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) ...
Surface immobilization chemistry of a laminin-derived peptide affects keratinocyte activity
(MDPI, 2020)
Many chemical routes have been proposed to immobilize peptides on biomedical device surfaces, and in particular, on dental implants to prevent peri-implantitis. While a number of factors affect peptide ...
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 ...
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 ...
In vitro comparison of the accuracy of four intraoral scanners and three conventional impression methods for two neighboring implants
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Purpose: To determine whether the accuracy of two-implant model impressions taken with optical scanners was inferior to that of those taken with elastomeric materials. Materials and Methods: Impressions ...
Relevant aspects of titanium and zirconia dental implants for their fatigue and osseointegration behaviors
(MDPI, 2022)
Osseointegration capacity and good mechanical behavior are key to the success of the dental implant. In many investigations, comparisons of properties are made using different dental implant designs and ...
Influence of implant design and under-preparation of the implant site on implant primary stability: an In vitro study
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different implant sites an under-preparation sequence associated with two different implant designs on implant primary stability measured by two ...
Relevant design aspects to improve the stability of titanium dental implants
(MDPI, 2020)
Post-extractional implants and immediate loading protocols are becoming much more frequent in everyday clinical practice. Given the existing literature about tapered implants, the objective of this paper ...
Do titanium mini-implants have the same quality of finishing and degree of contamination before and after different manipulations? An in vitro study
(MDPI, 2021)
Evaluate the quality of finishing and degree of contamination before and after handling and surface treatment of titanium (Ti) orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) study ...
