In this study, a novel modification strategy was established to synthesize a zinc-incorporated nano-cluster structure on titanium surface in a two-step hydrothermal reaction, and the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts and human bone marrow mesenchymal cells (hMSCs) was studied in the presence of this synthesized nanostructure. Analyses of the surface topography and elemental composition revealed that the zinc-containing cluster-like nanostructure was successfully prepared on the titanium surface. By altering the reaction time, three surface modifications were established. The three modified titanium surfaces had improved hydrophilicity and could continuously release zinc ions in a controlled manner. In vitro study displayed that three modified titanium surfaces, especially the samples prepared by reacting for 15 min, exhibited enhanced cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation compared to the pure titanium surface. The study therefore conclude that the zinc-incorporated nano-cluster modification of titanium surface through a simple procedure can establish an enhanced osteogenic microenvironment and exhibit a potential strategy of titanium surface modification to accelerate the dental implant osseointegration.

AbstractPeri-implant infection is one of the biggest threats to the success of dental implant. Existing coatings on titanium surfaces exhibit rapid decrease in antibacterial efficacy, which is difficult to promisingly prevent peri-implant infection. Herein, we report an N-halamine polymeric coating on titanium surface that simultaneously has long-lasting renewable antibacterial efficacy with good stability and biocompatibility. Our coating is powerfully biocidal against both main pathogenic bacteria of peri-implant infection and complex bacteria from peri-implantitis patients. More importantly, its antibacterial efficacy can persist for a long term (e.g., 12~16 weeks) in vitro, in animal model, and even in human oral cavity, which generally covers the whole formation process of osseointegrated interface. Furthermore, after consumption, it can regain its antibacterial ability by facile rechlorination, highlighting a valuable concept of renewable antibacterial coating in dental implant. These findings indicate an appealing application prospect for prevention and treatment of peri-implant infection.

Recent progress in the industrial development of dental implants has improved their surface bio-affinity, while clinical implantologists attempt to improve it through coating with various compounds, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in clinical settings. However, it is poorly understood how PRP acts on titanium surfaces. To validate this surface modification method and demonstrate how platelet-derived soluble biomolecules released from the activated adherent platelets act on plain, commercially pure-titanium (cp-Ti) plates, we evaluated the distribution of biomolecules by immunofluorescence. PPARγ, PDGF-B, and TGFβ1 were similarly released at immunofluorescence levels from activated adherent platelets, retained in the surrounding extra-platelet spaces for a while, and did not immediately diffuse away to distant spaces. Exogenously added CaCl2 augmented release and retention of those biomolecules along with activation and aggregation. Taken together with our previous data regarding platelet adhesion, these findings suggest that especially when treated with CaCl2, platelets immediately adhere on cp-Ti plates to release their stored biomolecules in the absence of plasma proteins and that these biomolecules do not diffuse away, but stay longer in extra-platelet spaces around the platelets by newly formed, immature fibrin fiber fragments. Consequently, these retained biomolecules are anticipated to cooperatively stabilize implants by stimulating alveolar bone regeneration and integration.

AbstractThe effects of alkaline pH on the initial adhesion of osteoblasts to titanium surfaces was analyzed by single cell force microscopy (SCFM). In the SCFM measurements, the same cells were used to compare their unspecific adhesion to uncoated titanium with their specific adhesion to collagen coated titanium. When the maximum detachment forces (MDFs) were compared at pH 7.4 and 8.0, only slight differences were found on pure titanium, while the MDFs were significantly increased at collagen coated surfaces at pH 8.0. Effects on the subsequent proliferation and gene expression were investigated in an in vitro model system consisting of an alkalizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix and a perforated titanium disc. The sodium hydroxide releasing matrix maintained the medium pH between pH 7.6 and pH 8.4 during the entire experiment. Under these conditions, cell counts were significantly increased with respect to the control system after 7 days in culture. These results were supported by gene expression analyses, which showed an upregulation of proliferation-controlling genes of the EGFR1 and PI3K/AKT pathways after 14 days in culture. The SCFM data were complemented by findings of an intensive regulation of genes known to be associated with focal adhesion such as Itga8 and Tnn.

This research was aimed at the construction and characterization of nano-FHA bioceramic coating on titanium surface. Nano-FHA coating was constructed on the surface of commercially pure titanium by sol-gel route. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electromicroscope (SEM) and dissolution test was employed to characterize the obtained coating. In vitro cellular responses of osteoblasts to the coating were also evaluated by MTT assay, ALP assay and SEM observation. Conventional HA coatings and commercially pure titanium (cpTi) were taken as control. Results show the nano-FHA bioceramic coating has good crystallization and homogeneous, nano-scale surface morphology. The dissolution rate of the coating is favorable. The in vitro osteoblasts culture exhibits satisfactory bioactivity.

