Abstract
Commercially pure titanium (CpTi), a bioinert metal, is used as an implant material at low load-bearing sites and as a porous coating on Ti6Al4V at high load-bearing sites. There is an unmet need for metallic biomaterials to improve osseointegration and inherent antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we have added 1 wt % SiO2 and 3 wt % Cu to the CpTi matrix and processed via metal additive manufacturing (AM). Si4+ ions promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis. CpTi-SiO2 composition exhibited 4.5 times higher bone formation at the bone-implant interface over CpTi in an in vivo study with a rat distal femur model. In vitro bacterial studies with Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacterium revealed 85% antibacterial efficacy by CpTi-SiO2-3Cu than CpTi. CpTi-SiO2-3Cu did not show any inflammatory markers in vivo, indicating the absence of cytotoxicity, but displayed delayed osseointegration compared to CpTi-SiO2. CpTi-SiO2-3Cu displayed 3-fold higher mineralized bone formation than CpTi. Our results emphasize the synergistic effect of SiO2 and Cu addition in CpTi, promoting enhanced early stage osseointegration and inherent antibacterial efficacy, contributing toward implant longevity and stability in vivo.

Abstract
Titanium, being the ultimate choice of metallic material for implant applications, its bio-inertness causes delayed bone-tissue integration at the implant site and prevents expedited healing for the patient. This can cause a severe issue for patients with immunocompromised bone health. Infections at the implant site are another concern; titanium does not offer inherent antimicrobial properties. Current strategies addressing the issues above include using cemented implants as a coating on Ti6Al4V bulk material for orthopedic applications. Roadblock arises with coating failure due to weak interfacial bond at the Ti-cement interface, resulting in revision surgeries. We have added osteogenic MgO and antibacterial Cu to CpTi and processed them using metal additive manufacturing (AM) to address these issues. Mg, an essential trace element in the body, has been proven to enhance osseointegration in vivo. Cu has been popular for its bactericidal capabilities. With 1 wt.% of MgO addition in the CpTi matrix, we have observed a four-fold increase in the mineralized bone formation at the bone-implant interface in vivo. The presence of 3 wt.% of Cu showed no cytotoxicity markers, and adding Cu to CpTi-MgO chemical makeup showed similar in vivo performance to CpTi-MgO. In vitro bacterial studies with gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria showed 81% bacterial efficiency displayed by CpTi-MgO-Cu at the end of 72 h of culture. Our findings highlight the synergistic benefits of CpTi-MgO-Cu, which exhibit superior early-stage osseointegration and antimicrobial capabilities.

Abstract
Implant surface modification can improve osseointegration and reduce peri-implant inflammation. Implant surfaces are modified with metals because of their excellent mechanical properties and significant functions. Metal surface modification is divided into metal ions and nanoparticle surface modification. These two methods function by adding a finishing metal to the surface of the implant, and both play a role in promoting osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial properties. Based on this, the nanostructural surface changes confer stronger antibacterial and cellular affinity to the implant surface. The current paper reviews the forms, mechanisms, and applications of nanoparticles and metal ion modifications to provide a foundation for the surface modification of implants.

Abstract
Implant materials are mainly used to repair and replace defects in human hard tissue (bones and teeth). Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are widely used as implant materials because of their good mechanical properties and biocompatibilities, but they do not have the ability to induce new bone formation and have no antibacterial properties. Through surface modification, Ti and its alloys have certain osteogenic and antibacterial properties such that Ti implants can meet clinical needs and ensure integration between Ti implants and bone tissue, and this is currently an active research area. In this study, bioactive Si and Ag were introduced onto a Ti surface by plasma oxidation. The surface morphology, structure, elemental composition and valence, surface roughness, hydrophilicity and other physical and chemical properties of the coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a profiler and a contact angle meter (CA). Adhesion and extensions of osteoblasts on the surface of the material were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and mineralization of osteoblasts on the surface of the material were observed by alizarin red staining. The antibacterial properties of the material were tested by culturing Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of the material. The osteogenic properties of Ti implants with porous Si/Ag TiO2 (TCP-SA) coatings were evaluated with in vivo experiments in rats. The results showed that Si and Ag were successfully introduced onto the Ti surface by plasma oxidation, and doping with Si and Ag did not change the surface morphology of the coating. The osteoblasts showed good adhesion and extension on the surfaces of Si/Ag coated samples, and the porous Si/Ag TiO2 coating promoted cell proliferation and mineralization. The bacterial experiments showed that the porous TiO2 coatings containing Si/Ag had certain antibacterial properties. The animal experiments showed that Si/Ag-coated Ti implants promoted integration between the implants and the surrounding bone. It was concluded that the porous Si/Ag TiO2 coating on the Ti surface had good osteogenic and antibacterial properties and provides an optimal strategy for improving the osteogenic and antibacterial properties of Ti implants.

Bioactive Sphene-Based Ceramic Coatings on cpTi Substrates for Dental Implants: An In Vitro Study. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11112234.

Abstract
Titanium implant surface modifications have been widely investigated to favor the process of osseointegration. The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of sphene (CaTiSiO5) biocoating, on titanium substrates, on the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (hADSCs). Sphene bioceramic coatings were prepared using preceramic polymers and nano-sized active fillers and deposited by spray coating. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, surface roughness measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis were performed. The chemical stability of the coatings in Tris-HCl solution was investigated. In vitro studies were performed by means of proliferation test of hADSCs seeded on coated and uncoated samples after 21 days. Methyl Thiazolyl-Tetrazolium (MTT) test and immunofluorescent staining with phalloidin confirmed the in vitro biocompatibility of both substrates. In vitro osteogenic differentiation of the cells was evaluated using Alizarin Red S staining and quantification assay and real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). When hADSCs were cultured in the presence of Osteogenic Differentiation Medium, a significantly higher accumulation of calcium deposits onto the sphene-coated surfaces than on uncoated controls was detected. Osteogenic differentiation on both samples was confirmed by PCR. The proposed coating seems to be promising for dental and orthopedic implants, in terms of composition and deposition technology.
