Abstract
The interaction between oral bacteria and dental implant surfaces is a critical factor in the success and longevity of dental implants. With advancements in additive manufacturing technologies, selective laser melting (SLM) has emerged as a prominent method for producing titanium implants with highly controlled microstructures and porosities. These 3D printed titanium surfaces offer significant benefits, such as enhanced osseointegration and improved mechanical properties. However, the same surface features that promote bone cell attachment and proliferation may also provide favorable conditions for bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Understanding the dynamics of these interactions is essential for developing implant surfaces that can effectively resist bacterial colonization while promoting tissue integration. This narrative review explores the complex interplay between oral bacteria and SLM-produced titanium porous surfaces, examining current research findings and potential strategies for optimizing implant design to mitigate the risks of infection and ensure successful clinical outcomes.

Effects of electrical stimulation with alternating fields on the osseointegration of titanium implants in the rabbit tibia - a pilot study. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1395715. [PMID: 39113790 PMCID: PMC11303232 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1395715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Electrical stimulation has been used as a promising approach in bone repair for several decades. However, the therapeutic use is hampered by inconsistent results due to a lack of standardized application protocols. Recently, electrical stimulation has been considered for the improvement of the osseointegration of dental and endoprosthetic implants. Methods: In a pilot study, the suitability of a specifically developed device for electrical stimulation in situ was assessed. Here, the impact of alternating electric fields on implant osseointegration was tested in a gap model using New Zealand White Rabbits. Stimulation parameters were transmitted to the device via a radio transceiver, thus allowing for real-time monitoring and, if required, variations of stimulation parameters. The effect of electrical stimulation on implant osseointegration was quantified by the bone-implant contact (BIC) assessed by histomorphometric (2D) and µCT (3D) analysis. Results: Direct stimulation with an alternating electric potential of 150 mV and 20 Hz for three times a day (45 min per unit) resulted in improved osseointegration of the triangular titanium implants in the tibiae of the rabbits. The ratio of bone area in histomorphometry (2D analysis) and bone volume (3D analysis) around the implant were significantly increased after stimulation compared to the untreated controls at sacrifice 84 days after implantation. Conclusion: The developed experimental design of an electrical stimulation system, which was directly located in the defect zone of rabbit tibiae, provided feedback regarding the integrity of the stimulation device throughout an experiment and would allow variations in the stimulation parameters in future studies. Within this study, electrical stimulation resulted in enhanced implant osseointegration. However, direct electrical stimulation of bone tissue requires the definition of dose-response curves and optimal duration of treatment, which should be the subject of subsequent studies.

An innovative intramedullary bone graft harvesting concept as a fundamental component of scaffold-guided bone regeneration: A preclinical in vivo validation. J Orthop Translat 2024; 47:1-14. [PMID: 38957270 PMCID: PMC11215842 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2024.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The deployment of bone grafts (BGs) is critical to the success of scaffold-guided bone regeneration (SGBR) of large bone defects. It is thus critical to provide harvesting devices that maximize osteogenic capacity of the autograft while also minimizing graft damage during collection. As an alternative to the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator 2 (RIA 2) system - the gold standard for large-volume graft harvesting used in orthopaedic clinics today - a novel intramedullary BG harvesting concept has been preclinically introduced and referred to as the ARA (aspirator + reaming-aspiration) concept. The ARA concept uses aspiration of the intramedullary content, followed by medullary reaming-aspiration of the endosteal bone. This concept allows greater customization of BG harvesting conditions vis-à-vis the RIA 2 system. Following its successful in vitro validation, we hypothesized that an ARA concept-collected BG would have comparable in vivo osteogenic capacity compared to the RIA 2 system-collected BG. Methods We used 3D-printed, medical-grade polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite (mPCL-HA, wt 96 %:4 %) scaffolds with a Voronoi design, loaded with or without different sheep-harvested BGs and tested them in an ectopic bone formation rat model for up to 8 weeks. Results Active bone regeneration was observed throughout the scaffold-BG constructs, particularly on the surface of the bone chips with endochondral bone formation, and highly vascularized tissue formed within the fully interconnected pore architecture. There were no differences between the BGs derived from the RIA 2 system and the ARA concept in new bone volume formation and in compression tests (Young's modulus, p = 0.74; yield strength, p = 0.50). These results highlight that the osteogenic capacities of the mPCL-HA Voronoi scaffold loaded with BGs from the ARA concept and the RIA 2 system are equivalent. Conclusion In conclusion, the ARA concept offers a promising alternative to the RIA 2 system for harvesting BGs to be clinically integrated into SGBR strategies. The translational potential of this article Our results show that biodegradable composite scaffolds loaded with BGs from the novel intramedullary harvesting concept and the RIA 2 system have equivalent osteogenic capacity. Thus, the innovative, highly intuitive intramedullary harvesting concept offers a promising alternative to the RIA 2 system for harvesting bone grafts, which are an important component for the routine translation of SGBR concepts into clinical practice.

Abstract
In this study, multi-scale triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) porous scaffolds with uniform and radial gradient distribution on pore size were printed based on the selective laser melting technology, and the influences of porosity, pore size and radial pore size distribution on compression mechanical properties, cell behavior, and bone regeneration behavior were analyzed. The results showed that the compression performance of the uniform porous scaffolds with high porosity was similar to that of cancellous bone of pig tibia, and the gradient porous scaffolds have higher elastic modulus and compressive toughness. After 4 days of cell culture, cells were distributed on the surface of scaffolds mostly, and the number of adherent cells was higher on the small pore size porous scaffolds; After 7 days, the area and density of cell proliferation on the scaffolds were improved; After 14 days, the cells on the small pore size scaffolds tended to migrate to adjacent pores. Animal implantation experiments showed that collagen fiber osteoid was intermittent on scaffolds with high porosity and large pore size, which was not conducive to bone formation. The appropriate pore size and porosity of bone regeneration were 792 um and 83%, respectively, and the regenerative ability of gradient pore size was better than that of uniform pore size. Our study explains the rules of TPMS gyroid structure parameters on compression performance, cell response and bone regeneration, and provides a reference value for the design of bone repair scaffolds for clinical orthopedics.

Improvement of Metal-Doped β-TCP Scaffolds for Active Bone Substitutes via Ultra-Short Laser Structuring. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1392. [PMID: 38135983 PMCID: PMC10741177 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10121392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Various efforts have been made to develop antibacterial biomaterials capable of also sustaining bone remodulation to be used as bone substitutes and reduce patient infection rates and related costs. In this work, beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was chosen due to its known biocompatibility and use as a bone substitute. Metal dopants were incorporated into the crystal structure of the β-TCP, and disks were produced from this material. Magnesium and strontium, as well as copper and silver, were chosen as dopants to improve the osteogenic and antibacterial properties, respectively. The surface of the β-TCP samples was further modified using a femtosecond laser system. Grid and line patterns were produced on the plates' surface via laser ablation, creating grooves with depths lower than 20 μm and widths between 20 and 40 μm. Raman and FTIR analysis confirmed that laser ablation did not result in the degradation or phase change of the materials, making it suitable for surface patterning. Laser ablation resulted in increased hydrophilicity of the materials, as the control samples (non-ablated samples) have WCA values ranging from 70° to 93° and become, upon laser ablation, superwicking surfaces. Confocal measurements show an increase in specific surface area of 50% to 200% compared to the control. Overall, the results indicate the potential of laser ablation to improve the surface characteristics of β-TCP, which may lead to an improvement in the antibacterial and osteogenic properties of the produced materials.

