Influence of the elastic modulus on the osseointegration of dental implants
(MDPI, 2019-03-25)
The load transfer from metallic prosthesis to tissue plays an important role in the success
of a designed device. From a mechanical behavior point of view, the load transfer will be favored
when the ...
Citric acid passivation of titanium dental implants for minimizing bacterial colonization impact
(MDPI, 2021)
Surface topography and physical-chemical properties usually play a key-role in both osseointegration improvement and bacterial colonization reduction over the surface of dental implants. The aim of this ...
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 ...
Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(MDPI, 2020)
Although ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about ...
Comparison of zirconia degradation in dental implants and femoral balls: an X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Background: New tetragonal zirconia polycrystal dental implants stabilized with yttria (Y-TZP) have appeared in the implantology market in the form of single piece or two-piece zircona implant system. ...
Ion release from dental implants, prosthetic abutments and crowns under physiological and acidic conditions
(MDPI, 2021)
Ion release from dental implants and prosthetic restoration can affect osteointegration and implant viability over a long period of time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to study the ion release ...
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. ...
Enhanced osteoconductivity on electrically charged titanium implants treated by physicochemical surface modifications methods
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Biomimetic design is a key tenet of orthopedic device technology, and in particular the development of responsive surfaces that promote ion exchange with interfacing tissues, facilitating the ionic ...
Surface guidance of stem cell behavior: chemically tailored co-presentation of integrin-binding peptides stimulates osteogenic differentiation in vitro and bone formation in vivo
(Elsevier, 2016-10-01)
Surface modification stands out as a versatile technique to create instructive biomaterials that are able to actively direct stem cell fate. Chemical functionalization of titanium has been used in this ...
