Artigo IPEN-doc 29080 Corrosion mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V morse taper dental implants connected to 316 L stainless steel prosthetic abutment2022 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; MICELLI, ANA L.P.; NIGRO, FREDERICO; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.; COSTA, ISOLDAThe 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.Artigo IPEN-doc 27833 Effect of implant cleaning on titanium particle dissolution and cytocompatibility2021 - KOTSAKIS, GEORGIOS A.; BLACK, RACHEL; KUM, JASON; BERBEL, LARISSA; SADR, ALI; KAROUSSIS, IOANNIS; SIMOPOULOU, MARA; DAUBERT, DIANEBackground 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.
