      The main clinical problems for dental implants are (1) formation of biofilm around the implant—a condition known as peri-implantitis and (2) inadequate bone formation around the implant—lack of ...
    • Implant surface physicochemistry affects keratinocyte hemidesmosome formation 

      Raptopoulos, Michail; Fischer, Nicholas G.; Aparicio, Conrado (Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2023)
      Previous studies have shown hydrophilic/hydrophobic implant surfaces stimulate/hinder osseointegration. An analogous concept was applied here using common biological functional groups on a model surface ...
