Abstract

Atmospheric pressure plasma treatments are nowadays gaining importance to improve the performance of biomaterials in the orthopedic field. Among those, magnesium phosphate-based cements (MPCs) have recently shown attractive features as bone repair materials. The effect of plasma treatments on such cements, which has not been investigated so far, could represent an innovative strategy to modify MPCs' physicochemical properties and to tune their interaction with cells. MPCs were prepared and treated for 5, 7.5, and 10 min with a cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The reactive nitrogen and oxygen species formed during the treatment were characterized. The surfaces of MPCs were studied in terms of the phase composition, morphology, and topography. After a preliminary test in simulated body fluid, the proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal cells on MPCs were assessed. Plasma treatments induce modifications in the relative amounts of struvite, newberyite, and farringtonite on the surfaces on MPCs in a time-dependent fashion. Nonetheless, all investigated scaffolds show a good biocompatibility and cell adhesion, also supporting osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells.
