The removal of biofilms from microstructured titanium used for dental implants is a still unresolved challenge. This experimental study investigated disinfection and removal of in situ formed biofilms from microstructured titanium using cold atmospheric plasma in combination with air/water spray. Titanium discs (roughness (Ra): 1.96 µm) were exposed to human oral cavities for 24 and 72 hours (n...

Titanium and titanium alloys have been used for dental implants, due to their excellent biocompatibility suitable mechanical properties. The frequency in use of applications has gradually increased. For example, 2020, a Japanese insurance approved the pure posterior molars as metallic cast crown. also frameworks removable partial denture. Allergic reactions are rare but do occur. One theory une...

A major consideration in designing dental implants is the creation of a surface that provides strong attachment between the implant and bone, connective tissue, or epithelium. In addition, it is important to inhibit the adherence of oral bacteria on titanium surfaces exposed to the oral cavity to maintain plaque-free implants. Previous in vitro studies have shown that titanium implant surfaces ...

Since dental implants are used in contact with many different tissues, it is necessary to have optimum surface compatibility with the host bone tissues and soft tissues. Furthermore, dental implant surfaces exposed to the oral cavity must remain plaque-free. Such materials can be created under well-controlled conditions by modifying the surfaces of metals that contact those tissues. “Tissue-com...

Ceramic materials are widely used for biomedical applications because of their remarkable biological and mechanical properties. Composites made of alumina and zirconia are particularly interesting owing to their higher toughness with respect to the monolithic materials. On this basis, the present study is focused on the in vivo behavior of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) dental implants treate...

PURPOSE The surface properties of dental implants have been considered directly related to the success of the osseointegrated interface. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants promote a bioactive surface because they facilitate cellular migration and bone growth, resulting in a faster osseointegration. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study analyzed and compared 2 different implant surfaces: a group c...

Objectives. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare crestal bone loss of single-maxillary immediate postextractive implants and immediate nonfunctional loading (INFL) during 72 months of follow-up. Material and Methods. Two single titanium implants (Certain Prevail, Biomet 3I, USA) were placed in two patients using INFL technique. Implant stability and crestal bone level were measured ...

INTRODUCTION One of the most frequently used method for scanning patients with indication for dental implantation in dentistry is cone beam computed tomography. Implantation, CBCT imaging and implant programme are inevitable when planning a successful replacement of lost teeth. CBCT offers exact information about available bone and its density, adjacent tooth roots, the place of mandibular cana...