Abstract
(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how a zirconia implant surface treated with laser technology affects the degree of biofilm formation. (2) Methods: Experimental titanium (Ti) disks were produced that were sandblasted with large grit and acid-etched (T), and they were compared with zirconia (ZrO2) discs with a machined (M) surface topography; a hydrophilic surface topography with a femtosecond laser (HF); and a hydrophobic surface topography with a nanosecond laser (HN) (N = 12 per surface group). An in vitro three-species biofilm sample (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi)) was applied to each disc type, and bacterial adhesion was assessed after 48 and 72 h of incubation using an anaerobic flow chamber model. Statistical significance was determined using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, with Bonferroni correction used for the post-hoc test (α = 0.05). (3) Results: Compared to the T group, the M group exhibited more than twice as many viable bacterial counts in the three-species biofilm samples (p < 0.05). In comparison to the T group, the HF group had significantly higher viable bacterial counts in certain biofilm samples at 48 h (Aa and Pi) and 72 h (Pi) (p < 0.05). The HN group had higher viable bacterial counts in Pi at 48 h (5400 CFU/mL, p < 0.05) than the T group (4500 CFU/mL), while showing significantly lower viable bacterial counts in Pg at both 48 (3010 CFU/mL) and 72 h (3190 CFU/mL) (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: The surface treatment method for zirconia discs greatly influences biofilm formation. Notably, hydrophobic surface treatment using a nanosecond laser was particularly effective at inhibiting Pg growth.

Abstract
The increasing need for joint replacement surgeries, musculoskeletal repairs, and orthodontics worldwide prompts emerging technologies to evolve with healthcare's changing landscape. Metallic orthopaedic materials have a shared application history with the aerospace industry, making them only partly efficient in the biomedical domain. However, suitability of metallic materials in bone tissue replacements and regenerative therapies remains unchallenged due to their superior mechanical properties, eventhough they are not perfectly biocompatible. Therefore, exploring ways to improve biocompatibility is the most critical step toward designing the next generation of metallic biomaterials. This review discusses methods of improving biocompatibility of metals used in biomedical devices using surface modification, bulk modification, and incorporation of biologics. Our investigation spans multiple length scales, from bulk metals to the effect of microporosities, surface nanoarchitecture, and biomolecules such as DNA incorporation for enhanced biological response in metallic materials. We examine recent technologies such as 3D printing in alloy design and storing surface charge on nanoarchitecture surfaces, metal-on-metal, and ceramic-on-metal coatings to present a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the subject. Finally, we consider the advantages and challenges of metallic biomaterials and identify future directions.

Abstract
This study prospectively evaluated non-submerged, three-dimensionally printed, one-piece molar porous root-analogue titanium implants. A total of 18 non-restorable multiple-rooted teeth in 18 patients, aged 22-64 years, were included in this study. A series of computed tomography images of the mandible were selected and rendered into a digital model. The non-restorable mandibular molars were digitally separated from the surrounding alveolar bone, and served as the template on which the porous root-analogue titanium implants (RAIs) were designed with computer-aided design (CAD) software. The porous molar RAIs were fabricated with the selective laser melting technique (average particle size 20 μm) and inserted into the alveolar sockets after extraction of the non-restorable molars. Definitive restorations were placed after 3 months of uninterrupted healing. Peri-implant clinical and radiographic measurements were obtained 2 years later. All patients functioned well following 2 years of functional loading, and peri-implant clinical and radiographic measurements demonstrated implant stability. No implants were lost at the 2-year follow-up, and the survival rate was 100%. Three-dimensionally printed one-piece molar porous RAIs may be a promising option for the replacement of non-restorable molars that are planned for extraction. Additional studies are required to evaluate the long-term survival of implants fabricated using this technique.

Cells 2022; 11:cells11203251.

Abstract
The number of bone fractures and cracks requiring surgical interventions increases every year; hence, there is a huge need to develop new potential bone scaffolds for bone regeneration. The goal of this study was to gain knowledge about the basic properties of novel curdlan/whey protein isolate/hydroxyapatite biomaterials in the context of their use in bone tissue engineering. The purpose of this research was also to determine whether the concentration of whey protein isolate in scaffolds has an influence on their properties. Thus, two biomaterials differing in the concentration of whey protein isolate (i.e., 25 wt.% and 35 wt.%; hereafter called Cur_WPI25_HAp and Cur_WPI35_HAp, respectively) were fabricated and subjected to evaluation of porosity, mechanical properties, swelling ability, protein release capacity, enzymatic biodegradability, bioactivity, and cytocompatibility towards osteoblasts in vitro. It was found that both biomaterials fulfilled a number of requirements for bone scaffolds, as they demonstrated limited swelling and the ability to undergo controllable enzymatic biodegradation, to form apatite layers on their surfaces and to support the viability, growth, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts. On the other hand, the biomaterials were characterized by low open porosity, which may hinder the penetration of cells though their structure. Moreover, they had low mechanical properties compared to natural bone, which limits their use to filling of bone defects in non-load bearing implantation areas, e.g., in the craniofacial area, but then they will be additionally supported by application of mechanically strong materials such as titanium plates. Thus, this preliminary in vitro research indicates that biomaterials composed of curdlan, whey protein isolate, and hydroxyapatite seem promising for bone tissue engineering applications, but their porosity and mechanical properties should be improved. This will be the subject of our further work.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a significant problem associated with dental implants. It has been hypothesized that creating a soft-tissue seal around the implant neck prevents peri-implantitis. This study aims to clarify the effects of the surface smoothness of titanium disks on soft tissues. Thus, titanium disks were prepared through electrolytic composite polishing (ECP), sisal buffing (SB), hairline polishing (HP), and laser cutting (LC). The surface roughness values of seven items was measured. For ECP, SB, HP, and LC samples, the Ra values were 0.075, 0.217, 0.671, and 1.024 μm and the Sa values were 0.005, 0.115, 0.500, and 0.676, respectively, indicating that the surface roughness was remarkably lower with ECP. Moreover, the Wsk values for ECP, SB, HP, and LC were 0.521, 1.018, -0.678, and -0.558, respectively. The smooth surfaces produced by ECP and SB were biased toward the concave surface, whereas those produced by HP and LC were biased toward the convex surface. The Rku values for ECP, SB, HP, and LC were 2.984, 11.774, 14.182, and 26.232, respectively. Only the ECP exhibited a moderate bias peak and produced an extremely smooth surface. The contact angles in the cases of ECP, SB, HP, and LC were 60.1°, 66.3°, 68.4°, and 79.3°, respectively, indicating the hydrophobicity of the titanium disks. Human oral fibroblasts were then incubated on each disk for 24 and 48 h to measure cell attachment, and no significant differences were observed. The differences in Ra and Sa did not affect cell attachment. Therefore, by applying ECP to the abutment or implant neck, the cell attachment required for soft-tissue formation while preventing bacterial adhesion can be achieved.

