The antibacterial effects of zinc ion migration from zinc-based glass polyalkenoate cements

Abstract: Zinc-based glass polyalkenoate cements have been synthesised and their potential use in orthopaedic applications investigated. Zinc ions were released from the materials in a rapid burst over the first 24 h after synthesis, with the release rate falling below detectable levels after 7 days. Cement-implanted bone samples were prepared and the released zinc was shown, using energy dispersive X-ray analysis, to penetrate from the cement into the adjacent bone by up to 40 µm. Finally, the cements exhibited antibac… Show more

“…Critically, this composition, in particular the inclusion of Zn in the structure, explicates the lack of crystallinity associated with the formation of the apatite layers observed on Zn-GPCs after immersion in SBF [1,9]. Zn-GPCs release clinically beneficial amounts of Zn 2+ from the mantle of set cements for prolonged periods of time to inhibit bacterial colonization of the implant [7]. However, literature shows that Zn is effective at inhibiting the crystallisation of HA [18]; one report states that Zn is 1000 times more effective at inhibiting the crystallization kinetics of hydroxyapatite than magnesium (Mg) [19].…”

“…Secondly, Zn-GPCs set without a significant evolution of heat, when compared with commercial bone cements such as Spineplex ® (Stryker, Limerick, Ireland). Finally, these materials can be tailored to release clinically beneficial ions into surrounding tissues [7]. In addition to Zn, these cements have been synthesized to contain strontium (Sr) [8,9].…”

“…It has been well established that Zn ions (Zn 2+ ) show antibacterial property [64][65][66]. Recently, Zhu et al [59] introduced plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) process as a promising method for Zn-incorporation on Ti alloy, which is beneficial to both osteogenic and antibacterial abilities to enhance osseointegration while decreases implant-associated infections.…”

“…Zinc (Zn) is the second most prevalent trace element in the human body and is reported to stimulate fracture healing of bone (3) , reduces postmenopausal bone loss (4) , improves bone mineralization (5) , and improves skeletal strength (6) . Furthermore, Zn is an effective agent in killing bacterial strains commonly associated with infection in orthopedic surgeries (7) .…”
