Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In previous experiments, TiO2:C thin film coating have been prepared on the surface of titanium paper by sol-gel process.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biocompatibility of nanometer TiO2:C thin film coating.
METHODS: Hemolysis test: New Zealand white rabbit venous blood was extracted and added into the TiO2-normal saline, TiO2:C-normal saline, distilled water and fresh normal saline. Cytotoxicity test: TiO2:C leaching liquor was added into the L929 cell culture medium in the logarithmic growth phase. Short-term systemic toxicity test: 60 BALB/C mice were randomly divided into three groups and lavaged with leaching liquor extracted from TiO2, TiO2:C coatings and normal saline. Oral mucosa stimulation test: the gutta-percha wafer and the nano-TiO2:C thin film coating were sutured and fixed to the cheek pouch of inaurate hamster.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Acute hemolysis was not induced by nano-TiO2:C thin film coating. Toxicity level of nano-TiO2:C thin film coating was 0-1. It had no obvious toxicity to the cells. There was no obvious abnormality of cell cycle. TiO2:C leaching liquor had no short-term systemic toxicity on mice and no stimulation to oral mucosa of hamster. The results showed that nano-TiO2:C thin film coatings have good bio-security.
