LASIMP - Research project
Femtosecond LASer for dental IMPlants multifunctional texturing
ABSTRACT
Our goal is to use a single/versatile tool, the femtosecond laser, to texture each part of a titanium based dental implant to provide the best functionalities at the desired location. We will select the best anti-bacterial nanotextures for the top of the prosthesis and pro-adhesive texturing for the interface with gingival tissues.
Original approaches: we will assess anti-bacterial properties using bacteria from oral microbiota associated with periodontitis/peri-implantitis (S. mutans, P. gingivalis …). We will quantitatively test cell adhesion of fibroblasts using scratches tests by way of indenter (LTDS) and we aim to develop models of infection for advanced clinical evaluation of implants and prosthesis.
Multi-scale texturing created by the ultrafast laser will be used to obtain multiple functionalities at implant surfaces, being both non-adhesive for bacteria and pro-adhesive for gingival cells.

RESULTS
To assess the biological performance of texturing produced by femtosecond laser, topochips containing a multitude of different nanostructures were manufactured by the Hubert Curien laboratory and Manutech-USD. Several laser sources (1030nm, 515nm and 257nm) and several laser parameters (beam power, fluence, number of pulses, polarization) were tested. The nanostructures obtained were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium involved in peri-implantitis, was seeded on the topochips and labeled with calcein to evaluate the properties of each texturing. This preliminary screening showed that, in accordance with the literature, the correlation between pattern periodicity and bacteria size, is directly linked to bacterial ability to adhere on titanium surfaces (Figure 2). Bacteria and topographies interactions are also observed by SEM, confirming that when pattern periodicity is inferior to bacteria size, contact surfaces between titanium and bacteria are reduced, and so is the bacterial adhesion (Figure 3).
To assess short-term cell adhesion, fluorescence microscopy was used to analyze the formation and localization of focal contacts on different areas. At 48 hours, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have formed larger focal contacts on polished surfaces compared to textured surfaces (Figure 4). However, in the longer term (28 days of culture), scratch tests on cell layer, developed by the LTDS, have shown that the adhesion of the cell layer is better on the areas textured with the femtosecond laser (Figure 5). These adhesion tests were developed on hMSCs, and similar tests are now carried out on gingival fibroblasts. Since one of the major problems of peri-implantitis is the lack of adhesion of the gingival tissues to the implant, which leads to bacterial infiltration, an improved fibroblasts adhesion will be a key to increase implant lifetime.
