Abstract
Osteoconductive ceramics (OCs) are often used to endow polylactic acid (PLA) with osseointegration ability. Conventionally, OC powder is dispersed in PLA. However, considering cell attachment to the implant, OCs may be more favorable when they exist in the form of aggregations, such as granules, and are larger than the cells rather than being dispersed like a powder. In this study, to clarify the effects of the dispersion state of OCs on the osseointegration ability, carbonate apatite (CAp), a bone mineral analog that is osteoconductive and bioresorbable, powder–PLA (P-PLA), and CAp granule–PLA (G-PLA) composite implants were fabricated via thermal pressing. The powder and granule sizes of CAp were approximately 1 and 300–600 µm, respectively. G-PLA exhibited a higher water wettability and released calcium and phosphate ions faster than P-PLA. When cylindrical G-PLA, P-PLA, and PLA were implanted in rabbit tibial bone defects, G-PLA promoted bone maturation compared to P-PLA and pure PLA. Furthermore, G-PLA bonded directly to the host bone, whereas P-PLA bonded across the osteoid layers. Consequently, the bone-to-implant contact of G-PLA was 1.8- and 5.6-fold higher than those of P-PLA and PLA, respectively. Furthermore, the adhesive shear strength of G-PLA was 1.9- and 3.0-fold higher than those of P-PLA and PLA, respectively. Thus, G-PLA achieved earlier and stronger osseointegration than P-PLA or PLA. The findings of this study highlight the significance of the state of dispersion of OCs in implants as a novel strategy for material development.
期刊介绍：
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
