Abstract
Implant-associated infections and delayed osseointegration are major challenges for the clinical success of titanium implants. To enhance antibacterial effects and promote early osseointegration, we developed a synergistic photothermal (PTT)/photodynamic (PDT) therapy strategy based on near-infrared (NIR) responsive biomimetic micro/nano titanate/TiO2-X heterostructure coatings (KMNW and NaMNS) in situ constructed on the surface of titanium implants. Specifically, KMNW and NaMNS significantly enhanced photothermal conversion capabilities, achieving localized high temperatures of 48-51 °C and promoting substantial amounts of reactive oxygen species production under 808 nm irradiation. In vitro antibacterial experiments demonstrated that KMNW achieved the highest antibacterial rates against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, at 98.78 and 98.33% respectively. Moreover, by mimicking the three-dimensional fibrous network of the extracellular matrix during bone healing, both KMNW and NaMNS markedly promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts. In vivo implantation studies further confirmed these findings, with KMNW and NaMNS exhibiting superior antibacterial performance under NIR irradiation─94.45% for KMNW and 92.66% for NaMNS. Moreover, KMNW and NaMNS also significantly promoted new bone formation and improved osseointegration in vivo. This study presents a promising PTT/PDT therapeutic strategy for dentistry and orthopedics by employing NIR-responsive biomimetic coatings to combat implant-associated infection and accelerate osseointegration.
