Fabricating a porous scaffold with high surface area has been a major strategy in the tissue
engineering field. Among the many fabrication methods, electrospinning has become one of …

Purpose: Routine tooth polishing continues to be an integral part of clinical practice even
though the concept of selective polishing was introduced in the 1980s. This procedure …

Thanks to the continuous development of light-curing resin composites it is now possible to
print permanent single-tooth restorations. The purpose of this study was to compare resin …

Background: Supragingivally applied glycine powder air polishing (SupraGPAP) has been
shown to remove biofilms in shallow periodontal pockets. This study assesses efficacy and …

We present an advanced image analysis study of the 3D surfaces of silver/diamond-like
carbon nanocomposite films prepared by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical …

Background Increased composite roughness enhances bacterial adhesion and
discoloration, thus increasing the risk of gingival inflammation and secondary caries …

Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate morphological changes induced by
glycine powder air polishing on titanium surfaces and its effect on bacteria recolonization in …

We performed qualitative and quantitative analysis of surfaces of kefir biofilms loaded with
Amazon rainforest fruit extract. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy …

Biocompatibility is defined as “the ability of a biomaterial, prosthesis, or medical device to
perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application”. Biocompatibility is …

Air-polishing with low abrasiveness powders is fast arising as a valid and mini-invasive
instrument for the management of biofilm colonizing dental implants. In general, the reported …
