AbstractThe creation of micro-textured dental implant surfaces possessing a stimulating activity represents a challenge in implant dentistry; particularly, the formation of a thin, biologically active, calcium-phosphate layer on their surface could help to strengthen the bond to the surrounding bone. The aim of the present study was to characterize in terms of macrostructure, micro-topography and reactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF), the surface of titanium (Ti) implants blasted with TiO2 particles, acid etched with hydrofluoric acid, and activated with Ca and Mg-containing nanoparticles. Sandblasted and acid-etched implants were analyzed by ESEM-EDX (environmental scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray system) to study the micromorphology of the surface and to perform elemental X-ray microanalysis (microchemical analyses) and element mapping. ESEM-EDX analyses were performed at time 0 and after a 28-day soaking period in SBF Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) following ISO 23317 (implants for surgery—in vitro evaluation for apatite-forming ability of implant materials). Microchemical analyses (weight % and atomic %) and element mapping were carried out to evaluate the relative element content, element distribution, and calcium/phosphorus (Ca/P) atomic ratio. Raman spectroscopy was used to assess the possible presence of impurities due to manufacturing and to investigate the phases formed upon HBSS soaking. Micro-morphological analyses showed a micro-textured, highly rough surface with microgrooves. Microchemical analyses showed compositional differences among the apical, middle, and distal thirds. The micro-Raman analyses of the as-received implant showed the presence of amorphous Ti oxide and traces of anatase, calcite, and a carbonaceous material derived from the decomposition of an organic component of lipidic nature (presumably used as lubricant). A uniform layer of Ca-poor calcium phosphates (CaPs) (Ca/P ratio <1.47) was observed after soaking in HBSS; the detection of the 961 cm−1 Raman band confirms this finding. These implants showed a micro-textured surface supporting the formation of CaPs when immersed in SBF. These properties may likely favor bone anchorage and healing by stimulation of mineralizing cells.

In the present study, thein vitrobioactivity of silver-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp/Ag) scaffolds was investigated. HAp/Ag was prepared using two different modified wet precipitation methods. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) results showed, that sintered HAp/Ag samples prepared using method (I) contain two phases HAp and Ag, but samples prepared by method (II) contain three different phases - HAp, Ag and AgO. After 2 month incubation period in simulated body fluid (SBF), surface of HAp/Ag scaffolds was coated with bone-like apatite. Thickness of bone-like apatite layer increased from 2 μm up to 32 μm, increasing the incubation period.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were deposited onto Ti6Al4V substrate by microplasma spraying (MPS) in the current research. The morphology, phase compositions, and percentage of crystallinity of the coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. An in vitro evaluation by soaking the coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 14 days was conducted aiming at the evaluation of their bioactivity. Results from the present investigation suggest that microplasma sprayed HA coatings exhibited certain roughness, pores, and microcracks. Thermal decomposition existed in the coatings where HA, α-TCP，β-TCP, amorphous phases, and CaO-exclusive impurities were observed. The in vitro test indicated that HA coatings deposited by MPS possessed better bioactivity and stability. A layer of carbonate-apatite covered most of the coating surface, which did not exhibit significant spalling after incubation in SBF.

Nanostructured titania/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite layer was developed on commercially pure titanium (Cp Ti) implant material by plasma electrolytic processing (PEP) technique in order to improve its bioactivity and corrosion resistance under physiological conditions. The phases present in the developed composite layer were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The surface morphology and thickness of the composite layers were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion characteristics of the developed layer were studied by potentiodynamic polarization scan under simulated body fluid (7.4 pH Hanks solution) and simulated osteoclast (4.5 pH) conditions. The in-vitro bioactivity of the composite layers was studied by using Kokubu’s simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The X-ray diffractograms reveal the presence of anatase TiO2 and HA phases in the developed layer. The SEM results confirm the pore-free morphology of the implant material surface and the thickness of the developed composite layer was observed to be 110 ± 5 µm for 12 min of PEP. The potentiodynamic polarization study shows an improved corrosion resistance and the in-vitro bioactivity test results indicate enhanced apatite forming ability of PEP treated Cp Ti surfaces compared to that of the untreated Cp Ti, under simulated body fluid conditions.

Implant Integration

The leading reason for implant revision surgery globally is lack of implant integration with surrounding bone. A new titanium alloy GUMMETAL® (Ti59Nb36Ta2Zr3O0.3) is currently used in biomedical devices and has a Young’s modulus that is better matched to bone. The surface was subject to NaOH, CaCl2, heat and water treatment (BioGum) after which the surfaces were evaluated using atomic force microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and elemental analysis using energy dispersive X-ray. To demonstrate enhanced bone bonding ability and cytocompatibility, apatite formation in simulated body fluid and in vitro stem cell attachment, proliferation and cytoskeleton organisation were examined. The formation of a ~200 nm nanoscale needle-like calcium titanate network on the surface following treatment was revealed and upon soaking in simulated body fluid, the formation of a ~5 µm layer of apatite. Metabolic activity of rat bone marrow stem cells on BioGum was increased in comparison to control and the cell number appeared greater, with more elongated morphology as early as 2 h post-seeding. This positions the modification as a simple and potentially universal technology for the improvement of implant integration.

