A radiographic and clinical comparison of immediate vs. early loading (4 weeks) of implants with a new thermo-chemically treated surface: a randomized clinical trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Implant dentistry has evolved over time, resulting in better treatment outcomes for both patients and clinicians. The aim of this trial was to test whether the immediate loading of implants ...
Fatigue of narrow dental implants: influence of the hardening method
(MDPI, 2020)
The use of narrow titanium dental implants (NDI) for small ridges, reduced interdental space, or missing lateral incisors can be a viable option when compared to the conventional wider dental implants. ...
Improving accuracy of the intermediate splint in substantial intermaxillary sagittal discrepancies using an extra anterior anchorage point: technical note
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2021-03)
Background: To describe a technical feature that increases the stability of the intermediate splint in patients where bimaxillary surgery with great maxillary/mandibular advancements are planned. Material ...
Effect of the acid-etching on grit-blasted dental implants to improve osseointegration: histomorphometric analysis of the bone-implant contact in the rabbit tibia model
(MDPI, 2021)
Previous studies have shown that the most reliable way to evaluate the success of an implant is by bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Recent techniques allow modifications to the implant surface that improve ...
Comparison of changes in the dental transverse and sagittal planes between patients treated with self-ligating and with conventional brackets
(Scientific Electronic Library Online, 2020)
Introduction: Several advantages have been established regarding the efficiency of self-ligating brackets (SL). In spite of some controversy surrounding this question in the literature, clinical results ...
Physicochemical and biological characterization of Ti6Al4V particles obtained by implantoplasty: an in vitro study. Part I
(MDPI, 2021)
Implantoplasty is a mechanical decontamination technique that consists of polishing the supra-osseous component of the dental implant with peri-implantitis. This technique releases metal particles in ...
In vitro study of shear bond strength in direct and indirect bonding with three types of adhesive systems
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remaining index (ARI) using one conventional and two novel adhesive systems with clinical step reduction and direct and indirect ...
Short implants (<8mm) versus longer implants (≥8mm) with lateral sinus floor augmentation in posterior atrophic maxilla: a meta-analysis of RCT's in humans
(Medicina Oral Patologia Oral y Cirugia Bucal, 2020)
Background: One of the greatest challenges that dentists face today is to rehabilitate severe atrophied alveolar ridges in partially and completely edentulous patients with implants. Despite the high ...
Oral colonization by levilactobacillus brevis KABPTM-052 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABPTM-051: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial (pilot study)
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2021)
Background: To determine the oral colonization capacity of the strains Levilactobacillus brevis KABPTM-052 (CECT 7480) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABPTM-051 (CECT 7481) in healthy subjects. ...
Novel digital technique to analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of the orthodontic micro-screws placement
(MDPI, 2021)
To analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws placement, a total of 60 orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws were randomly distributed into ...
