Impacts of platelet‐rich fibrin and platelet‐rich plasma on primary osteoblast adhesion onto titanium implants in a bisphosphonate in vitro model

Abstract

Background Osteoblast adhesion is a crucial step in osseointegration of dental implants and can be influenced by modification of implant surface or the addition of bioactive agents. Bisphosphonates affect bone turnover, attenuating bone healing in implants patients. PRP and PRF are sources of growth factors involved in osteoblast adhesion, improving subsequent bone healing. The aim of the study was to investigate the impacts of PRP and PRF on adhesion of bisphosphonate‐pretreated osteoblasts on titanium implant surfaces using the cell‐count wash assay, the MTT‐assay as well as real‐time‐cell analyser assay and scanning electronic microscopy. Methods Titanium implants were colonised for 24 hours with osteoblasts and zolendronic acid, PRP or PRF in different combinations. Afterwards, primary osteoblast adhesion was evaluated by counting the number of attached cells using a wash‐assay cell analysis. Scanning electronic microscopy was performed and evaluated semi‐quantitatively to assess the influence of the different groups on the ultrastructural cell morphology, such as cell size and shape as well as length and number of filopodia. Results Zoledronic acid led to a decrease of osteoblast adherence onto implant surface. This effect was reversed by adding PRP or PRF. Scanning electronic microscopy showed that both PRP and PRF increased number and length of filopodia in adherent osteoblasts. Conclusions Zoledronic acid decreased osteoblast adhesion on implant surfaces, and PRF as well as PRP increased primary adhesion of zoledronic acid‐treated osteoblasts on implant surfaces in vitro. Therefore, PRP and PRF may improve initial bone apposition and primary healing of dental implants in patients with bisphosphonate treatment.

“…PRP has been an emerging biologic tool in orthopedic surgery and regenerative medicine [ 4 , 5 ]. Initially, PRP was studied in bone repair as a method of improving union rate based on the pioneering work of Marx et al [ 6 ].…”

Combination of graphene oxide and platelet-rich plasma improves tendon–bone healing in a rabbit model of supraspinatus tendon reconstruction

“…It is thought that excess TGF-β1 may promote the formation of scar tissue; however, this phenomenon was not found in the subsequent in vivo experiments. PDGF-AB has been studied only rarely, but its isomer, PDGF-BB, has been shown to promote collagen synthesis and secretion, fibroblast growth and proliferation, and cell chemoattraction and differentiation [ 8 , 11 , 43 ]. The sustained release time of PDGF-AB also exceeded 14 days.…”

“…This is because cell adhesion is greatly associated with the surface morphology and composition of the implant. After implantation, biomaterial surfaces directly interacted with cells and tissues, substantially influencing a variety of cellular activities such as adhesion, spreading, migration, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as the result of tissue repair and regeneration . Therefore, the implant surface biological properties also should be considered during the development and design of implants as well as the suitable porous structure , and mechanical characteristics .…”
