Novel implant coating could facilitate bone integration ByDTI LEIOA, Spain: Oral infections are re- garded as one of the main reasons that dental implants fail. Spanish researchers are currently developing antibacterial implant coatings that are capable of preventing and elimi- nating potential bacterial infections while providing the implants with osseointegrationproperties. The quest for surfaces that are capa- ble of preventing bacterial colonisa- tion and adhesion in the areas sur- rounding the implant “is a subject of undoubted interest, borne out of the huge number of studies that have been undertaken in this field,” according to Beatriz Palla, researcher at the Biomaterials Group of the De- partment of Polymer Science and Technology at UPV/EHU-University oftheBasqueCountry.“About10per centofimplantshavetoberemoved due to osseointegration problems or because of the onset of infection,” sheexplained. When designing strategies to com- bat these problems, the challenge is to give the surface of the titanium implant antibacterial properties, while simultaneously overcoming the tremendous resistance that bac- terial strains are capable of develop- ing against conventional antibiotics. “We have already created coatings that facilitate bone generation around the implant, thereby facili- tatinganchoringtothebone.Inabid togoastepfurther,welookedathow we could turn these coatings into bactericides,”saidthePalla. The Spanish researchers used sol-gel synthesis to tackle the problem. This method starts with the preparation of a precursor solution (sol), which, if it is left on its own for a while, turns into a gel that can be used to coat the surface of the titanium screw. After heat treatment at a high tem- perature in the kiln, it adheres to the screw that will be implanted. “We used silica as the precursor, because in many studies this compound has shown to be osteoinductive, so it meets one of the objectives that we wanted to achieve. What’s more, in order to provide the materials with antibacterial characteristics, we add- edvariousantibacterialagents”. In a related study, Palla developed three types of coatings using vari- ous antibacterial agents. Each of the coatings are able to tackle bacterial infections, either prophylactically by preventing the bacteria from adher- ing initially or against subsequent infection by eliminating it as soon as itdevelops. One of the requirements of the pro- phylactic coating was to create “a material with a very long degrada- tion time so that it would adhere to thescrewandworkforaslongaspos- sible, while preventing bacteria from adhering,” said Palla. In the coatings that were designed to eradicate an infectionthathasalreadytakenhold, however, “a rapidly degrading mate- rial is needed so that it can release the antibacterial agent as quickly as possible to attack the infection”. Furthermore, one of the coatings that were developed for this pur- pose “is designed to be used in situ, at the dentist’s surgery itself, on the infected screw without any need to extracttheimplantfromthepatient. Thisnewmaterialisintheprocessof being patented and remains a trade secret,”theresearcherstated. In view of the results, Palla believes that “it is possible to confirm that coatings with antibacterial capabili- ties, which do not affect the proper integration of the implant into the jawbone, have been developed”. However, she also admits that there isstillalongwaytogountilthesecan beappliedandusedatdentalsurger- ies. She explains that “apart from all the trials that remain to be carried out, it would also be advisable to furtherpursuetheresearchalittlein ordertooptimisetheresults”. The study, titled “Control of the deg- radation of silica sol-gel hybrid coat- ings for metal implants prepared by the triple combination of alkoxysi- lanes”, was published in the Decem- ber 2016 issue of the Journal of Non- CrystallineSolids.
