Multiple ion scaffold-based delivery platform for potential application in early stages of bone regeneration
(MDPI, 2021)
Bone has the intrinsic capacity to regenerate itself, as long as the damage is small, through the sequential stimulation of specific phases, such as angiogenesis followed by osteogenesis. However, when ...
Influence of bone-level dental implants placement and of cortical thickness on osseointegration: in silico and in vivo analyses
(MDPI, 2022)
The purpose of this research is to study the biomechanical response of dental implants in bone-level type locations, 0.5 mm above and below the bone level. In addition, the influence of the thickness ...
COVID-19 lockdown: impact on oral health-related behaviors and practices of portuguese and spanish children
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to assess and compare the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on the oral health attitudes, dietary habits and access to dental care of Portuguese and Spanish children. A cross-sectional ...
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 ...
Impact of design and length on the accuracy of closed tray transfer copings
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2019)
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two closed-tray transfer copings for implant impressions (a new design vs. an old design) in two different lengths (short and long). ...
A Comparison of Apical Transportation between FlexMaster and Twisted Files Rotary Instruments
(Elsevier, 2012)
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate apical transportation in root canals after the use of Twisted Files (TF; SybronEndo, Orange, CA) and FlexMaster (VDW, Munich, Germany) #40/04 rotary ...
Effect of implantoplasty on roughness, fatigue and corrosion behavior of narrow diameter dental implants
(MDPI, 2023)
Implantoplasty (IP) is used in dental implants with peri-implantitis and aims to remove threads and polish rough surfaces in order to prevent bacterial colonization. As a result of this procedure, implant ...
Does the use of a 3-mm extended tray during an at-home bleaching treatment increase gingival irritation? A randomized clinical trial
(Elsevier, 2024)
Statement of problem: Gingival irritation is a common side effect of at-home bleaching, but how the design of the bleaching tray affects its occurrence is unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this randomized ...
Adjunctive effect of modifying the implant-supported prosthesis in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis
(Wiley, 2019)
Aim: To evaluate the adjunctive effect of modifying the implant-supported prosthesis to facilitate access to oral hygiene when treating peri-implant mucositis. Material and methods: A 6-month randomized ...
Selecting biomaterials in the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis
(Wiley, 2023-09)
Peri-implantitis is a pathogenic inflammatory condition characterized by progressive bone loss and clinical inflammation that may compromise the stability of dental implants. Therapeutic modalities have ...
