NiTi superelastic orthodontic archwires with polyamide coating
(Springer, 2013-10-24)
Twenty orthodontic archwires with 55.2 % Ni and 44.8 % Ti (% weight) were subjected to a dipping treatment to coat the NiTi surface by a polyamide polymer. It has been selected a Polyamide 11 due to its ...
Antibiotic-loaded polypropylene surgical meshes with suitable biological behaviour by plasma functionalization and polymerization
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
Hernia repair is one of the most common operations in general surgery, and its associated complications typically relate to infections, among others. The loading of antibiotics to surgical meshes to ...
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 ...
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, ...
Effect of temperature on the orthodontic clinical applications of NiTi closed-coil springs
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2013-07-01)
NiTi spring coils were used to obtain large deformation under a constant force. The device consists on a NiTi coil spring, superelastic at body temperature, in order to have a stress plateau during the ...
Advances in surfaces and osseointegration in implantology. Biomimetic surfaces
(Medicina Oral, 2015)
The present work is a revision of the processes occurring in osseointegration of titanium dental implants according to different types of surfaces -namely, polished surfaces, rough surfaces obtained ...
Development of tantalum scaffold for orthopaedic applications produced by space-holder method
(Elsevier, 2015-10-15)
In the present study, production of tantalum porous scaffolds using the space holder technique was performed. The effect of size and content of sodium chloride particles, used as space holder, as well ...
Silver deposition on titanium surface by electrochemical anodizing process reduces bacterial adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis and Lactobacillus salivarius
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial properties of silver-doped titanium surfaces prepared with a novel electrochemical anodizing process. Material and methods: Titanium ...
Antimicrobial peptides: powerful biorecognition elements to detect bacteria in biosensing technologies
(MDPI, 2018-07-10)
Bacterial infections represent a serious threat in modern medicine. In particular, biofilm
treatment in clinical settings is challenging, as biofilms are very resistant to conventional antibiotic
therapy ...
Resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell system, using the transducer screwed to different healings abutments
(Sociedade Portuguesa de Estomatologia e Medicina Dentária, 2017)
Objectives: compare the ISQ values obtained by the Osstell ISQ, screwing the Smarpeg directly to the implant or to the new designed healing abutments of 2, 3.5 and 5 mm of height. Methods: 60 rough ...
