This review paper describes several recent modification methods for biocompatible titanium
dental implant surfaces. The micro-roughened surfaces reviewed in the literature are …

As dental implants have become one of the main treatment options for patients with tooth
loss, the number of patients with peri-implant diseases has increased. Similar to periodontal …

Abstract Objective Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) incorporation in biomaterials is a promising
technology due to its photocatalytic and antibacterial activities. However, the antibacterial …

Dental implant therapy is a common clinical procedure for the restoration of missing teeth.
Many methods have been used to promote osseointegration for successful implant therapy …

State of the art approaches to produce photocatalytic surfaces generally require multiple
processing steps to achieve highly active surfaces. Following recent trends to facilitate the …

Few studies have been able to elucidate the correlation of factors determining the strength of
interaction between bacterial cells and substrate at the molecular level. The aim was to …

Titanium anodization has been shown to produce crystalline oxides exhibiting photocatalytic
reactions that form reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to UV light. The ROS …

Peri-implantitis is the major cause of the failure of dental implants. Since dental implants
have become one of the main therapies for teeth loss, the number of patients with peri …

Crystalline titanium oxides have shown photocatalytic activity (PCA) and the formation of
antibacterial reactive oxygen species (ROS) when stimulated with UV light. Polyaniline …

Studies have shown ultraviolet-A (UVA) irradiation of crystalline titanium oxides leads to the
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via a photocatalytic process. The ROS exhibit …
