Influence of insertion torques on the surface integrity in different dental implants: an ex vivo descriptive study
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: The primary objective of this ex vivo study was to assess the influence of increasing insertion torques on three types of dental implants and possible alterations of their microgeometry after ...
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) ...
Tuning mesenchymal stem cell response onto titanium-niobium-hafnium alloy by recombinant fibronectin fragments
(ACS Publications, 2016)
Since metallic biomaterials used for bone replacement possess low bioactivity, the use of cell adhesive moieties is a common strategy to improve cellular response onto these surfaces. In recent years, ...
Intra- and inter-examiner reliability in classifying periodontitis according to the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases
(Wiley, 2022)
Aim: To evaluate the inter-examiner reliability in classifying periodontitis using the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases, when used by postgraduate students, academics, and specialist clinicians ...
Dental pulp of the third molar: a new source of pluripotent-like stem cells
(Company of Biologists, 2012-09-05)
Dental pulp is particularly interesting in regenerative medicine because of the accessibility and differentiation potential of the tissue.
Dental pulp has an early developmental origin with multi-lineage ...
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 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 ...
Tongue-tie: incidence and outcomes in breastfeeding after lingual frenotomy in 2333 newborns
(MRE Press, 2022)
Aim: To determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in newborns with breastfeeding problems and to assess the effectiveness of frenotomy in the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding at 1 month, 3 months ...
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 ...
