Minimising marginal bone loss around dental implants is of paramount importance. The success methods such as platform switching (PS) and laser-micro-texturing (LM) are well documented. Whether or not a combination these designs will further improve outcomes has been studied previously. Hence, this prospective, randomized controlled single-centre pilot study compared the clinical microbiological...

Metamaterials are engineered materials conceived and designed to achieve very special or even unique physical properties, which depend on the micro nanostructures, more than chemical composition of raw employed for their fabrication. Normally metamaterials made periodic repetitions unit cells Boolean combinations lattices porous building blocks. Metasurfaces quasi-two-dimensional version genera...

Adverse effects of wound healing, such as excessive scar tissue formation, wound contraction, or nonhealing wounds represent a major clinical issue in today's healthcare. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta3 has specifically been implicated in wound healing. Our hypothesis was that local administration of TGF-beta3 to excisional dermal wounds would diminish wound contraction and scar formatio...

The proper function of many tissues depends critically on the structural organization of the cells and matrix of which they are comprised. Therefore, in order to engineer functional tissue equivalents that closely mimic the unique properties of native tissues it is necessary to develop strategies for reproducing the complex, highly organized structure of these tissues. To this end, we sought to...