Abstract
Porosity is an important material feature commonly employed in implants and tissue scaffolds. The presence of material voids permits the infiltration of cells, mechanical compliance, and outward diffusion of pharmaceutical agents. Various studies have confirmed that porosity indeed promotes favorable tissue responses, including minimal fibrous encapsulation during the foreign body reaction (FBR). However, increased biofilm formation and calcification is also described to arise due to biomaterial porosity. Additionally, the relevance of host responses like the FBR, infection, calcification, and thrombosis are dependent on tissue location and specific tissue microenvironment. In this review, the features of porous materials and the implications of porosity in the context of medical devices is discussed. Common methods to create porous materials are also discussed, as well as the parameters that are used to tune pore features. Responses toward porous biomaterials are also reviewed, including the various stages of the FBR, hemocompatibility, biofilm formation, and calcification. Finally, these host responses are considered in tissue specific locations including the subcutis, bone, cardiovascular system, brain, eye, and female reproductive tract. The effects of porosity across the various tissues of the body is highlighted and the need to consider the tissue context when engineering biomaterials is emphasized.

Abstract
Magnesium has mechanical properties similar to those of bone and is being considered as a potential bone substitute. In the present study, two different pore sized scaffolds of the Mg alloy LAE442, coated with magnesium fluoride, were compared. The scaffolds had interconnecting pores of either 400 (p400) or 500 µm (p500). ß-TCP served as control. Ten scaffolds per time group (6, 12, 24, 36 weeks) were implanted in the trochanter major of rabbits. Histological analyses, µCT scans, and SEM/EDX were performed. The scaffolds showed slow volume decreases (week 36 p400: 9.9%; p500: 7.5%), which were accompanied by uncritical gas releases. In contrast, ß-TCP showed accelerated resorption (78.5%) and significantly more new bone inside (18.19 ± 1.47 mm3). Bone fragments grew into p400 (0.17 ± 0.19 mm3) and p500 (0.36 ± 0.26 mm3), reaching the centrally located pores within p500 more frequently. In particular, p400 displayed a more uneven and progressively larger surface area (week 36 p400: 253.22 ± 19.44; p500: 219.19 ± 4.76 mm2). A better osseointegration of p500 was indicated by significantly more trabecular contacts and a 200 µm wide bone matrix being in the process of mineralization and in permanent contact with the scaffold. The number of macrophages and foreign body giant cells were at an acceptable level concerning resorbable biomaterials. In terms of ingrown bone and integrative properties, LAE442 scaffolds could not achieve the results of ß-TCP. In this long-term study, p500 appears to be a biocompatible and more osteoconductive pore size for the Mg alloy LAE442.

Abstract
While spinal interbody cage options have proliferated in the past decade, relatively little work has been done to explore the comparative potential of biomaterial technologies in promoting stable fusion. Innovations such as micro-etching and nano-architectural designs have shown purported benefits in in vitro studies, but lack clinical data describing their optimal implementation. Here, we critically assess the pre-clinical data supportive of various commercially available interbody cage biomaterial, topographical, and structural designs. We describe in detail the osteointegrative and osteoconductive benefits conferred by these modifications with a focus on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium (Ti) interbody implants. Further, we describe the rationale and design for two randomized controlled trials, which aim to address the paucity of clinical data available by comparing interbody fusion outcomes between either PEEK or activated Ti lumbar interbody cages. Utilizing dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), these studies will evaluate the relative implant-bone integration and fusion rates achieved by either micro-etched Ti or standard PEEK interbody devices. Taken together, greater understanding of the relative osseointegration profile at the implant-bone interface of cages with distinct topographies will be crucial in guiding the rational design of further studies and innovations.

Corrosion Resistance and Surface Bioactivity of Ti6Al4V Alloy after Finish Turning under Ecological Cutting Conditions. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14226917.

Abstract
The influence of cooling conditions and surface topography after finish turning of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy on corrosion resistance and surface bioactivity was analyzed. The samples were machined under dry and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) conditions to obtain different surface roughness. The surface topographies of the processed samples were assessed and measured using an optical profilometer. The produced samples were subjected to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential tests (Ecorr) in the presence of simulated body fluid (SBF). The surface bioactivity of the samples was assessed on the basis of images from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The inspection of the surfaces of samples after turning under dry and MQL conditions revealed unevenly distributed precipitation of hydroxyapatite compounds (Ca/P) with a molar ratio in the range of 1.73-1.97. Regardless of the cutting conditions and surface roughness, the highest values of Ecorr ~0 mV were recorded on day 7 of immersion in the SBF solution. The impedance characteristics showed that, compared to the MQL conditions, surfaces machined under dry conditions were characterized by greater resistance and the presence of a passive layer on the processed surface. The main novelty of the paper is the study of the effect of ecological machining conditions, namely, dry and MQL cutting on the corrosion resistance and surface bioactivity of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy after finish turning. The obtained research results have practical significance. They can be used by engineers during the development of technological processes for medical devices made of Ti6Al4V alloy to obtain favorable functional properties of these devices.

Abstract
Fabricating polymeric scaffolds using cost-effective manufacturing processes is still challenging. Gas foaming techniques using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) have attracted attention for producing synthetic polymer matrices; however, the high-pressure requirements are often a technological barrier for its widespread use. Compressed 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, known as Freon R134a, offers advantages over CO2 in manufacturing processes in terms of lower pressure and temperature conditions and the use of low-cost equipment. Here, we report for the first time the use of Freon R134a for generating porous polymer matrices, specifically polylactide (PLA). PLA scaffolds processed with Freon R134a exhibited larger pore sizes, and total porosity, and appropriate mechanical properties compared with those achieved by scCO2 processing. PLGA scaffolds processed with Freon R134a were highly porous and showed a relatively fragile structure. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) attached to PLA scaffolds processed with Freon R134a, and their metabolic activity increased during culturing. In addition, MSCs displayed spread morphology on the PLA scaffolds processed with Freon R134a, with a well-organized actin cytoskeleton and a dense matrix of fibronectin fibrils. Functionalization of Freon R134a-processed PLA scaffolds with protein nanoparticles, used as bioactive factors, enhanced the scaffolds' cytocompatibility. These findings indicate that gas foaming using compressed Freon R134a could represent a cost-effective and environmentally friendly fabrication technology to produce polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering approaches.

Abstract
The emerging role of porous tantalum (Ta) scaffold for bone tissue engineering is noticed due to its outstanding biological properties. However, it is controversial which pore size and porosity are more conducive for bone defect repair. In the present work, porous tantalum scaffolds with pore sizes of 100-200, 200-400, 400-600 and 600-800 μm and corresponding porosities of 25%, 55%, 75%, and 85% were constructed, using computer aided design and 3D printing technologies, then comprehensively studied by in vitro and in vivo studies. We found that Ta scaffold with pore size of 400-600 μm showed stronger ability in facilitating cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation in vitro. In vivo tests identified that porous tantalum scaffolds with pore size of 400-600 μm showed better performance of bone ingrowth and integration. In mechanism, computational fluid dynamics analysis proved porous tantalum scaffolds with pore size of 400-600 μm hold appropriate permeability and surface area, which facilitated cell adhesion and proliferation. Our results strongly indicate that pore size and porosity are essential for further applications of porous tantalum scaffolds, and porous tantalum scaffolds with pore size 400-600 μm are conducive to osteogenesis and osseointegration. These findings provide new evidence for further application of porous tantalum scaffolds for bone defect repair.

