Item Biocomposite macrospheres based on strontium-bioactive glass for application as bone fillers(American Chemical Society) Oliveira, Ivone Regina de; Gonçalves, Isabela dos Santos; Santos, Kennedy Wallace dos; Lança, Maria Carmo; Vieira, Tânia; Silva, Jorge Carvalho; Cengiz, Ibrahim Fatih; Reis, Rui Luís; Oliveira, Joaquim Miguel; Borges, João Paulo Miranda RibeiroTraditional bioactive glass powders are typically composed of irregular particles that can be packed into dense configurations presenting low interconnectivity, which can limit bone ingrowth. The use of novel biocomposite sphere formulations comprising bioactive factors as bone fillers are most advantageous, as it simultaneously allows for packing the particles in a 3-dimensional manner to achieve an adequate interconnected porosity, enhanced biological performance, and ultimately a superior new bone formation. In this work, we develop and characterize novel biocomposite macrospheres of Sr-bioactive glass using sodium alginate, polylactic acid (PLA), and chitosan (CH) as encapsulating materials for finding applications as bone fillers. The biocomposite macrospheres that were obtained using PLA have a larger size distribution and higher porosity and an interconnectivity of 99.7%. Loose apatite particles were observed on the surface of macrospheres prepared with alginate and CH by means of soaking into a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 days. A dense apatite layer was formed on the biocomposite macrospheres’ surface produced with PLA, which served to protect PLA from degradation. In vitro investigations demonstrated that biocomposite macrospheres had minimal cytotoxic effects on a human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS-2 cells). However, the accelerated degradation of PLA due to the degradation of bioactive glass may account for the observed decrease in SaOS-2 cells viability. Among the biocomposite macrospheres, those composed of PLA exhibited the most promising characteristics for their potential use as fillers in bone tissue repair applications.Item Properties of strontium-containing BG 58S produced by alkali-mediated sol-gel process(Elsevier) Oliveira, Ivone Regina de; Barbosa, Ana Maria; Santos, Kennedy Wallace dos; Lança, Maria Carmo; Lima, Maria Margarida Rolim Augusto; Vieira, Tânia; Silva, Jorge Carvalho; Borges, João PauloAmong many bioglass (BG) compositions, gel-BG 58S has been indicated in the literature for applications as bone graft due to its promising use to repair bone defects. However, its physical and biological properties also depend of choice of precursors. The use of phosphoric acid as a source of P2O5 changes the thermal behavior of BG and in the presence of HNO3 increases the rate of hydrolysis and reduces the size of sol particles, thus influencing the surface area and in turn rate of apatite formation of bioactive glasses. In addition, the addition of concentrated NH4OH decreases the gelation time and new bioactive materials have been produced using Ca/Sr substitution in BG compositions. Thus, the aim of this work was to prepare BG 58S by the sol-gel technique at room temperature using phosphoric acid (PA) as the phosphorus precursor compared with conventional precursor triethylphosphate (TEP) and to evaluate the effect of the adding NH4OH (1 or 2 M) as gelation catalyst in order to select the better route to Sr incorporate. The products were characterized using XRD, FTIR and confocal Raman spectroscopy. The composition prepared with 1M NH4OH (PA-1M) presented more evidence of NBO bonds, and the absence of crystallinity. Thus, BG 58S-5 wt% Sr was prepared using the alkali-mediated sol-gel process (PA-1M) and characterized as the techniques mentioned in addition to bioactivity and cytotoxicity assays. Both compositions showed the development of a layer of apatite when treated in a simulated body fluid (SBF). Strontium composition showed higher cell viability and more evidence of calcium phosphate formation while calcium carbonate is mainly identified in strontium-free composition.Item Calcium Aluminate Cement Blends Containing Bioactive Glass and Strontium for Biomaterial Applications(SciELO) Barbosa, Ana Margarida; Santos, Kennedy Wallace dos; Gonçalves, Irene S.; Leite, Priscila Maria Sarmeiro Corrêa Marciano; Martorano, Antonio Secco; Grisote, Gabriela; Raucci, Larissa Moreira Spinola de Castro; Oliveira, Paulo Tambasco de; Raniero, Leandro José; Oliveira, Ivone Regina deIn this work blends based on calcium aluminate cement (CAC) containing bioactive glass (BG) (5, 7.5 and 10 wt%) and strontium oxide (1 wt%) were produced aiming improve their bioactivity and the capacity to stimulate the bone regeneration. In the first part, the blends containing only BG were characterized as theoretical density, microhardness, uniaxial cold crush strength after SBF and apparent porosity and pore size distribution before and after SBF treatment. In the second part, bioactivity and cell culture tests were also conducted in the blends containing BG and strontium oxide. The addition of 7.5 wt% of BG in homogeneous calcium aluminate cement (CH) improved its mechanical properties as microhardness and uniaxial cold crushing strength. The blends were more bioactive due to the presence of a highly soluble amorphous phase as confirmed by means of SEM/EDX mainly for 7.5 wt% BG without and with Sr from 1 day in SBF. FTIR analyses indicated the formation the apatite-like phase by means of increase of intensity of the PO43- peaks after SBF treatment. All blends allowed the development of the osteoblastic phenotype and the formation of mineralized matrix increased due to the inclusion of BG and Sr promoting the osteogenesis process.Item Strontium- and bioactive glass-enriched dentin repair cement: Mechanical performance and physicochemical characteristics(Elsevier) Tavella-Silva, Nathalia Cristina; Raucci, Larissa Moreira Spinola Castro; Polizeli, Victor Miguel; Miranda, Carlos Eduardo Saraiva; Oliveira, Ivone Regina de; Raucci Neto, WalterThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of strontium (Sr2+) and varying concentrations of bioactive glass (BG) on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement (CAC). The experimental groups included: control (CAC); CAC with 5 wt% BG (CAC5); CAC with 10 wt% BG (CAC10); CAC with 1 wt% Sr2+ (CAC-Sr); CAC5 with 1 wt% Sr2+ (CAC5-Sr); and CAC10 with 1 wt% Sr2+ (CAC10-Sr). Setting time (ST), solubility (SL), pH, electrical conductivity (CON), total dissolved solids (TDS), calcium ion release (Ca2+), radiopacity (RAD), surface roughness (SR), and bond strength (BS) were evaluated using cement discs. ST and RAD were assessed in freshly prepared samples. SL was determined by measuring the weight change of the specimens after seven days of water immersion. pH, CON, TDS, and Ca2+ were quantified in the immersion solutions. SR was measured after 7 and 28 days in water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and BS was evaluated using the push-out test. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test (α = 0.05). BG incorporation significantly reduced ST, whereas Sr2+ had no effect. All groups showed mass gain. No significant differences in pH were observed among groups. CAC and CAC5 exhibited higher Ca2+ release than CAC-Sr and CAC5-Sr (p < 0.05). No differences in RAD were found. BS increased with the addition of BG and Sr2+, except in the CAC10-Sr group. Sr2+ enhanced BS in CAC (p < 0.001), but not in CAC5. Failure modes were predominantly mixed and cohesive. In conclusion, BG improved bond strength and reduced setting time, while Sr2+ had no significant effect on the physicochemical properties of the cement.
