Extensive Investigation on the Effect of Niobium Insertion on the Physical and Biological Properties of 45S5 Bioactive Glass for Dental Implant
Abstract
<p>Dental implants have emerged as one of the most consistent and predictable treatments in the oral surgery field. However, the placement of the implant is sometimes associated with bacterial infection leading to its loss. In this work, we intend to solve this problem through the development of a biomaterial for implant coatings based on 45S5 Bioglass<sup>®</sup> modified with different amounts of niobium pentoxide (Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>). The structural feature of the glasses, assessed by XRD and FTIR, did not change in spite of Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> incorporation. The Raman spectra reveal the Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> incorporation related to the appearance of NbO<sub>4</sub> and NbO<sub>6</sub> structural units. Since the electrical characteristics of these biomaterials influence their osseointegration ability, AC and DC electrical conductivity were studied by impedance spectroscopy, in the frequency range of 10<sup>2</sup>–10<sup>6</sup> Hz and temperature range of 200–400 K. The cytotoxicity of glasses was evaluated using the osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells line. The in vitro bioactivity studies and the antibacterial tests against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed that the samples loaded with 2 mol% Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> had the highest bioactivity and greatest antibacterial effect. Overall, the results showed that the modified 45S5 bioactive glasses can be used as an antibacterial coating material for implants, with high bioactivity, being also non-cytotoxic to mammalian cells.</p>
