Calcium phosphate coated 3D printed porous titanium with nanoscale surface modification for orthopedic and dental applications.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to improve the interfacial bonding between the osseous host tissue and the implant surface through the application of doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on 3D printed porous titanium. Porous titanium (Ti) cylinders with 25% volume porosity were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS™), a commercial 3D Printing technique. The surface of these 3D printed cylinders was modified by growing TiO2 nanotubes first, followed by a coating of with Sr2+ and Si4+ doped bioactive CaP ceramic in simulated body fluid (SBF). Doped CaP coated implants were hypothesized to show enhanced early stage bone tissue integration. Biological properties of these implants were investigated in vivo using a rat distal femur model after 4 and 10 weeks. CaP coated porous Ti implants have enhanced tissue ingrowth as was evident from the CT scan analysis, push out test results, and the histological analysis compared to porous implants with or without surface modification via titania nanotubes. Increased osteoid-like new bone formation and accelerated mineralization was revealed inside the CaP coated porous implants. It is envisioned that such an approach of adding a bioactive doped CaP layer on porous Ti surface can reduce healing time by enhancing early stage osseointegration in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundThree-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been widely used in orthopedics; however, it is still limited to the change of macroscopic structures. In order to further improve the biological properties of 3D-printed porous titanium scaffolds, this study introduced micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technology to modify the surface of porous titanium scaffolds and construct bioactive coatings on the surface of porous titanium scaffolds to improve the biocompatibility and osseointegration ability of the material.MethodsFor in vitro experiments, human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) were seeded onto untreated scaffolds (control group) and MAO-treated scaffolds (experimental group). After 24 h of co-culture, cytotoxicity was observed using live/dead staining, and cell/scaffold constructs were retrieved and processed for the assessment of cell morphology by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cell proliferation was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay after 3, 7, and 14 days of co-culture. The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the cell supernatant were detected after 7 and 14 days of co-culture. For in vivo experiments, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and Masson Goldner's staining were used to evaluate bone ingrowth and osseointegration at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively.ResultsIn vitro experiment results confirmed that the two groups of scaffolds were non-cytotoxic and the cell adhesion status on the MAO-treated scaffolds was better. Over time, cell proliferation and ALP levels were higher in the MAO-treated group than in the untreated scaffolds. In the in vivo experiments, the MAO-treated scaffolds showed better bone ingrowth and osseointegration than the untreated group at different time points.ConclusionsThe MAO-treated porous titanium scaffold formed a uniform and dense bioactive coating on the surface, which was more conducive to cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and showed better osseointegration and bone ingrowth in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundThe improvement of bone ingrowth into prosthesis and enhancement of the combination of the range between the bone and prosthesis are important for long-term stability of artificial joints. They are the focus of research on uncemented artificial joints. Porous materials can be of potential use to solve these problems.Objectives/purposesThis research aims to observe the characteristics of the new porous Ti-25Nb alloy and its biocompatibility in vitro, and to provide basic experimental evidence for the development of new porous prostheses or bone implants for bone tissue regeneration.MethodsThe Ti-25Nb alloys with different porosities were fabricated using powder metallurgy. The alloys were then evaluated based on several characteristics, such as mechanical properties, purity, pore size, and porosity. To evaluate biocompatibility, the specimens were subjected to methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay, cell adhesion and proliferation assay using acridine staining, scanning electron microscopy, and detection of inflammation factor interleukin-6 (IL-6).ResultsThe porous Ti-25Nb alloy with interconnected pores had a pore size of 200 µm to 500 µm, which was favorable for bone ingrowth. The compressive strength of the alloy was similar to that of cortical bone, while with the elastic modulus closer to cancellous bone. MTT assay showed that the alloy had no adverse reaction to rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, with a toxicity level of 0 to 1. Cell adhesion and proliferation experiments showed excellent cell growth on the surface and inside the pores of the alloy. According to the IL-6 levels, the alloy did not cause any obvious inflammatory response.ConclusionAll porous Ti-25Nb alloys showed good biocompatibility regardless of the percentage of porosity. The basic requirement of clinical orthopedic implants was satisfied, which made the alloy a good prospect for biomedical application. The alloy with 70% porosity had the optimum mechanical properties, as well as suitable pore size and porosity, which allowed more bone ingrowth.
