Time‐Dependent Electrical Active and Ultrasound‐Responsive Calcium Titanate Implant Coating with Immunomodulation, Osteogenesis, and Customized Antibacterial Activity

Abstract Surgical site infection and insufficient osseointegration are notable risks factors associated with oral implant surgery. In this study, the development of a polarized calcium titanate (CT‐P) coating for titanium surfaces is proposed as a solution to these problems. The coating generated electrical stimulation (ES) can inhibit pro‐inflammatory M1‐type macrophage polarization and promote anti‐inflammatory M2‐type macrophage polarization, resulting in favorable bone immunomodulation. The ES generated by the coating can match the physiological electrical potential that will change during bone repair, thereby promoting osseointegration in vivo. In addition, the system can also achieve on‐demand antibacterial activity, mainly depending on the CT‐P coating responding to ultrasound (US) irradiation to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and remove Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) on the surface of the implant. In conclusion, this work provides valuable insights for the development and clinical application of highly efficient electroactive coatings, as well as novel solutions for the selective treatment of bacterial infections in the surgical area.
