining the integration of dental implants with bone tissue. Femtosecond laser-texturing has emerged as a breakthrough technology offering excellent uniformity and reproducibility in implant surface features. However, when compared to state-of-the-art sandblasted and acid-etched surfaces, laser-textured surface designs typically underperform in terms of osseointegration. This study investigates the capacity of a bio-inspired femtosecond laser-textured surface design to enhance osseointegration compared to state-of-the-art sandblasted & acid-etched surfaces. Laser-texturing facilitates the production of an organized trabeculae-like microarchitecture with superimposed nano-scale laser-induced periodic surface structures on both 2D and 3D samples of titanium-zirconium-alloy. Following a boiling treatment to modify the surface chemistry, improving wettability to a contact angle of 10°, laser-textured surfaces enhance fibrin network formation when in contact with human whole blood, comparable to state-of-the-art surfaces. In vitro experiments demonstrate that laser-textured surfaces significantly outperform state-of-the-art surfaces with a 2.5-fold higher level of mineralization by bone progenitor cells after 28 days of culture. Furthermore, in vivo evaluations reveal superior biomechanical integration of laser-textured surfaces after 28 days of implantation. Notably, during abiological pull-out tests, laser-textured surfaces exhibit comparable performance, suggesting that the observed enhanced osseointegration is primarily driven by the biological response to the surface.

J Prosthet Dent 2024; 132:219-228. [PMID: 35850873 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Studies to determine a suitable surface treatment that improves bonding without compromising the strength or translucency of ultratranslucent zirconia are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on translucency, surface topography, phase transformation, biaxial flexural strength, bond strength, and durability. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 169 ultratranslucent zirconia disks were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the surface treatment applied: airborne-particle abrasion (APA) (n=46), tribochemical silica airborne-particle abrasion (TS) (n=46), nonthermal oxygen plasma (NTP) (n=46), and no treatment, control (C) (n=31). The translucency parameter (ΔTP00) was evaluated with a spectrophotometer (n=15), phase transformation was assessed with an X-ray diffractometer (n=5), surface topography was evaluated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (n=3), and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) was tested with a universal testing machine (n=15). For the microshear bond strength (μSBS) test, 40 composite resin specimens were attached to 8 disks and tested with a universal testing machine; 20 specimens were tested after 24 hours, and 20 specimens after hydrothermal aging in a thermocycler (TC). The data were analyzed with ANOVA followed by the Tukey post hoc test (α=.05). Weibull analysis was performed for the flexural strength and μSBS results. RESULTS Significant ΔTP00 differences were found among all groups and were highest for the APA group (7.33) and lowest for the NTP group (4.79). The NTP group had a significantly higher monoclinic weight fraction value (4.54%) than other groups. The NTP group had significantly higher BFS (581.31) than other groups, while the APA group showed significantly lower values than other groups (340.43). The APA group had significantly higher μSBS values after 24 hours (13.51 MPa) and after TC (13.68 MPa) than the other groups (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Although APA and TS are effective techniques for improving resin-zirconia bonding, they result in significantly higher deterioration of translucency and strength. NTP significantly improved the BFS of zirconia; however, it showed lower bond strength values than other methods.

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
E. faecalis has been associated with bacteremia, sepsis, and bacterial endocarditis and peri-implantitis. This microorganism can remain in the alveolus even after extraction of the root remnant. This study aimed to evaluate the corrosion on different surfaces of commercially pure titanium (Ti) grade 4 (Ticp-G4) as a function of the bacterial biofilm effect of Enterococcus faecalis. A total of 57 discs were randomly divided according to their surface finish (n = 19). For microbiological analysis (n = 9), the discs were placed in 12-well plates containing E. faecalis culture and incubated at 37 °C for 7 days. The results show that for the intergroup analysis, considering the "electrolyte" factor, there was a difference between the groups. There was greater biofilm formation for the D.A.Zir group, with greater electrochemical exchange for Biofilm, and the presence of biofilm favored greater electrochemical exchange with the medium.

JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY (SHIRAZ, IRAN) 2022; 23:489-497. [PMID: 36718163 PMCID: PMC9883626 DOI: 10.30476/dentjods.2021.91574.1592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Statement of the Problem Unsuccessful implant integration leads to pain and implant mobility. Implant photo-functionalization by ultraviolet (UV) light has been suggested as a method that may stimulate osseointegration. Purpose This study was conducted to analyze the histopathological feature of the titanium implant surface upon treatment with UV-C wave. Materials and Method In this interventional study, twenty rabbits were enrolled. In the treatment groups, the titanium implants, irradiated earlier with UV-C for four hours laterally, were inserted in one of the femur bones. In the control group, the titanium implants without irradiation were inserted in the other femur bone of the rabbits. After two and four weeks, the animals were sacrificed, and then the samples were histologically and histo-morphometrically analyzed. In addition, the amounts of new bone formation, bleeding, and inflammation were recorded, and the data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results The results confirmed that UV-C irradiation to titanium implants significantly improved new bone formation (p< 0.001). However, no significant new bone formation was observed between two and four weeks after implant insertion (p< 0.098). Conclusion The study results showed that irradiating titanium implants with UV-C for four hours significantly improves osseointegration and new bone formation but does not considerably affect inflammation or bleeding around the implant. The study suggests that UV-C radiation can increase the success rate of implant treatment.

In Vitro Evaluation of the Shading Effect of Various Zirconia Surface Stains on Porcelain Crowns. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
Human teeth display various colors under natural light. Dental restorations, such as zirconia crowns, are generally used to rehabilitate the oral function of patients with tooth loss due to trauma or natural tooth falls. However, significant improvements in the color and translucency of zirconia are required to meet the clinical needs for dental restoration. In the past, a large amount of ceramic powder has been used to improve the appearance of zirconia. However, the interface between the ceramic powder and zirconia makes them prone to falling off. Therefore, the aesthetics of zirconia crowns remains a major challenge. Recently, substantial advances have been made in the field of dental materials, as special staining agents for zirconia have been introduced as alternatives to ceramic powders. Therefore, this study tested zirconia-specific staining agents that were used to produce zirconia samples with A1 and A3 colors. A dental colorimetric plate was used as the control group to assess the staining effects of the different brands of staining agents. Meanwhile, two hypotheses were proposed: that the staining effects of these special staining agents for zirconia met the criteria for clinical application and that there was no significant difference between the different staining agents for zirconia. The results showed that the coatings of different brands of staining agents were ultrathin, with a thickness of approximately 27–78 µm. In addition, the coloring effects of the zirconia staining agents were not significantly different from those of the colorimetric plates. After staining, the zirconia samples had decreased surface roughness and contact angle values, which improved surface smoothness and cleanliness. In summary, the results support the hypothesis of this study that zirconia stains can be used as an alternative to the current fabrication methods for clinical dental restorations. We sought to identify the clinical techniques that are easier to perform and to overcome the current problem of dental technicians requiring considerable dentin space for staining. It is expected that the results of this study will be useful in clinical dental restorations.

Abstract
In order for bioceramics to be further used in composites and their applications, it is important to change the surface so that the inert material is ready to interact with another material. Medical grade alumina and zirconia ceramic powders have been chemically etched with three selected acidic mixtures. Powder samples were taken for characterization, which was the key to evaluating a successful surface change. Changes in morphology, together with chemical composition, were studied using scanning electron microscopy, phase composition using X-ray diffraction methods, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms are used to evaluate specific surface area and porosity. The application of HF negatively affected the morphology of the material and caused agglomeration. The most effective modification of ceramic powders was the application of a piranha solution to obtain a new surface and a satisfactory degree of agglomeration. The prepared micro-roughness of the etched ceramic would provide an improved surface of the material either for its next step of incorporation into the selected matrix or to directly aid in the attachment and proliferation of osteoblast cells.

