Wear in two cases of ceramic on ceramic total hip arthroplasty after 30 years follow up
(Biomedical Research Network, 2018)
Background: Ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been in use in total hip replacement (THR) for more than 40 years, with excellent long-term survivorship but concerns over the ceramic-on-ceramic ...
Impedimetric antimicrobial peptide-based sensor for the early detection of periodontopathogenic bacteria
(Elsevier, 2016-12-15)
Peri-implantitis, an inflammation caused by biofilm formation, constitutes a major cause of implant failure in dentistry. Thus, the detection of bacteria at the early steps of biofilm growth represents ...
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 ...
Synthesis and deposition of silver nanoparticles on cp Ti by laser ablation in open air for antibacterial effect in dental implants
(Elsevier, 2018-07-30)
Silver nanoparticles have been synthetized and deposited on cp Ti substrates in one-step process by the use of laser ablation in open air. The nanoparticles are produced by ablating Ag foil using two ...
Effect of different implant designs on strain and stress distribution under non-axial loading: a three-dimensional finite element analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
Implant design evolved alongside the development of implant therapy. The purpose of this finite element analysis (FEA) study was to analyze the influence of different implant designs on the stress and ...
Mimicking bone extracellular matrix: integrin-binding peptidomimetics enhance osteoblast-like cells adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on titanium
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)
Interaction between the surface of implants and biological tissues is a key aspect of biomaterials research. Apart from fulfilling the non-toxicity and structural requirements, synthetic materials are ...
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 ...
A dual molecular biointerface combining RGD and KRSR sequences Improves osteoblastic functions by synergizing integrin and cell-membrane proteoglycan binding
(MDPI, 2019-03-21)
Synergizing integrin and cell-membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan signaling on biomaterials through peptidic sequences is known to have beneficial effects in the attachment and behavior of osteoblasts; ...
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 ...
