    2022 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; MICELLI, ANA L.P.; NIGRO, FREDERICO; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.; COSTA, ISOLDA
    The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of galvanic coupling between stainless steel AISI 316 L abutment type Morse taper and implant made of ASTM F1108–14 Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The assembly of the two alloys was carried out using mechanical imbrication by means of successive strikes at 0.05 J force onto the abutment inserted in the implant along the centerline. Corrosion attack at the interface of the alloys was evaluated according to the number of strikes used for joining the parts. Corrosion resistance was evaluated for the samples by open circuit potential measurements as function of time and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) and scanning ion selective electrode technique (SIET) in phosphate buffer solution with pH adjusted to 3.0, and into which hydrogen peroxide was added to simulate tissue inflammatory conditions. Samples were evaluated at the cross and longitudinal sections. Results indicated that the number of strikes used in assembling affected corrosion susceptibility. The lowest amount of corrosion products was associated to the highest number of strikes used. The corrosion resistance was related to the characteristics of the crevice between the implant and the abutment.

    Avaliação da resistência à corrosão da liga Ti-6Al-4V para implantes dentários em ambientes aerados e deaerados
    2021 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.
    O titânio e suas ligas são amplamente utilizados na odontologia, principalmente como implantes dentários, devido à sua biocompatibilidade e elevada resistência à corrosão. A resistência à corrosão do titânio ocorre pela formação de um filme fino de óxido passivo de TiO2 em contato com o oxigênio. Esta camada é aderente e estável na superfície, e capaz de atuar como barreira protetora entre o substrato e o meio corrosivo. No entanto, a literatura associa a peri-implantite a grandes aumentos de produtos de corrosão de titânio e suas ligas ao redor de implantes em presença da inflamação em comparação com implantes em pessoas saudáveis. Assim, é importante a identificação dos fatores presentes no microambiente peri-implantar que possam reduzir a resistência à corrosão do titânio. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar e simular condições inflamatórias in vitro a fim de determinar quais fatores afetam a resistência à corrosão de implantes dentários fabricados com a liga Ti-6Al-4V em solução tampão de fosfato (PBS) utilizada para simular o efeito dos fluidos corpóreos. Foram investigados os efeitos do peróxido de hidrogênio, presente em infecções orais, da albumina, a deaeração do meio (para simulação das condições de pO2 reduzida durante a inflamação) e de íons fluoreto, em solução de PBS com pH ajustados para 3,0, 4,5 e 7,0. Também foi investigada a resistência à corrosão de implantes com conexão do tipo cone Morse de Ti-6Al-4V conectado a um pilar protético de aço inoxidável 316L por meio da avaliação da influência do efeito da conexão mecânica por batidas (3, 5 e 7) no mecanismo de corrosão. A avaliação da resistência à corrosão da liga de titânio foi realizada por técnicas eletroquímicas e caracterização da superfície (MEV). Os resultados mostraram que as condições mais favoráveis ao ataque corrosivo da liga Ti-6Al-4V são a presença no meio de um forte oxidante (H2O2), do pH ácido (pH 3,0), seja em presença ou ausência de fluoreto, presença de proteína e deaeração do meio fisiológico. As condições mais agressivas são típicas de situações presentes em infecções peri-implantares e de condições de fresta. O estudo da conexão pilar-implante mostrou que na junção entre um implante de Ti-6Al-4V e o pilar protético de aço inoxidável 316 L, a condição de fresta entre as interfaces foi o fator predominante no mecanismo de corrosão prevalecendo sobre o efeito de acoplamento galvânico.

