Review of titanium surface modification techniques and coatings for antibacterial applications.
Acta Biomaterialia 2019 January 2
Implanted biomaterials play a key role in the current success of orthopedic and dental procedures. Pure titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for permanent implants in contact with bone. However, implant-related infections remain among the leading reasons for failure. The most critical pathogenic event in the development of infection on biomaterials is biofilm formation, which starts immediately after bacterial adhesion. In the last decade, numerous studies reported the ability of titanium surface modifications and coatings to minimize bacterial adhesion, inhibit biofilm formation and provide effective bacterial killing to protect implanted biomaterials. In the present review, the different strategies to prevent infection onto titanium surfaces are reported: surface modification and coatings by antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, inorganic antibacterial metal elements and antibacterial polymers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Implanted biomaterials play a key role in the current success of orthopedic and dental procedures. Pure titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for permanent implants in contact with bone. Microbial infection is one of the main causes of implant failure. Currently, the global infection risk is 2-5% in orthopedic surgery. Numerous solutions exist to render titanium surfaces antibacterial. The LBPS team is an expert on the functionalization of titanium surfaces by using bioactive polymers to improve the biologiocal response. In this review, the different strategies to prevent infection are reported onto titanium and titanium alloy surfaces such as surface modification by antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, inorganic antibacterial metal elements and antibacterial polymers.
