Corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of a new porous surface for titanium implants

Alterations of the commercially pure titanium (cpTi) surface may be undertaken to improve its biological properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the biocompatibility of cpTi when submitted to a new, porous titanium, surface treatment (porous Ti). Five types of surface treatments, namely sintered microspheres porous titanium (porous Ti), titanium plasma spray (TPS), hydroxyapatite (HA), sandblasted and acid etched (SBAE), and resorbable blast medium, sandblasted with hydroxyapatite (RBM) were made. In the experimental methods, the corrosion potentials were measured over time, and then a linear sweep voltammetric analysis measured the polarization resistances and corrosion currents. For biocompatibility evaluation, MG63 osteoblast-like cells were used. Cell morphology, cell proliferation, total protein content, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were evaluated after 2 h, and after 2, 4 and 7 d. Porous Ti and SBAE showed a better corrosion resistance, with a weak corrosion current and a high polarization resistance, than the other surfaces. Cell attachment, cell morphology, cell proliferation, and ALP synthesis were influenced by the surface treatments, with a significant increase observed of the activity of osteoblast cells on the porous coating (porous Ti). Based on these results, it is suggested that the porous Ti surface has a significantly better biocompatibility than the other surface treatments and an excellent electrochemical performance.

In vitro evaluation of corrosion and cytotoxicity of orthodontic brackets

The corrosion resistance of AISI 304 stainless steel (AISI 304 SS) and manganese stainless steel (low-nickel SS) brackets in artificial saliva was investigated. The cytotoxic effects of their corrosion products on L929 cell culture were compared by two assays, crystal violet, to evaluate cell viability, and MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide), for cell metabolism and proliferation. The atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis of the corrosion products demonstrated that nickel and manganese ion concentrations were higher for the AISI 304 SS-bracket immersion solution as compared with the low-nickel SS brackets. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy demonstrated less corrosion resistance for the AISI 304 SS brackets. Although none of the bracket extracts altered L929 cell viability or morphology, the AISI 304 SS-bracket extracts decreased cellular metabolism slightly. The results indicated that the low-nickel SS presents better in vitro biocompatibility than AISI 304 SS brackets.

The effect of three different calcium phosphate implant coatings on bone deposition and coating resorption: a long-term histological study in sheep

The present study investigated the hypothesis that hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and a HA-gel coated on endosseous titanium (Ti) implants by spark discharging (SD) and dip coating would achieve predictable osseointegration without evident bioresorption of the coatings on the long term. A costal sheep model was used for the implantation of the HA/SD, HA/TCP/SD, and HA-gel/SD specimens, which were retrieved 6 and 12 months following implantation. HA and Ti coatings on implants obtained by conventional plasma spraying (HA/PS, Ti/PS) were used as controls. Microscopy showed that osseointegration was achieved from all types of implants. No evidence for bioresorption of the HA/SD, HA/TCP/SD, and HA-gel/SD coatings was present but cohesive failure with disruption of the coating/implant interface was seen. A statistical analysis of the histomorphometrical data showed no time-dependent effect, however. HA/PS coatings achieved significantly higher bone-implant contact (BIC) percentages of the total implant surface (toBIC) than the other types of coatings (P=0.01). If the BIC percentages were traced separately for implant portions placed into cortical and cancellous bone (coBIC and caBIC, respectively), detailed analysis showed that the caBIC values of HA-gel/SD and HA/PS coatings were significantly higher than that of the other types of coatings (P=0.01). CaBIC values were highly correlated with toBIC values (P<0.001). The present study showed that the preparation techniques used produced thin, dense, and unresorbable coatings that achieved osseointegration. Compared with the control coatings, however, only HA-gel/SD coating can be recommended from the investigated preparation techniques for a future clinical use if a better coating cohesion is achieved.