Abstract
To find out the optimal porosity and pore size of porous titanium (Ti) regarding the cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation. Six groups of porous Ti samples with different porosities and pore sizes were fabricated by the powder metallurgy process. The microstructure and compressive mechanical properties were characterized. The cytocompatibility was examined by a series of biological tests as protein absorption with BCA assay kit, cell attachment with laser scanning confocal microscopy and vinculin expression, cell proliferation with CCK-8 assay. Cell differentiation and calcification were detected by qPCR and Alizarin Red S dying respectively. Pores distributed homogeneously throughout the porous Ti samples. The compressive test results showed that Young's modulus ranged from 2.80 ± 0.03 GPa to 5.43 ± 0.34 GPa and the compressive strength increased from 112.4 ± 3.6 MPa to 231.1 ± 9.4 MPa. Porous Ti with high porosity (53.3 ± 1.2%) and small pore size (191.6 ± 3.7 μm) adsorbed more proteins. More MC3T3-E1 cells adhered onto dense Ti samples than onto any other porous ones already after culture and no difference was identified within the porous groups. The porous structure of porous Ti with a porosity of 53.3 ± 1.2% and an average pore size of 191.6 ± 3.7 μm facilitated cell differentiation and calcification. Small pores were not beneficial to the osteo-initiation at the very beginning. Porous Ti with a porosity of 53.3 ± 1.2% and an average pore size of 191.6 ± 3.7 μm fabricated by powder metallurgy process showed the expected mechanical property and improved osseointegration as implants in dental treatment.

Abstract
Short and long-term stabilities of cementless implants are strongly determined by the interfacial load transfer between implants and bone tissue. Stress-shielding effects arise from shear stresses due to the difference of material properties between bone and the implant. It remains difficult to measure the stress field in periprosthetic bone tissue. This study proposes to investigate the dependence of the stress field in periprosthetic bone tissue on (i) the implant surface roughness, (ii) the material properties of bone and of the implant, (iii) the bone-implant contact ratio. To do so, a microscale two-dimensional finite element model of an osseointegrated bone-implant interface was developed where the surface roughness was modeled by a sinusoidal surface. The results show that the isostatic pressure is not affected by the presence of the bone-implant interface while shear stresses arise due to the combined effects of a geometrical singularity (for low surface roughness) and of shear stresses at the bone-implant interface (for high surface roughness). Stress-shielding effects are likely to be more important when the bone-implant contact ratio value is low, which corresponds to a case of relatively low implant stability. Shear stress reach a maximum value at a distance from the interface comprised between 0 and 0.1 time roughness wavelength λ and tend to 0 at a distance from the implant surface higher than λ, independently from bone-implant contact ratio and waviness ratio. A comparison with an analytical model allows validating the numerical results. Future work should use the present approach to model osseointegration phenomena.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections (IAIs) are among the most intractable and costly complications in implant surgery. They can lead to surgery failure, a high economic burden, and a decrease in patient quality of life. This manuscript is devoted to introducing current antimicrobial strategies for additively manufactured (AM) titanium (Ti) implants and fostering a better understanding in order to pave the way for potential modern high-throughput technologies. Most bactericidal strategies rely on implant structure design and surface modification. By means of rational structural design, the performance of AM Ti implants can be improved by maintaining a favorable balance between the mechanical, osteogenic, and antibacterial properties. This subject becomes even more important when working with complex geometries; therefore, it is necessary to select appropriate surface modification techniques, including both topological and chemical modification. Antibacterial active metal and antibiotic coatings are among the most commonly used chemical modifications in AM Ti implants. These surface modifications can successfully inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and bacterial apoptosis, leading to improved antibacterial properties. As a result of certain issues such as drug resistance and cytotoxicity, the development of novel and alternative antimicrobial strategies is urgently required. In this regard, the present review paper provides insights into the enhancement of bactericidal properties in AM Ti implants.

Abstract
Scaffolds prepared by 3D printing are increasingly used in the field of bone tissue repair. However, on traditional 3D printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds, cells can only grow on the fiber surface and form bone. We designed a scaffold with a cross-scale structure of PCL/β-TCP, which contains thick fibers with a diameter of 500 μm printed by FDM. And in the pores of the coarse fiber, the ultra-high precision fine fiber grid with a diameter of about 10 μm is filled by MEW mode. In cell experiments, cells can not only grow on the thick fiber surface of the cross-scale scaffold. At the same time, the mesh structure of fine fibers provides a bridge for cell growth, allowing cells to pass through the pores of thick fibers and grow in the pores and gradually cover the pores of the scaffold. In the osteoinduction experiment, β-TCP in the PCL/β-TCP composite provides Ca2+ and PO43- to the scaffold, which effectively promotes the osteogenic differentiation of cells on the scaffold. Compared with traditional scaffolds, the osteogenic performance of cross-scale scaffolds is greatly improved. Not only did bone form on the surface of the scaffold, but also obvious ALP expression and effective calcium precipitation appeared in the pores of the scaffold. This can effectively speed up the repair of bone defects. We believe that the 3D printed PCL/β-TCP cross-scale scaffold with high-precision fibers has great application prospects in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
NiTi alloy has a wide range of applications as a biomaterial due to its high ductility, low corrosion rate, and favorable biocompatibility. Although Young’s modulus of NiTi is relatively low, it still needs to be reduced; one of the promising ways is by introducing porous structure. Traditional manufacturing processes, such as casting, can hardly produce complex porous structures. Additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies that can solve impurity issues, and selective laser melting (SLM) is one of the well-known methods. This paper reviews the developments of AM-NiTi with a particular focus on SLM-NiTi utilization in biomedical applications. Correspondingly, this paper aims to describe the three key factors, including powder preparation, processing parameters, and gas atmosphere during the overall process of porous NiTi. The porous structure design is of vital importance, so the unit cell and pore parameters are discussed. The mechanical properties of SLM-NiTi, such as hardness, compressive strength, tensile strength, fatigue behavior, and damping properties and their relationship with design parameters are summarized. In the end, it points out the current challenges. Considering the increasing application of NiTi implants, this review paper may open new frontiers for advanced and modern designs.

