[PMID: 38942189 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
A wide variety of microorganisms have been closely linked to metal corrosion in the form of adherent surface biofilms. Biofilms allow the development and maintenance of locally corrosive environments and/or permit direct corrosion including pitting corrosion. The presence of numerous genetically distinct microorganisms in the oral environment poses a threat to the integrity and durability of the surface of metallic prostheses and implants used in routine dentistry. However, the association between oral microorganisms and specific corrosion mechanisms is not clear. It is of practical importance to understand how microbial corrosion occurs and the associated risks to metallic materials in the oral environment. This knowledge is also important for researchers and clinicians who are increasingly concerned about the biological activity of the released corrosion products. Accordingly, the main goal was to comprehensively review the current literature regarding oral microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) including characteristics of biofilms and of the oral environment, MIC mechanisms, corrosion behavior in the presence of oral microorganisms and potentially mitigating technologies. Findings included that oral MIC has been ascribed mostly to aggressive metabolites secreted during microbial metabolism (metabolite-mediated MIC). However, from a thermodynamic point of view, extracellular electron transfer mechanisms (EET-MIC) through pili or electron transfer compounds cannot be ruled out. Various MIC mitigating methods have been demonstrated to be effective in short term, but long term evaluations are necessary before clinical applications can be considered. Currently most in-vitro studies fail to simulate the complexity of intraoral physiological conditions which may either reduce or exacerbate corrosion risk, which must be addressed in future studies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A thorough analysis on literature regarding oral MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion) of biomedical metallic materials has been carried out, including characteristics of oral environment, MIC mechanisms, corrosion behaviors in the presence of typical oral microorganisms and potential mitigating methods (materials design and surface design). There is currently a lack of mechanistic understanding of oral MIC which is very important not only to corrosion researchers but also to dentists and clinicians. This paper discusses the significance of biofilms from a biocorrosion perspective and summarizes several aspects of MIC mechanisms which could be caused by oral microorganisms. Oral MIC has been closely associated with not only the materials research but also the dental/clinical research fields in this work.

