Effect of temperature on the orthodontic clinical applications of NiTi closed-coil springs
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2013-07-01)
NiTi spring coils were used to obtain large deformation under a constant force. The device consists on a NiTi coil spring, superelastic at body temperature, in order to have a stress plateau during the ...
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, ...
Antifouling coatings for dental implants: PEG-like coatings on titanium by plasma polymerization
(American Vacuum Society, 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 ...
Corrosion behavior of titanium dental implants with implantoplasty
(MDPI, 2022)
The procedure generally used to remove bacterial biofilm adhering to the surface of titanium on dental implants is implantoplasty. This treatment is based on the machining of the titanium surface to ...
Accuracy of implant casts generated with conventional and digital impressions: an In vitro study
(MDPI, 2018)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of digital dental impressions with the accuracy of impressions obtained via conventional techniques. Methods: Two different master models were ...
In-situ laser directed energy deposition of biomedical Ti-Nb and Ti-Zr-Nb alloys from elemental powders
(MDPI, 2021)
In order to achieve the required properties of titanium implants, more resources and research are needed to turn into reality the dream of developing the perfect implant material. The objective of this ...
Enamel evaluation after debonding of fixed retention and polishing treatment with three different methods
(MDPI, 2023)
Lack of standardization of the retention phase has led to many studies of stability of movements and characteristic of retainers, disregarding the enamel repercussions of fixed retention on this phase. ...
NiTi superelastic orthodontic archwires with polyamide coating
(Springer, 2013-10-24)
Twenty orthodontic archwires with 55.2 % Ni and 44.8 % Ti (% weight) were subjected to a dipping treatment to coat the NiTi surface by a polyamide polymer. It has been selected a Polyamide 11 due to its ...
Benefits of residual aluminum oxide for sand blasting titanium dental implants: osseointegration and bactericidal effects
(MDPI, 2022)
Objectives. The purpose of this work was to determine the influence of residual alumina after sand blasting treatment in titanium dental implants. This paper studied the effect of alumina on physico-chemical ...
Effect of the nature of the particles released from bone level dental implants: physicochemical and biological characterization
(MDPI, 2022)
The placement of bone–level dental implants can lead to the detachment of particles in the surrounding tissues due to friction with the cortical bone. In this study, 60 bone–level dental implants were ...