A comparative study of the bone contact to zirconium and titanium implants after 8 weeks of implantation in rabbit femoral condyles

Zirconium (Zr) has been found to have comparable characteristics to titanium with a favorable modulus of elasticity. In addition, the release of Zr-ions of a Zr implant is supposed to further increase the bone-to-implant response. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the bone contact to Zr and Ti implants in the femoral trabecular bone of rabbits. In addition, implants provided with a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating were included, as such a coating was proven before to enhance the secondary implant stability. A total of 32 implants consisting of 16 Zr (8 HA coated) and 16 Ti (8 HA coated) implants were installed in the femoral condyle of 16 rabbits. After 8 weeks of healing the femoral condyles including the implants were retrieved and studied histologically. The bone-to-implant contact (BIC) percentage was assessed and analyzed statistically. The BIC values of the uncoated Zr and Ti implants showed comparable BIC values (45.1 ± 14.8 vs. 45.5 ± 13.1). The BIC percentage was slightly higher for HA coated Zr and Ti implants (60.3 ± 17.1, 59.8 ± 16.4, respectively) compared to uncoated, but statistical testing indicated that this difference was not significant. It can be concluded that Zr and Ti implants show a comparable bone-implant contact after 8 weeks of implantation in the currently used rabbit model. In addition, the deposition of a sputtered HA coating on both Zr and Ti implants did not further improve their bone integration.

Long-term bone response to titanium implants coated with thin radiofrequent magnetron-sputtered hydroxyapatite in rabbits

PURPOSE: The present study was designed to investigate the long-term bone response around machined screw-type uncoated and calcium phosphate (CaP) -coated commercially pure titanium implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a magnetron sputtering technique, implants with a CaP coating similar in composition and CaP ratio to hydroxyapatite were produced. Heat treatment was subsequently used to increase the crystallinity of the coatings. Four types of coatings (0.1 and 2.0 microm amorphous and 0.1 and 2.0 microm crystalline) were manufactured; uncoated implants served as a control. Three hundred twenty implants (64 of each type) were randomly placed in the tibial cortical and trabecular femoral bones of 40 rabbits. The rabbits were sacrificed 9 months after implant placement. RESULTS: Histomorphometric evaluation carried out on ground sections revealed that the crystalline CaP coatings achieved the highest bone-implant contact in both tibiae and femora compared with amorphous CaP-coated and uncoated titanium. DISCUSSION: The present study suggests that submicron crystalline hydroxyapatite coating adds bioactive properties to titanium oral implants. CONCLUSION: An ultra-thin, 0.1-microm crystalline CaP coating can elicit and maintain an improved long-term bone response compared to amorphous coated or uncoated Ti implants, without any adverse tissue reactions.     

Short-term bone response to titanium implants coated with thin radiofrequent magnetron-sputtered hydroxyapatite in rabbits

Background: It has been suggested that calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings initiate faster bone growth around implants. A major concern about the viable use of these coatings has been their biologic performance related to the coating characteristics. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the early bone response to micron‐ and submicron‐thick hydroxya‐patite (HA) coatings in cortical and trabecular bone. Materials and Methods: CaP coatings were manufactured by magnetron sputtering. Heat treatment was subsequently used to increase the crystallinity of the coatings. Coatings were characterized by x‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‐OES), and stylus profilometry. Four types of CaP‐coated implants were used (0.1 urn and 2.0 μm amorphous; 0.1 um and 2.0 μn crystalline); uncoated machined commercially pure titanium implants served as controls. Four hundred eighty implants were randomly placed in 60 rabbits. Ten animals were followed up for 1 week, 10 for 3 weeks, and 40 for 6 weeks. The bone response was histomorphometrically evaluated. Results: Coatings with a CaP ratio very close to that of HA were produced. Crystalline coatings significantly improved the early bone‐implant contact whereas the amorphous‐coated implants behaved similarly to uncoated titanium. Conclusions: Crystalline CaP coatings 100 nm thick on titanium implants elicited an improved early bone response compared with that of uncoated titanium implants. No further improvement in the bone response was observed with 2 μm coatings.     

In vivo characterization of titanium implants coated with synthetic hydroxyapatite by electrophoresis

This study compared in vivo the performances of commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) screw dental implants either uncoated or coated with synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) by electrophoresis. The HA coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Well-adhered carbonated-hydroxyapatite layers (4- to-8-microm-thick) were obtained. In vivo tests were carried out by insertion of both uncoated and HA-coated implants into rabbit tibiae for 8 or 12 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy with the aid of image-processing software. Results showed significantly greater bone-implant contact for HA-coated implants (p<0.05) than cp Ti implants. Comparison of bone content inside the screw implants showed no significant differences (p>0.05) between both types of implants, although cp Ti had numerically higher percentage of bone content than HA-coated implants. In conclusion, the HA-coated implants had better performance regarding the bone-implant contact area than the uncoated implants; coating by electrophoresis proved to be a valuable process to coat metallic implants with an osteoconductive material such as hydroxyapatite.     