Abstract
Materials used for orthopedic implants should not only have physical properties close to those of bones, durability and biocompatibility, but should also exhibit a sufficient degree of antibacterial functionality. Due to its excellent properties, titanium is still a widely used material for production of orthopedic implants, but the unmodified material exhibits poor antibacterial activity. In this work, the physicochemical characteristics, such as chemical composition, crystallinity, wettability, roughness, and release of Ti ions of the titanium surface modified with nanotubular layers were analyzed and its antibacterial activity against two biofilm-forming bacterial strains responsible for prosthetic joint infection (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) was investigated. Electrochemical anodization (anodic oxidation) was used to prepare two types of nanotubular arrays with nanotubes differing in dimensions (with diameters of 73 and 118 nm and lengths of 572 and 343 nm, respectively). These two surface types showed similar chemistry, crystallinity, and surface energy. The surface with smaller nanotube diameter (TNT-73) but larger values of roughness parameters was more effective against S. aureus. For P. aeruginosa the sample with a larger nanotube diameter (TNT-118) had better antibacterial effect with proven cell lysis. Antibacterial properties of titanium nanotubular surfaces with potential in implantology, which in our previous work demonstrated a positive effect on the behavior of human gingival fibroblasts, were investigated in terms of surface parameters. The interplay between nanotube diameter and roughness appeared critical for the bacterial fate on nanotubular surfaces. The relationship of nanotube diameter, values of roughness parameters, and other surface properties to bacterial behavior is discussed in detail. The study is believed to shed more light on how nanotubular surface parameters and their interplay affect antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Implant dentistry has evolved to the point that standard implant osseointegration is predictable. This is attributed in part to the advancements in material sciences that have led toward improvements in implant surface technology and characteristics. Nonetheless, there remain several cases where implant therapy fails (specifically at early time points), most commonly attributed to factors affecting bone metabolism. Among these patients, smokers are known to have impaired bone metabolism and thus be subject to higher risks of early implant failure and/or late complications related to the stability of the peri-implant bone and mucosal tissues. Notably, however, emerging data have unveiled other critical factors affecting osseointegration, namely, those related to the metabolism of bone tissues. The aim of this review is to shed light on the effects of implant-related factors, like implant surface or titanium particle release; surgical-related factors, like osseodensification or implanted biomaterials; various drugs, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, anti-hypertensives, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, and statins, and host-related factors, like smoking, diet, and metabolic syndrome on bone metabolism, and aseptic peri-implant bone loss. Despite the infectious nature of peri-implant biological complications, these factors must be surveyed for the effective prevention and management of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Implants play a very crucial role in modern era of medicine and address several needs in all the medical specialties. Both essential and nonessential metals released from implants at high concentrations can impair biological functions and result in toxicity involving multiple systems of the body. Furthermore, the toxicity information is typically based on exposure through dietary intake and/or occupational/environmental exposure but, since the in vivo implant environment and its composition is different or unknown, individual implants toxic effects needs to be elaborated. Several clinical and nonclinical assessment tools are advised by FDA to evaluate biocompatibility issues, such as risk of immunological response, tissue destruction or overgrowth, and other adverse reactions. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Biocompatibility Guidelines state that biocompatibility end points caused by metallic implants includes cytotoxicity, sensitization, acute and chronic systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, implantation, hemocompatibility, reproductive abnormalities, developmental toxicity and biodegradation. Exposure to metal ions which acts as haptens can lead to both local and systemic hypersensitivity reactions which are generally believed to be a Type IV (delayed hypersensitivity) response. Currently, most assessment tools of implant associated hypersensitivity are based on skin sensitization which provides further scopes for research in understanding patient specific immune response causing systemic hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Background Titanium dental implants (e.g., Nobel Biocare, Switzerland) are routinely used as support for dental restoration. Titanium has been the material of choice due to its corrosion resistance and ability to integrate with bone. Nevertheless, corrosion and titanium dissolution do occur. Compared to control, peri-implantitis tissue biopsies have been shown to contain high concentrations of dissolved titanium as well as metal particles. Dissolved titanium species have been found to be associated with the structure/diversity of the subgingival plaque microbiome and the extent of global methylation. Of note, peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis are common biological complications of implant therapy. Microorganisms and local inflammation together with a gradient of oxygen have been proven to form an electrochemical fuel cell, which generates the current that flows through the body of the titanium implant. Effectively, the fuel cell reduces oxygen and oxidizes titanium that turns into a soluble form. We are proposing a new zirconia-titanium composite implant design whereby the electrical current is disrupted while other properties are still conducive to osseointegration. Methodology Biocompatible zirconia bolts were treated with hydrofluoric acid (HF) and coated with titanium in a vacuum evaporator. The coating was masked with nail polish, and unmasked areas were etched with HF followed by mask removal with a solvent. Microbial challenges were conducted with a volunteer's plaque. Regular implant (control) and the prototype were inserted into simulated peri-implant environments implemented as a fiberglass sleeve immersed into a growth medium. After a five-day growth, samples were taken and HNO3 digested. Dissolved titanium was evaluated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results Proof-of-concept implant prototypes were successfully created. Vacuum deposition results in reproducible stable titanium coating. The thickness of the titanium coating was estimated using atomic force microscopy. A microbial challenge revealed that compared to the commercial titanium implant, the new implant prototype showed decreased amounts of corrosion-leached titanium. Conclusions We demonstrate a path forward toward a new design of a dental implant, whereby corrosion-induced electrical currents are interrupted resulting in a decreased amount of dissolved titanium.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a substantially prevailing condition. A potential risk factor for peri-implantitis is Ti implant corrosion. During inflammation, substantial quantities of reactive oxygen species (ROS) secretion and local acidification occur. Little is known about the interaction between the inflammatory and corrosion products on Ti surface corrosion. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lactic acid, and Ti ions on Ti corrosion. Twenty-seven commercially pure Ti samples were polished (Ra ≈ 45 nm) and divided into 9 groups as a function of electrolyte: (1) artificial saliva (AS) as control (C), (2) AS + Ti ions 20 ppm (Ti), (3) AS + lactic acid (pH = 5.5) (L), (4) AS + lactic acid + Ti ions 20 ppm (TiL), (5) AS + H2O2 0.5 mM (HP0.5), (6) AS + H2O2 1.0 mM (HP1.0), (7) AS + H2O2 0.5 mM + Ti ions 20 ppm (HP0.5Ti), (8) AS + H2O2 0.5 mM + lactic acid (HP0.5L), and (9) AS + H2O2 0.5 mM + Ti ions 20 ppm + lactic acid (HP0.5TiL). Electrochemical tests were performed following ASMT guidelines. Based on Tafel's method, current density (icorr) and corresponding potential (Ecorr) were acquired from potentiodynamic curves. Using electrochemical intensity spectroscopy (EIS), Nyquist and Bode plots were derived. Using a modified Randles circuit, charge transfer resistance (Rct) and capacitance (Cdl) were estimated. Based on open-circuit potential data, groups C and Ti had the lowest potentials (around -0.3 and -0.4 V vs SCE, respectively), indicating a lower passivation tendency compared to the other groups. From potentiodynamic curves, groups HP0.5 and HP1.0 increased icorr the most. From EIS data, groups HP0.5 and HP1.0 demonstrated the lowest impedance and phase angle on the Bode plot, indicating the highest corrosion kinetics. Based on EIS modeling, the combination of Ti ions, lactic acid, and H2O2 (group HP0.5TiL) significantly decreased Rct (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the concurrent presence of Ti ions, lactic acid, and H2O2 in the vicinity of the Ti surface increased the corrosion kinetics. High corrosion may produce more Ti products in the peri-implant tissues, which may increase the potential risk of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Unlike orthopedic implants, dental implants require the orchestration of both osseointegration at the bone-implant interface and soft-tissue integration at the transmucosal region in a complex oral micro-environment with ubiquitous pathogenic bacteria. This represents a very challenging environment for early acceptance and long-term survival of dental implants, especially in compromised patient conditions, including aged, smoking and diabetic patients. Enabling advanced local therapy from the surface of titanium-based dental implants via novel nano-engineering strategies is emerging. This includes anodized nano-engineered implants eluting growth factors, antibiotics, therapeutic nanoparticles and biopolymers to achieve maximum localized therapeutic action. An important criterion is balancing bioactivity enhancement and therapy (like bactericidal efficacy) without causing cytotoxicity. Critical research gaps still need to be addressed to enable the clinical translation of these therapeutic dental implants. This review informs the latest developments, challenges and future directions in this domain to enable the successful fabrication of clinically-translatable therapeutic dental implants that would allow for long-term success, even in compromised patient conditions.

