Preliminary Viability Studies Of Fibroblastic Cells Cultured On Microcrystalline And Nanocrystalline Diamonds Produced By Chemical Vapour Deposition Metho

Implant materials used in orthopedics surgery have demonstrated some disadvantages, such as metallic corrosion processes, generation of wear particles, inflammation reactions and bone reabsorption in the implant region. The diamond produced through hot-filament chemical vapour deposition method is a new potential biomedical material due to its chemical inertness, extreme hardness and low coefficient of friction. In the present study we analysis two samples: the microcrystalline diamond and the nanocrystalline diamond. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties of the diamond samples by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Cell viability and morphology were assessed using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide, cytochemical assay and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results revealed that the two samples did not interfere in the cell viability, however the proliferation of fibroblasts cells observed was comparatively higher with the nanocrystalline diamond.161252258Anselme, K., Osteoblast adhesion on biomaterials (2000) Biomateirals, 21, pp. 667-681. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0142-9612(99)00242-2Evans, E.J., Thomas, I.T., The in vitro toxicity of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloy and its constituent metals (1986) Biomaterials, 7, pp. 25-29. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0142-9612(86)90084-0Pennekamp, P.H., Wimmer, M.A., Eschbach, L., Burian, B., Koch, P., Kraft, C.N., Microvasculary reaction of skeletal muscle in ti-15mmo in comparison to well established in titanium alloys (2007) Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 18, pp. 2053-2060. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10856-007-3116-4Semlitsch, M.F., Weber, H., Streicher, R.M., Schon, R., Joint replacement components made of hot-forged and surface-treated ti-6al-7nb alloy (1992) Biomaterials, 13, pp. 781-788. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0142-9612(92)90018-JRogers, S.D., Howie, D.W., Graves, S.E., Pearcy, M.J., Haynes, D.R., In vitro human monocyte response to wear particles titanium alloy containing vanadium or niobium (1997) The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 79 B, pp. 311-315Wolley, P.H., Morren, R., Andary, J., Sud, S., Yang, S.-Y., Mayton, L., Inflamatory responses to orthopaedic biomaterials in the murine air pouch (2002) Biomaterials, 23 (2), pp. 517-523. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0142-9612(0100134-XEvans, E.J., Cell damage in vitro following direct contact with fine particles of titanium, titanium alloy and cobalt-chromemolybdenum alloy (1994) Biomaterials, 9, pp. 713-717. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0142-9612(94)90170-8Bordji, K., Jouzeau, J.Y., Mainard, D., Payan, E., Netter, P., Rie, K.T., Cytocompatibility of ti-6al-4va and ti-5al-2.5fe alloys accordind three surface, using human fibroblasts and osteoblasts (1996) Biomaterials, 17, pp. 929-940. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0142-9612(96)83289-3Hallab, N.J., Mikecz, K., Jacobs, J.J., The triple assay technique for the evaluation of metal induced, delayed-type hypersensitivity responses in patient with or receiving total joint arthroplasty (2000) Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 53 (5), pp. 480-489. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/10-4636(200009)53:5%3C480::AID-JBM6%3E3.0.
