| Abstract | Several properties of bio-inspired surfaces like chemical composition, surface topography, surface hydrophilicity and even surface charge could influence bacterial adhesion to implant materials. Therefore, a nanostructured surface is being investigated to avoid bacterial colonization by their physico-mechanical and chemical aspects.Both smooth and rough-surfaced titanium (PT, SLA) and zirconia (M and ZLA) surfaces were used as controls. Titanium SLA was modified by two-step-etching to create nanostructured surface. Antibacterial properties of the materials were tested by adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC 33277). The vitality of bacteria was assessed by Live/Dead BacLight™ Bacterial Viability Kit or by conventional culturing on Columbia blood agar.Conventional culturing revealed reduction of bacteria on nanostructured titanium (5.27±0.8 x 104 CFU/mm2) in comparison to rough-surfaced control materials (ZLA 6.16±4.86 x 104 and SLA 1.53±0.75 x 105 CFU/mm2). However, smooth-surfaced control materials (M 2.25±0.84 x 104 and PT 6.63±5.77 x 103 CFU/mm2) showed similar results to the nanostructured material. Live/dead staining demonstrated the antimicrobial efficacy of the nanostructured material revealing reduction of vital bacteria population up to 70%. This effect was not observed on the control materials (bacterial vitality ≥95%).In conclusion, nanostructured titanium surface shows a reduction of vital bacteria. Therefore, bio-inspired nanostructures can modify the bacteria–titanium interaction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