Abstract
Titanium is the ideal material for fabricating dental implants with favorable biocompatibility and biomechanics. However, the chemical corrosions arising from interaction with the surrounding tissues and fluids in oral cavity can challenge the integrity of Ti implants and leach Ti ions/nanoparticles, thereby causing cytotoxicity. Various nanoscale surface modifications have been performed to augment the chemical and electrochemical stability of Ti-based dental implants, and this review discusses and details these advances. For instance, depositing nanowires/nanoparticles via alkali-heat treatment and plasma spraying results in the fabrication of a nanostructured layer to reduce chemical corrosion. Further, refining the grain size to nanoscale could enhance Ti implants' mechanical and chemical stability by alleviating the internal strain and establishing a uniform TiO2 layer. More recently, electrochemical anodization (EA) has emerged as a promising method to fabricate controlled TiO2 nanostructures on Ti dental implants. These anodized implants enhance Ti implants' corrosion resistance and bioactivity. A particular focus of this review is to highlight critical advances in anodized Ti implants with nanotubes/nanopores for local drug delivery of potent therapeutics to augment osseo- and soft-tissue integration. This review aims to improve the understanding of novel nano-engineered Ti dental implant modifications, focusing on anodized nanostructures to fabricate the next generation of therapeutic and corrosion-resistant dental implants. The review explores the latest developments, clinical translation challenges, and future directions to assist in developing the next generation of dental implants that will survive long-term in the complex corrosive oral microenvironment.

Abstract
Although most Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains are commensal and abundant, certain pathogenic strains cause severe diseases from gastroenteritis to extraintestinal infections. Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) contains newborn meningitis E. coli (NMEC), uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC), and septicemic E. coli (SEPEC) based on their original host and clinical symptom. APEC is a heterogeneous group derived from human ExPEC. APEC causes severe respiratory and systemic diseases in a variety of avians, threatening the poultry industries, food security, and avian welfare worldwide. APEC has many serotypes, and it is a widespread pathogenic bacterium in poultry. In addition, ExPEC strains share significant genetic similarities and similar pathogenic mechanisms, indicating that APEC potentially serves as a reservoir of virulence and resistance genes for human ExPEC, and the virulence and resistance genes can be transferred to humans through food animals. Due to economic losses, drug resistance, and zoonotic potential, APEC has attracted heightened awareness. Various virulence factors and resistance genes involved in APEC pathogenesis and drug resistance have been identified. Here, we review the characteristics, epidemiology, pathogenic mechanism zoonotic potential, and drug resistance of APEC, and summarize the current status of diagnosis, alternative control measures, and vaccine development, which may help to have a better understanding of the pathogenesis and resistance of APEC, thereby reducing economic losses and preventing the spread of multidrug-resistant APEC to humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Titanium (Ti) is considered bioinert and is still regarded as the "gold standard" material for dental implants. However, even 'commercial pure' Ti will contain minor fractions of elemental impurities. Evidence demonstrating the release of Ti ions and particles from 'passive' implant surfaces is increasing and has been attributed to biocorrosion processes which may provoke immunological reactions. However, Ti observed in peri-implant tissues has been shown to be co-located with elements considered impurities in biomedical alloys. Accordingly, this study aimed to quantify the composition of impurities in commercial Ti dental implants. METHODS Fifteen commercial titanium dental implant systems were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). RESULTS The elemental composition of implants manufactured from commercially pure grades of Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, and the TiZr alloy (Roxolid) conformed to the respective ISO/ASTM standards or manufacturers´ data (TiZr/Roxolid). However, all implants investigated included exogenous metal contaminants including Ni, Cr, Sb, and Nb to a variable extent. Other contaminants detected in a fraction of implants included As and the radionuclides U-238 and Th-232. SIGNIFICANCE Although all Ti implant studies conformed with their standard compositions, potentially allergenic, noxious metals and even radionuclides were detected. Since there are differences in the degree of contamination between the implant systems, a certain impurity fraction seems technically avoidable. The clinical relevance of these findings must be further investigated, and an adaptation of industry standards should be discussed.

