Biomedical scientists use chemistry-driven processes found in nature as an inspiration to
design biomaterials as promising diagnostic tools, therapeutic solutions, or tissue …

Osseointegration at the bone-implant interface and soft tissue integration (STI) at the trans-
mucosal region are crucial for the long-term success of dental implants, especially in …

Atomic force microscopy is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that
allows measurement of samples in liquid, vacuum or air) to imaging with unprecedented …

New strategies to overcome the defects of conventional antibacterial ways are imminently
required due to the rapid growth of bacterial resistance by the overuse and misuse of …

Titanium and its alloys are commonly used for dental implants because of their good
mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The surface properties of titanium implants are …

Two-tier micro-and nanoscale quasi-periodic self-organized structures, mimicking the
surface of a lotus Nelumbo nucifera leaf, were fabricated on titanium surfaces using …

We discuss the effect of extreme grain refinement in the bulk of commercial purity titanium
(CP, Grade-2) on bacterial attachment to the mechano-chemically polished surfaces of the …

Objectives Titanium surface roughness is recognized as an important parameter influencing
osseointegration. However, studies concerning the effect of well-defined surface …

Fluoride-modification of dental titanium (Ti) implants is used to improve peri-implant bone
growth and bone-to-implant contact and adhesion strength. In this study, the surface …

This article focuses on preclinical studies and reviews the available evidence from the
literature on dental implant and abutment materials in the last decade. Specifically, different …
