Statement Of Problem: Titanium is subject to corrosion in the oral cavity, which could contribute to periimplantitis. However, the effect of corrosion on the lipopolysaccharide affinity for titanium remains unknown.
Purpose: This study evaluated the role of corrosion (in artificial saliva at pHs 3, 6.5, and 9) on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affinity for commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
Material And Methods: Seventy-two titanium disks were anodically polarized in a controlled environment (n=9). Control specimens were not corroded. Deionized water with different concentrations of LPS (1.5, 15, and 150 μg/mL) were used to treat the disks for 24 hours to investigate LPS adherence (n=3). Then specimens were immersed in LPS-free water to evaluate LPS elution at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Data were analyzed by the 2-way, 3-way, and 3-way repeated measures ANOVA, t tests, and the Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) tests (α=.05).
Results: A greater corrosion rate of cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy and a higher LPS adherence to titanium surfaces (P<.05) were noted at acidic pH. The LPS affinity was higher for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy than for cp-Ti (P<.05). More LPS was eluted from titanium surfaces after a 24-hour interval.
Conclusion: Lipopolysaccharide affinity for cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy is influenced by the corrosion process.

This investigation demonstrates the effect of alkali modification of titanium on the metabolism of human osteoblasts. Polished titanium discs were subjected to alkalinization protocols with NaOH (5M) at 60°C or 120°C. Surface topography and roughness were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Background: Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) and titanium alloys have been used for orthopaedic implants for decades. However, recent evidence has shown that inflammatory cell-induced corrosion (ICIC) can damage these metal alloys. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of ICIC by coculturing macrophages with lymphocytes.

Magnesium alloys have been used to manufacture biodegradable implants, bone graft substitutes, and cardiovascular stents. WE43 was the most widely used magnesium alloy. The degradation process begins when the magnesium alloy stent is implanted in the body and comes into contact with body fluid.

Macrophages play a central role in immunological responses to metallic species associated with the localized corrosion of metallic implants, and mediating in peri-implant inflammations. Herein, the pathways of localized corrosion-macrophage interactions were systematically investigated on 316L stainless steel (SS) implant metals. Electrochemical monitoring under macrophage-mediated inflammatory conditions showed a decreased pitting corrosion resistance of 316L SSs in the presence of RAW264.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS-RNS) and the corrosion of biodegradable magnesium (Mg) materials, specifically looking at how inflammatory macrophages interact with these materials.
- Mg foils implanted for 24 hours showed increased proinflammatory macrophage activity, leading to enhanced corrosion, particularly in Mg discs compared to AZ61 discs.
- Results suggest that the inflammatory environment alters the corrosion properties of biodegradable Mg, impacting its viability and performance in biomedical applications, regardless of the body's natural antioxidant defenses.