Bone response adjacent to calcium phosphate electrostatic spray deposition coated implants: an experimental study in goats

BACKGROUND: A new technique to deposit calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings onto titanium substrates has been developed recently. This electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique seems to be very promising. It appears to have clinical advantages such as an inexpensive and simple set-up, high deposition efficiency and the possibility to synthesize layers with a defined surface morphology. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine biological properties and osteoconductivity of ESD CaP coatings when inserted into the femoral condyle of a goat. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-four implants with two gaps, i.e. 1 or 2 mm, were inserted into the femoral condyles of six goats. The implants were coated on one side with either a commercially available plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HAPS) coating or an ESD carbonate apatite (CAESD) coating. The other side of the implant was always left uncoated (Ti). Twelve weeks after implantation the animals were sacrificed and the characteristics of bone ingrowth and bone contact were evaluated. Results: At 3 months, histological and quantitative histomorphometrical measurements demonstrated more bone ingrowth and bone contact for coated sites as compared with uncoated sites. Statistical testing revealed that for both the 1 and 2 mm gaps HAPS (plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite) as well as CAESD (ESD carbonate apatite) -coated surfaces always had a significantly higher (P<0.05) amount of bone contact than uncoated Ti surfaces. On HAPS surfaces always significantly more bone was present than on CAESD surfaces. Further statistical testing revealed a significant difference in bone ingrowth between the HAPS as well as CAESD and Ti 1+2 mm gap specimens (P<0.05). Further, HAPS 1 mm gaps showed more bone ingrowth than CAESD 1 mm gaps. No significant difference existed between HAPS and CAESD 2 mm gaps. CONCLUSION: On the basis of our observations, we conclude that the used ESD technique is a promising new method to deposit CaP coatings onto titanium substrates. On the other hand, plasma-spray HA-coated implants have a still more favourable effect on the bone response.

Bone healing around titanium and titanium nitride-coated dental implants with three surfaces: an experimental study in rats

Background: Titanium nitride (TiN) has been used in many fields as a coating of surgical instruments, with the purpose of creating materials more resistant to wear and corrosion and also reducing adhesion. Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of TiN‐coated dental implants. Materials and Methods: Forty‐five rats were used in this study. One hundred eighty 2 mm 2 mm implants (P.H.I., San Vittore Olona, Milano, Italy) were used. The implants were divided into the following three groups: Group 1 (n= 60):30 machined and 30 machined coated with TiN Group 2(n= 60):30 sandblasted and 30 sandblasted coated with TiN Group 3 (n= 60):30 titanium plasma sprayed, 30 titanium plasma sprayed and coated with TiN Four implants were placed in each rat, two implants coated with TiN on the right tibia and two uncoated implants on the left. The animals were killed after 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. Another 18 implants were used for surface roughness analysis. Results: The present study showed that the healing around the TiN‐coated implants was similar to that observed around the uncoated surfaces. Conclusions: TiN coating demonstrated a good biocompatibility, did not have untoward effects on the periimplant bone formation, and did not change the surface roughness values.     

Short‐ and long‐term animal studies with a plasma‐sprayed calcium phosphate‐coated implant

A commercially available hydroxyapatite(HA)‐coating was investigated in a 4‐ and 24‐week animal study. HA‐coated and uncoated commercially pure (c.p.) titanium threaded implants were inserted in rabbit tibia and femur. Qualitative histology showed giant cells and macrophages around both types of implants. Histomorphometry demonstrated significantly more bone in contact to the HA‐coated specimens at both follow‐up periods. In contrast, bone area measurements (the amount of bone inside and/or outside the threads) revealed significantly higher percentages of bone around the uncoated c.p. titanium controls after 6 months of follow‐up. The inferior amount of bone around the HA‐coated implants in the longer‐term perspective may relate to macrophage‐induced resorption.     

