Electrochemical Influence of Collagen Piezoelectric Effect in Bone Healing

Abstract: Bone healing and growth are controlled by the rate of deposition of hidroxiapatite (HA). This process have been so far accredited to the work of osteoblasts, which are attracted by the electrical dipoles produced either by piezoelectricity, due to deformation of the bone, specially the collagen in it, or due to outside electrical stimuli. The present work shows that even without osteoblasts present, the piezoelectric dipoles produced by deformed collagen, can produce the precipitation of HA by electrochemical … Show more

“…In addition to inorganic piezoelectric materials, organic piezoelectric materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride possess the ability to convert mechanical stress into electricity, and represent the most widely available piezoelectric polymer in functional materials and devices due to their physical characteristics of transparency and mechanical flexibility [45,84,90,[170][171][172][173][174][175]. In addition, specific biomaterials, such as collagen, exhibit piezoelectric properties which have been linked to the promotion of healing and reconstruction, due to the polar uniaxial orientation of molecular dipoles in the structure [10,85,[176][177][178].…”

“…The deformed internal and external sides correspond to the faces subject to compression and tension, respectively. [85]. In addition, piezoelectricity can also be found in different parts of living body, such as deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA), cartilage, tendon, dentin, ligaments, skin, as well as cell membranes, which plays a significant role in physiological phenomena for the living body [187][188][189].…”

“…Noris-Suarez have reported bone healing due to piezoelectricity. 86 Bone healing and growth are controlled by the rate of deposition of hydroxyapatite (HA) and their work showed that the piezoelectric dipoles produced by deformed collagen can produce the necessary precipitation of HA. Therefore there is scope to harvest biomechanical motion for enhanced bone growth.…”

“…The piezoelectric effect determines the construction of anatomical bone structures. The piezoelectric effect in bones is also used in the treatment of osteoporosis, where the noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation prevents bone loss by inducing currents, that stimulate bone formation [2][3][4].…”
