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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
"In vitro" study about variables that influence in arch friction with conventional and self-ligating brackets
(MDPI, 2019-10-09)
Many advantages have been described surrounding self-ligating (SL) brackets compared to metallic conventional ligating (CL) brackets, such as: Less total treatment time, alignment efficiency, patient ...
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 ...
Antibacterial coatings on titanium surfaces: a comparison study between in vitro single-species and multispecies biofilm
(American Chemical Society Publications, 2015)
Dental plaque is a biofilm that causes dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Most of the studies in antibacterial coatings have been conducted by in vitro single-species biofilm formation, but ...
Determination of fluid leakages in the different screw-retained implant-abutment connections in a mechanical artificial mouth
(Springer, 2015-07-15)
This study shows the potential risk of microfiltration between two different types of implant-abutment connections screwed at 45 Ncm: external and internal. For the first time the use of a mechanical ...
