背景與目的:選擇性雷射熔融鈦六鋁四釩合金(Ti-6Al-4V, Ti64)可撤式局部義齒(removable partial denture, RPD)支架可作為鈷鉻合金(cobalt–chromium, CoCr)支架之替代方案,但其生物力學優化與抗菌表面之整合研究仍有限。本研究評估不同Ti64支架設計之生物力學效應,並開發適用於Ti64表面的抗菌塗層。
材料與方法:建立下顎甘迺迪第二類有限元素模型,比較一組CoCr支架與十六組具有不同卡環設計、舌側對抗構造及大連接體尺寸之Ti64支架於垂直與斜向受力下的生物力學表現。以有限元素分析評估應力分布與支持組織反應,並透過體外機械測試與數位影像相關法進行驗證。以鈰離子或多醣包覆複合物(polysaccharide-linked encapsulated complex, PLEC)處理之Ti64試片,透過菌落形成單位計數初步評估其對大腸桿菌(Escherichia coli, ATCC 8739;BCRC 11634)之抗菌效果。其後,以N¹-(4-硼酸基苄基)-N³-(4-硼酸基苯基)-N¹,N¹,N³,N³-四甲基丙烷-1,3-二銨(TSPBA)與聚乙烯醇(polyvinyl alcohol, PVA)製備鈰離子及PLEC負載塗層,並以掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察表面形態、NIH/3T3纖維母細胞進行萃取液體外細胞毒性試驗,以及抑菌圈試驗評估擴散相關抗菌行為。
結果:相較於CoCr,Ti64支架整體應力降低21%–43%。垂直受力下,牙周韌帶與支架應力分別最高降低40%及32%–46%。斜向受力下,大連接體應力降低約17%,而直接固位體、游離端黏膜及直接支台齒牙周韌帶應力分別增加約3%、13%及6%。支架應力重新分配主要受卡環與舌側對抗構造之交互作用影響,而增加大連接體剛性可穩定支架應力分布,並主要影響支持組織反應。鈰離子及PLEC處理試片均呈現濃度依賴性抗菌效果,分別自185 ppm與0.125%開始呈現抗菌活性。Ce-570與PLEC-0.5的菌量降低最明顯,而氧化鈰奈米粒子的效果有限。掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察顯示Ti64表面形成膜狀TSPBA–PVA塗層覆蓋。未添加抗菌劑之TSPBA–PVA塗層於測試條件下未呈現細胞毒性反應,導入抗菌劑後,細胞毒性則受抗菌劑種類與濃度影響。鈰離子塗層萃取液的非細胞毒性範圍較PLEC塗層廣。鈰離子與PLEC初步候選濃度區間分別為185–570 ppm與0.125%–0.25%。抑菌圈試驗中,鈰離子塗層未形成可偵測之抑菌圈,而PLEC塗層呈現濃度及時間依賴性之抑菌圈擴張。氯己定(chlorhexidine, CHX)塗層的早期反應較快,PLEC-0.25於48小時內與CHX大致相當,而PLEC-0.5於48小時的抑菌圈大於CHX。
結論:選擇性雷射熔融Ti64 RPD支架可透過應力重新分配改善整體載荷分布,其生物力學表現受材料性質、卡環設計、舌側對抗構造及大連接體剛性共同影響。TSPBA–PVA可作為抗菌功能化之塗層平台。鈰離子與PLEC均呈現濃度依賴性抗菌效果,但僅PLEC負載塗層呈現可偵測之時間依賴性抑菌圈擴張。
Background/purpose: Selective laser melting (SLM)-fabricated Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks offer an alternative to cast cobalt–chromium (CoCr) frameworks, but combined biomechanical optimization and antimicrobial surface functionalization remain underexplored. This dissertation evaluated the biomechanical effects of Ti64 framework design and developed antimicrobial coatings for Ti64 surfaces.
Materials and methods: A mandibular Kennedy Class II finite element model was used to compare one CoCr framework with sixteen Ti64 designs varying in clasp configuration, lingual reciprocal assembly (LRA), and major connector dimensions under vertical and oblique loading. Stress distributions and supporting tissue responses were evaluated using finite element analysis, with partial validation by in vitro mechanical testing and digital image correlation. Ti64 specimens treated with cerium ions or polysaccharide-linked encapsulated complex (PLEC) were initially screened against Escherichia coli (E. coli, ATCC 8739; BCRC 11634) by viable colony counting. Cerium ion- and PLEC-loaded coatings based on N¹-(4-boronobenzyl)-N³-(4-boronophenyl)-N¹,N¹,N³,N³-tetramethylpropane-1,3-diaminium (TSPBA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), extract-based in vitro cytotoxicity testing using NIH/3T3 fibroblasts, and diffusion-related antimicrobial behavior by disc diffusion testing.
Results: Compared with CoCr, Ti64 reduced overall framework stress by 21%–43%. Under vertical loading, periodontal ligament (PDL) and framework stresses decreased by up to 40% and 32%–46%, respectively. Under oblique loading, major connector stress decreased by approximately 17%, whereas direct retainer, distal-extension mucosal, and direct-abutment PDL stresses increased by approximately 3%, 13%, and 6%, respectively. Framework stress redistribution was mainly governed by clasp–LRA interaction, whereas increasing major connector rigidity generally stabilized the stress distribution and primarily influenced supporting-tissue responses. Cerium ion- and PLEC-treated specimens showed concentration-dependent antibacterial effects, with activity evident at 185 ppm and 0.125%, respectively. Ce-570 and PLEC-0.5 produced the greatest bacterial reductions, whereas cerium oxide nanoparticles showed limited effects. SEM showed film-like TSPBA–PVA coating coverage on the Ti64 surfaces. TSPBA–PVA-only coatings were non-cytotoxic under the tested conditions, while cytotoxicity after antimicrobial incorporation depended on agent type and concentration. Provisional candidate concentration ranges were 185–570 ppm for cerium ions and 0.125%–0.25% for PLEC. Ce ion-loaded coatings produced no detectable inhibition zones, whereas PLEC-loaded coatings showed concentration- and time-dependent inhibition-zone expansion. The CHX-loaded coating showed a faster initial response, whereas PLEC-loaded coatings responded more slowly. PLEC-0.25 produced an inhibition-zone response generally comparable to CHX over 48 h, while PLEC-0.5 ultimately exceeded CHX at 48 h.
Conclusion: SLM Ti64 RPD frameworks improved overall load distribution through stress redistribution governed by material properties, clasp configuration, LRA incorporation, and major connector rigidity. TSPBA–PVA provided a feasible antimicrobial coating platform. Cerium ions and PLEC both showed concentration-dependent antibacterial activity, but only PLEC-loaded coatings exhibited detectable time-dependent inhibition-zone expansion.
