Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): Which Perspectives in Implant Dentistry?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are ordered organic films formed by adsorption of an active organic coating on a solid surface. Their formation provides an alternative, highly innovative, to current traditional chemical treatments of the titanium surfaces. For this reason the structural phases, the formation and the growth of SAMs is described from a surface science point of view. Particulars are given to SAMs on titanium concerning surface morphology, chemical composition and affinity of specific head group for Ti surfaces (silanes, siloxane, phosphonates and phosphates). Preparation, coating methodologies, limitations and techniques used for the characterization of SAMs are reported. For their physicochemical characteristics and micro-nano scale features some perspectives of using SAMs in biomedical application are outlined.

Self-Assembled Monolayers for Dental Implants
Implant-based therapy is a mature approach to recover the health conditions of patients affected by edentulism. Thousands of dental implants are placed each year since their introduction in the 80s. However, implantology faces challenges that require more research strategies such as new support therapies for a world population with a continuous increase of life expectancy, to control periodonta...
متن کاملEffect of Decorating Titanium with Different Self-Assembled Monolayers on the Electrodeposition of Calcium Phosphate
Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics are used in orthopedics and dentistry due to their excellent osseointegration and biocompatibility. The electrodeposition of CaP on titanium alloy covered with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was studied with respect to the influence of chain length, end-group charge, and anchoring group. SAMs with end-groups similar to the functional groups on the side chains ...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers: from ‘simple’ model systems to biofunctionalized interfaces
We review recent developments in the area of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their applications. First, we discuss issues related to the structure, the phase transitions, the phase diagram, and the growth dynamics. We explain how the internal degrees of freedom and the multiple interactions involved can lead to a fairly rich phase behaviour even for systems which are commonly considered ‘s...
متن کاملAssembling of Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Controlled by Self- Assembled Monolayers of Functional Coordinating or Chelating Trialkoxysilanes
Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have been assembled in films by using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules. SAMs were prepared by the reaction of organotrialkoxysilanes with surface silanol groups of silicon wafers. SAMs were prepared and their surface was decorated either by amine or thymine groups which have the ability to immobilize iron oxide nanoparticles as monolayers. These...
متن کاملFormation of Biotinylated Alkylthiolate Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
The formation of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) from novel biotinylated alkylthiols (BAT) and diluent triethyleneglycol (TEG) alkylthiols on gold has been accomplished using aqueous solvents. We compare the effects of aqueous and ethanolic solvents on the binding performance of mixed SAMs and the integrity of monolayers formed. We use cyclic voltammetry (CV) and fluorescence microscopy ...
