Background: Dental implants have become the standard for replacing missing teeth.
However, patients' demands for shorter treatment times and the desire for aesthetics in their …

In the last forty years, dental implantology has become a widespread worldwide clinical
practice in medicine, able to rehabilitate partial or full human edentulism of the jaw and …

In this study, we propose a vacuum plasma device for surface treatment of dental implants.
This plasma device was designed to allow direct installation of sealed implant packaging …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) consist of two-dimensional, positively charged lamellar
structures with the ability to host various anions in the interlayer spaces, which grants them …

The intermediate water (IW) concept has been hypothesized to predict the biocompatibility of
polymers and inorganic materials. This study, for the first time, prepared the composite …

Purpose: To monitor the early bone reaction in a canine model to a conventional
sandblasted and dual acid-etched implant surface (ABT), a nanostructured hydrophilic …

Objectives Bioactive surfaces were designed to increase the interaction between the surface
and the cells. This may speed up the biological stability and loading protocols. Materials and …

(1) Background: The aim of this study is to understand from a microscopic point of view
whether bicarbonate air-abrasive powders associated with ultrasonic instruments can …

The employ of sterilization processes are essential to investigate biomaterials aiming for
experimental, preclinical, or clinical applications with biological tissues. However …

In the field of implantology, the development of bioactive surfaces and biomaterials has
made it possible to enhance the early biological response [1–4]. In addition, Gianfreda et al …
