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 ...
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 ...
Relevant aspects of piranha passivation in Ti6Al4V alloy dental meshes
(MDPI, 2022)
Passivation of titanium alloy dental meshes cleans their surface and forms a thin layer of protective oxide (TiO2) on the surface of the material to improve resistance to corrosion and prevent release ...
Citric acid passivation of titanium dental implants for minimizing bacterial colonization impact
(MDPI, 2021)
Surface topography and physical-chemical properties usually play a key-role in both osseointegration improvement and bacterial colonization reduction over the surface of dental implants. The aim of this ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mechanical properties of CoCr dental-prosthesis restorations made by three manufacturing processes: influence of the microstructure and topography
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study is to compare the mechanical properties of three different dental restorations’ manufacturing processes (CADCAM milling, casting and laser sintering) generated by only one laboratory ...
Antibacterial properties of triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride silane (TESPSA) on titanium dental implants
(MDPI, 2020)
Infections related to dental implants are a common complication that can ultimately lead to implant failure, and thereby carries significant health and economic costs. In order to ward off these infections, ...
Differences between the fittings of dental prostheses produced by CAD-CAM and laser sintering processes
(MDPI, 2023)
Digital dentistry and new techniques for the dental protheses’ suprastructure fabrication have undergone a great evolution in recent years, revolutionizing the quality of dental prostheses. The aim of ...
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 ...
