Advances in surfaces and osseointegration in implantology. Biomimetic surfaces
(Medicina Oral, Patología Oral y Cirugía Bucal, 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 ... -
Analysis of moral reasoning in dentistry students through case-based learning (CBL)
(Journal of Dental Education, 2021)Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a tool to analyze the ethical dimensions during dental students' decision making, by using case-based learning (CBL). Methods: Five clinical scenarios ... -
Anhydride-functional silane immobilized onto titanium surfaces induces osteoblast cell differentiation and reduces bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation
(Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2016)Bacterial infection in dental implants along with osseointegration failure usually leads to loss of the device. Bioactive molecules with antibacterial properties can be attached to titanium surfaces ... -
Antibacterial coatings on titanium surfaces: a comparison study between in vitro single-species and multispecies biofilm
(ACS applied materials and interfaces, 2015)Dental plaque is a biofilm that causes dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Most of the studies in antibacterial coatings have been conducted by in vitro single-species biofilm formation, but ... -
Antibacterial properties of hLf1-11 peptide onto titanium surfaces: a comparison study between silanization and surface initiated polymerization
(Biomacromolecules, 2015)Dental implant failure can be associated with infections that develop into peri-implantitis. In order to reduce biofilm formation, several strategies focusing on the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) ... -
Antibacterial properties of triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride silane (TESPSA) on titanium dental implants
(Polymers, 2020)Infections related to dental implants are a common complication that can ultimately lead to implant failure, and thereby carries significant health and economic costs. In order to ward off these infections, ... -
Antifouling coatings for dental implants: PEG-like coatings on titanium by plasma polymerization
(Biointerphases: an open access journal for the biomaterials interface community, 2015-06)Titanium dental implants are commonly used for the replacement of lost teeth, but they present a considerable number of failures due to the infection on surrounding tissues. The aim of this paper is the ... -
Antimicrobial GL13K peptide coatings killed and ruptured the wall of streptococcus gordonii and prevented formation and growth of biofilms
(PLoS ONE, 2014)Infection is one of the most prevalent causes for dental implant failure. We have developed a novel antimicrobial peptide coating on titanium by immobilizing the antimicrobial peptide GL13K. GL13K was ... -
Applications of maxillary tuberosity block autograft
(Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 2022)Objective: Autogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard due to their compatibility and osteogenic potential to induce new bone formation through osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. ... -
Association between smoking and peri-implant diseases: a retrospective study
