id="sec001"><title>Objectives</title><p>The aim of the present study is to evaluate, in a ligature-induced peri-implantitis model, the efficacy of three antimicrobial glassy coatings in the prevention of biofilm formation, intrasulcular bacterial growth and the resulting peri-implant bone loss.</p></sec><sec id="sec002"><title>Methods</title><p>Mandibular premolars were bilaterally extracted from five beagle dogs. Four dental implants were inserted on each hemiarch. Eight weeks after, one control zirconia abutment and three with different bactericidal coatings (G1n-Ag, ZnO35, G3) were connected. After a plaque control period, bacterial accumulation was allowed and biofilm formation on abutments was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Peri-implantitis was induced by cotton ligatures. Microbial samples and peri-implant crestal bone levels of all implant sites were obtained before, during and after the breakdown period.</p></sec><sec id="sec003"><title>Results</title><p>During experimental induce peri-implantitis: colony forming units counts from intrasulcular microbial samples at implants with G1n-Ag coated abutment remained close to the basal inoculum; G3 and ZnO35 coatings showed similar low counts; and anaerobic bacterias counts at control abutments exhibited a logarithmic increase by more than 2. Bone loss during passive breakdown period was no statistically significant. Additional bone loss occurred during ligature-induce breakdown: 0.71 (SD 0.48) at G3 coating, 0.57 (SD 0.36) at ZnO35 coating, 0.74 (SD 0.47) at G1n-Ag coating, and 1.29 (SD 0.45) at control abutments; and statistically significant differences (p<0.001) were found. The lowest bone loss at the end of the experiment was exhibited by implants dressing G3 coated abutments (mean 2.1; SD 0.42).</p></sec><sec id="sec004"><title>Significance</title><p>Antimicrobial glassy coatings could be a useful tool to ward off, diminish or delay peri-implantitis progression.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name

But nowadays, one of the most important problems related to dental implant therapy is to preserve the osseointegration achieved. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory reaction in the tissues surrounding a dental implant and is characterized by loss of supporting bone [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. While early implant success rates are undisputed high (97–98%) [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>], peri-implant disease has emerged as the main threat for implant health and depending on its severity, implant failure can occur (approximately 11% after 10 years of function) [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. In contrast to periodontal tissues, peri-implant tissues appeared to be poorly encapsulated to resolve progressive. Plaque-associated lesions are extended into the marginal bone tissue and may, if they are allowed to progress, lead to the loss of the implant [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>].</p><p>“Peri-implant diseases are infectious in nature” [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. For the first time, the association between bacterial plaque biofilm formation and the pathogenesis of peri-implant diseases was demonstrated in animal studies. In this experimental model, mucositis and peri-implantitis lesions were induced by terminating the plaque control regimen and the placement and exchange of ligatures around the implant neck in a submucosal position [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>].</p><p>The growing resistance of microorganisms to antibiotic therapy acquires increasingly greater concern as infectious diseases may progress uncontrolled. A particular problem is found with infections caused by biofilms, like peri-implant disease, where a variety of factors can contribute to a greater resistance to antibiotics compared with bacterias in planktonic status [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. To cope with this problem, attention has been focused on inorganic antimicrobial solutions and great efforts have been paid in the field of nanotechnology [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. At present, the most important research activity has been performed on materials supporting or carrier silver or copper nanoparticles [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. But since the limits of systemic toxicity effects on human health of metal nanoparticles are still unknown [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>], a new generation of “green antimicrobials” have been tailored to exhibit prescribed antimicrobial attributes, with microstructure and dissolution rates programmed to match each specific application and with no adverse effects on the host ecology [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. They are based on two families of glasses belonging respectively to B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub>-Na<sub>2</sub>O-ZnO and SiO<sub>2</sub>-Na<sub>2</sub>O-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-CaO-B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> systems. One is a ZnO enriched glass and the other one a CaO enriched glass. The antimicrobial capability of the glass enriched with CaO relies on close contact with the target cells [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. On the contrary, in the case of the ZnO enriched glass it is attributed to the release of Zn<sup>2+</sup> [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>].</p><p>The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of these new antimicrobial glassy coatings by inhibiting bacterial growth in subgingival sulcus and preventing peri-implant marginal crestal bone loss. For a comparative purpose, a soda-lime glass containing silver nanoparticles is also evaluated. The efficacy of this kind of glass to prevent peri-implant diseases was pointed out in previous works [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]</p><p>Data from human studies are often considered to provide the highest level of scientific evidence but for ethical reasons, experimental studies of peri-implant infections cannot be conducted in humans. Hence, the information gathered in this field must rely on animal studies. Nevertheless, ethical considerations must be made also when planning experiments using animal models. In this sense Kilkenny et al. [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] presented the ARRIVE guidelines intended as a guide when preparing on animal research.</p><p>Therefore, experimental studies must be carefully designed to allow for valid outcome assessments. Since animal studies have indicated that the histopathological characteristics of these experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions have many features in common with naturally occurring lesions [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>], this model seems to have a relevance to human biology. Beagle dogs exhibit a natural susceptibility to periodontal disease [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] and reveal a jaw bone anatomy usually facilitating the insertion of common dental implants. In addition, their easy manageability facilitates postoperative oral hygiene procedures. This explains why Beagle dog appear to be the most suitable animal to conduct the ligature-induced peri-implantitis defect model.</p></sec><sec id="sec006"><title>Material and Methods</title><sec id="sec007"><title>2.1.

