Anhydride-functional silane immobilized onto titanium surfaces induces osteoblast cell differentiation and reduces bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Supernumerary fourth molar and dental pathologies in a Chalcolithic individual from the El Mirador Cave site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2015)
We present a middle-aged Chalcolithic male with a supernumerary distomolar in the mandible. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in present-day populations is low, ranging from 0.1% to 3.4%; most ...
Influence of different CoCrMo counterfaces on wear in UHMWPE for artificial joints
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011)
Wear tests were carried out to study the effect of various counterface materials in the wear behaviour of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). The materials used as counterfaces were based ...
Interposition of a connective tissue graft or a collagen matrix to enhance wound stability – an experimental study in dogs
(Wiley, 2016)
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of a connective tissue graft (CTG) or a collagen matrix (CM) interpositioned between flaps and non-shedding hard surfaces on wound stability. Material ...
Impact of design and length on the accuracy of closed tray transfer copings
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2019)
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two closed-tray transfer copings for implant impressions (a new design vs. an old design) in two different lengths (short and long). ...
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 ...
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 ...
In-vitro development of a temporal abutment screw to protect osseointegration in immediate loaded implants
(The Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, 2015-04-23)
Purpose: In this study, a temporal abutment fixation screw, designed to fracture in a controlled way upon application of an occlusal force sufficient to produce critical micromotion was developed. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
