Abstract:

Background:
Dental implants and abutments are exposed to challenging oral environment. Corrosion of these materials can affect the overall performance of titanium implants.
Purpose:
To investigate the effects of biofilm-induced bio-aging on corrosion behavior of different implant materials surface.
Materials and methods:
Commercial polished titanium (Polish), sand-blasted, large grit, acid-etched surface treated titanium (SLA), microarc oxidation (MAO), and hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium were bio-aged with saliva biofilm for 30 days. Titanium surfaces topography, chemical composition, roughness, and water contact angle changes were evaluated. In addition, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) adhesion, Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) biofilm formation were determined.
Results:
Surface topography, roughness, and chemical composition have no significant changes for all groups after bio-aging (P > .05). Water contact angle of bio-aged SLA was greatly increased (P < .05). While other groups showed no sign of change (P > .05). Adhesion and proliferation of HGFs on the bio-aged SLA titanium surfaces were decreased (P < .05), but increased on bio-aged Polish and HA titanium (P < .05). S. sanguinis biofilm viability was promoted with bio-aging in HA group (P < .05).
Conclusions:
Biological characteristics of Polish, SLA, and HA titanium surfaces were influenced by bio-aging. While MAO group was relatively resistant to saliva biofilm bio-aging.