Bone healing capacity of titanium plasma‐sprayed and hydroxylapatite‐coated oral implants

The influence of surface quality, in particular surface topography and implant material, was evaluated by inserting titanium‐ and hydroxylapatite plasma‐sprayed coated implants into the maxilla of 10 goats. Three types of plasma‐spray coatings were applied to tapered, screw shaped implants; titanium plasma‐spray coating (TPS), titanium plasma‐spray coating with additional acid passivation (TPSA) and a bilayered coating (TPS/HA) consisting of titanium plasma‐spray coating (TPS) and a hydroxylapatite part (HA). In addition, as machined implants (TIM) were used as control. A total of 40 implants were inserted according a balanced split plot design. At the end of a 3‐month healing period, it appeared that 5 implants (2 TPS, 1 TPSA, 1 TPS/HA and 1 TiM) were lost. Histological examination revealed a stronger bone response to TPS/HA coated implants. Even the TPS/HA coated implants induced bone formation on the part of the implant inserted into the sinus. No signs of delamination of the TPS coatings were visible. The HA part of the dual coating showed signs of degradation. Histomorphometrical analysis confirmed these findings. A significant difference in bone contact ( P <0.05) was measured between the TPS/HA coated implants and the other types of implants. Linear regression ( r >0.2) showed no correlation between the inscrew values at the base line and the bone contact measurements 3 months after healing. On the basis of these results, we can conclude that the chemical composition of the HA coating has a positive influence on the bone reaction. The influence of roughness is less evident.

Corrosion of stainless steel, nickel-titanium, coated nickel-titanium, and titanium orthodontic wires

Orthodontic wires containing nickel have been implicated in allergic reactions. The potential for orthodontic wires to cause allergic reactions is related to the pattern and mode of corrosion with subsequent release of metal ions, such as nickel, into the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a significant difference in the corrosive potential of stainless steel, nickel titanium, nitride-coated nickel titanium, epoxy-coated nickel titanium, and titanium orthodontic wires. At least two specimens of each wire were subjected to potentiostatic anodic dissolution in 0.9% NaCl solution with neutral pH at room temperature. Using a Wenking MP 95 potentiostat and an electrochemical corrosion cell, the breakdown potential of each wire was determined. Photographs were taken of the wire speci mens using a scanning electron microscope, and surface changes were qualitatively evaluated. The breakdown potentials of stainless steel, two nickel titanium wires, nitride-coated nickel titanium, epoxy-coated nickel titanium, and titanium were 400 mV, 300 mV, 750 mV, 300 mV, 1800 mV, and >2000 mV, respectively. SEM photographs revealed that some nickel titanium and stainless steel wires were susceptible to pitting and localized corrosion. The results indicate that corrosion occurred readily in stainless steel. Variability in breakdown potential of nickel titanium alloy wires differed across vendors' wires. The nitride coating did not affect the corrosion of the alloy, but epoxy coating decreased corrosion. Titanium wires and epoxy-coated nickel titanium wires exhibited the least corrosive potential. For patients allergic to nickel, the use of titanium or epoxy-coated wires during orthodontic treatment is recommended.     

Hydroxyapatite coating on a titanium metal substrate by a discharging method in modified artificial body fluid

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the formation of a hydroxyapatite coating on titanium plate by discharging in typical and modified artificial body fluids. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Japanese Industrial Standard Grade 2 titanium plates were used as specimens. Discharging was performed on the specimens in each solution, and the surface topography of each coating was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The Ca/P atomic ratio and surface characterization of each coating were evaluated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and crystal phases of each coating were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. RESULTS: Tricalcium phosphate formed on the titanium surface in a 1.5 Ca/P solution with high ion concentrations of calcium (2.5 mmol/L) and phosphorous (1.67 mmol/L). Crystalline HA was formed on the titanium surface in a 1.5 Ca/P solution (Hanks' balanced salt solution without organic molecules) with low ion concentrations of calcium (1.26 mmol/L) and phosphorus (0.83 mmol/L). DISCUSSION: A solution containing organic pH buffer was insufficient to form stable coatings on the titanium surface. Coating properties strongly depended on the Ca/P chemical ratio of the applied solution. A Ca/P ratio of 1.5 was appropriate for preparing a calcium phosphate coating on a titanium surface, whereas a Ca/P ratio of 2.5 was excessively high. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Hanks' balanced salt solution without organic molecules is the most suitable solution for forming crystalline hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium surfaces by the discharging method.