Deng C, Jiang M, Wang D, Yang Y, Trofimov V, Hu L, Han C. Microstructure and Superior Corrosion Resistance of an In-Situ Synthesized NiTi-Based Intermetallic Coating via Laser Melting Deposition. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12040705. [PMID: 35215033 PMCID: PMC8880572 DOI: 10.3390/nano12040705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
A nickel–titanium (NiTi)-based intermetallic coating was in-situ synthesized on a Ti–6Al–4V (TC4) substrate via laser melting deposition (LMD) using Ni–20Cr and TC4 powders. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, a digital microhardness tester and an electrochemical analyzer were used to evaluate the microstructure, Vicker’s microhardness and electrochemical corrosion resistance of the intermetallic coating. Results indicate that the microstructure of the intermetallic coating is composed of NiTi2, NiTi and Ni3Ti. The measured microhardness achieved is as high as ~850 HV0.2, ~2.5 times larger than that of the TC4 alloy, which can be attributed to the solid solution strengthening of Al and Cr, dispersion strengthening of the intermetallic compounds, and grain refinement strengthening from the rapid cooling of LMD. During the electrochemical corrosion of 3.5% NaCl solution, a large amount of Ti ions were released from the intermetallic coating surface and reacted with Cl− ions to form [TiCl6]2 with an increase in corrosion voltage. In further hydrolysis reactions, TiO2 formation occurred when the ratio of [TiCl6]2− reached a critical value. The in-situ synthesized intermetallic coating can achieve a superior corrosion resistance compared to that of the TC4 alloy.

Prestat M, Thierry D. Corrosion of titanium under simulated inflammation conditions: clinical context and in vitro investigations. Acta Biomater 2021; 136:72-87. [PMID: 34626820 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Titanium and alloys thereof are widely utilized for biomedical applications in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. The corrosion resistance and perceived biocompatibility of such materials are essentially related to the presence of a thin passive oxide layer on the surface. However, during inflammation phases, the immune system and its leukocytic cells generate highly aggressive molecules, such as hydrogen peroxide and radicals, that can significantly alter the passive film resulting in the degradation of the titanium implants. In combination with mechanical factors, this can lead to the release of metal ions, nanoparticles or microscaled debris in the surrounding tissues (which may sustain chronic inflammation), bring about relevant health issues and contribute to implant loss or failure. After briefly presenting the context of inflammation, this review article analyses the state-of-the-art knowledge of the in vitro corrosion of titanium, titanium alloys and coated titanium by reactive oxygen species and by living cells with an emphasis on electrochemical and microstructural aspects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inflammation involves the production of reactive oxygen species that are known to alter the passive layer protecting titanium implants against the aggressive environment of the human body. Inflammatory processes therefore contribute to the deterioration of biomedical devices. Although review articles on biomaterials for implant applications are regularly published in the literature, none has ever focused specifically on the topic of inflammation. After briefly recalling the clinical context, this review analyses the in vitro studies on titanium corrosion under simulated inflammation conditions from the pioneer works of the 80s and the 90s till the most recent investigations. It reports about the status of this research area for a multidisciplinary readership covering the fields of materials science, corrosion and implantology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review of the inflammatory elements in peri-implantitis (PI) and peri-implant mucositis (PM) in comparison with healthy peri-implant tissues (HI) and periodontal disease. DESIGN The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched up to December 2020. English articles that evaluated human soft tissue biopsies of PI or PM were included. Values reported for the surface area of the infiltrated connective tissue (ICT) were pooled using the random-effect model meta-analysis to estimate the mean (95% CI). RESULTS A total of 33 articles were included. Of 30 studies on PI, the majority evidenced significantly increased vascularization and inflammatory cell counts dominated by plasma cells in PI compared with HI. Studies that compared PI with chronic periodontitis primarily reported more severe inflammatory infiltrates in PI. This was confirmed by the meta-analysis results since the surface area of the ICT was significantly larger in PI (p < 0.001). Only seven studies analyzed the PM lesions and reported increased inflammatory infiltrates and vascularization in PM compared with HI. Based on the meta-analysis results, the surface area of the ICT was 3.00 [1.50, 4.51] mm 2 in PI and 0.23 [0.02, 0.44] mm 2 in PM lesions. Based on the available evidence, presence of foreign body particles considerably increased the inflammatory infiltrate; however, smoking did not have a significant effect. CONCLUSIONS There was controversy regarding the prevalence of various inflammatory cell types in peri-implant diseases; however, a considerably high ICT surface area in PI indicates the aggressive nature of the disease.

