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 ...
Development of standard protocols for biofilm-biomaterial interface testing
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Effect of stabilized martensite on the long-term performance of superelastic NiTi endodontic files
(MDPI, 2023)
One of the most used rotary files in endodontics is NiTi files due to their superelastic properties. This property means that this instrument has extraordinary flexion that can adapt to large angles ...
COVID-19 lockdown: impact on oral health-related behaviors and practices of portuguese and spanish children
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to assess and compare the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on the oral health attitudes, dietary habits and access to dental care of Portuguese and Spanish children. A cross-sectional ...
Effects of occipital-atlas stabilization on the upper cervical spine rotation combinations: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2023)
The purpose of this study is to compare axial rotation range of motion for the upper cervical spine during three movements: axial rotation, rotation + flexion + ipsilateral lateral bending and ...
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 ...
Polydopamine incorporation enhances cell differentiation and antibacterial properties of 3D-printed guanosine-borate hydrogels for functional tissue regeneration
(MDPI, 2023)
Tissue engineering focuses on the development of materials as biosubstitutes that can be used to regenerate, repair, or replace damaged tissues. Alongside this, 3D printing has emerged as a promising ...
Immediate effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis in athletes with hamstring shortening. A randomized within-participant clinical trial
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
Background: Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a non-invasive instrumental physiotherapeutic technique, used to treat mechanical or inflammatory pain and normalize function in the musculoskeletal system. Different ...
