Antimicrobial GL13K peptide coatings killed and ruptured the wall of streptococcus gordonii and prevented formation and growth of biofilms
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Infection is one of the most prevalent causes for dental implant failure. We have developed a novel antimicrobial peptide coating on titanium by immobilizing the antimicrobial peptide GL13K. GL13K was ...
Two different strategies to enhance osseointegration in porous titanium: inorganic thermo-chemical treatment versus organic coating by peptide adsorption
(MDPI, 2018)
In this study, highly-interconnected porous titanium implants were produced by powder sintering with different porous diameters and open interconnectivity. The actual foams were produced using high cost ...
Evaluation of bone loss in antibacterial coated dental implants: an experimental study in dogs
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effect of antibacterial modified dental implants in the first stages of peri-implantitis. Thirty dental implants were inserted in the mandibular premolar ...
Influence of the elastic modulus on the osseointegration of dental implants
(MDPI, 2019-03-25)
The load transfer from metallic prosthesis to tissue plays an important role in the success
of a designed device. From a mechanical behavior point of view, the load transfer will be favored
when the ...
Topical applications of vitamin D on implant surface for bone-to-implant contact enhance: a pilot study in dogs part II
(Wiley, 2015)
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical application of vitamin D over implant surface, placed immediately to the extraction, throughout histological and histomorphometric ...
Mechanical characterisation and biomechanical and biological behaviours of Ti-Zr binary-alloy dental implants
(Hindawi, 2017)
The objective of the study is to characterise the mechanical properties of Ti-15Zr binary alloy dental implants and to describe their biomechanical behaviour as well as their osseointegration capacity ...
Antibacterial properties of hLf1-11 peptide onto titanium surfaces: a comparison study between silanization and surface initiated polymerization
(ACS Publications, 2015)
Dental implant failure can be associated with infections that develop into peri-implantitis. In order to reduce biofilm formation, several strategies focusing on the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