Abstract
Degradation of the implant surface and particle release/formation as an inflammation catalyst mechanism is an emerging concept in dental medicine that may help explain the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis. The aim of the present study was a synchrotron-based characterization of micro- and nanosized implant-related particles in inflamed human tissues around titanium and ceramic dental implants that exhibited signs of peri-implantitis. Size, distribution, and chemical speciation of the exogenous micro- and nanosized particle content were evaluated using synchrotron μ-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), nano-XRF, and μ-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES). Titanium particles, with variable speciation, were detected in all tissue sections associated with titanium implants. Ceramic particles were found in five out of eight tissue samples associated with ceramic implants. Particles ranged in size from micro- to nanoscale. The local density of both titanium and ceramic particles was calculated to be as high as ∼40 million particles/mm3. μ-XANES identified titanium in predominantly two different chemistries, including metallic and titanium dioxide (TiO2). The findings highlight the propensity for particle accumulation in the inflamed tissues around dental implants and will help in guiding toxicological studies to determine the biological significance of such exposures.

Abstract
Acid resistance (AR) is an indispensable mechanism for the survival of neutralophilic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains that survive in the gastrointestinal tract. E. coli acid tolerance has been extensively studied during past decades, with most studies focused on gene regulation and mechanisms. However, the role of cell membrane structure in the context of acid stress resistance has not been discussed in depth. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the roles and mechanisms of the E. coli cell envelope from different membrane components, such as membrane proteins, fatty acids, chaperones, and proton-consuming systems, and particularly focus on the innovative effects revealed by recent studies. We hope that the information guides us to understand the bacterial survival strategies under acid stress and to further explore the AR regulatory mechanisms to prevent or treat E. coli and other related Gram-negative bacteria infection, or to enhance the AR of engineering E. coli.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the corrosion resistance of galvanically coupled SLA and anodized implant surfaces with a Co‐Cr alloy. Materials and Methods Three groups were included in this study. The first (SLA) was composed of SLA implants (Institut Straumann, Basel, Switzerland), the second (ANO) of NobelReplace® (Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden), and the third (MIX) of both implant systems combined. All groups were assembled with a single Co‐Cr superstructure. Electrochemical testing included open‐circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and chronoamperometric current‐time measurements. The quantitative results (EOCP, ECORR, ICORR, EPROT, RP, and ICA) were statistically analyzed by one‐way ANOVA and Tukey's post‐hoc multiple comparison test (α = 0.05) Results All the aforementioned parameters showed statistically significant differences apart from ECORR and EPROT. The evaluation of qualitative and quantitative results showed that although SLA had higher corrosion resistance compared with ANO, it had less resistance to pitting corrosion. This means that SLA showed increased resistance to uniform corrosion but less resistance if pitting corrosion was initiated. In all cases, MIX showed intermediate behavior. Conclusion The corrosion resistance of implant‐retained superstructures is dependent on the electrochemical properties of the implants involved, and thus different degrees of intraoral corrosion resistance among different implant systems are anticipated.

Abstract
Modification of titanium (Ti) bone implant materials with hybrid organic-inorganic coatings is a novel promising approach to improve the osteoconductivity and osteointegration of implants and prevent their failure after implantation. However, in these coatings, which are mostly hydrophilic, chemically active moieties capable of releasing oxidizing ions can have a significant influence on the corrosion resistance of Ti, which is critical for the Ti implant osteointegration behavior. In this research, in order to study the dependence of the change of the corrosion behavior of Ti on the composition of the coating, Ti surfaces were modified with various coatings: organic (alginate hydrogel crosslinked with Ca2+ ions (Alg), and dextran sulfate (DS)), inorganic (porous calcium carbonate CaCO3), and composite organic-inorganic (Alg-CaCO3, DS-CaCO3). The morphology and composition of these materials before and after the corrosion experiment, performed in simulated body fluid (SBF), were followed by extensive characterization. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to study the corrosion behavior of the prepared materials in SBF. The characteristics obtained during the EIS measurements revealed the dependence of the variation of the corrosion resistance level on the composition of the coating. The bare Ti surface had the higher value of the total impedance compared with the modified surfaces, while the Ti surfaces modified with organic coatings demonstrated the best charge transfer resistance in comparison with the coatings containing the inorganic CaCO3 component and uncoated Ti.

