Chemotherapeutic agents have been used as an adjunct to mechanical debridement for peri-implantitis treatment. The present in vitro study evaluated and compared the effectiveness of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and chlorhexidine (CHX) at eliminating Gram-negative (E. coli and P. gingivalis) and Gram-positive (E. faecalis and S. sanguinis) bacteria. The effect of irrigating volume and exposure time on the antimicrobial efficacy of HOCl was evaluated, and a durability analysis was completed. Live/dead staining, morphology observation, alamarBlue assay, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) detection were examined on grit-blasted and biofilm-contaminated titanium alloy discs after treatment with the three chemotherapeutic agents. The results indicated that HOCl exhibited better antibacterial efficacy with increasing irrigating volumes. HOCl achieved greater antibacterial efficacy as treatment time was increased. A decrease in antimicrobial effectiveness was observed when HOCl was unsealed and left in contact with the air. All the irrigants showed antibacterial activity and killed the majority of bacteria on the titanium alloy surfaces of biofilm-contaminated implants. Moreover, HOCl significantly lowered the LPS concentration of P. gingivalis when compared with NaOCl and CHX. Thus, a HOCl antiseptic may be effective for cleaning biofilm-contaminated implant surfaces.

Purpose: SLM 3D printing technology is one of the most widely used implant-making technologies. However, the surfaces of the implants are relatively rough, and bacteria can easily adhere to them; increasing the risk of postoperative infection. Therefore, we prepared a near-infrared photoresponsive nano-TiO coating on the surface of an SLM 3D-printed titanium alloy sheet (Ti6Al4V) via a hydrothermal method to evaluate its antibacterial properties and biocompatibility.

In Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy micro-machining, since the uncut chip thickness (UCT) is comparable to the radius of the tool cutting edge, there exists a minimum uncut chip thickness (MUCT), and when the UCT is smaller than the MUCT, the plowing effect dominates the cutting process, which seriously affects the machined surface quality and tool life. Therefore, the reliable prediction of the MUCT is of great significance. This paper used Deform to establish an orthogonal cutting simulation model, studied the effect of the dead metal zone (DMZ) on the micro-cutting material flow, determined the DMZ range, and proposed a new method for determining the MUCT based on the DMZ.

The high-entropy alloy (HEA) has recently attracted significant interest due to its novel alloy design concept and exceptional mechanical properties, which may exhibit either a single or multi-phase structure. Specifically, refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEA) composed of titanium, niobium, and nickel-based HEA demonstrate remarkable mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Additive manufacturing (AM), specifically Direct Energy Deposition (DED), is efficient in fabricating high-entropy alloys (HEA) owing to its fast-cooling rates, which promote uniform microstructures and reduce defects.
