Ref.

PTT/PDT

TiO2/MoSe2/CHI-coated Ti implant

Streptococcus mutans

rat

in vitro, in vivo

808 nm, 0.6 W/cm2

Antibacterial; disrupted biofilm, and promoted implant osseointegration in Streptococcus mutans -infected tibia

[76]

 

SPEEK-GO-BFP

S. aureus, E. coli

rabbit

in vitro, in vivo

808 nm, 0.5 W/cm2

PTT and PDT synergistically killed bacteria; promoted MC3T3 cells proliferation, migration, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation, accelerated implant osseointegration at femoral defects

[77]

PTT/PDT/CDT

CuS@GP-CS/Fu ENFC

S. aureus, E. coli

-

in vitro

980 nm, 1.25 W/cm2

Antibacterial; released Cu2+ and fucoidan (Fu) to promote ALP expression and calcium nodule formation in 7F2 osteoblasts

[78]

PTT/chemotherapy

PLLA/ZIF-8@GO

S. aureus, E. coli

-

in vitro

808 nm, 1.0 W/cm2

Scaffolds synergistically antibacterial and disrupted biofilms via PTT and Zn2+; promoted proliferation of MG-63 osteoblasts

[79]

PTT/PDT/chemotherapy

CuS@BSA/rGO-PDA-coated Ti implant

S. aureus, E. coli

rat

in vitro, in vivo

808nm, 2.0 W/cm2

Resisted bacterial infection of bone tissue and disrupted biofilm, promoted vascularized bone regeneration

[80]

PTT/chemotherapy/physical puncture

TNS-MPN-AMP-coated Ti implant

S. aureus, E. coli

rat

in vitro, in vivo

808 nm, 0.5 W/cm2

Physical puncture, AMP release, and PTT synergistic anti-infection; promoted adhesion of MC3T3-E1 cells and formation of hydroxyapatite on the implant surface

[81]

PTT/PDT/chemotherapy/physical puncture

TiO2:FYH/Cur/BMP-2 nanorods

S. aureus, E. coli

mouse and rabbit

in vitro, in vivo

1060 nm, 0.6 W/cm2 in mouse, 1.0 W/cm2 in rabbit

Antibacterial, disrupted biofilm, inhibited inflammation, promoted proliferation, adhesion and differentiation of osteoblasts, accelerated implant osseointegration

[82]

PTT/PDT/electron transfer

GO/NCDs/Hap/Ti

S. aureus, E. coli

rat

in vitro, in vivo

808 nm, 0.5 W/cm2

Generation of photocurrents between the material and cells, leading to Ca2+ flow, accelerated migration, adhesion, and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in vitro; electron transfer inhibited the adenosine triphosphate process of bacteria, synergized with PTT and PDT to eliminate tibial infections and inhibit inflammation; promoted angiogenesis