Abstract
A flexible and bioactive scaffold for adipose tissue engineering was fabricated and evaluated by dual nozzle three-dimensional printing. A highly elastic poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) copolymer, which acted as the main scaffolding, and human adipose tissue derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels were used as the printing inks to form the scaffolds. To prepare the three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds, the PLCL co-polymer was printed with a hot melting extruder system while retaining its physical character, similar to adipose tissue, which is beneficial for regeneration. Moreover, to promote adipogenic differentiation and angiogenesis, adipose tissue-derived dECM was used. To optimize the printability of the hydrogel inks, a mixture of collagen type I and dECM hydrogels was used. Furthermore, we examined the adipose tissue formation and angiogenesis of the PLCL/dECM complex scaffold. From in vivo experiments, it was observed that the matured adipose-like tissue structures were abundant, and the number of matured capillaries was remarkably higher in the hydrogel–PLCL group than in the PLCL-only group. Moreover, a higher expression of M2 macrophages, which are known to be involved in the remodeling and regeneration of tissues, was detected in the hydrogel–PLCL group by immunofluorescence analysis. Based on these results, we suggest that our PLCL/dECM fabricated by a dual 3D printing system will be useful for the treatment of large volume fat tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Laser surface texturing is widely explored for modifying the surface topography of various materials and thereby tuning their optical, tribological, biological, and other surface properties. In dentistry, improved osseointegration has been observed with laser textured titanium dental implants in clinical trials. Due to several limitations of titanium materials, dental implants made of zirconia-based ceramics are now considered as one of the best alternatives. Laser surface texturing of zirconia dental implants is therefore attracting increasing attention. However, due to the brittle nature of zirconia, as well as the metastable tetragonal ZrO2 phase, laser texturing in the case of zirconia is more challenging than in the case of titanium. Understanding these challenges requires different fields of expertise, including laser engineering, materials science, and dentistry. Even though much progress was made within each field of expertise, a comprehensive analysis of all the related factors is still missing. This review paper provides thus an overview of the common challenges and current status on the use of lasers for surface texturing of zirconia-based ceramics for dental applications, including texturing of zirconia implants for improving osseointegration, texturing of zirconia abutments for reducing peri-implant inflammation, and texturing of zirconia restorations for improving restoration retention by bonding.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel systems integrating different types of stem cells and scaffolding biomaterials have an important application in tissue engineering. The biomimetic hydrogels that pattern cell suspensions within 3D configurations of biomaterial networks allow for the transport of bioactive factors and mimic the stem cell niche in vivo, thereby supporting the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. The composition of a 3D hydrogel system determines the physical and chemical characteristics that regulate stem cell function through a biological mechanism. Here, we discuss the natural and synthetic hydrogel compositions that have been employed in 3D scaffolding, focusing on their characteristics, fabrication, biocompatibility, and regulatory effects on stem cell proliferation and differentiation. We also discuss the regulatory mechanisms of cell-matrix interaction and cell-cell interaction in stem cell activities in various types of 3D hydrogel systems. Understanding hydrogel compositions and their cellular mechanisms can yield insights into how scaffolding biomaterials and stem cells interact and can lead to the development of novel hydrogel systems of stem cells in tissue engineering and stem cell-based regenerative medicine. Impact statement Three-dimensional hydrogel system of stem cell mimicking the stemcell niche holds significant promise in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Exactly how hydrogel composition regulates stem cell fate is not well understood. This review focuses on the composition of hydrogel, and how the hydrogel composition and its properties regulate the stem cell adhesion, growth, and differentiation. We propose that cell-matrix interaction and cell-cell interaction are important regulatory mechanisms in stem cell activities. Our review provides key insights into how the hydrogel composition regulates the stem cell fate, untangling the engineering of three-dimensional hydrogel systems for stem cells.

Abstract
The interplay between a prosthetic and tissue represents an important factor for the fixation of orthopedic implants. Laser texturing tests and electropolishing were performed on two materials used in the fabrication of medical devices, i.e., CoCr and Ti6Al4V-ELI alloys. The material surface was textured with a diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser and its effect on the surface quality and material modification, under different combinations of laser power and marking speed, were investigated. Our results indicate that an increment of energy per unit length causes an incremental trend in surface roughness parameters. Additionally, phase transformation on the surface of both alloys was achieved. Chemical analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) shows the formation of (Co(Cr,Mo)) phase and the M23C6 precipitate on the CoCr surface; while quantitative analysis of the X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results demonstrates the oxidation of the Ti alloy with the formation of Ti2O and Ti6O from the reduction of the α-Ti phase. The behaviors were both related with an increase of the energy per unit length. Control of the final surface roughness was achieved by an electropolishing post-treatment, minimizing the as-treated values. After polishing, a reduction of surface roughness parameters was obtained in a range between 3% and 44%, while no changes in chemical composition or present phases were observed.

Abstract
Titanium alloy prostheses have been widely used for the treatment of orthopedic diseases, in which the interconnected porosity and appropriate pore size are crucial for the osseointegration capacity. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology provides an efficient method to construct prosthesis scaffolds with controllable internal and surface structure, but printing high-porosity (>60%) scaffolds with pore diameters below 300 μm as implants structures has not yet been studied. In this work, four types of titanium alloy scaffolds with interconnected porosity more than 70% were successfully prepared by selective laser melting (SLM). The actual mean pore sizes of cylindrical scaffolds are 542, 366, 202, and 134 μm. Through the in vitro characterization of the scaffolds, in vivo experiments, and mechanical experiments, it is concluded that as the scaffold pore diameter decreases, the titanium alloy scaffold with diameter of 202 μm has the strongest osseointegration ability and is also the most stable one with the surrounding bone. These findings provide a reference for the clinical pore-size design of porous scaffolds with optimal bone growth stability on the surface of the titanium alloy implant.

Enhancement of Bone Ingrowth into a Porous Titanium Structure to Improve Osseointegration of Dental Implants: A Pilot Study in the Canine Model. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13143061. [PMID: 32650581 PMCID: PMC7412235 DOI: 10.3390/ma13143061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
A porous titanium structure was suggested to improve implant stability in the early healing period or in poor bone quality. This study investigated the effect of a porous structure on the osseointegration of dental implants. A total of 28 implants (14 implants in each group) were placed in the posterior mandibles of four beagle dogs at 3 months after extraction. The control group included machined surface implants with an external implant–abutment connection, whereas test group implants had a porous titanium structure added to the apical portion. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA); removal torque values (RTV); and surface topographic and histometric parameters including bone-to-implant contact length and ratio, inter-thread bone area and ratio in total, and the coronal and apical parts of the implants were measured after 4 weeks of healing. RTV showed a significant difference between the groups after 4 weeks of healing (p = 0.032), whereas no difference was observed in RFA. In the test group, surface topography showed bone tissue integrated into the porous structures. In the apical part of the test group, all the histometric parameters exhibited significant increases compared to the control group. Within the limitations of this study, enhanced bone growth into the porous structure was achieved, which consequently improved osseointegration of the implant.

