Laser-deposited beta type Ti-42Nb alloy with anisotropic mechanical properties for pioneering biomedical implants with a very low elastic modulus
(MDPI, 2022)
Present commercial titanium alloy implants have an elastic modulus higher than 100 GPa, whereas that of the cortical bone is much smaller (17–28 GPa). This elastic modulus mismatch produces a stress ...
Immediate effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis in athletes with hamstring shortening. A randomized within-participant clinical trial
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
Background: Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a non-invasive instrumental physiotherapeutic technique, used to treat mechanical or inflammatory pain and normalize function in the musculoskeletal system. Different ...
Titanium surface characteristics induce the specific reprogramming of toll-like receptor signaling in macrophages
(MDPI, 2022)
Most of the research on titanium-based dental implants (Ti-discs) is focused on how they are able to stimulate the formation of new tissue and/or cytotoxic studies, with very scarce data on their effects ...
Tongue-tie: incidence and outcomes in breastfeeding after lingual frenotomy in 2333 newborns
(MRE Press, 2022)
Aim: To determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in newborns with breastfeeding problems and to assess the effectiveness of frenotomy in the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding at 1 month, 3 months ...
Citric acid in the passivation of titanium dental implants: corrosion resistance and bactericide behavior
(MDPI, 2022)
The passivation of titanium dental implants is performed in order to clean the surface and obtain a thin layer of protective oxide (TiO2) on the surface of the material in order to improve its behavior ...
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 ...
Exploring the expression of pro-inflammatory and hypoxia-related MicroRNA-20a, MicroRNA-30e, and MicroRNA-93 in periodontitis and gingival mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxia
(MDPI, 2022)
Hypoxia associated with inflammation are common hallmarks observed in several diseases, and it plays a major role in the expression of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs). In addition, the ...
Significance of barrier membrane on the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis: a randomized controlled trial
(Wiley, 2022)
Background: he objective of this trial was to investigate the clinical and radiographic significance of using a mixture of mineralized and demineralized allografts in combination (M) or not (NM) with a ...
Clinical outcomes and associated factors in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis, combining mechanical debridement and prosthesis modification: a 30-month follow-up prospective case series
(John Wiley & Sons, 2022)
Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome and the associated factors of a treatment protocol for peri-implant mucositis. Materials and Methods: Patients were evaluated 30 months after a treatment protocol ...
Intra- and inter-examiner reliability in classifying periodontitis according to the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases
(Wiley, 2022)
Aim: To evaluate the inter-examiner reliability in classifying periodontitis using the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases, when used by postgraduate students, academics, and specialist clinicians ...
