Age-dependent Degradation of the Protein Adsorption Capacity of Titanium

Abstract: Reported bone-implant contact percentages are far below the ideal 100%. We tested a hypothesis that the protein adsorption capability of titanium, which is critical to the process of osseointegration, changes over time before its use. Machined, acid-etched, and sandblasted surfaces were prepared and stored under dark ambient conditions for 3 days, 1 week, or 4 weeks. For all surfaces, protein adsorption decreased as the storage time increased, and their decreasing rates were dependent on titanium topography. A… Show more

“…This leads to an increase in hydrophobicity, which is considered an aging phenomenon 24,25) . It is also reported that the atomic percentage of carbon reaches 50 at% on hydrophobic titanium surfaces stored in air atmosphere 18,26) . The previous study showed that the specimens stored in air atmosphere more than 1 week had hydrophobicity 5) .…”

“…A series of studies revealed that osteoblast-affinity to titanium implants decreases over time. Furthermore, an implant biomechanical test demonstrated that the biomechanical strength of the bone-titanium integration for 4-week-old implants was less than half that for newly processed implants during the early healing stage at week 2 9,22) . This "aging-like change" of the biological potential of titanium may be one of the reasons why the currently used titanium implants never achieve the ideal complete osseointegration.…”

“…Acta Biomater Our previous studies demonstrated an increase in the occupancy of carbon and a reduction in osteoblast attachment and protein absorption on bulk titanium surfaces over storage-time in a sterile atmosphere after surface preparation including machining and acid-etching, which was termed the "biological aging of titanium" [32][33][34]. This time-dependent degradation of biological activity on the titanium surface was statistically correlated with an increase in the occupancy of carbon.…”
