Abstract Background Osseointegration is crucial for the long-term success of
dental implants and depends on the tissue reaction at the tissue-implant
interface. Mechanical properties and biocompatibility make zirconia a suitable
material for dental implants, although surface processings are still
problematic. The aim of the present study was to compare osteoblast behavior on
structured zirconia an... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background The successful use of zirconia ceramics in orthopedic
surgery led to a demand for dental zirconium-based implant systems. Because of
its excellent biomechanical characteristics, biocompatibility, and bright
tooth-like color, zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO2) has the potential to become
a substitute for titanium as dental implant material. The present study aimed at
investigati... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Introduction The purpose of this long-term clinical study was to
examine the additional efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to scaling and
root planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontal disease. Methods A total
of 22 patients (mean age: 59.3 ± 11.7 years) with chronic periodontal disease
and four teeth with probing depth ≥ 5 mm were enrolled in the study. Inclusion

Abstract Background Relations between maxillo-mandibular deformities and TMJ
disorders have been the object of different studies in medical literature and
there are various opinions concerning the alteration of TMJ dysfunction after
orthognathic surgery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate TMJ
disorders changes before and after orthognathic surgery, and to assess the risk
of creating ... hiện toàn bộ
