Effect of Hydrothermal Treatment on Cytotoxicity of Titanium Nitride-hydroxyapatite Coated PEEK
Purposes: To study the effect of hydrothermal treatment on cytotoxicity of Titanium Nitride - Hydroxyapatite (TiN-HA) coated on Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
Materials and Methods: Twelve pieces of PEEK, TiN-HA coated PEEK and TiN-HA coated PEEK with hydrothermal treatment were prepared. The toxicity tests on L929 cell were done by indirect contact method at 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 35 days. MTT assay was performed to evaluate cell viability. Cellular morphology was evaluated using a phase-contrast microscope. The surface morphology of coated films was also assessed by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
Results: PEEK, and TiN-HA coated PEEK did not have cytotoxicity effect on fibroblast cells both prior- and after- hydrothermal treatment groups. The cell viability in the same material condition was increased when duration increased and fibroblasts showed an elongated morphology and a good congruence. Additionally, coated hydroxyapatite increased material surface roughness.
Conclusions: Hydrothermal treatment of TiN-HA coated films were not cytotoxic to fibroblasts and surface roughness was performed by hydroxyapatite in the coated layer.