Abstract
Femtosecond laser texturing is a promising surface functionalization technology to improve the integration and durability of dental and orthopedic implants. Four different surface topographies were obtained on titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium plates by varying laser processing parameters and strategies: surfaces presenting nanostructures such as laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and ‘spikes’, associated or not with more complex multiscale geometries combining micro-pits, nanostructures and stretches of polished areas. After sterilization by heat treatment, LIPSS and spikes were characterized to be highly hydrophobic, whereas the original polished surfaces remained hydrophilic. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) grown on simple nanostructured surfaces were found to spread less with an increased motility (velocity, acceleration, tortuosity), while on the complex surfaces, hMSCs decreased their migration when approaching the micro-pits and preferentially positioned their nucleus inside them. Moreover, focal adhesions of hMSCs were notably located on polished zones rather than on neighboring nanostructured areas where the protein adsorption was lower. All these observations indicated that hMSCs were spatially controlled and mechanically strained by the laser-induced topographies. The nanoscale structures influence surface wettability and protein adsorption and thus influence focal adhesions formation and finally induce shape-based mechanical constraints on cells, known to promote osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE)-based bone grafts are favorable alternatives to autografts and allografts. Both biochemical properties and the architectural features of TE scaffolds are crucial in their design process. Synthetic polymers are attractive biomaterials to be used in the manufacturing of TE scaffolds, due to various advantages, such as being relatively inexpensive, enabling precise reproducibility, possessing tunable mechanical/chemical properties, and ease of processing. However, such scaffolds need modifications to improve their limited interaction with biological tissues. Structurally, multiscale porosity is advantageous over single-scale porosity; therefore, in this study, we have considered two key points in the design of a bone repair material; (i) manufacture of multiscale porous scaffolds made of photocurable polycaprolactone (PCL) by a combination of emulsion templating and three-dimensional (3D) printing and (ii) decoration of these scaffolds with the in vitro generated bone-like extracellular matrix (ECM) to create biohybrid scaffolds that have improved biological performance compared to PCL-only scaffolds. Multiscale porous scaffolds were fabricated, bone cells were cultured on them, and then they were decellularized. The biological performance of these constructs was tested in vitro and in vivo. Mesenchymal progenitors were seeded on PCL-only and biohybrid scaffolds. Cells not only showed improved attachment on biohybrid scaffolds but also exhibited a significantly higher rate of cell growth and osteogenic activity. The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay was used to explore the angiogenic potential of the biohybrid scaffolds. The CAM assay indicated that the presence of the in vitro generated ECM on polymeric scaffolds resulted in higher angiogenic potential and a high degree of tissue infiltration. This study demonstrated that multiscale porous biohybrid scaffolds present a promising approach to improve bioactivity, encourage precursors to differentiate into mature bones, and to induce angiogenesis.

Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional (3D) biopolymeric scaffolds made from collagen, silk fibroin and chitosan were successfully prepared by the freeze drying method. Dialdehyde starch (DAS) was used as a cross-linking agent for the materials. The properties of the materials were studied using density and porosity measurements, scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, swelling and moisture content measurements. Additionally, cytocompatibility of the materials in contact with MG-63 osteoblast-like cells was tested by live/dead staining and resazurin reduction assay on days 1, 3 and 7. It was found that new 3D materials made from collagen/silk fibroin/chitosan binary or ternary mixtures are hydrophilic with a high swelling ability (swelling rate in the range of 1680–1900%). Cross-linking of such biopolymeric materials with DAS increased swelling rate up to about 2100%, reduced porosity from 96–97% to 91–93%, and also decreased density and moisture content of the materials. Interestingly, presence of DAS did not influence the microstructure of the scaffolds as compared to non-cross-linked samples as shown by SEM. All the tested samples were found to be cytocompatible and supported adhesion and growth of MG-63 cells as shown by live–dead staining and metabolic activity test.

Abstract
Background The surgical success of cementless implants is determined by the evolution of the biomechanical properties of the bone–implant interface (BII). One difficulty to model the biomechanical behavior of the BII comes from the implant surface roughness and from the partial contact between bone tissue and the implant. The determination of the constitutive law of the BII would be of interest in the context of implant finite element (FE) modeling to take into account the imperfect characteristics of the BII. The aim of the present study is to determine an effective contact stiffness \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
A broad range of synthetic trabecular-like metallic lattices are 3D printed, to study the extra design freedom conferred by this new manufacturing process. The aim is to propose new conceptual types of implant structures for superior bio-mechanical matching and osseo-integration: synthetic bone. The target designs are 3D printed in Ti-6Al-4V alloy using a laser-bed process. Systematic evaluation is then carried out: (i) their accuracy is characterised at high spatial resolution using computed X-ray tomography, to assess manufacturing robustness with respect to the original geometrical design intent and (ii) the mechanical properties - stiffness and strength - are experimentally measured, evaluated, and compared. Finally, this new knowledge is synthesised in a conceptual framework to allow the construction of so-called implant design maps, to define the processing conditions of bone tailored substitutes, with focus on spine fusion devices. The design criteria emphasise the bone stiffness-matching, preferred range of pore structure for bone in-growth, manufacturability of the device and choice of inherent materials properties which are needed for durable implants. Examples of the use of such maps are given with focus on spine fusion devices, emphasising the stiffness-matching, osseo-integration properties and choice of inherent materials properties which are needed for durable implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We present a conceptual bio-engineering design methodology for new biomedical lattices produced by additive manufacturing, which addresses some of the critical points in currently existing porous implant materials. Amongst others: (i) feasibility and accuracy of manufacturing, (ii) design to the elastic properties of bone, and (iii) sensible pores sizes for osseointegration. This has inspired new and novel geometrical latticed designs which aim at improving the properties of intervertebral fusion devices. In their fundamental form, these structures are here fabricated and tested. When integrated into medical devices, these concepts could offer superior medical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an ideal new graft material, porous tantalum (pTa) has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and has received increased attention in the biomedical field because of its excellent cytocompatibility and ability to induce bone formation. However, the molecular mechanism of its potential to promote osteogenesis remains unclear, and very few reports have been published on this topic. METHODS In this study, we first produced porous Ti6Al4V (pTi6Al4V) and pTa with the same pore size by three-dimensional printing combined with chemical vapour deposition. The number of adhesions between pTa and pTi6Al4V and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after 1 day of culture was detected by the live/dead cell staining method. The proliferation activity of the two groups was determined after culture for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days by the cell counting kit-8 method. In addition, the osteogenic activity, mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osterix (OSX), collagen-I (Col-I), osteonectin (OSN) and osteocalcin (OCN) and protein expression levels of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signalling pathway marker p-ERK of the two groups cultured for 7, 14 and 21 days were determined by the ALP activity assay, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Subsequently, the two groups were treated with the MAPK/ERK-specific inhibitor U0126, and then, the mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes and protein expression levels of p-ERK in the cultures were determined by Q-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS The live/dead cell staining and cell counting kit-8 assays showed that the adhesion and proliferation activities of BMSCs on pTa were significantly better than those on pTi6Al4V. In addition, the ALP activity assay and Q-PCR showed that pTa harboured osteogenic activity and that the osteogenic genes ALP, OSX, Col-I, OSN and OCN were highly expressed, and by Western blotting, the expression of p-ERK protein in the pTa group was also significantly higher than that in the pTi6Al4V group. Subsequently, using the MAPK/ERK-specific inhibitor U0126, Western blotting showed that the expression of p-ERK protein was significantly inhibited and that there was no difference between the two groups. Furthermore, Q-PCR showed that osteogenic gene expression and ALP expression levels were significantly increased in the pTa group, and there were no differences in the OSX, Col-I, OSN and OCN mRNA expression levels between the two groups. CONCLUSION Overall, our research found that compared with the widely used titanium alloy materials, our pTa can promote the adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs, and the molecular mechanism of pTa may occur via activation of the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway to regulate the high expression of OSX, Col I, OSN and OCN osteogenic genes and promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. The translational potential of this article : Our self-developed pTa material produced by three-dimensional printing combined with the chemical vapour deposition method not only retains excellent biological activity and osteoinductive ability of the original tantalum metal but also saves considerably on material costs to achieve mass production of personalised orthopaedic implants with pTa as a stent and to accelerate the wide application of pTa implants in clinical practice, which have certain profound significance.

