Synthesis and sintering of B, Sr, Mg multi-doped hydroxyapatites: Structural, mechanical and biological characterization

2021-03-01
Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) is the main constituent mineral of bone and teeth in mammals. Due to its outstanding biocompatibility and osteoconductive capabilities, it is preferred for bone repair and replacement. Owing to high potential to have excellent biological properties, ternary ions-doped HAs have just begun to be investigated in the biomedical field and preparing multi-doped HAs is a fairly new approach. Boron (B, BO33-), strontium (Sr, Sr2+) and magnesium (Mg, Mg2+) provide a beneficial effect on bone growth, bone strength, biocompatibility and positively affect bone microstructure. The motivation of this study is taking advantages of the potential of the combine effects of these bivalent ions. In this study, 8 different compositions of BO33- , Sr2+, Mg2+ multi-doped HAs were synthesized by microwave irradiation method to investigate the structural, mechanical and biological features of bone substitutes. This is the first time we report the effect of boron, strontium and magnesium ions multi-doping on the structure of HA and its biological properties. Samples were sintered at 700, 900 and 1100 degrees C. The effect of varying ion contents and sintering temperature on structural and biological properties of the multi-doped samples was investigated. B, Sr and Mg ions were successfully doped into the HA structure according to X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. A biphasic structure was obtained with increasing amount of ion-doping. Increasing the sintering temperature affected the crystallinity and the density of the samples gradually. Vicker's microhardness and diametral strength of the samples increased at high sintering temperatures. B-Sr-Mg multi-doped HA promoted osteoblast-like Saos-2 cell proliferation, and as the sintering temperatures of the samples increased, the osteogenic differentiation level of the cultured cells also increased. Overall, results showed that the biological properties of HA were improved with the doping of Sr, Mg and B ions, and for bone implant applications samples sintered at 1100 degrees C were suggested to have potential as a biomaterial.

Manufacture of macroporous calcium hydroxyapatite bioceramics
Engin, NO; Tas, AC (1999-01-01)
Trabecular bones of almost all vertebrate organisms basically consist of macroporous (55-70% interconnected porosity) bone mineral, i.e. calcium hydroxyapatite (HA: Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)). The macroporosity observed in the trabecular bones then allows the ingrowth of the soft tissues and organic cells into the bone matrix. Sub-micron, chemically uniform, and high phase-purity HA powders produced in our laboratory were mixed, under vigorous ultrasonification, with methyl cellulose of appropriate amounts in th...

In the present study, undoped whitlockite and ZnO doped-Whitlockite, which is the second most abundant inorganic material in bone structure, were synthesized from sea urchin skeleton. The obtained bioceramic ma-terials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and SEM and their antibacterial activities were determined using the inhibition zone diameters of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as gram negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacterium after 24 h incubation. The characteriz...
Synthesis and characterization of pure and Mg, Cu, Ag, and Sr doped calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite from brushite as precursor using the dissolution-precipitation method
Lakrat, Mohammed; Jodati, Hossein; Mejdoubi, El Miloud; Evis, Zafer (2023-01-01)
Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) is an attractive biomaterial for medical applications due to its similarity with the mineral part of bones. This study presents, for the first time, the preparation of CDHA form brushite as a starting precursor through dissolution-precipitation process. To further enhance its potential in vivo performance, CDHA was doped with some biologically relevant ions such as Mg2+, Sr2+, Cu2+, and Ag+. X-ray diffraction and ATR-FTIR analyses indicated that the samples were poorl...
Improving gelation properties of fish gelatin by nonthermal processes
Sezer, Pürlen; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Gelatin is mostly obtained from skin, bone or connective tissues of bovine or porcine land animals. Gelatin is commonly used in confectionery products as the main gelling agent and as a hydrocolloid and stabilizer in liquid food systems. Due to religious preferences, helal gelatin has started to be very common in Middle Eastern countries and bovine gelatin is mainly utilized for that purpose. Gelatin could also be obtained from fish which is very abundant in nature however it has weak gelation ability. Ther...
Synthesis of Selenium-Incorporated Alpha-Tricalcium Phosphate and Evaluation of Its Cement-Type Reactivity
Baştuğ Azer, Bersu; Durucan, Caner (2018-12-01)
Alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is a promising hard tissue analog due to its cement-type hydraulic conversion to the mineral component (calcium deficient hydroxyapatite, CDHAp) of natural bone tissue. A variety of different inorganic and organic agents can be incorporated to α-TCP in order to enhance its therapeutic and regenerative properties. In this study, an ionic incorporation - selenium (Se) - was accomplished to impart anti-carcinogenic property to α-TCP. Se-incorporated α-TCP (α-TCP:Se) was obtai...
