Abstract
Background
This systematic aimed to answer: "How do peptide coatings functionalize titanium (Ti) surfaces?". The question was structured according to the PICOS strategy, PRISMA guidelines were followed and the review was registered in the Open Science Framework.
Methods
A personalized search strategy was applied to Embase, Lilacs, PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science Google Scholar and ProQuest databases. Included studies were in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo experiments investigating the antimicrobial and osteogenic effects of peptide-functionalized Ti surfaces against Sthaphylococcus aureus and/or MC3T3-E1 cells. Excluded papers were clinical studies, reviews, studies lacking Ti surfaces or controls, those not using S. aureus or MC3T3-E1 cells, or involving non-murine models or peptide coatings combined with other agents. The risk of bias was assessed using RoBDEMAT for in vitro and Syrcle for in vivo studies. Meta-analysis was performed using inverse variance method under a random-effects model, 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI), p-values, and heterogeneity index (I2).
Results
A total of 1731 potential studies were identified, 728 were screened by title and abstract, 52 were selected for full reading, 43 were included in this systematic review and all studies showed high risk of bias. In vitro, peptide-functionalized Ti surfaces significantly reduced S. aureus adhesion and proliferation (effect size: -8.10, 95 % CI [-13.33 to -2.86], p = 0.002) and showed slightly higher cytotoxicity (0.67 [0.37–0.98], p < 0.001) for MC3T3-E1 cells, but enhanced bone mineralization (4.63 [2.44–6.81], p < 0.001) and expression of pro-osteogenic genes (2.30 [1.89–2.71], p < 0.001). In vivo, functionalized implants led to greater new bone formation (7.81 [5.44–10.18], p < 0.001), trabecular number (11.22 [3.78–18.66], p = 0.003), and thickness (6.38 [3.05–9.71], p = 0.0002).
Discussion
Peptide coating of Ti surfaces for dental application can optimize implant performance, reduce infection and failure rates, and contribute to the development of safer and more effective therapies in oral rehabilitation. Therefore, this systematic review answered its question, as Ti coatings with peptides show antimicrobial and osteogenic activity as a surface functionalization mechanism.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