Porous Titanium for Biomedical Applications: Evaluation of the Conventional Powder Metallurgy Frontier and Space-Holder Technique. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are reference materials in biomedical applications because of their desirable properties. However, one of the most important concerns in long-term prostheses is bone resorption as a result of the stress-shielding phenomena. Development of porous titanium for implants with a low Young’s modulus has accomplished increasing scientific and technological attention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the viability, industrial implementation and potential technology transfer of different powder-metallurgy techniques to obtain porous titanium with stiffness values similar to that exhibited by cortical bone. Porous samples of commercial pure titanium grade-4 were obtained by following both conventional powder metallurgy (PM) and space-holder technique. The conventional PM frontier (Loose-Sintering) was evaluated. Additionally, the technical feasibility of two different space holders (NH4HCO3 and NaCl) was investigated. The microstructural and mechanical properties were assessed. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of titanium porous structures with porosities of 40% were studied by Finite Element Method (FEM) and compared with the experimental results. Some important findings are: (i) the optimal parameters for processing routes used to obtain low Young’s modulus values, retaining suitable mechanical strength; (ii) better mechanical response was obtained by using NH4HCO3 as space holder; and (iii) Ti matrix hardening when the interconnected porosity was 36–45% of total porosity. Finally, the advantages and limitations of the PM techniques employed, towards an industrial implementation, were discussed.

[PMID: 30445157 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 156] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2018] [Revised: 10/28/2018] [Accepted: 11/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Complex physical and chemical interactions take place in the interface between the implant surface and bone. Various descriptions of the ultrastructural arrangement to various implant design features, ranging from solid and macroporous geometries to surface modifications on the micron-, submicron-, and nano- levels, have been put forward. Here, the current knowledge regarding structural organisation of the bone-implant interface is reviewed with a focus on solid devices, mainly metal (or alloy) intended for permanent anchorage in bone. Certain biomaterials that undergo surface and bulk degradation are also considered. The bone-implant interface is a heterogeneous zone consisting of mineralised, partially mineralised, and unmineralised areas. Within the meso-micro-nano-continuum, mineralised collagen fibrils form the structural basis of the bone-implant interface, in addition to accumulation of non-collagenous macromolecules such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin. In the published literature, as many as eight distinct arrangements of the bone-implant interface ultrastructure have been described. The interpretation is influenced by the in vivo model and species-specific characteristics, healing time point(s), physico-chemical properties of the implant surface, implant geometry, sample preparation route(s) and associated artefacts, analytical technique(s) and their limitations, and non-compromised vs compromised local tissue conditions. The understanding of the ultrastructure of the interface under experimental conditions is rapidly evolving due to the introduction of novel techniques for sample preparation and analysis. Nevertheless, the current understanding of the interface zone in humans in relation to clinical implant performance is still hampered by the shortcomings of clinical methods for resolving the finer details of the bone-implant interface. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Being a hierarchical material by design, the overall strength of bone is governed by composition and structure. Understanding the structure of the bone-implant interface is essential in the development of novel bone repair materials and strategies, and their long-term success. Here, the current knowledge regarding the eventual structural organisation of the bone-implant interface is reviewed, with a focus on solid devices intended for permanent anchorage in bone, and certain biomaterials that undergo surface and bulk degradation. The bone-implant interface is a heterogeneous zone consisting of mineralised, partially mineralised, and unmineralised areas. Within the meso-micro-nano-continuum, mineralised collagen fibrils form the structural basis of the bone-implant interface, in addition to accumulation of non-collagenous macromolecules such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20020326. [PMID: 30650528 PMCID: PMC6359257 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20020326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2018] [Revised: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Repairing damaged articular cartilage is challenging due to the limited regenerative capacity of hyaline cartilage. In this study, we fabricated a bilayered poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold with small (200–300 μm) and large (200–500 μm) pores by salt leaching to stimulate chondrocyte differentiation, cartilage formation, and endochondral ossification. The scaffold surface was treated with tyramine to promote scaffold integration into native tissue. Porcine chondrocytes retained a round shape during differentiation when grown on the small pore size scaffold, and had a fibroblast-like morphology during transdifferentiation in the large pore size scaffold after five days of culture. Tyramine-treated scaffolds with mixed pore sizes seeded with chondrocytes were pressed into three-mm porcine osteochondral defects; tyramine treatment enhanced the adhesion of the small pore size scaffold to osteochondral tissue and increased glycosaminoglycan and collagen type II (Col II) contents, while reducing collagen type X (Col X) production in the cartilage layer. Col X content was higher for scaffolds with a large pore size, which was accompanied by the enhanced generation of subchondral bone. Thus, chondrocytes seeded in tyramine-treated bilayered scaffolds with small and large pores in the upper and lower parts, respectively, can promote osteochondral regeneration and integration for articular cartilage repair.

Abstract
In this work, Ti—Mg metal-metal composites (MMCs) were successfully fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). In vitro, the proliferation and differentiation of SaOS-2 cells in response to Ti—Mg metal-metal composites (MMCs) were investigated. In vivo, a rat model with femur condyle defect was employed, and Ti—Mg MMCs implants were embedded into the femur condyles. Results showed that Ti—Mg MMCs exhibited enhanced cytocompatibility to SaOS-2 cells than pure Ti. The micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) results showed that the volume of bone trabecula was significantly more abundant around Ti—Mg implants than around Ti implants, indicating that more active new-bone formed around Ti—Mg MMCs implants. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining analysis revealed significantly greater osteointegration around Ti—Mg implants than that around Ti implants. Bioactive Ti—Mg metal-metal composites (MMCs) were successfully fabricated by spark plasma sintering. The proliferation and ALP activity of SaOS-2 cells were promoted by Ti—Mg MMCs extraction medium. In vivo results showed that Ti—Mg MMCs exhibited enhanced osseointegration compared to pure Ti.

Abstract
The surfaces of silicon nitride (β-Si3N4) and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) were patterned using a high-energy laser source, which operated at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The patterning procedure yielded a series regular, cylindrical cavities 500 and 300 μm in diameter and depth, respectively. These cavities were subsequently filled with bioglass mixed with different fractions of Si3N4 powder (0, 5, and 10 mol.%) to obtain bioactive functionalized bioceramic surfaces. The laser-patterned samples were first characterized using several spectroscopic techniques before and after functionalization, and then tested in vitro with respect to their osteoconductivity using a human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS-2). After in vitro testing, fluorescence microscopy was used to address the biological response and to estimate osteopontin and osteocalcin protein contents and distributions. The presence of bioglass greatly enhanced the biological response of both ceramic surfaces, but mainly induced production of inorganic apatite. On the other hand, the addition of minor fraction of Si3N4 into the bioglass-filled holes greatly enhanced bio-mineralization and stimulated the SaOS-2 cells to produce higher amounts of bone extracellular matrix (collagen and proteins), thus enhancing the osteopontin to osteocalcin ratio. It was also observed that the presence of a fraction of Si3N4 in the powder mixture filling the holes bestowed more uniform cell colonization on the otherwise bioinert ZTA surface.

