Mineralization of titanium surfaces: biomimetic implants
(MDPI, 2021)
The surface modification by the formation of apatitic compounds, such as hydroxyapatite, improves biological fixation implants at an early stage after implantation. The structure, which is identical to ...
Influence of the CAD-CAM systems on the marginal accuracy and mechanical properties of dental restorations
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study was to compare the quality of different computer-assisted-design and computer assisted manufacturing systems (CAD-CAM) generated by only one scanner, focusing on vertical fit ...
Use of porous titanium trabecular as a bone defect regenerator: in vivo study
(MDPI, 2022)
The application of porous materials is increasingly being used in orthopaedic surgery due to its good results. Bone growth within the pores results in excellent mechanical fixation with the bone, as ...
Optimization of guanosine-based hydrogels with boric acid derivatives for enhanced long-term stability and cell survival
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Tissue defects can lead to serious health problems and often require grafts or transplants to repair damaged soft tissues. However, these procedures can be complex and may not always be feasible due to ...
In vitro study of preload loss in different implant abutment connection designs
(MDPI, 2022)
The stability and integrity of the abutment-implant connection, by means of a screw, is fallible from the moment the prosthetic elements are joined and is dependent on the applied preload, wear of the ...
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, ...
Antibacterial approaches in tissue engineering using metal ions and nanoparticles: from mechanisms to applications
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Bacterial infection of implanted scaffolds may have fatal consequences and, in combination with the emergence of multidrug bacterial resistance, the development of advanced antibacterial biomaterials ...
Direct extrusion of individually encapsulated endothelial and smooth muscle cells mimicking blood vessel structures and vascular native cell alignment
(IOP Science, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered the principal cause of worldwide death, being atherosclerosis the main etiology. Up to now, the predominant treatment for CVDs has been bypass surgery from ...
Effects of different undersizing site preparations on implant stability
(MDPI, 2020)
As immediate loading protocols are becoming more frequent, the primary stability of implants has become an essential criterion for the osseointegration of dental implants. Based on this, the objective ...
New bactericide orthodonthic archwire: NiTi with silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020)
A potential new bactericide treatment for NiTi orthodontic archwires based in the electrodeposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface was studied. Twenty-five archwires were treated by electrodeposition, ...
