Development of biomimetic NiTi alloy: influence of thermo-chemical treatment on the physical, mechanical and biological behavior
(MDPI, 2016)
A bioactive layer, free of nickel, has been performed for its greater acceptability and reliability in clinical applications for NiTi shape memory alloys. In the first step, a safe barrier against Ni ...
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 ...
Supernumerary fourth molar and dental pathologies in a Chalcolithic individual from the El Mirador Cave site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2015)
We present a middle-aged Chalcolithic male with a supernumerary distomolar in the mandible. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in present-day populations is low, ranging from 0.1% to 3.4%; most ...
Influence of implant design and under-preparation of the implant site on implant primary stability: an In vitro study
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different implant sites an under-preparation sequence associated with two different implant designs on implant primary stability measured by two ...
Relevant design aspects to improve the stability of titanium dental implants
(MDPI, 2020)
Post-extractional implants and immediate loading protocols are becoming much more frequent in everyday clinical practice. Given the existing literature about tapered implants, the objective of this paper ...
Oral colonization by levilactobacillus brevis KABPTM-052 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABPTM-051: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial (pilot study)
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2021)
Background: To determine the oral colonization capacity of the strains Levilactobacillus brevis KABPTM-052 (CECT 7480) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABPTM-051 (CECT 7481) in healthy subjects. ...
Analysis of moral reasoning in dentistry students through case-based learning (CBL)
(Wiley, 2021)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a tool to analyze the ethical dimensions during dental students' decision making, by using case-based learning (CBL). Methods: Five clinical scenarios ...
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 ...
Discerning the subfibrillar structure of mineralized collagen fibrils: a model for the ultrastructure of bone
(Public Library of Science, 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 ...
Six-month color change and water sorption of 9 new-generation flowable composites in 6 staining solutions
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica, 2016-11-28)
Color match and water sorption are two factors that affect restorative materials. Discoloration is essential in the lifespan of restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate color change and water ...
