The influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the surface modification of titanium implants and osseointegration is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of titanium dioxide (TiO2) to generate ROS in the presence of H2O2 and to determine whether any ROS thus generated play a role in osseointegration, as measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrolline- N-oxide (DMPO). We demonstrate that TiO2 together with H2O2 generated hydroxyl radicals (HO•), as shown by a time-dependent increase in the spin concentration of the ESR signal for the DMPO-OH spin adduct, indicating HO• generation. Interestingly, irradiated TiO2 with H2O2 generated the superoxide (O2•-), as shown by an increase in the spin concentration of the signal for the DMPO-OOH spin adduct, indicating O2•- generation during the period of irradiation (0–5 min). These results suggest that ROS generated from the TiO2 layer may be involved in creating appropriate conditions for the osseointegration of dental implants into alveolar bone tissues.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have wide commercial applications, owing to their small size; however, the biosafety of TiO2 NPs should be evaluated further. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of TiO2 NPs in the presence and absence of ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. TiO2 NPs did not significantly affect cell viability in the absence of UVA irradiation. Nonetheless, UVA-irradiated TiO2 NPs induced caspase-dependent apoptosis of HaCaT cells. Exposure of HaCaT cells to TiO2 NPs and UVA resulted in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP); both effects were not observed in the absence of UVA irradiation. An analysis of the relationship between LMP and ROS, using CA-074 as a cathepsin inhibitor or NAC as an antioxidant, showed that LMP stimulates ROS generation under these conditions. These results imply that LMP-dependent oxidative stress plays a critical role in the UVA phototoxicity of TiO2 NPs in HaCaT cells.