The starting materials were weighed, mixed and melted in a Pt crucible for 1 h at 850°C to favor decarbonation of samples, and subsequently for 1 h at 1400°C (G3) and at 1250°C (ZnO35). Chemical composition of these glasses is shown in <xref rid="pone.0140374.s001" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Table</xref>. On the other hand, homogeneous dispersed silver nanoparticles (10–90 nm) embedded into glassy matrix with a content of silver of 20 wt.% was prepared according to the method developed by Esteban-Tejeda et al.

Preparation of the coated abutments</title><p>Coatings were prepared following different procedures depending on the type of glass used. In the case of the glass containing silver nanoparticles, the coatings were obtained following a similar procedure that the one described in a previous work [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Briefly, the green coating was obtained by dipping the zirconia abutments into an ethylene glycol glass-nAg powder suspension with 70 wt.% solid content. The abutments were vertically dipped into the suspension for 3 seconds, and then withdrawn at the same speed. The resulting coatings were dried at room temperature for 24 h. The green coated abutments were subsequently heated in air atmosphere at 880°C for 2 h.</p><p>Coatings using antimicrobial glasses without silver nanoparticles were done by screen-printing technology. A polymer ink, based on a mixture of epoxy and glass powder was prepared for the glass layer screen-printing. This layer was deposited on the corresponding substrate surface. The green-coatings of ZnO35 prepared as indicated were fired in air atmosphere at 750°C for 30 min (temperature ramp 10°C/min). In the case of the green-coatings of G3 were fired in air atmosphere at 1100°C. The rate of cooling was adjusted to be rapid enough (> 300°C/min) to avoid crystallization as well any cracking or chipping phenomena.</p></sec><sec id="sec009"><title>2.3.

This included cleaning of teeth and abutments, once a day, 5 days a week, with toothbrush and dentifrice. The plaque control regimen was terminated four weeks later. At the end of the plaque control period, animals were exposed to clinical and radiological examinations, and bacterial samples were collected. Visual signs of gingival inflammation, such as redness and swelling, were evaluated and digital radiographs were obtained from all implant sections at the beginning and the end of experiment, and twice in the transition from passive to active peri-implant breakdown period (weeks 24, 36, 38 and 46) (See <xref rid="pone.0140374.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>). We used a holder that allowed easy and predictable alignment of the X-ray tube, and reproducible radiographic images from which highly repeatable measurements could be made. The radiographs were analyzed using Nemotec Dental Studio<sup>®</sup> Software (Nemotec SL, Madrid, Spain) and the distance between the abutment-fixture junction (A/F) and the marginal position of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) was determined.

Bacterial samples were also collected at this point to report CFU counts at different coatings. Afterwards, all zirconia abutments were replaced to assess coating wearing down and to ensure coating integrity during next phase of the experiment.

