Abstract

Zirconia-based dental implants are in direct contact with living tissues and any improvements in their bioactivity and adhesion to the tissues are highly welcome. In this study, different ratios of barium titanate (BT) were added to 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) through conventional sintering. The laser-texturing technique was also conducted to improve the biological performance of 3YSZ ceramics. The composition and the surface of the prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The roughness and surface wettability of the composites were also measured. Furthermore, MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells were used for the in vitro experiments. Cell viability was evaluated using a commercial resazurin-based method. Morphology and cellular adhesion were observed using SEM. Based on the results, the laser texturing and the barium titanate content influenced the surface characteristics of the prepared composites. The laser-textured 3YSZ/7 mol% BT composites showed a lower water contact angle compared to the other samples, which indicated superior surface hydrophilicity. The cell viability and cell adhesion of 3YSZ/BT composites increased with the rise in the barium titanate content and laser power. An elongated cell morphology and apatite nucleation were also observed by the BT content. Overall, the laser-treated 3YSZ/5 and 7 mol% BT composites may be promising candidates in hard tissue repair due to their good cell response.
