Biofilm-associated diseases are one of the main causes implant failure. Currently, development surface treatment goes beyond osseointegration process and focuses on creation surfaces with antimicrobial action possibility to be re-activated (i.e., light source activation). Titanium dioxide (TiO2), an excellent photocatalyst used for photocatalytic antibacterial applications, could a great alternative, but its efficiency is limited ultraviolet (UV) range electromagnetic spectrum. Since UV...
Polymicrobial infections are one of the most common reasons for inflammation surrounding tissues and failure implanted biomaterials. Because microorganism adhesion is first step biofilm formation, physical–chemical modifications biomaterials have been proposed to reduce initial microbial attachment. Thus, use superhydrophobic coatings has emerged because their anti-biofilm properties. However, these on titanium (Ti) surface developed mainly by dual-step modification techniques not tested...
Despite UV photolysis is common industrial water treatment, existent approaches are still not fully effective nor practical due to the growing amount of discharged effluents. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been used as a semiconductor for photocatalytic degradation pollutants, but its efficiency limited rapid reverse reaction. Thus, novel needed improve quality and cost benefits photocatalysts. In this study, processing time effect CeO2-Nb2O5 coatings on titanium synthesized via one-step method...
Failures of dental and orthopedic implants due to microbial colonization, corrosion, insufficient osseointegration remain persistent clinical challenges. Current implant surface coatings often lack the mechanical robustness needed for long-term success. Therefore, this study developed zinc (Zn)-doped on titanium via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), achieving 11 at % Zn incorporation primarily as oxide (ZnO). The Zn-doped were composed zinc, calcium, phosphorus, oxygen, displaying...
Abstract Folate (FT) is a suitable targeting ligand for folate receptors (FOLR) overexpressed on inflamed cells. Thus, FT‐loaded polymers can be used as FOLRs‐targeted immunotherapy to positively modulate the inflammatory process. A novel biodegradable imprinted polymer with FT delivery mechanism driven by pH changes [PCL‐MIP@FT] designed molecularly technology. The validated in vitro, demonstrating that an acidic environment accelerated and increased release of period 7 days (∼100 µg mL −1...
Along with poor implant-bone integration, peri-implant diseases are the major causes of implant failure. Although such primarily triggered by biofilm accumulation, a complex inflammatory process in response to corrosive-related metallic ions/debris has also been recognized as risk factor. In this regard, boosting titanium (Ti) surface silane-based positive charges, cationic coatings have gained increasing attention due their ability kill pathogens and may be favorable for corrosion...
