Titanium surface characteristics induce the specific reprogramming of toll-like receptor signaling in macrophages
(MDPI, 2022)
Most of the research on titanium-based dental implants (Ti-discs) is focused on how they are able to stimulate the formation of new tissue and/or cytotoxic studies, with very scarce data on their effects ...
Laser-deposited beta type Ti-42Nb alloy with anisotropic mechanical properties for pioneering biomedical implants with a very low elastic modulus
(MDPI, 2022)
Present commercial titanium alloy implants have an elastic modulus higher than 100 GPa, whereas that of the cortical bone is much smaller (17–28 GPa). This elastic modulus mismatch produces a stress ...
Effects of hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide treatment on bacterial disinfection treatments in implantoplasty procedures
(MDPI, 2023)
One of the main problems in oral implantology today is peri-implantitis, which affects almost 20% of dental implants placed in patients. One of the most commonly used techniques to eliminate bacterial ...
Effect of stabilized martensite on the long-term performance of superelastic NiTi endodontic files
(MDPI, 2023)
One of the most used rotary files in endodontics is NiTi files due to their superelastic properties. This property means that this instrument has extraordinary flexion that can adapt to large angles ...
Polydopamine incorporation enhances cell differentiation and antibacterial properties of 3D-printed guanosine-borate hydrogels for functional tissue regeneration
(MDPI, 2023)
Tissue engineering focuses on the development of materials as biosubstitutes that can be used to regenerate, repair, or replace damaged tissues. Alongside this, 3D printing has emerged as a promising ...
Enamel evaluation after debonding of fixed retention and polishing treatment with three different methods
(MDPI, 2023)
Lack of standardization of the retention phase has led to many studies of stability of movements and characteristic of retainers, disregarding the enamel repercussions of fixed retention on this phase. ...
Bacteriostatic poly rthylene glycol plasma coatings for orthodontic titanium mini-implants
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium mini-implants are used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. However, these implants present problems due to the infection of surrounding tissues. The aim of this work was to obtain a ...
Relevant aspects of titanium topography for osteoblastic adhesion and inhibition of bacterial colonization
(MDPI, 2023)
The influence of the surface topography of dental implants has been studied to optimize titanium surfaces in order to improve osseointegration. Different techniques can be used to obtain rough titanium, ...
Mechanical characterization of dental prostheses manufactured with PMMA–graphene composites
(Materials, 2022)
The use of a PMMA composite with graphene is being commercialized for application as dental prostheses. The different proportions of fibers provide a wide range of colors that favors dental esthetics ...
The characterization of titanium particles released from bone-level titanium dental implants: effect of the size of particles on the ion release and cytotoxicity behaviour
(Materials, 2022)
Many studies are being carried out on the particles released during the implantoplasty process in the machining of dental implants to remove bacterial biofilms. However, there are no studies on the ...
