“…The most common application in these fields are as "bone cement", acting as a filler for bone losses, or as a "glue" between bone and prosthetic/orthopedic implants [3]. Orthodontic implants made of PMMA cements can also be used as long term bone-substitutes in load bearing applications, if the load is not excessive [4].…”

Following the rising interested on 3D-printed technologies, this research explores the possibility to use stereo-lithography to 3D print PMMA resins reinforced with up to 15% in weight of antibacterial ceramic powders. Three different reinforcements were tested, following previous literature data: aluminum nitride, titanium oxide and barium titanate. Between the three powders, the most uniform dispersion was achieved using aluminum nitride. Initial screenings with mixed and cured composite resins showed that between the three composite materials, only aluminum nitride or barium titanate PMMA showed a clear antibacterial effect when compared to the pristine reference, with aluminum nitride being the most effective against E. coli. When 3D printed using stereo-lithography, the composite containing aluminum nitride showed an even higher degree of dispersion and comparable antibacterial effects. Moreover, aluminum nitride reinforced PMMA resins showed good mechanical properties, comparable to the basic resin, and could be further strengthened by a standard post-curing process.

“…PMMA cements are hydrophobic and exhibit weak adhesion to bone, especially in wet environments. In general, PMMA is encapsulated by fibrous rather than hard tissue, forming mechanical interlocks with the porous bone in which the cement is placed . Adverse tissue responses have hardly been reported for PMMA‐based adhesives .…”

Each year, millions of people suffer from complex bone fractures which require proper external or internal fixation. This fixation is usually achieved by means of devices such as plates, pins, and screws. These traditional fixation strategies are associated with severe drawbacks, which have prompted research and development of a variety of bone‐adhesive biomaterials as alternative. However, a clinically applicable bone‐adhesive biomaterial—in the form of a bone‐glue or bone‐adhesive membrane—that meets all requirements has not yet been identified. This perspective article discusses the current state of the art of bone‐adhesive materials with a particular focus on their clinical requirements, mechanisms of action, and future perspective. To develop adhesive biomaterials with specific affinity to bone tissue, a more rational design should be implemented. This perspective article is intended as a starting point and inspiration for future research and development of suitable bone‐adhesive materials.

“…They help in sealing or fixing and casting the filling substance to both the dentin and enamel. Most of these materials are hard and/or brittle because the load-bearing polymer composites include metallic or ceramic fillers that are hardened by an acid–base reaction [ 17 ] or polymerization [ 18 ].…”

Advances in medical adhesives inspired by aquatic organisms’ adhesion

In biomedicine, adhesives for hard and soft tissues are crucial for various clinical purposes. However, compared with that under dry conditions, adhesion performance in the presence of water or moisture is dramatically reduced. In this review, representative types of medical adhesives and the challenging aspects of wet adhesion are introduced. The adhesion mechanisms of marine mussels, sandcastle worms, and endoparasitic worms are described, and stemming from the insights gained, designs based on the chemistry of molecules like catechol and on coacervation and mechanical interlocking platforms are introduced in the viewpoint of translating these natural adhesion mechanisms into synthetic approaches.
