Antibacterial Potential

During the last decades, researchers have been growing the interest in surface treatment with an antimicrobial agent. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in biomedical fields due to their potent antimicrobial activity. So, in this study was investigated silver particles (isles) coated on titanium surface for dental and orthopedic application. Silver particles coating process on titanium surface were performed via sputtering that is a plasma-assisted deposition technique with and titanium without treatment was applied as comparing standard. Plasma treatment parameters were optimized so that the result was not a thin film of Ag but dispersed particles of Ag on the Ti-cp surface. The alloy surfaces were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In order to investigate antibacterial potential Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli have been used at Agar diffusion assay. The results were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) in order to verify significant difference antimicrobial activity between samples that have shown no difference between the surfaces studied treatments. For silver deposition scattered particles (isles) over titanium surface for a 10-minute treatment, EDS revealed by silver clusters that the particles were not properly scattered onto surface, hence, the low effectiveness in antibacterial activity.

The osseointegration is the stable and functional union between the bone and a titanium surface. A new bone can be found on the surface of the implant about 1 week after its installation; the bone remodeling begins between 6 and 12 weeks and continues throughout life. After the implant insertion, depending on the energy of the surface, the plasma fluid immediately adheres, in close contact with the surface, promoting the adsorption of proteins and inducing the indirect interaction of the cells with the material. Macrophages are cells found in the tissues and originated from bone marrow monocytes. The M1 macrophages orchestrate the phagocytic phase in the inflammatory region and also produce inflammatory cytokines involved with the chronic inflammation and the cleaning of the wound and damaged tissues from bacteria. On the other hand, alternative-activated macrophages (M2) are activated by IL-10, the immune complex. Its main function consists on regulating negatively the inflammation through the secretion of the immunosuppressant IL-10. The M2 macrophages present involvement with the immunosuppression, besides having a low capacity for presenting antigens and high production of cytokines; these can be further divided into M2a, M2b, and M2c, based on the gene expression profile.
