Exam 2 Quiz 6 Flashcards
Considers the interactions
that take place between the biomaterial and the host environment.
Biocompatibility
Is a biomaterial a property or an event?
An event/interaction
Biological performance in a specific application that is judged suitable for that site/situation.
Biocompatible
Founder of biomaterials
Jonathon Black
The two main considerations of Biological Performance
Host Response and Materials Response
Host Response
One of the main factors of Biological Performance; Local or systemic response other than the intended therapeutic response of the living system
Materials Response
One of the main factors of Biological Performance; the response of the material to the living system
Can a material by itself be biocompatible?
NO, size, shape, etc. all matter
A material that elicits a reproducible, quantifiable host response in a standard test.
Reference (control) material-can be (-) and elicit no/minimal response or +
A well defined, repeatable test
Standard test
Requirements for a material to be biocompatible
Non-Toxic Biochem compatible Non-irritable Non-Carcinogenic Non-immunogenic Bio Adhesive
Neutrophils ultimately mean
Toxicity
move things
Phagocytes
three biological rxns to biomaerials
Toxicity, inflammation, and mutagens
particulate debris
incompatible, no matter the material
How are new materials screened for biocompatibility?
By comparing the host response to a reference/control material in a standard test
a material that elicits a reproducible, quantifiable, host response in a standard test
Reference/Control Material
Elicits a minimal response
Negative control
Elicits an adverse host response
Positive control
Ceramics biocompatibility?
Bioinert
CaOH and MTA Biocompatibility
Bioactive
Calcium phosphates biocomp?
Bioactive
High purity alumina biocomp?
Bioinert
How neutrophils find foreign material
chemotaxis
Chemotactic substances for neutrophils
Opsonin, pH, electrochemical
Process of phagocytosis
Chemotaxis –> invagination of cell –> secondary lysosome formed in cell –> primary and secondary lysosomes form and attack the antigenic substance –> absorbed, degraded, or released
