Enhanced osteoconductivity on electrically charged titanium implants treated by physicochemical surface modifications methods
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Biomimetic design is a key tenet of orthopedic device technology, and in particular the development of responsive surfaces that promote ion exchange with interfacing tissues, facilitating the ionic ...
Biofunctional polyethylene glycol coatings on titanium: an in vitro-based comparison of functionalization methods
(Elsevier, 2017)
Three methods for the production of Polyethylene glycol (PEG) coatings on titanium are compared, i.e. plasma polymerization, electrodeposition and silanization. The compared deposition methods presented ...
Surface comparison of three different commercial custom-made titanium meshes produced by SLM for dental applications
(MDPI, 2020)
The use of individualized titanium meshes has been referred to in scientific literature since 2011. There are many advantages to its use, however, the main complications are related to early or late ...
Citric acid in the passivation of titanium dental implants: corrosion resistance and bactericide behavior
(MDPI, 2022)
The passivation of titanium dental implants is performed in order to clean the surface and obtain a thin layer of protective oxide (TiO2) on the surface of the material in order to improve its behavior ...
Evaluation of titanium dental implants after early failure of osseointegration by means of X-ray photoelectron spectoscopy, electron microscopy and histological studies
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-11)
In this work, we analysed 56 clinically failed and retrieved implants by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and histological studies. The surface ...
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 ...
Functionalization of CoCr surfaces with cell adhesive peptides to promote HUVECs adhesion and proliferation
(Elsevier, 2017)
Biomimetic surface modification with peptides that have specific cell-binding moieties is a promising approach to improve endothelialization of metal-based stents. In this study, we functionalized CoCr ...
Fracture and fatigue of titanium narrow dental implants: new trends in order to improve the mechanical response
(MDPI, 2019-11-12)
Sixty-four fractured commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) narrow dental implants (NDIs) with similar macrogeometry and connection designs were studied after different implantation times in humans in order ...
Mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V particles obtained by implantoplasty: an in vitro study. Part II
(MDPI, 2021)
In the field of implant dentistry there are several mechanisms by which metal particles can be released into the peri-implant tissues, such as implant insertion, corrosion, wear, or surface decontamination ...
Cell adhesive peptides functionalized on CoCr alloy stimulate endothelialization and prevent thrombogenesis and restenosis
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017)
Immobilization of bioactive peptide sequences on CoCr surfaces is an effective route to improve endothelialization, which is of great interest for cardiovascular stents. In this work, we explored the ...
