Antifouling coatings for dental implants: PEG-like coatings on titanium by plasma polymerization
(American Vacuum Society, 2015-06)
Titanium dental implants are commonly used for the replacement of lost teeth, but they present a considerable number of failures due to the infection on surrounding tissues. The aim of this paper is the ...
Antibacterial properties of hLf1-11 peptide onto titanium surfaces: a comparison study between silanization and surface initiated polymerization
(ACS Publications, 2015)
Dental implant failure can be associated with infections that develop into peri-implantitis. In order to reduce biofilm formation, several strategies focusing on the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) ...
Nanotopological-tailored calcium phosphate cements for the odontogenic stimulation of human dental pulp stem cells through integrin signaling
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-07-16)
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are a unique class of inorganic injectables attractive for the repair and regeneration of hard tissues. Tailoring the crystallite properties of CPC, particularly to ...
Antibacterial coatings on titanium surfaces: a comparison study between in vitro single-species and multispecies biofilm
(American Chemical Society Publications, 2015)
Dental plaque is a biofilm that causes dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Most of the studies in antibacterial coatings have been conducted by in vitro single-species biofilm formation, but ...
Mechanical and microstructural characterization of new nickel-free low modulus beta-type titanium wires during thermomechanical treatments
(Elsevier, 2015)
NiTi alloy is the only practical shape memory alloy (SMA) in biomedical use because of its excellent mechanical stability and functionality. However, it is estimated that between 4.5% and 28.5% of the ...
Nanotechnology in dentistry: prevention, diagnosis, and therapy
(Dove Press, 2015-10-08)
Nanotechnology has rapidly expanded into all areas of science; it offers significant alternative ways to solve scientific and medical questions and problems. In dentistry, nanotechnology has been exploited ...
Advances in surfaces and osseointegration in implantology. Biomimetic surfaces
(Medicina Oral, 2015)
The present work is a revision of the processes occurring in osseointegration of titanium dental implants according to different types of surfaces -namely, polished surfaces, rough surfaces obtained ...
Silver deposition on titanium surface by electrochemical anodizing process reduces bacterial adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis and Lactobacillus salivarius
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial properties of silver-doped titanium surfaces prepared with a novel electrochemical anodizing process. Material and methods: Titanium ...
In-vitro development of a temporal abutment screw to protect osseointegration in immediate loaded implants
(The Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, 2015-04-23)
Purpose: In this study, a temporal abutment fixation screw, designed to fracture in a controlled way upon application of an occlusal force sufficient to produce critical micromotion was developed. The ...
Prótesis removible en el paciente geriátrico
(Ediciones Avances, 2015)
En nuestro entorno sociodemográfico, según las condiciones económicas actuales, cada vez más pacientes ancianos optan por rehabilitar su boca mediante prótesis removible, y aún siendo las prótesis ...