Abstract
PURPOSE Titanium (Ti) is the key material used in dental implants because of its excellent biocompatibility. But wear and corrosion Ti particles had been widely reported to induce inflammation and promote bone absorption. However, little information is known about the damage of Ti particles on neurons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Trigeminal root ganglion (TRG) neurons were exposed to Ti particles (<5 μm). The electrophysiological properties of 2 main subtypes of voltage-gated potassium channels (VGPCs) (KA and KV) were examined by whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. RESULT With the presence of 0.25 mg/mL Ti particles, amplitudes of IK, A and IK, V were both obviously inhibited. For IK, A, the activation V1/2 shifted to the depolarizing direction with an increased k value, whereas the inactivation V1/2 showed obvious hyperdepolarizing shifts. For IK, V, 0.5 mg/mL Ti particles produced a depolarizing shift of activation V1/2 with a slower activation rate. No significant changes of its inactivation kinetics were found. CONCLUSION Titanium (Ti) particles might alter the electrophysiological properties of VGPCs on TRG neurons, which are likely to further influence the excitability of neurons.

Abstract
There are two main groups of screw-type dental implant designs: one-piece and two-piece implants. Although success rates of both of these types of implants are high, none of them avoid complications, of which the most common are peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Current clinical diagnostic parameters are relatively noninvasive and cost-efficient; however, they are often not sensitive enough and fail to determine the activity of inflammation. The purpose of this study is to determine pH of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) around one-piece and two-piece implants and pH of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) around healthy teeth and to find out if our suggested method could function accurately for determination of pH of PICF and GCF. Thermo Fisher Scientific™ Orion™ 9863BN glass microelectrode was used to determine pH of PICF around 29 one-piece (ROOTT, TRATE AG) and 29 two-piece implants (multiple manufacturers) and pH of GCF around 29 healthy teeth. pH of PICF around two-piece implants was more acidic (P < 0.001). Average pH around one-piece implants was 6.46 and around two-piece implants was 6.15. Mean pH of GCF was 6.64. pH of PICF in women around two-piece implants was more alkaline (P < 0.05); no difference was found in control and one-piece implant groups. There was no statistically significant correlation found between age and pH of PICF and GFC. Design of dental implants has an impact on pH of PICF. Glass microelectrode is an appropriate tool for accurate determination of pH in PICF.

Abstract
Background Titanium is a commonly used inert bio-implant material within the medical and dental fields. Although the use of titanium is thought to be safe with a high success rate, in some cases, there are rare reports of problems caused by titanium. In most of these problematic reports, only individual reports are dominant and comprehensive reporting has not been performed. This comprehensive article has been prepared to review the toxicity of titanium materials within the medical and dental fields. Methods We used online searching tools including MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar by combining keywords such as “titanium implant toxicity,” “titanium implant corrosion,” “titanium implant allergy,” and “yellow nail syndrome.” Recently updated data has been collected and compiled into one of four categories: “the toxicity of titanium,” “the toxicity of titanium alloys,” “the toxicity of titanium implants,” and “diseases related to titanium.” Results Recent studies with regard to titanium toxicity have been increasing and have now expanded to the medical field in addition to the fields of environmental research and basic science. Problems that may arise in titanium-based dental implants include the generation of titanium and titanium alloy particles and ions deposited into surrounding tissues due to the corrosion and wear of implants, resulting in bone loss due to inflammatory reactions, which may lead to osseointegration failure of the dental implant. These titanium ions and particles are systemically deposited and can lead to toxic reactions in other tissues such as yellow nail syndrome. Additionally, implant failure and allergic reactions can occur due to hypersensitivity reactions. Zirconia implants can be considered as an alternative; however, limitations still exist due to a lack of long-term clinical data. Conclusions Clinicians should pay attention to the use of titanium dental implants and need to be aware of the problems that may arise from the use of titanium implants and should be able to diagnose them, in spite of very rare occurrence. Within the limitation of this study, it was suggested that we should be aware the rare problems of titanium toxicity.

Abstract
Implant surface characteristics, as well as physical and mechanical properties, are responsible for the positive interaction between the dental implant, the bone and the surrounding soft tissues. Unfortunately, the dental implant surface does not remain unaltered and changes over time during the life of the implant. If changes occur at the implant surface, mucositis and peri-implantitis processes could be initiated; implant osseointegration might be disrupted and bone resorption phenomena (osteolysis) may lead to implant loss. This systematic review compiled the information related to the potential sources of titanium particle and ions in implant dentistry. Research questions were structured in the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) framework. PICO questionnaires were developed and an exhaustive search was performed for all the relevant studies published between 1980 and 2018 involving titanium particles and ions related to implant dentistry procedures. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for the selection and inclusion of the manuscripts in this review. Titanium particle and ions are released during the implant bed preparation, during the implant insertion and during the implant decontamination. In addition, the implant surfaces and restorations are exposed to the saliva, bacteria and chemicals that can potentially dissolve the titanium oxide layer and, therefore, corrosion cycles can be initiated. Mechanical factors, the micro-gap and fluorides can also influence the proportion of metal particles and ions released from implants and restorations.

