PEM Anchorage on Titanium Using Catechol Grafting
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND This study deals with the anchorage of polyelectrolyte films onto titanium surfaces via a cathecol-based linker for biomedical applications. METHODOLOGY The following study uses a molecule functionalized with a catechol and a carboxylic acid: 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid. This molecule is anchored to the TiO(2) substrate via the catechol while the carboxylic acid reacts with polymers bearing amine groups. By providing a film anchorage of chemisorption type, it makes possible to deposit polyelectrolytes on the surface of titanium. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements show that the different steps of grafting have been successfully performed. CONCLUSIONS This method based on catechol anchorage of polyelectrolytes open a window towards large possibilities of clinical applications.

Locking versus nonlocking palmar plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
This study compared functional and radiological outcomes after treatment of extension-type distal radius fractures with conventional titanium nonlocking T-plates or titanium 1.5-mm locking plates. A total of 60 patients were included and followed for 4 to 7 years after receiving nonlocking T-plates (group A; n=30) or locking plates (group B; n=30) with and without dorsal bone grafting. Bone gra...

Layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique has been proved to be a highly effective method to immobilize the main components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen and hyaluronic acid on titanium-based implants and form a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film by electrostatic interaction. However, the formed PEM film is unstable in the physiological environment and affects the long-time...

Downward and backward rotation of the mandible and/or excessive eruption of posterior teeth often cause anterior open bite. Depending on the severity of the case, orthognathic surgery is often the treatment of choice due to the difficulty of establishing absolute anchorage of molars by using a traditional orthodontic mechanics. This article reports the successful treatment of a severe skeletal ...

This study was performed for the detection of cocarcinogens by transformation in vitro with the use of a subclone of a Balb/3T3 cell line. Dose response, cytotoxicity, and transformation studies were done with the use of an indirect-acting carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a direct-acting alkylating carcinogen, beta-propiolactone (BPL), and the mouse skin cocarcinogen catechol. The rate of tr...
