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 ...
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 ...
NiTi superelastic orthodontic archwires with polyamide coating
(Springer, 2013-10-24)
Twenty orthodontic archwires with 55.2 % Ni and 44.8 % Ti (% weight) were subjected to a dipping treatment to coat the NiTi surface by a polyamide polymer. It has been selected a Polyamide 11 due to its ...
Chitosan-recombinamer layer-by-layer coatings for multifunctional implants
(MDPI, 2017)
The main clinical problems for dental implants are (1) formation of biofilm around the implant—a condition known as peri-implantitis and (2) inadequate bone formation around the implant—lack of ...
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 ...
Discerning the subfibrillar structure of mineralized collagen fibrils: a model for the ultrastructure of bone
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Biomineralization templated by organic molecules to produce inorganic-organic nanocomposites is a fascinating example of nature using bottom-up strategies at nanoscale to accomplish highly ordered ...
Influence of the elastic modulus on the osseointegration of dental implants
(MDPI, 2019-03-25)
The load transfer from metallic prosthesis to tissue plays an important role in the success
of a designed device. From a mechanical behavior point of view, the load transfer will be favored
when the ...
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 ...
Immediate implants following tooth extraction. A systematic review
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2012-03)
Objectives: The aim of this article is to review the current state of immediate implants, with their pros and contras, and the clinical indications and contraindications. Material and Methods: An ...
