Mechanical and physicochemical characterization along with biological interactions of a new Ti25Nb21Hf alloy for bone tissue engineering
(SAGE Publications, 2015-03-23)
Nowadays, one of the main challenges in metal implants for bone substitution is the achievement of an elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone as well as to provide an adequate interaction ...
Influence of connection type and platform diameter on titanium dental implants fatigue: non-axial loading cyclic test analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
Two-pieces dental implants must provide stability of the implant-abutment-interface. The connection type and platform diameter could influence the biomechanical resistance and stress distribution. This ...
One-step liquid phase polymerization of HEMA by atmospheric-pressure plasma discharges for Ti dental implants
(MDPI, 2021)
Dental implants can fail due to various factors, in which bad tissue integration is believed to have a significant role. Specific properties of the implant surface, such as its chemistry and roughness, ...
Comparison of the superelasticity of different nickel–titanium orthodontic archwires and the loss of their properties by heat treatment
(Springer Nature, 2016)
The aim of this work is to describe and compare mechanical properties of eight widely used nickel–titanium orthodontic wires under uniform testing conditions and to determine the influence of the heat ...
Surface immobilization and bioactivity of TGF-ß1 inhibitor peptides for bone implant applications
(Wiley, 2016-02-01)
TGF-ß1 is the most related cytokine with the production of fibrotic tissue. It plays an important role on the production of collagen by fibroblasts and other types of cells. The inhibition of this ...
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 ...
Biofunctionalization strategies on tantalum-based materials for osseointegrative applications
(Springer Nature, 2015)
The use of tantalum as biomaterial for orthopedic applications is gaining considerable attention in the clinical practice because it presents an excellent chemical stability, body fluid resistance, ...
Installing multifunctionality on titanium with RGD-decorated polyurethane-polyurea roxithromycin loaded nanoparticles: toward new osseointegrative therapies
(Wiley, 2015)
A novel class of polyurethane-polyurea nanoparticles (PUUa NPs) to install multifunctionality on biomaterials is presented. Biofunctionalization of titanium with roxithromycin loaded RGD-decorated PUUa ...
Porous titanium-hydroxyapatite composite coating obtained on titanium by cold gas spray with high bond strength for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019-04-24)
The lack of bioactivity of titanium (Ti) is one of the main drawbacks for its application in biomedical implants since it can considerable reduce its osseointegration capacities. One strategy to overcome ...
Polyethylene glycol pulsed electrodeposition for the development of antifouling coatings on titanium
(MDPI, 2020)
Titanium dental implants are widely used for the replacement of damaged teeth. However, bacterial infections at the interface between soft tissues and the implant can impair the functionality of the ...
