AbstractOsteoporosis is a disease attributed to an imbalance in communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, possibly arising from a locally acidic microenvironment which hinders normal cell function. However, to date, little or no attention has been paid to these cells' milieu in respect of implant materials. Although it has been claimed for a few biomaterials that they stimulate bone formation, seldom has their surface behavior been invoked to explain behavior. With degradation, ion concentrations and pH at the material's surface must vary and thus may affect osteoblast response directly. On degradation of a recently developed biomaterial, Sr-containing CaSiO 3, the interfacial pH was found to be appreciably higher than that of the bulk medium and the "standard" physiological value of 7.4. At these high values (pH > 8), both the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of osteoblasts was significantly enhanced, with a maximum response at 10% Sr substitution for Ca. This shows that the chemistry of the solid-liquid interface is a critical factor in bone regeneration, although this has generally been overlooked. Thus, the interfacial pH in particular is to be considered, rather than the bulk value, and this may be of importance in many related contexts in bone-tissue engineering. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
