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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mechanical characterization of dental prostheses manufactured with PMMA–graphene composites
(Materials, 2022)
The use of a PMMA composite with graphene is being commercialized for application as dental prostheses. The different proportions of fibers provide a wide range of colors that favors dental esthetics ...
The characterization of titanium particles released from bone-level titanium dental implants: effect of the size of particles on the ion release and cytotoxicity behaviour
(Materials, 2022)
Many studies are being carried out on the particles released during the implantoplasty process in the machining of dental implants to remove bacterial biofilms. However, there are no studies on the ...
Incidence of peri-implantitis and relationship with different conditions: a retrospective study
(MDPI, 2022)
Articles on the prevalence of peri-implant diseases showed that 90% of peri-implant tissues had some form of inflammatory response and a prevalence of peri-implantitis from 28% to 51% according to various ...
Effect of the size of titanium particles released from dental implants on immunological response
(MDPI, 2022)
The techniques used in oral implantology to remove bacterial biofilm from the surface of implants by machining the titanium surface (implantoplasty) or by placing rough dental implants through friction ...
On-growth and In-growth osseointegration enhancement in PM porous Ti-scaffolds by two different bioactivation strategies: alkali thermochemical treatment and RGD Ppeptide coating
(MDPI, 2022)
A lack of primary stability and osteointegration in metallic implants may result in implant loosening and failure. Adding porosity to metallic implants reduces the stress shielding effect and improves ...
Effect of fluoride content of mouthwashes on superelastic properties of NiTi orthodontic archwires
(MDPI, 2022)
The influence of sodium fluoride (NaF) concentration in mouthwashes on the properties of superelastic NiTi orthodontic wires has been studied. In this work, 55.8%Ni and 44.2%Ti (in weight) wires were ...
Optimization of titanium dental mesh surfaces for biological sealing and prevention of bacterial colonization
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium dental meshes have a wide application in order to ensure the retention of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials to regenerate bone tissue. These meshes are temporary and must grow a soft tissue ...