    2021 - KOTSAKIS, GEORGIOS A.; BLACK, RACHEL; KUM, JASON; BERBEL, LARISSA; SADR, ALI; KAROUSSIS, IOANNIS; SIMOPOULOU, MARA; DAUBERT, DIANE
    Background Peri-implantitis treatments are mainly based on protocols for teeth but have not shown favorable outcomes for implants. The potential role of titanium dissolution products in peri-implantitis necessitate the consideration of material properties in devising treatment protocols. We assessed implant cleaning interventions on (1) bacterial removal from Ti-bound biofilms, (2) Ti surface alterations and related Ti particle dissolution, and (3) cytocompatibility. Methods Acid-etched Ti discs were inoculated with human peri-implant plaque biofilms and mechanical antimicrobial interventions were applied on the Ti-bound biofilms for 30 seconds each: (1) rotary nylon brush; (2) Ti brush; (3) water-jet on high and (4) low, and compared to sterile, untreated and Chlorhexidine-treated controls. We assessed colony forming units (CFU) counts, biofilm removal, surface changes via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Ti dissolution via light microscopy and Inductively-coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Biological effects of Ti particles and surfaces changes were assessed using NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and MG-63 osteoblastic cell lines, respectively. Results Sequencing revealed that the human biofilm model supported a diverse biofilm including known peri-implant pathogens. WJ and Nylon brush were most effective in reducing CFU counts (P < 0.01 versus control), whereas Chlorhexidine was least effective; biofilm imaging results were confirmatory. Ti brushes led to visible streaks on the treated surfaces, reduced corrosion resistance and increased Ti dissolution over 30 days of material aging as compared to controls, which increase was amplified in the presence of bacteria (all P-val < 0.05). Ti particles exerted cytotoxic effects against fibroblasts, whereas surfaces altered by Ti brushes exhibited reduced osteoconductivity versus controls (P < 0.05). Conclusions Present findings support that mechanical treatment strategies selected for implant biofilm removal may lead to Ti dissolution. Ti dissolution should become an important consideration in the clinical selection of peri-implantitis treatments and a necessary criterion for the regulatory approval of instruments for implant hygiene.

    Modifications of titanium and zirconium alloy surfaces for use as dental implants
    2020 - LEITE, DANIELA M.C.; ALENCAR, MAICON C. de; MUCSI, CRISTIANO S.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; TAVARES, LUIZ A.; BERBEL, LARISSA O.; ARANHA, LUIS C.; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.
    The use of dental implants of titanium and its alloys has proved to be effective, through well established and documented parameters, both in the dimensions and in the manufacturing processes and also in the surgical techniques. There are clinical situations where there is a need to reduce the diameter of the implants, below 3.75 mm in diameter. In the current state of art of the implant technology it is desirable that these also have surfaces capable of decreasing the period of osseointegration. In the present work, to improve the mechanical strength of the material, an alloy of 80% of Ti and 20% of Zr % in mass was proposed and elaborated, aiming its use as biomaterial. Physical, chemical, microstructural and mechanical characterization was carried out. The surfaces of the treated samples were observed using: scanning electron microscopy (SEM); semi quantitatively chemically analyzed using dispersive energy spectroscopy (EDS: wettability of the samples was determined and, finally, the roughness was measured using optical profilometry. For the conditions used in the present work, it was concluded, that the best surface treatment for the TiZr 80/20 alloy was acid etching with 1% vol. hydrofluoric acid for 5 minutes, as this treatment presented the most prominent results of wettability and roughness simultaneously.

    Effect of galvanic coupling between titanium alloy and stainless steel on behavior of corrosion of dental implants
    2020 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; MICELLI, ANA L.; ROSSI, JESUALDO; NIGRO, FREDERICO; ARANHA, LUIS C.; COSTA, ISOLDA
    Titanium and its alloys are widely used in dental implant manufacturing due its favorable properties, such as, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance. This last one, is a result of the ability of titanium to form an oxide film (TiO2) in contact with oxygen. However, a several factors can accelerate the corrosion process of implants in contact with the oral environment, such as, acidification of the medium, differential aeration, inflammatory conditions, presence of protein and the junction of diferent metals. The goals of this research is to investigate the corrosion effect of galvanic coupling between titanium alloy (grade V) and stainless steel 316L. The investigative technique adopted was the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) in phosphate buffer solution simulating inflammatory conditions. The results showed detrimental effects of acidity of the environment, induced by inflammatory conditions, accelerate the oxidation of Ti-6Al-4V. SVET maps and SEM images for the junction of the different metals showed that the region with the highest electrochemical activity it is at the interface between the metals, mostly concentrated on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, depending on the conditions of the medium.
