The ultrashort 30 fs laser pulses (790 nm wavelength) penetrate a thin dip-coated layer of fine ceramic powder, while simultaneously melting a surface layer of the underlying metal. The specific adjustment of the laser parameters (pulse energy and number of pulses per spot) avoids unnecessary melting of the bioactive calcium phosphate, and permits a defined thin surface melting of the metal, which in turn is not heated throughout, and therefore maintains its mechanical stability. It is essential to choose laser energy densities that correspond to the interval between the ablation fluences of both materials involved: about 0.1-0.4 J cm-2. In this work, we present the first results of this unusual technique, including laser ablation studies, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscope images, combined with EDX data.

T1 - Osteoclastic bioresorption of biomaterials: Two- and three-dimensional imaging and quantification N2 - Purpose: Bioresorbable materials have been developed in the hope that the body will replace them with newly formed tissue. The first step of this remodeling process in bone is the bioresorption of the material by osteoclasts. The aim of this study was to analyze osteoclastic resorption of biomaterials in vitro using the commonly used two-dimensional methods of light-microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in comparison with infinite focus microscopy (IFM), a recently developed imaging method allowing for three-dimensional surface analysis. Methods: Human hematopoietic stem cells were cultivated in the presence of the cytokines M-CSF and RANK-L for 4 weeks directly on dentin and a calcium phosphate cement. Osteoclast development was surveyed with standard techniques. After removal of the cells, resorption was characterized and quantified by LM, SEM and IFM. Results: Osteoclast cultures on the biomaterials presented the typical osteoclast-specific markers. On dentin samples LM, SEM as well as IFM allowed for discrimination of resorption. Quantification of the resorbed area showed a linear correlation between the results (LM vs. SEM: r=0.996, p=0.004; SEM vs. IFM: r=0.989, p=0.011; IFM vs. LM: r=0.995). It was not possible to demarcate resorption pits on GB14 using LM or SEM. With IFM, resorption on GB14 could be visualized and quantified two- and three-dimensionally.

T1 - Volumetric analysis of osteoclastic bioresorption of calcium phosphate ceramics with different solubilities N2 - Commonly, to determine osteoclastic resorption of biomaterials only the resorbed area is measured. The depth of the resorption pit, however, may also be important for the performance of a material. To generate such data we used two calcium phosphate ceramics (Ca10 and Ca2). The solubility of the materials was determined according to DIN EN ISO 10993-14. They were scanned three-dimensionally using infinite focus microscopy and subsequently cultivated for 4 weeks in simulated body fluid without (control) or with human osteoclasts. After this cultivation period osteoclasts number was determined and surface changes were evaluated two- and three-dimensionally. Ca10 and Ca2 showed solubilities of 11.0 ± 0.5 and 23.0 ± 2.2 mg g-1, respectively. Both materials induced a significant increase in osteoclast number. While Ca10 did not show osteoclastic resorption, Ca2 showed an increased pit area and pit volume due to osteoclastic action. This was caused by an increased average pit depth and an increased number of pits, while the average area of single pits did not change significantly. The deduced volumetric osteoclastic resorption rate (vORR) of Ca2 (0.01–0.02 µm3 µm-2 day-1) was lower than the remodelling speed observed in vivo (0.08 µm3 µm-2 day-1), which is in line with the observation that implanted resorbable materials remain in the body longer than originally expected. Determination of volumetric indices of osteoclastic resorption might be valuable in obtaining additional information about cellular resorption of bone substitute materials. This may help facilitate the development of novel materials for bone substitution.

T1 - Structural and spectroscopic characterization of a series of potassium- and/or sodium-substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate N2 - In this paper, we report X-ray diffraction investigations as well as Raman and solid-state 31P and 23Na magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization of three series of calcium orthophosphates. The general formulae of the studied compounds are Ca10.5-x/2Mx(PO4)7, where M = K or Na and x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0; and Ca10KxNa1-x(PO4)7, where x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0. These calcium orthophosphates are found to be isostructural with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, Ca3(PO4)2) with the substitution of some calcium sites by potassium and/or sodium cations. The unit cell parameters vary continuously with the level of substitution, a characteristic of these solid solutions. The Raman spectra show the different vibrational bands of the phosphate groups PO4, while the NMR chemical shifts are sensitive to the non-equivalent phosphorus and sodium ions present in these substituted samples. As both Raman and NMR spectroscopies are local probes, they offer tools to distinguish between these different phosphorus and phosphate groups, according to their structural site and local environment, especially the type of cation substituent. A convenient decomposition of the Raman and NMR spectra into Gaussian–Lorentzian components leads us to propose an assignment of the main observed bands of these substituted β-TCPs.

This enables the formation of a firm and durable connection of the prosthesis with the living bone. We present a new method to uniformly cover Ti6Al4V with a thin layer of ceramics that imitates bone material. These calcium alkali phosphates, called GB14 and Ca10, are applied to the metal by dip coating of metal plates into an aqueous slurry containing the fine ceramic powder. The dried samples are illuminated with the 790 nm radiation of a pulsed femtosecond laser. If the laser fluence is set to a value just below the ablation threshold of the ceramic (ca. 0.4 J/cm²) the 30 fs laser pulses penetrate the partly transparent ceramic layer of 20–40 µm thickness. The remaining laser fluence at the ceramic–metal interface is still high enough to generate a thin metal melt layer leading to the ceramic fixation on the metal. The laser processing step is only possible because Ti6Al4V has a lower ablation threshold (between 0.1 and 0.15 J/cm²) than the ceramic material. After laser treatment in a fluence range between 0.1 and 0.4 J/cm², only the particles in contact with the metal withstand a post-laser treatment (ultrasonic cleaning). The non-irradiated rest of the layer is washed off. In this work, we present results of a successful ceramic fixation extending over larger areas. This is fundamental for future applications of arbitrarily shaped implants.

T1 - Inhibition of Mineralization by a Calcium Zirconium Phosphate Coating N2 - Bioactive ceramics used as coating materials combine the conductive properties of a bioceramic with the mechanical stability of the metal implant. We studied a calcium zirconium phosphate-containing coating material, FA-CZP [Ca5(PO4)3F, CaZr4(PO4)6], that is relatively insoluble in the biological milieu. The reaction of bone to this material was investigated histologically and histomorphometrically in an animal trial. Cylindrical Ti6Al4V specimens that had been coated with FA-CZP by plasma spraying were implanted in the femoral condyles of rabbits. The implants were left in place for 2, 4, 6, 12, and 14 weeks. FA-CZP led to impaired mineralization of the newly formed bone at the interface. Noncalcified osteoid was found throughout the whole study period. The layer seemed to become thicker with time. The mineralization disorder is evidently caused by zirconium ions. The presence of zirconium in the osteoid in contact with the implant was demonstrated by means of two different staining methods.