Abstract
The properties of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, including their biocompatibility, highly interconnected porosity, and mechanical integrity, are critical for promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteoinduction. We used various physical and biological assays to obtain in vitro confirmation that the proposed composite scaffolds are potentially suitable for applications to bone tissue engineering. The proposed new composite scaffolds, which we fabricated by a rapid prototyping technique, were composed of mesoporous magnesium-calcium silicate (m_MCS), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polybutylene succinate (PBSu). We systematically evaluated the characteristics of the composite scaffolds, such as the hydrophilicity and bioactivity. We also investigated the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) scaffolded on the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu composite. Our results showed that, compared to the m_MCS/PCL scaffold, the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold has improved water absorption, in vitro degradability, biocompatibility, and bioactivity in simulated body fluid, while its mechanical strength is reduced. Moreover, the results of the cytotoxicity tests specified in ISO 10993-12 and ISO 10993-5 clearly indicate that the m_MCS/PCL scaffold is not toxic to cells. In addition, we obtained significant increases in initial cell attachment and improvements to the osteogenic MSC differentiation by replacing the m_MCS/PCL scaffold with the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold. Our results indicate that the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold achieves enhanced bioactivity, degradability, cytocompatibility, and osteogenesis. As such, this scaffold is a potentially promising candidate for use in stem cell-based bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The elaboration of biomimetic materials inspired from the specific structure of native bone is one the main goal of tissue engineering approaches. To offer the most appropriate environment for bone reconstruction, we combined electrospinning and electrospraying to elaborate an innovative scaffold composed of alternating layers of polycaprolactone (PCL) and hydroxyapatite (HA). In our approach, the electrospun PCL was shaped into a honeycomb-like structure with an inner diameter of 160 μm, capable of providing bone cells with a 3D environment while ensuring the material biomechanical strength. After 5 days of culture without any differentiation factor, the murine embryonic cell line demonstrated excellent cell viability on contact with the PCL-HA structures as well as active colonization of the scaffold. The cell differentiation, as tested by RT-qPCR, revealed a 6-fold increase in the expression of the RNA of the Bglap involved in bone mineralization as compared to a classical 2D culture. This differentiation of the cells into osteoblasts was confirmed by alkaline phosphatase staining of the scaffold cultivated with the cell lineage. Later on, organotypic cultures of embryonic bone tissues showed the high capacity of the PCL-HA honeycomb structure to guide the migration of differentiated bone cells throughout the cavities and the ridge of the biomaterial, with a colonization surface twice as big as that of the control. Taken together, our results indicate that PCL-HA honeycomb structures are biomimetic supports that promotes in vitro osteocompatibility, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction and could be suitable for being used for bone reconstruction in complex situations such as the repair of maxillofacial defects.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)/TiO 2 nanotube bioactive composite as a novel scaffold for bone tissue engineering: In vitro and in vivo studies. Biologicals 2018; 53:51-62.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize novel three-dimensional porous scaffolds made of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/TiO2 nanotube (TNT) composite microspheres for bone tissue engineering applications. The incorporation of TNT greatly increases mechanical properties of PLGA/TNT microsphere-sintered scaffold. The experimental results exhibit that the PLGA/0.5 wt% TNT scaffold sintered at 100 °C for 3 h showed the best mechanical properties and a proper pore structure for tissue engineering. Biodegradation test ascertained that the weight of both PLGA and PLGA/PLGA/0.5 wt% TiO2 nanotube composites slightly reduced during the first 4 weeks following immersion in SBF solution. Moreover, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP activity) results represent increased cell viability for PLGA/0.5%TNT composite scaffold in comparison to the control group. In vivo studies show the amount of bone formation for PLGA/TNT was approximately twice of pure PLGA. Vivid histologic images of the newly generated bone on the implants further supported our test results. Eventually, a mathematical model showed that both PLGA and PLGA/TNT scaffolds' mechanical properties follow an exponential trend with time as their degradation occurs. By a three-dimensional finite element model, a more monotonous distribution of stress was present in the scaffold due to the presence of TNT with a reduction in maximum stress on bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we aimed to assess whether gelatin/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composite porous scaffolds could be used as a local controlled release system for vancomycin. We also investigated the efficiency of the scaffolds in eliminating infections and repairing osteomyelitis defects in rabbits. METHODS The gelatin scaffolds containing differing amounts of of β-TCP (0%, 10%, 30% and 50%) were prepared for controlled release of vancomycin and were labelled G-TCP0, G-TCP1, G-TCP3 and G-TCP5, respectively. The Kirby-Bauer method was used to examine the release profile. Chronic osteomyelitis models of rabbits were established. After thorough debridement, the osteomyelitis defects were implanted with the scaffolds. Radiographs and histological examinations were carried out to investigate the efficiency of eliminating infections and repairing bone defects. RESULTS The prepared gelatin/β-TCP scaffolds exhibited a homogeneously interconnected 3D porous structure. The G-TCP0 scaffold exhibited the longest duration of vancomycin release with a release duration of eight weeks. With the increase of β-TCP contents, the release duration of the β-TCP-containing composite scaffolds was decreased. The complete release of vancomycin from the G-TCP5 scaffold was achieved within three weeks. In the treatment of osteomyelitis defects in rabbits, the G-TCP3 scaffold showed the most efficacious performance in eliminating infections and repairing bone defects. CONCLUSIONS The composite scaffolds could achieve local therapeutic drug levels over an extended duration. The G-TCP3 scaffold possessed the optimal porosity, interconnection and controlled release performance. Therefore, this scaffold could potentially be used in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis defects.Cite this article: J. Zhou, X. G. Zhou, J. W. Wang, H. Zhou, J. Dong.

Abstract
Cementless fixation for orthopedic implants aims to obviate challenges associated with bone cement, providing long-term stability of bone prostheses after implantation. The application of porous titanium and its alloy-based implants is emerging for load-bearing applications due to their high specific strength, low stiffness, corrosion resistance, and superior osteoconductivity. In this study, coagulant-assisted foaming was utilized for the fabrication of porous Ti6Al4 V using egg-white foam. Samples with three different porosities of 68.3%, 75.4%, and 83.1% and average pore sizes of 92, 178, and 297 μm, respectively, were prepared and subsequently characterized for mechanical properties, osteogenesis, and tissue ingrowth. A microstructure-mechanical properties relationship study revealed that an increase of porosity from 68.3 to 83.1% increased the average pore size from 92 to 297 μm with the subsequent reduction of compresive strength by 85% and modulus by 90%. Samples with 75.4% porosity and a 178 μm average pore size produced signifcant osteogenic effects on human mesenchymal stem cells, which was further supported by immunocytochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction data. Quantitative assessment of bone ingrowth by micro-computed tomography revealed that there was an approximately 52% higher bone formation and more than 90% higher bone penetration at the center of femoral defects in rabbit when implanted with Ti6Al4 V foam (75.4% porosity) compared to the empty defects after 12 weeks. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson trichrome (MT) staining along with energy-dispersive X-ray mapping on the sections obtained from the retrieved bone samples support bone ingrowth into the implanted region.