Abstract
The reduced marginal bone loss observed when using the platform-switching concept may be the result of reduced amounts of tribocorrosion products released to the peri-implant tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the tribocorrosion product release from various platform-matched and platform-switched implant-abutment couplings under cyclic loading. Forty-eight titanium implants were coupled with pure titanium, gold alloy, cobalt-chrome alloy, and zirconia abutments forming either platform-switched or platform-matched groups ( n = 6). The specimens were subjected to cyclic occlusal forces in a wet acidic environment for 24 h followed by static aqueous immersion for 6 d. The amount of metal ions released was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Microscopic evaluations were performed pre- and postimmersion under scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy X-ray for corrosion assessment at the interface and wear particle characterization. All platform-switched groups showed less metal ion release compared with their platform-matched counterparts within each abutment material group ( P < 0.001). Implants connected to platform-matched cobalt-chrome abutments demonstrated the highest total mean metal ion release (218 ppb), while the least total mean ion release (11 ppb) was observed in the implants connected to platform-switched titanium abutments ( P ≤ 0.001). Titanium was released from all test groups, with its highest mean release (108 ppb) observed in the implants connected to platform-matched gold abutments ( P < 0.001). SEM images showed surface tribocorrosion features such as pitting and bands of fretting scars. Wear particles were mostly titanium, ranging from submicron to 48 µm in length. The platform-matched groups demonstrated a higher amount of metal ion release and more surface damage. These findings highlight the positive effect of the platform-switching concept in the reduction of tribocorrosion products released from dental implants, which consequently may minimize the adverse tissue reactions that lead to peri-implant bone loss.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems, comparing two commercial brands. Material and Methods Forty specimens were fabricated from Transbond XT and Light Bond composite and bonding agent components (n=10/component), then contaminated by immersion in a bacterial endotoxin solution. Contaminated and non-contaminated acrylic resin samples were used as positive and negative control groups, respectively. LPS quantification was performed by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate QCL-1000™ test. Data obtained were scored and subjected to the Chi-square test using a significance level of 5%. Results There was endotoxin adhesion to all materials (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between composites/bonding agents and acrylic resin (p>0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) among commercial brands. Affinity of endotoxin was significantly greater for the bonding agents (p=0.0025). Conclusions LPS adhered to both orthodontic adhesive systems. Regardless of the brand, the endotoxin had higher affinity for the bonding agents than for the composites. There is no previous study assessing the affinity of LPS for orthodontic adhesive systems. This study revealed that LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems. Therefore, additional care is recommended to orthodontic applications of these materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The etiology of the reduced marginal bone loss observed around platform-switched implant-abutment connections is not clear but could be related to the release of variable amounts of corrosion products. The present study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of metal ions released from different implant abutment couples on osteoblastic cell viability, apoptosis and expression of genes related to bone resorption. METHODS Osteoblastic cells were exposed to five conditions of culture media prepared containing metal ions (titanium, aluminum, vanadium, cobalt, chromium and molybdenum) in different concentrations representing the amounts released from platform-matched and platform-switched implant-abutment couples as a result of an earlier accelerated corrosion experiment. Cell viability was evaluated over 21days using the Alamar Blue assay. Induction of apoptosis was measured after 24h of exposure using flow cytometry. Expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, cyclooxygenase-2, caspase-8, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) by osteoblastic cells were analysed after exposure for 1, 3 and 21days using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay RESULTS: Metal ions in concentrations representing the platform-matched groups led to a reduction in cell viability (P<0.01) up to 7days of exposure. Stimulated cells showed higher rates of early apoptosis (P<0.01) compared to non-treated cells. Metal ions up-regulated the expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, cyclooxygenase-2 and RANKL in a dose dependent manner after 1day of exposure (P<0.05). The up-regulation was more pronounced in the groups containing the corrosion products of platform-matched implant-abutment couples. CONCLUSION Osteoblastic cell viability, apoptosis, and regulation of bone resorbing mediators were significantly altered in the presence of metal ions. The change in cytokine levels expressed was directly proportional to the metal ion concentration. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The observed biological responses to decreased amounts of metal ions released from platform-switched implant-abutment couples compared to platform-matched couples may partly explain the positive radiographic findings in respect to crestal bone level when utilising the "platform-switching" concept, which highlights the possible role of corrosion products in the mediation of crestal bone loss around dental implants.

