Biological characterization of the osteogenic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of fullerene-modified zirconia and titanium alloy implant surfaces
Peri-implant disease due to bacterial infection is the most common cause for dental implant failure. Similarly, surgical site infections (SSI) after orthopedic surgery utilizing Ti-based fracture fixation devices pose a dire clinical problem. Although it is well-known that fullerenes possess excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, their use for surface functionalization of dental and orthopedic implants is poorly investigated. Previously, we established a high-vacuum sublimation process which facilitates coating Ti-6Al-4V implants with complex geometry and a threaded screw design with homogeneous and stable C₆₀ films. This work assessed the effect of fullerene coated zirconia and titanium alloy screw-shaped implants subjected to various surface treatments on the osteogenic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of these implant surfaces in vitro. Quantitative analysis of osteogenic marker expression by MC3T3-E1 cells was used to characterize the osteogenic properties of the test surfaces. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties, expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines from macrophages under LPS challenge were assessed, and the anti-bacterial rate of different surface variants was evaluated by quantification of E.coli adherence and growth. This was in addition to determining the antibacterial rate against P.gingvalis for permucosal surface variants. The results showed that fullerene functionalization rendered excellent antibacterial properties of the implant surfaces and minimized the inflammatory response to zirconia dental implants, while yielding no benefit for osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, a fullerene surface modification of the per-mucosal portion of dental implants or of fracture fixation devices may hold great promise for designing dental implants as well as fracture fixation devices which an enhanced capacity of withstanding the bacterial and inflammatory challenges leading to peri-implantitis and SSI.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
