In Vivo Assessment of Bone Enhancement in the Case of 3D-Printed Implants Functionalized with Lithium-Doped Biological-Derived Hydroxyapatite Coatings: A Preliminary Study on Rabbits

Abstract: We report on biological-derived hydroxyapatite (HA, of animal bone origin) doped with lithium carbonate (Li-C) and phosphate (Li-P) coatings synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) onto Ti6Al4V implants, fabricated by the additive manufacturing (AM) technique. After being previously validated by in vitro cytotoxicity tests, the Li-C and Li-P coatings synthesized onto 3D Ti implants were preliminarily investigated in vivo, by insertion into rabbits’ femoral condyles. The in vivo experimental model for test… Show more

“…Traditional production methods are difficult to realize the processing of complex structures [13][14][15]. Recently, the technology of additive manufacturing(AM) can perfectly solve the problem that complex parts are difficult to produce [16][17][18].…”

“…However, this method requires many steps and high temperature, and there is an organic residue. Other methods include electrostatic and covalent attachment [ 32 ], electrophoretic deposition [ 18 ], electrochemical deposition [ 33 ], biomimetic precipitation [ 34 ], physical vapor deposition techniques [ 35 , 36 ], and plasma spraying [ 37 ], among others. However, the coatings obtained using these methods have a thickness measured in micrometers and a non-porous structure.…”

“…In vitro tests play key-roles in the overall evaluation of a biomaterial by delivering important information on its potential behavior inside a living system. To better understand the complex processes occurring in a living environment and to deliver accurate data for the validation of the biomaterials' performances that target clinical trials, in vivo tests (using either animal or human models) are of key-importance and should, therefore, follow thorough in vitro acceptance [75].…”

“…The rabbit's bones manifest faster changes as compared to the case of larger animal models [115]. Considering the difficulties met when extrapolating the results obtained on rabbit bones to the human case, various screenings for implant design and validation of the tested materials are still needed to be performed [75], before their testing on larger animal models. Dog models are generally used for testing dental implants [116].…”
