Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

Nanoscale surface modification of titanium-based orthopaedic and dental implants is
routinely applied to augment bioactivity, however, as is the case with other cells, bacterial …

From basic science and fundamental procedures to the latest advanced techniques in
reconstructive, esthetic, and implant therapy, Newman and Carranza's Clinical …

Objectives To compile the current evidence regarding the association between the release
of titanium particles and biologic complications of dental implants. Material and methods …

The influence of microorganisms growing as sessile communities in a large number of
human infections has been extensively studied and recognized for 30–40 years, therefore …

Background: From an ecological viewpoint, the oral cavity, in fact the oro‐pharynx, is an
'open growth system'. It undergoes an uninterrupted introduction and removal of both …

Background This study aims to investigate bacterial adhesion on different titanium and
ceramic implant surfaces, to correlate these findings with surface roughness and surface …

Background: It has been hypothesized that zirconia might have a reduced bacterial
adhesion compared with titanium; however, results from experimental studies are rather …

Background: Little is known about the mechanisms of bacterial interaction with implant
materials in the oral cavity. A correlation between plaque accumulation and progressive …

The use of oral implants in the rehabilitation of partially and fully edentulous patients is
widely accepted even though failures do occur. The chance for implants to integrate can for …
