Effect of temperature on the orthodontic clinical applications of NiTi closed-coil springs
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2013-07-01)
NiTi spring coils were used to obtain large deformation under a constant force. The device consists on a NiTi coil spring, superelastic at body temperature, in order to have a stress plateau during the ...
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 ...
Resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell system, using the transducer screwed to different healings abutments
(Sociedade Portuguesa de Estomatologia e Medicina Dentária, 2017)
Objectives: compare the ISQ values obtained by the Osstell ISQ, screwing the Smarpeg directly to the implant or to the new designed healing abutments of 2, 3.5 and 5 mm of height. Methods: 60 rough ...
Roughness and wettability effect on histological and mechanical response of self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants can be used as temporary devices for orthodontic treatments. Our main goal was to evaluate surface characteristics, roughness and wettability, of surface modified ...
Mechanical characterisation and biomechanical and biological behaviours of Ti-Zr binary-alloy dental implants
(Hindawi, 2017)
The objective of the study is to characterise the mechanical properties of Ti-15Zr binary alloy dental implants and to describe their biomechanical behaviour as well as their osseointegration capacity ...
Two different strategies to enhance osseointegration in porous titanium: inorganic thermo-chemical treatment versus organic coating by peptide adsorption
(MDPI, 2018)
In this study, highly-interconnected porous titanium implants were produced by powder sintering with different porous diameters and open interconnectivity. The actual foams were produced using high cost ...
Comparison of the superelasticity of different nickel–titanium orthodontic archwires and the loss of their properties by heat treatment
(Springer Nature, 2016)
The aim of this work is to describe and compare mechanical properties of eight widely used nickel–titanium orthodontic wires under uniform testing conditions and to determine the influence of the heat ...
In vitro corrosion behavior of lingual orthodontic archwires
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
To investigate the in vitro electrochemical corrosive behavior of archwires used in lingual orthodontics and the effects on the phase transition temperatures. Materials and Methods. Six different types ...