TiO2 coatings on titanium alloy substrates were prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying using commercial nano-powders. Then, as-sprayed coatings were treated using 10% hydrofluoric acid (HF) at room temperature for 30 seconds. As-sprayed and HF-treated titania coatings were soaked in simulated body fluid to investigate the formation of apatite on their surface. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the surface morphologies, and the phase composition of the as-sprayed coating and apatite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. As-sprayed titania coating is composed of rutile, anatase, and a small quantity of Ti3O5. It exhibited excellent adhesion between the TiO2 coatings and titanium alloy substrates, and the bonding strength was about 38 MPa. After in vitro experiment, a new substance containing calcium and phosphate was formed on the surface of HF-treated TiO2 coatings after being soaked in SBF, while the new substance was not formed on the surface of as-sprayed TiO2 coatings. The results indicated that the bioactivity can be induced to the surface of plasma sprayed TiO2 coatings by hydrofluoric acid treatment.

Titanium and its alloys are widely used as biomaterials due to their mechanical, chemical and biological properties. To enhance the biocompatibility of titanium alloys, various surface treatments have been proposed. In particular, the formation of titanium oxide nanotubes layers has been extensively examined. Among the various materials for implants, calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite are widely used clinically. In this work, titanium nanotubes were fabricated on the surface of Ti-7.5Mo alloy by anodization. The samples were anodized for 20 V in an electrolyte containing glycerol in combination with ammonium fluoride (NH4F, 0.25%), and the anodization time was 24 h. After being anodized, specimens were heat treated at 450 °C and 600°C for 1 h to crystallize the amorphous TiO2 nanotubes and then treated with NaOH solution to make them bioactive, to induce growth of calcium phosphate in a simulated body fluid. Surface morphology and coating chemistry were obtained respectively using, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), AFM and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was shown that the presence of titanium nanotubes induces the growth of a sodium titanate nanolayer. During the subsequent in-vitro immersion in a simulated body fluid, the sodium titanate nanolayer induced the nucleation and growth of nanodimensioned calcium phosphate. It was possible to observe the formation of TiO2 nanotubes on the surface of Ti-7.5Mo. Calcium phosphate coating was greater in the samples with larger nanotube diameter. These findings represent a simple surface treatment for Ti-7.5Mo alloy that has high potential for biomedical applications.

Many materials with different surfaces have been developed for dental and orthopedics implants. Among the various materials for implants, titanium and bioactive ones such as calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite, are widely used clinically. When these materials are inserted into bone several biological reactions occur. Thes processes can be associated with surface properties (topography, roughness and surface energy). In this work, ingots were obtained from titanium and molybdenum by using an arc-melting furnace. They were submitted to heat treatment at 1100°C for one hour, cooled in water and cold worked by swaging. Titanium nanotubes were fabricated on the surface of Ti-7,5Mo alloy by anodization, and then treated with NaOH solution to make them bioactive, to induce growth of calcium phosphate in a simulated body fluid. . It is shown that the presence of titanium nanotubes induces the growth of a sodium titanate nanolayer. During the subsequent in-vitro immersion in a simulated body fluid, the sodium titanate nanolayer induced the nucleation and growth of nano-dimensioned calcium phosphate. These titanium nanotubes can be useful as a well-adhered bioactive surface layer on Ti implant metals for orthopedic and dental implants.

Biomechanical Compatibility

Titania ceramics is lack of bone-bonding ability even if it has excellent biocompatibility. Recently, it is even found that the nanophase titania ceramics could enhance the proliferation of osteoblasts. If the bone-bonding ability of this material is improved, it would be a potential bone replacement material. Bioactive glass-ceramic (BGC) is provided with the best bioactivity in biomaterials. In this study, the apatite formation ability and the mechanic properties of titania ceramic were investigated by the accession of BGC. Four samples: TiO2 ceramic, TiO2 +10%BGC, TiO2 +20%BGC and BGC were prepared respectively. These ceramics were exposed to a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7, 14 and 21d. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX) and thin film X-ray diffraction (TF-XRD) results showed that the apatite formation of the ceramics was improved by adding BGC into nanophase titania ceramic. The mechanical analysis showed the biomechanical compatibility was also improved by adding BGC into nanophase titania ceramic.

Magnesium apatite (MA, (Ca9Mg)(PO4)6(OH)2) and Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were synthesized on Ti6Al4V substrates by a sol-gel dip coating method. Glucose and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were added to the standard simulated body fluid (SBF) separately to form organic-containing simulated body fluids. MA and HA coatings were immersed in standard and organic modified SBF for time periods of 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days at 37±1°C. The surface dissolution and deposition behavior of the coatings after soaking were examined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that glucose in SBF has no apparent effect on the deposition of new apatite from the solution. BSA in SBF shows retardation effect on the deposition of apatite by forming a protein dominant globular layer. This layer inhibits the further deposition of apatite from SBF solution.