Abstract
Zirconia-based bioceramic is a potential material for dental implants developed and introduced in dentistry 30 years ago. However, some limitations still exist for zirconia implants caused by several factors, such as manufacturing difficulties, low-temperature degradation (LTD), long-term stability, and clinical experience. Several studies validated that some subtle changes on the zirconia surface might significantly impact its mechanical properties and osseointegration. Thus, attention was paid to the effect of surface modification of zirconia implants. This review generally summarizes the surface modifications of zirconia implants to date classified as physical treatment, chemical treatment, and surface coating, aiming to give an overall perspective based on the current situation. In conclusion, surface modification is an effective and essential method for zirconia implant application. However, before clinical use, we need more knowledge about these modification methods.

Abstract
Various types of zirconia are widely used for the fabrication of dental implant superstructures and fixtures. Zirconia-alumina composites, such as ATZ and NanoZR, are adequate for implant fixtures because they have excellent mechanical strength in spite of insufficient esthetic properties. On the other hand, yttria-stabilized zirconia has been used for implant superstructures because of sufficient esthetic properties. They are classified to 12 types with yttria content, monochromatic/polychromatic, uniform/hybrid composition, and monolayer/multilayer. Zirconia with a higher yttria content has higher translucency and lower mechanical strength. Fracture strength of superstructures strongly depends on the strength on the occlusal contact region. It suggests that adequate zirconia should be selected as the superstructure crown, depending on whether strength or esthetics is prioritized. Low temperature degradation of zirconia decreases with yttria content, but even 3Y zirconia has a sufficient durability in oral condition. Although zirconia is the hardest dental materials, zirconia restorative rarely subjects the antagonist teeth to occlusal wear when it is mirror polished. Furthermore, zirconia has less bacterial adhesion and better soft tissue adhesion when it is mirror polished. This indicates that zirconia has advantageous for implant superstructures. As implant fixtures, zirconia is required for surface modification to obtain osseointegration to bone. Various surface treatments, such as roughening, surface activation, and coating, has been developed and improved. It is concluded that an adequately selected zirconia is a suitable material as implant superstructures and fixtures because of mechanically, esthetically, and biologically excellent properties.

Abstract
The zirconia implants have a wide range of clinical applications, however, the biological inertness and lack of osteoinductive properties limit these applications. Strontium possesses superior biocompatibility and excellent osteogenic properties. To take advantage of these, the strontium titanate-coated zirconia implants were prepared in this study by sandblasting, acid etching, and magnetron sputtering, followed by the analysis of the biological behavior. Briefly, the zirconia sheets were polished and subjected to sandblasting and acid etching. Subsequently, a nano‑strontium titanate coating was developed on the sheets by magnetron sputtering. The specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle measurement (WCA) and EDS mapping, which confirmed the physical alternation and successful deposition of the strontium titanate coating. The in vitro experiments indicated that the majority of the filopodia and actin fibers of the MC3T3-E1 cells on SA-ZrO2/Sr possessed an optimal osteogenic property to promote the osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, the RT-PCR results revealed that SA-ZrO2/Sr significantly up-regulated the gene expression of Runx2, COL-1, ALP, OPG, OPN and OCN. Further, the in vivo evaluation confirmed that the SA-ZrO2/Sr implants promoted the bone-implant osseointegration to the greatest extent as compared to SA-ZrO2 and ZrO2 implant. Overall, the SA-ZrO2/Sr system was confirmed to be a promising implant, thus, providing new pathways for an effective implant design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To coat a zirconia surface with silica-zirconia using a dip-coating technique and evaluate its effect on resin-zirconia shear bond strength (SBS). METHODS A silica-zirconia suspension was prepared and used to coat a zirconia surface using a dip-coating technique. One hundred and eighty-nine zirconia disks were divided into three groups according to their different surface treatments (polishing, sandblasting, and silica-zirconia coating). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the differently treated zirconia surfaces. Different primer treatments (Monobond N, Z-PRIME Plus, and no primer) were also applied to the zirconia surfaces. Subsequently, 180 composite resin cylinders (Filtek Z350) were cemented onto the zirconia disks with resin cement (RelyX Ultimate). The SBS was measured after water storage for 24 h or 6 months. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS SEM and EDX showed that the silica-zirconia coating produced a porous layer with additional Si, and XRD showed that only tetragonal zirconia was on the silica-zirconia-coating surface. Compared with the control group, the resin-zirconia SBSs of the sandblasting group and silica-zirconia-coating group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The silica-zirconia coating followed by the application of Monobond N produced the highest SBS (P<0.05). Water aging significantly reduced the resin-zirconia SBS (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Dip-coating with silica-zirconia might be a feasible way to improve resin-zirconia bonding.

