RESUMO

Titanium (Ti) is commonly used in dental implant applications. Surface modification strategies are being followed in last years in order to build Ti oxide-based surfaces that can fulfill, simultaneously, the following requirements: induced cell attachment and adhesion, while providing a superior corrosion and tribocorrosion performance. In this work micro-arc oxidation (MAO) was used as a tool for the growth of a nanostructured bioactive titanium oxide layer aimed to enhance cell attachment and adhesion for dental implant applications. Characterization of the surfaces was performed, in terms of morphology, topography, chemical composition and crystalline structure. Primary human osteoblast adhesion on the developed surfaces was investigated in detail by electronic and atomic force microscopy as well as immunocytochemistry. Also an investigation on the early cytokine production was performed. Results show that a relatively thick hybrid and graded oxide layer was produced on the Ti surface, being constituted by a mixture of anatase, rutile and amorphous phases where calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) were incorporated. An outermost nanometric-thick amorphous oxide layer rich in Ca was present in the film. This amorphous layer, rich in Ca, improved fibroblast viability and metabolic activity as well as osteoblast adhesion. High-resolution techniques allowed to understand that osteoblasts adhered less in the crystalline-rich regions while they preferentially adhere and spread over in the Ca-rich amorphous oxide layer. Also, these surfaces induce higher amounts of IFN-γ cytokine secretion, which is known to regulate inflammatory responses, bone microarchitecture as well as cytoskeleton reorganization and cellular spreading. These surfaces are promising in the context of dental implants, since they might lead to faster osseointegration.

RESUMO

AIM: To verify the in vitro cytocompatibility of iRoot BP Plus (iRoot) and to compare it with White ProRoot MTA (MTA). METHODOLOGY: Thirty-six human maxillary incisor root canals were prepared using a step-back flaring technique. The apical 3 mm was resected perpendicular to the long axis at the roots, and root-end cavities were prepared with the aid of an ultrasonic device plus a diamond retrotip with continuous irrigation using water, producing standardized preparations. After that, the root-end cavities were filled with iRoot or MTA, and each root was exposed to cell culture media for 24 or 48 h. Human osteoblast cells were exposed to the extracts thus obtained, and a multiparametric cell viability assay was performed, evaluating mitochondrial activity, membrane integrity and cell density. The results were analysed by one-way analysis of variance, complemented with the Duncan post-test (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Cells exposed to MTA revealed a cytocompatibility pattern similar to the untreated cells (negative control), at both experimental times (P > 0.05). iRoot, however, promoted a significantly poorer viability than MTA and the control, after 48 h of exposure (P < 0.001). Nevertheless, iRoot did not induce critical cytotoxic effects because cell viability remained higher than 70% of the control group in most tests performed. CONCLUSION: iRoot and MTA were biocompatible and did not induce critical cytotoxic effects.

RESUMO

AIM: To compare the cytotoxicity of four endodontic sealers (Sealapex, Pulp Canal Sealer EWT, Real Seal and MTA Fillapex) either 1 or 7 days after mixing, when assessed through a multiparametric analysis employing human primary cells closely related to periapical tissues. METHODOLOGY: Extracts of each sealer were prepared following 24-h exposure to culture media, at either 24 h or 7 days after mixing. Primary human osteoblasts were exposed to extracts for 24 h, at 37 °C with 5% CO(2) , and cell viability was evaluated by a multiparametric assay assessing sequentially, on the same cells, mitochondrial activity (XTT), membrane integrity (neutral red test) and total cell density (crystal violet dye exclusion test). Results from each test and experimental time were compared by 2-way analysis of variance (anova). RESULTS: All endodontic sealers had strong cytotoxicity 24 h after mixing, according to all parameters evaluated. At a longer setting period (7 days), viability for Sealapex was significantly increased (P < 0.05) and Pulp Canal Sealer achieved levels of cytocompatibility similar to the control group. The anova indicated a general correlation between the cytotoxicity of the materials and the time after mixing, with some level of dependence on the cell viability assay employed. CONCLUSIONS: All materials had high cytotoxic levels for human primary cells, mostly on a time-dependent basis, as shown by three different cell viability tests.

RESUMO

Different biomaterials have been used as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Here we characterize a biomaterial composed of sintered (1100 degrees C) and powdered hydroxyapatite (HA) and type I collagen (Coll), both of bovine origin, designed for osteoconductive and osteoinductive scaffolds. Coll/HA proportions were 1/2.6 and 1/1 (wet weight), and particles sizes varied from 200 to 400 microm. Vv (volume density) and Sv (surface to volume density) for the HA particles in the composite ranged from 0.48 +/- 0.06 to 0.55 +/- 0.02 and 5.090 +/- 0.545 to 6.366 +/- 0.289 microm(-1), respectively. Due to the relatively small changes in Vv and Sv, a macroporosity could be characterized for the biocomposite. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy showed that the sintered bone was composed essentially of HA with minimum additional groups such as surface calcium hydroxide, surface and crystal water, free carbon dioxide and possibly brushite. Mass spectrometry detected carbonates at A and B sites of HA, and weakly bound to the structure. Human osteoblasts adhered and spread on both the HA particle surface and the collagen fibers, which seemed to guide cells between adjacent particles. The biocomposite studied has several characteristics considered as ideal for its use as a scaffold for osteoconduction and osteoinduction.