Surface wettability is thought to influence the osteoconductivity of bone-substituting materials; however, the effects of surface wettability on osteoblast behavior are not well understood. In this study, we prepared both an as-polished pure titanium with a water contact angle (WCA) of 57° and heat-treated pure titanium with more hydrophobic surface and WCAs of 68°-98°. The effects of the surface wettability of pure titanium on osteoblast behaviors were evaluated by in vitro assays. Compared with the as-polished titanium, the proliferation rate of osteoblast increased on heat-treated titanium. This suggested that surface wettability affects osteoblast behaviors, meaning osteoconductivity is influenced by surface wettability.

In this study, a hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated on a pure titanium surface by means of a complex oxidation and hydrothermal treatment. First an anodic oxidation was done on the titanium plates, followed by micro-arc oxidation. The HA-coated specimens and pure titanium specimens were immersed in SLB for 1, 5, and 10 days, respectively, to study their electrochemical behavior. The corrosion currents of HA-coated specimens were less than pure titanium specimens. This indicated that HA coating prevented surface metal ions of the implant from dissolving, thereby, reducing the tissue toxicity. The cytotoxic effect on fibroblasts L929 cells was measured by cell counting after being seeded for 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. The number of surface cell attachments on the HA-coated specimens was much greater than on pure titanium specimens. The morphology of the cells on the HA coating had normal shapes and spread well with some cells climbing onto surface pores while cells on the pure titanium were oval shaped. The results confirm that the cell compatibility on HA-coated ion titanium surfaces is much better than pure titanium.

Titanium Surfaces

The contact of a cell on the biomaterial’s surface is mediated by its adhesion components. The topography of titanium surfaces influences these adhesion components of osteoblasts, e.g. the integrins, the adapter proteins and the actin cytoskeleton. In our current experiments we were interested in why osteoblasts were strongly aligned to the grooves of a structured pure titanium surface (grade 2). The titanium was characterized by EIS to get insights in the electro-chemically active surface. We used MG-63 human bone cells, cultured in DMEM with 10% FCS at 37°C. For protein adsorption the titanium discs were incubated for 24h with complete medium containing soluble fibronectin at 37°C. Interestingly, only in the grooves cells adhered and were aligned and this is not dependent on the gravitation. The cell adhesion seems to depend on the protein adsorption of fibronectin which we could find to be adsorbed exclusively in the valleys. We speculate that there are local differences in electro-chemical characteristics of this structured titanium surface.

Abstract Purpose Osseointegration at the titanium surface-bone interface is one of the key factors affecting the success rate of dental implants. However, the titanium surface always forms a passive oxide layer and impacts bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation after exposure to the atmosphere, which further leads to poor osseointegration. Given that wet storage helps prevent titanium aging and that weakly alkaline conditions stimulate BMSC osteogenic differentiation, the aim of the present study was to explore whether sodium bicarbonate, a well-known hydrogen ion (pH) buffer, forms an alkaline microenvironment on titanium surfaces to promote BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Material and methods In this work, sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA) titanium discs were soaked in 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, and 200 mM sodium bicarbonate at room temperature for 5 min without rinsing. The influence of this surface modification on BMSC adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation was measured. Additionally, cellular osteogenic differentiation–associated signaling pathways were evaluated. Results We showed that titanium discs treated with sodium bicarbonate created an extracellular environment with a higher pH for BMSCs than the normal physiological value for 5 days, strongly promoting BMSC osteogenic differentiation via the activation of integrin-focal adhesion kinase-alkaline phosphatase (Itg-FAK-ALP). In addition, the proliferation and adhesion of BMSCs were increased after alkaline treatment. These cellular effects were most significant with 100 mM sodium bicarbonate. Conclusion The results indicated that the titanium surface treated with sodium bicarbonate improved BMSC osteogenic differentiation mainly by creating an alkaline microenvironment, which further activated the Itg-FAK-ALP signaling pathway. Clinical relevance Surfaces modified with 100 mM sodium bicarbonate had the highest initial pH value and thus showed the greatest potential to improve BMSC performance on titanium surfaces, identifying a novel conservation method for dental implants.

Osteogenic cells are strongly influenced in their behaviour by the surface properties of orthopaedic implant materials. Mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (MSPCs) migrate to the bone–implant interface, adhere to the material surface, proliferate and subsequently differentiate into osteoblasts, which are responsible for the formation of the bone matrix. Five surface topographies on titanium aluminium vanadium (TiAl6V4) were engineered to investigate biocompatibility and adhesion potential of human osteoblasts and the changes in osteogenic differentiation of MSPCs. Elemental analysis of TiAl6V4 discs coated with titanium nitride (TiN), silver (Ag), roughened surface, and pure titanium (cpTi) surface was analysed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In vitro cell viability, cytotoxicity, adhesion behaviour, and osteogenic differentiation potential were measured via CellTiter-Glo, CytoTox, ELISA, Luminex® technology, and RT-PCR respectively. The Ag coating reduced the growth of osteoblasts, whereas the viability of MSPCs increased significantly. The roughened and the cpTi surface improved the viability of all cell types. The additive coatings of the TiAl6V4 alloy improved the adhesion of osteoblasts and MSPCs. With regard to the osteogenic differentiation potential, an enhanced effect has been demonstrated, especially in the case of roughened and cpTi coatings.
