Recent evidence suggests that genetic studies may contribute to a better understanding of
individual susceptibility to caries. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue …

The effect of LDH samples comprised of chloride anions intercalated between positive
layers of magnesium/aluminum (Mg‐Al LDH) or zinc/aluminum (Zn‐Al LDH) chemical …

Nanosized crystalline hydroxyapatite coating (HAnano®) accelerates the osteointegration of
dental implants which is hypothesized to drive angiogenesis. In order to test this hypothesis …

As osteogenesis is a multifactorial mechanism, we wonder whether osteoblast-induced
extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling might be modulated by trophic factors released by …

Amelogenin is the most abundant matrix protein in enamel. Proper amelogenin processing
by proteinases is necessary for its biological functions during amelogenesis. Matrix …

Large bone defects represent major clinical problems in the practice of reconstructive
orthopedic and craniofacial surgery. The aim of this study was to examine, through …

We have evaluated RECK (reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs), MMP-
2 (matrix metalloproteinase-2), MMP-3, and MMP-9 involvement during palate development …

The reciprocal and adaptive interactions between cells and substrates governing
morphological transitions in the osteoblast compartment remain largely obscure. Here we …

Natural molecules, such as flavonoid, are very welcome strategies to modulate bone
turnover. This prompted us to comprehend better the effect of silibinin on osteoblast …

Background The growing use of zirconia as a ceramic material in dentistry is attributed to its
biocompatibility, mechanical properties, esthetic appearance, and reduced bacterial …
