Effect of fluoride content of mouthwashes on superelastic properties of NiTi orthodontic archwires
(MDPI, 2022)
The influence of sodium fluoride (NaF) concentration in mouthwashes on the properties of superelastic NiTi orthodontic wires has been studied. In this work, 55.8%Ni and 44.2%Ti (in weight) wires were ...
In vitro study of preload loss in different implant abutment connection designs
(MDPI, 2022)
The stability and integrity of the abutment-implant connection, by means of a screw, is fallible from the moment the prosthetic elements are joined and is dependent on the applied preload, wear of the ...
Optimization of titanium dental mesh surfaces for biological sealing and prevention of bacterial colonization
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium dental meshes have a wide application in order to ensure the retention of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials to regenerate bone tissue. These meshes are temporary and must grow a soft tissue ...
Clinical and radiographic outcomes of zirconia dental implants - a clinical case series study
(MDPI, 2022)
The purpose of this clinical series was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 20 zirconia dental implants, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Patients with at least one zirconia ...
Is cervical stabilization exercise immediately effective in patients with chronic neck pain and upper cervical spine dysfunction? Randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of a single exercise session with manual therapy techniques in the segments of the upper cervical spine (C0–1, C1–2 and C2–3), against a single exercise session in ...
Benefits of residual aluminum oxide for sand blasting titanium dental implants: osseointegration and bactericidal effects
(MDPI, 2022)
Objectives. The purpose of this work was to determine the influence of residual alumina after sand blasting treatment in titanium dental implants. This paper studied the effect of alumina on physico-chemical ...
Multimodal analgesia in orthognathic surgery
(AME Publishing Company, 2022)
Orthognathic surgery, as part of maxillofacial surgery, involves the correction of dentofacial deformities for both functional (occlusion, speech and sleep disturbances) and aesthetic reasons. Deformities ...
Corrosion behavior of titanium dental implants with implantoplasty
(MDPI, 2022)
The procedure generally used to remove bacterial biofilm adhering to the surface of titanium on dental implants is implantoplasty. This treatment is based on the machining of the titanium surface to ...
Palladium nanoparticles synthesized by laser ablation in liquids for antimicrobial applications
(MDPI, 2022)
Antibiotic resistance is a leading cause of death worldwide. In this paper, we explore new alternatives in the treatment of infections. Noble metal nanoparticles could help to mitigate this problem. In ...
Microscopic and virtual approaches to oral pathology: a case study from El Mirador Cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Background: The analysis and diagnosis of ancient oral pathologies have been improved with the application of new techniques such as microscopy and scanning methods over the past few decades. However, ...