Abstract
Metal alloys are frequently used as implant materials in veterinary medicine. Recent studies suggest that many alloys induce both local and systemic inflammatory responses. In this study, 37 rhesus macaques with long-term skull-anchored percutaneous titanium alloy implants (duration, 0 to 14 y) were evaluated for changes in their hematology, coagulation, and serum chemistry profiles. Negative controls (n = 28) did not have implants. Macaques with implants had higher plasma D-dimer and lower antithrombin III concentrations than nonimplanted animals. In addition, animals with implants had higher globulin and lower albumin and calcium concentrations compared with nonimplanted macaques. Many of these changes were positively correlated with duration of implantation and the number of implants. Chronic bacterial infection of the skin was present around many of the implant sites and within deeper tissues. Representative histopathology around the implant site of 2 macaques revealed chronic suppurative to pyogranulomatous inflammation extending from the skin to the dura mater. X-ray fluorescence microscopy of tissue biopsies from the implant site of the same 2 animals revealed significantly higher levels of free metal ions in the tissue, including titanium and iron. The higher levels of free metal ions persisted in the tissues for as long as 6 mo after explantation. These results suggest that long-term skull-anchored percutaneous titanium alloy implants can be associated with localized inflammation, chronic infection, and leaching of metal ions into local tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri-implantitis represents a disruption of the biocompatible interface between the titanium dioxide layer of the implant surface and the peri-implant tissues. Increasing preclinical data suggest that peri-implantitis microbiota not only triggers an inflammatory immune response but also causes electrochemical alterations of the titanium surfaces, i.e., corrosion, that aggravate this inflammatory response. Thus, it was hypothesized that there is an association between dissolution of titanium from dental implants, which suggests corrosion, and peri-implantitis in humans. The objective of this study is to compare levels of dissolved titanium in submucosal plaque collected from healthy implants and implants with peri-implantitis. METHODS Submucosal plaque from 20 implants with peri-implantitis and 20 healthy implants was collected with sterile curets from 30 participants. Levels of titanium were quantified using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and normalized for mass of bacterial DNA per sample to exclude confounding by varying amounts of plaque per site. Statistical analysis was performed using generalized estimated equations to adjust for clustering of implants per participant. RESULTS Implants with peri-implantitis harbored significantly higher mean levels of titanium (0.85 ± 2.47) versus healthy implants (0.07 ± 0.19) after adjusting for amount of plaque collected per site (P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS Greater levels of dissolved titanium were detected in submucosal plaque around implants with peri-implantitis compared with healthy implants, indicating an association between titanium dissolution and peri-implantitis. Factors triggering titanium dissolution, as well as the role of titanium corrosion in the peri-implant inflammatory process, warrant further investigation.

Abstract
The improved peri-implant bone response demonstrated by platform switching may be the result of reduced amounts of metal ions released to the surrounding tissues. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of metal ions released from platform-matched and platform-switched implant–abutment couples as a result of accelerated corrosion. Thirty-six titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and cobalt–chrome alloy abutments were coupled with titanium cylinders forming either platform-switched or platform-matched groups (n=6). In addition, 18 unconnected samples served as controls. The specimens were subjected to accelerated corrosion by static immersion in 1% lactic acid for 1 week. The amount of metal ions ion of each test tube was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and energy dispersive spectroscopy X-ray analyses were performed pre- and post-immersion to assess corrosion at the interface. The platform-matched groups demonstrated higher ion release for vanadium, aluminium, cobalt, chrome, and molybdenum compared with the platform-switched groups (P<0.05). Titanium was the highest element to be released regardless of abutment size or connection (P<0.05). SEM images showed pitting corrosion prominent on the outer borders of the implant and abutment platform surfaces. In conclusion, implant–abutment couples underwent an active corrosion process resulting in metal ions release into the surrounding environment. The highest amount of metal ions released was recorded for the platform-matched groups, suggesting that platform-switching concept has a positive effect in reducing the levels of metal ion release from the implant–abutment couples.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that results in the destruction of soft tissue and bone around the implant. Titanium implant corrosion has been attributed to the implant failure and cytotoxic effects to the alveolar bone. We have documented the extent of titanium release into surrounding plaque in patients with and without peri-implantitis. An in vitro model was designed to represent the actual environment of an implant in a patient’s mouth. The model uses actual oral microbiota from a volunteer, allows monitoring electrochemical processes generated by biofilms growing on implants and permits control of biocorrosion electrical current. As determined by next generation DNA sequencing, microbial compositions in experiments with the in vitro model were comparable with the compositions found in patients with implants. It was determined that the electrical conductivity of titanium implants was the key factor responsible for the biocorrosion process. The interruption of the biocorrosion current resulted in a 4–5 fold reduction of corrosion. We propose a new design of dental implant that combines titanium in zero oxidation state for osseointegration and strength, interlaid with a nonconductive ceramic. In addition, we propose electrotherapy for manipulation of microbial biofilms and to induce bone healing in peri-implantitis patients.
