Effect of implantoplasty on roughness, fatigue and corrosion behavior of narrow diameter dental implants
(MDPI, 2023)
Implantoplasty (IP) is used in dental implants with peri-implantitis and aims to remove threads and polish rough surfaces in order to prevent bacterial colonization. As a result of this procedure, implant ...
Effect of fluoride content of mouthwashes on the metallic ion release in different orthodontics archwires
(MDPI, 2023)
Metal ion release studies were carried out on three of the most commonly used orthodontic wires in the clinic: austenitic stainless steel, Ti-Mo, and superelastic NiTi, using three mouthwashes with ...
Bacteriostatic poly rthylene glycol plasma coatings for orthodontic titanium mini-implants
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium mini-implants are used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. However, these implants present problems due to the infection of surrounding tissues. The aim of this work was to obtain a ...
Oral health conditions and self-reported presence of pain in rowers: an epidemiology study
(Scientific Electronic Library Online, 2021)
Introduction: Rowers are especially prone to oral health problems due to the massive consumption of supplements and isotonic drinks that lead eating disorders, due to the need for weight control, and ...
Novel digital technique to analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of the orthodontic micro-screws placement
(MDPI, 2021)
To analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws placement, a total of 60 orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws were randomly distributed into ...
State of the art of different zirconia materials and their indications according to evidence-based clinical performance: a narrative review
(MDPI, 2023)
The aim of this study was to perform a narrative review to identify the modifications applied to the chemical structure of third- and fourth-generation zirconia ceramics and to determine the influence ...
A 3D finite element analysis model of single implant-supported prosthesis under dynamic impact loading for evaluation of stress in the crown, abutment and cortical bone using different rehabilitation materials
(MDPI, 2021)
In the literature, many researchers investigated static loading effects on an implant. However, dynamic loading under impact loading has not been investigated formally using numerical methods. This study ...
Polydopamine incorporation enhances cell differentiation and antibacterial properties of 3D-printed guanosine-borate hydrogels for functional tissue regeneration
(MDPI, 2023)
Tissue engineering focuses on the development of materials as biosubstitutes that can be used to regenerate, repair, or replace damaged tissues. Alongside this, 3D printing has emerged as a promising ...
Polyethylene glycol pulsed electrodeposition for the development of antifouling coatings on titanium
(MDPI, 2020)
Titanium dental implants are widely used for the replacement of damaged teeth. However, bacterial infections at the interface between soft tissues and the implant can impair the functionality of the ...
Could dietary restrictions affect periodontal disease? A systematic review
(Springer Link, 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 ...
