Implant surface physicochemistry affects keratinocyte hemidesmosome formation
(Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2023)Previous studies have shown hydrophilic/hydrophobic implant surfaces stimulate/hinder osseointegration. An analogous concept was applied here using common biological functional groups on a model surface ... -
Biomimetic mineralized hybrid scaffolds with antimicrobial peptides
(Bioactive Materials, 2021-08)Infection in hard tissue regeneration is a clinically-relevant challenge. Development of scaffolds with dual function for promoting bone/dental tissue growth and preventing bacterial infections is a ... -
Culture and characterization of various porcine integumentary-connective tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells to facilitate tissue adhesion to percutaneous metal implants
(Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021)Background: Transdermal osseointegrated prosthesis have relatively high infection rates leading to implant revision or failure. A principle cause for this complication is the absence of a durable ... -
Development of standard protocols for biofilm-biomaterial interface testing
(JADA Foundational Science, 2022)The oral biofilm is associated with the most common oral diseases such as caries, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. It is also linked to failures of dental treatment approaches (eg, direct or indirect ... -
Functional signatures of ex-vivo dental caries onset
(Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2022)Background: The etiology of dental caries remains poorly understood. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, a number of studies have focused on the microbial ecology of the disease. However, ... -
Discerning the subfibrillar structure of mineralized collagen fibrils: a model for the ultrastructure of bone
(PLoS ONE, 2013)Biomineralization templated by organic molecules to produce inorganic-organic nanocomposites is a fascinating example of nature using bottom-up strategies at nanoscale to accomplish highly ordered ... -
Antimicrobial GL13K peptide coatings killed and ruptured the wall of streptococcus gordonii and prevented formation and growth of biofilms
(PLoS ONE, 2014)Infection is one of the most prevalent causes for dental implant failure. We have developed a novel antimicrobial peptide coating on titanium by immobilizing the antimicrobial peptide GL13K. GL13K was ... -
Targeting the oral plaque microbiome with immobilized anti-biofilm peptides at tooth-restoration interfaces
(PLoS ONE, 2020)Recurrent caries, the development of carious lesions at the interface between the restorative material and the tooth structure, is highly prevalent and represents the primary cause for failure of dental ... -
PLA-based mineral-doped scaffolds seeded with human periapical cyst-derived MSCs: a promising tool for regenerative healing in dentistry
(Materials, 2019)Human periapical cyst mesenchymal stem cells (hPCy-MSCs) are a newly discovered cell population innovatively collected from inflammatory periapical cysts. The use of this biological waste guarantees a ... -
Surface immobilization chemistry of a laminin-derived peptide affects keratinocyte activity
(Coatings, 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 ... -
Junctional epithelium and hemidesmosomes: tape and rivets for solving the “percutaneous device dilemma” in dental and other permanent implants
(Bioactive Materials, 2022-12)The percutaneous device dilemma describes etiological factors, centered around the disrupted epithelial tissue surrounding non-remodelable devices, that contribute to rampant percutaneous device infection. ... -
Guiding bone formation using semi-onlay calcium phosphate implants in an ovine calvarial model
(Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2022)The restoration of cranio-maxillofacial deformities often requires complex reconstructive surgery in a challenging anatomical region, with abnormal soft tissue structures and bony deficits. In this ... -
Chitosan-recombinamer layer-by-layer coatings for multifunctional implants
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017)The main clinical problems for dental implants are (1) formation of biofilm around the implant—a condition known as peri-implantitis and (2) inadequate bone formation around the implant—lack of ... -
Enamel evaluation after debonding of fixed retention and polishing treatment with three different methods
(Materials, 2023)Lack of standardization of the retention phase has led to many studies of stability of movements and characteristic of retainers, disregarding the enamel repercussions of fixed retention on this phase. ... -
Association of nine pathobionts with periodontitis in four South American and European countries
(Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023)Aim: Our aim was to compare the prevalence and load of nine pathobionts in subgingival samples of healthy individuals and periodontitis patients from four different countries. Methods: Five hundred and ... -
Effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis in patients with tension-type headache: a randomized controlled trial
(PLoS ONE, 2023)Background: Manual therapy appears to be effective for the relief of tension-type headache (TTH), just as diacutaneous fibrolysis (DF) has shown to be a beneficial technique for the relief of symptoms ... -
Effect of load distribution on trunk muscle activity with lunge exercises in amateur athletes: cross-sectional study
(Healthcare, 2023)Background: The effect of load distribution applied to the trunk musculature with lunge exercises has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of load placement using ... -
Effects of occipital-atlas stabilization on the upper cervical spine rotation combinations: an in vitro study
