Human whole blood interactions with craniomaxillofacial reconstruction materials: exploring In vitro the role of blood cascades and leukocytes in early healing events
(Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023)The present study investigated early interactions between three alloplastic materials (calcium phosphate (CaP), titanium alloy (Ti), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with human whole blood using an ... -
Selecting biomaterials in the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis
(Periodontology 2000, 2023-09)Peri-implantitis is a pathogenic inflammatory condition characterized by progressive bone loss and clinical inflammation that may compromise the stability of dental implants. Therapeutic modalities have ... -
Clinical and radiographic features of external cervical resorption: an observational study
(International Endodontic Journal, 2023)Aim: To determine the prevalence of symptoms, clinical signs and radiographic presentation of external cervical resorption (ECR). Methodology: This study involved 215 ECR lesions in 194 patients referred ... -
Comparison of shear bond strength and microleakage between activa™ bioactive restorative™ and bulk-fill composites—an In vitro study
(Polymers, 2023)Bioactive materials have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional restorative materials as part of more conservative dentistry. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond ... -
Association between smoking and peri-implant diseases: a retrospective study
(Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2023)Objectives: To determine the association between tobacco and peri-implant diseases in a sample of patients who had received implant-supported restorations in a university dental clinic. Furthermore, the ... -
Properties of superelastic nickel–titanium wires after clinical use
(Materials, 2023)The aim of the present study was to describe and determine changes in the superelastic properties of NiTi archwires after clinical use and sterilization. Ten archwires from five different manufacturers ... -
Defect angle as prognostic indicator in the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis
(Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2023)Objective: To analyze the influence of the characteristics of bone defects caused by peri-implantitis on the clinical resolution and radiographic bone gain following reconstructive surgery. Methods: ... -
Enamel evaluation after debonding of fixed retention and polishing treatment with three different methods
(Materials, 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. ... -
Dynamic implant surgery—an accurate alternative to stereolithographic guides—systematic review and meta-analysis
(Dentistry Journal, 2023)(1) Background: Dynamic guided surgery is a computer-guided freehand technology that allows highly accurate procedures to be carried out in real time through motion-tracking instruments. The aim of this ... -
Effect of stabilized martensite on the long-term performance of superelastic NiTi endodontic files
(Materials, 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 ... -
Could dietary restrictions affect periodontal disease? A systematic review
(Clinical Oral Investigations, 2023)Objective: This review aimed at evaluating the possible benefits that caloric restriction (CR) may provide to periodontal disease progression and response to treatment. Material and methods: Electronic ... -
Relevant aspects of titanium topography for osteoblastic adhesion and inhibition of bacterial colonization
(Materials, 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, ... -
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 ... -
Effects of hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide treatment on bacterial disinfection treatments in implantoplasty procedures
(Materials, 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 ... -
Optimization of guanosine-based hydrogels with boric acid derivatives for enhanced long-term stability and cell survival
(Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023)Tissue defects can lead to serious health problems and often require grafts or transplants to repair damaged soft tissues. However, these procedures can be complex and may not always be feasible due to ... -
Implant surface physicochemistry affects keratinocyte hemidesmosome formation
(Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2023)Previous studies have shown hydrophilic/hydrophobic implant surfaces stimulate/hinder osseointegration. An analogous concept was applied here using common biological functional groups on a model surface ... -
Biomimetic mineralized hybrid scaffolds with antimicrobial peptides