It is further observed that glassy coatings decrease bacterial attachment and proliferation on its surface (<xref rid="pone.0140374.g004" ref-type="fig">Fig 4</xref>). Large clusters of bacteria can be clearly observed on control abutment, while only few bacillus shaped bacteria are barely spotted. In the same line other studies showed inorganic nanoparticles as a coating material to inhibit bacterial adhesion and promote osteoblast growth [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>].</p><p>CFU counts from intrasulcular samples resulted in consistent findings of SEM abutment analysis. No statistical significant differences were detected in aerobic bacterial counts between control or coated abutments, but a slight increase in CFU from basal inoculum was evidence in control abutments as experiment evolved. It should be noted that, whilst control abutments experimented a logarithm of increase > 2 for anaerobic cfu/ml, the antimicrobial study of these glassy coatings pinpointed that this new family of bactericidal glasses is very effective maintaining anaerobic bacterias levels close to the basal inoculum logarithmic concentration (<xref rid="pone.0140374.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5B</xref>).</p><p>“In vitro” experiments previously reported [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>] had documented that this new family of biomaterials is very effective diminishing (logarithm of reduction >3) the growth of bacteria (such as <italic>S</italic>. <italic>aureus</italic>, <italic>E</italic>. <italic>coli</italic>, <italic>S</italic>. <italic>epidermidis</italic>, <italic>M</italic>. <italic>lutea</italic> and <italic>P</italic>. <italic>aeruginosa</italic>) as well as yeast (<italic>C</italic>. <italic>Krusei</italic>). Microbiological results regarded from this dog experiment allow us to assert that the same “in vivo” microbial counts control effectiveness is exhibited. This is also quite consistent with clinical findings (<xref rid="pone.0140374.g004" ref-type="fig">Fig 4</xref>), where at week 24 minimal gingival inflammation is observed at positions 3 (ZnO35) and 4 (G1n-Ag) and no gingival changes at all can be pinpointed at position 1 (control) and 2 (G3). Nevertheless, at the end of induce peri-implant disease the reverse happens. At week 46 plenty of suppuration arise from sulcus in control abutment position 1 and adversely affecting the medial aspect of position 2 (G3); it is noteworthy that positions 3 (ZnO35) and 4 (G1n-Ag) hardly exhibit any gingival inflammation in spite of bacterial accumulation caused by sub-gingival cotton ligatures.</p><p>Previous experiments [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>] have demonstrated that mucositis and peri-implantitis may be induced by terminating the plaque control regimen (passive breakdown) and the placement and exchange of ligatures around the implant neck in a sub-mucosal position (active breakdown). <xref rid="pone.0140374.g007" ref-type="fig">Fig 7</xref> shows radiological crestal bone level at the beginning and end of peri-implant induce disease. All implants exhibited bone loss to a greater or lesser extend depending on the abutment coating dressed.</p><p>The mean amount of bone loss that occurred during the preparatory period (implant insertion-plaque control cessation) can be seen from <xref rid="pone.0140374.g008" ref-type="fig">Fig 8</xref>. Mesial and distal aspect of each implant were considered observation units (n = 20) to assess bone loss. All abutments with the exception of G1n-Ag, experimented similar bone loss during plaque control period that could possibly be explained by biological width development. Similar results occurred in an earlier study looking at bone loss around implants wearing G1n-Ag coated abutments [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. This spontaneous bone loss around implants dressed with G1n-Ag coated abutments during plaque control phase, and previous to the induce peri-implant disease period, could be related to a time-limited minimal gingival inflammatory reaction triggered by the coating material itself (<xref rid="pone.0140374.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>). Similar inflammatory reaction was shown to a lesser extend by ZnO35 coated abutments, but no inflammatory changes were triggered by control nor G3 coated abutments.</p><p>No statistical differences (p<0.29) in bone loss have been shown during passive breakdown period. This is in concordance with the slight increase of bacterial counts assessments from intrasulcular samples at this period. It is worth noting that during ligature induce peri-implantitis (active breakdown period) differences in bone loss were statistically significant (p<0.001) between control abutment and all coated abutments, both for absolutes values (difference variable) and for relative values (change variable). This is directly linked to anaerobic bacterial logarithmic increase caused by ligatures. The more bacterial counts increase the more bone loss exhibited around implants. G1n-Ag showed the best bacterial control counts (<xref rid="pone.0140374.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1B</xref>) and one of the lowest bone loss in absolute values (total difference) (<xref rid="pone.0140374.s002" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>). Nevertheless, due to the time-limited spontaneous bone resorption that these coated abutments exhibited during plaque control period, from <xref rid="pone.0140374.g008" ref-type="fig">Fig 8</xref> we can see that total final bone loss at week 46 was similar to control abutments. Antimicrobial properties of ZnO35 and G3 coatings were similar and closed to G1n-Ag coating, and therefore bone loss during ligature induce peri-implantitis around implants that dressed these coatings (positions 2 and 3) resulted statistically significant (p<0.001) low when compared with control abutments. Indeed, from <xref rid="pone.0140374.s002" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref> can be seen than ZnO35 coating exhibited the lowest total bone loss expressed in an absolute value (initial bone level assessment minus final bone level value). However, as in the case of G1n-Ag coating, ZnO35 coatings went through a time-limited bone resorption process during initial plaque control period, although to less extension. This provoked a total final bone loss of 2.25 mm at week 46 even though it has exhibited exceptional antimicrobial properties during active breakdown period. It is noteworthy that G3 coated abutments exhibited the lowest mean bone loss compared with controls or any other antimicrobial coating all along the experiment and at the final point at week 46.</p><p>It is realized that there is a concern with metal-based nanomaterials—engineered metal and metal oxide nanoparticles—to human health [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>], but in spite of all efforts made to clarify the limits of such toxic health effects, there is still insufficient evidence to support the claim [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0140374.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>].</p><p>In the present study animals did not exhibit any coating related adverse effect further than initial time-limited gingival inflammation assessed around ZnO35 and G1n-Ag coatings. It should be pointed out that G3 coating did not exhibit this initial gingival inflammation.

It is realized that this model may not mimic the onset and/or progression of natural disease in humans, but comparisons between lesions produced with such models exhibit features similar to those found in human biopsy material [<xref rid="pone.0140374.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>].
