Clinical and radiographic outcomes of zirconia dental implants - a clinical case series study
(MDPI, 2022)
The purpose of this clinical series was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 20 zirconia dental implants, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Patients with at least one zirconia ...
Effects of different undersizing site preparations on implant stability
(MDPI, 2020)
As immediate loading protocols are becoming more frequent, the primary stability of implants has become an essential criterion for the osseointegration of dental implants. Based on this, the objective ...
Clinical comparison of instrumentation systems for periodontal debridement: a randomized clinical trial
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-05)
Objective: To compare clinical efficacy, chairside time, and post-treatment hypersensitivity of four instruments used for subgingival periodontal debridement. Materials & Methods: Seventeen patients ...
New bactericide orthodonthic archwire: NiTi with silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020)
A potential new bactericide treatment for NiTi orthodontic archwires based in the electrodeposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface was studied. Twenty-five archwires were treated by electrodeposition, ...
Discovering the potential of dental pulp stem cells for corneal endothelial cell production: a proof of concept
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Failure of corneal endothelium cell monolayer is the main cause leading to corneal transplantation. Autologous cell-based therapies are required to reconstruct in vitro the cell monolayer. Several ...
Volumetric changes in alveolar ridge preservation with a compromised buccal wall: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Medicina Oral, 2020-09-01)
Background: Many studies have addressed socket preservation, though fewer publications considering buccal wall loss can be found, since the literature typically considers sockets with four walls. A ...
Is cervical stabilization exercise immediately effective in patients with chronic neck pain and upper cervical spine dysfunction? Randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of a single exercise session with manual therapy techniques in the segments of the upper cervical spine (C0–1, C1–2 and C2–3), against a single exercise session in ...
Is systemic inflammation a missing link between periodontitis and hypertension? Results from two largepopulation-based surveys
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020)
Objective: The primary objective was to investigate the relationship between periodontitis and hypertension in two independent large surveys. The secondary objective was to ascertain whether systemic ...
Intra-osseous heat generation during implant bed preparation with static navigation: multi-factor in vitro study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)
Objectives: To compare the intra-osseous temperature reached during bone drilling for dental implant placement using open versus closed static surgical guides and evaluate the influence of bone density, ...
Culture and characterization of various porcine integumentary-connective tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells to facilitate tissue adhesion to percutaneous metal implants
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Background: Transdermal osseointegrated prosthesis have relatively high infection rates leading to implant revision or failure. A principle cause for this complication is the absence of a durable ...