Abstract
The high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and perfect esthetics of ceramic dental materials motivate investigation into their suitability as an endosseous implant. Osseointegration at the interface between bone and implant surface, which is a criterion for dental implant success, is dependent on surface chemistry and topography. We found out earlier that osteoblasts on sharp-edged micro-topographies revealed an impaired cell phenotype and function and the cells attempted to phagocytize these spiky elevations in vitro. Therefore, micro-structured implants used in dental surgery should avoid any spiky topography on their surface. The sandblasted, acid-etched, and heat-treated yttria-stabilized zirconia (cer.face®14) surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. In vitro studies with human MG-63 osteoblasts focused on cell attachment and intracellular stress level. The cer.face 14 surface featured a landscape with nano-micro hills that was most sinusoidal-shaped. The mildly curved profile proved to be a suitable material for cell anchorage. MG-63 cells on cer.face 14 showed a very low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation similar to that on the extracellular matrix protein collagen I (Col). Intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were comparable to Col. Ceramic cer.face 14, with its sinusoidal-shaped surface structure, facilitates cell anchorage and prevents cell stress.

Abstract
Nanostructured zirconia/alumina composite (NANOZR) has been explored as a suitable material for fabricating implants for patients with metal allergy. In this study, we examined the effect of UV treatment on the NANOZR surface. The experimental group was UV-treated NANOZR and the control group was untreated NANOZR. Observation of the surface of the UV-treated materials revealed no mechanical or structural change; however, the carbon content on the material surface was reduced, and the material surface displayed superhydrophilicity. Further, the effects of the UV-induced superhydrophilic properties of NANOZR plates on the adhesion behavior of various cells were investigated. Treatment of the NANOZR surface was found to facilitate protein adsorption onto it. An in vitro evaluation using rat bone marrow cells, human vascular endothelial cells, and rat periodontal ligament cells revealed high levels of adhesion in the experimental group. In addition, it was clarified that the NANOZR surface forms active oxygen and suppresses the generation of oxidative stress. Overall, the study results suggested that UV-treated NANOZR is useful as a new ceramic implant material.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a plaque-initiating infectious disease that can be prevented by interfering with the initial bacterial attachment. At present, surface modification of implants using antimicrobial peptides can interfere with the adhesion of streptococci. In this study, the structure and function of chimeric peptides were compared to get a strategy to modify a Ti surface. Compared to the antimicrobial activity with a fragment of hBD-3, the bifunctional and multifunctional chimeric peptides retain their antimicrobial function. All peptides showed antimicrobial activity against streptococcus in biofilm and planktonic conditions. The results demonstrate significant improvement in reducing bacterial colonization onto titanium surfaces. According to the results of structure analysis, the antimicrobial activity of tyrosine in hBD3-3 was stronger than that of the alpha helix in bifunctional or multifunctional chimeric peptides. Rigid connections were proved to avoid functional domain changes due to the interaction of charges. These results indicated that the endogenous peptide fragments modifying the Ti surface could provide an environmentally friendly approach to reduce or prevent the occurrence of peri-implant diseases. The antimicrobial activity of Tyr structure in hBD3-3 is stronger than that of the α-helix structure in multifunctional chimeric peptides. Rigid connections avoid functional domain changes. Endogenous peptide fragments on a Ti surface could reduce peri-implant diseases.![]()
