This review covers several basic methodologies of surface treatment and their effects on
titanium (Ti) implants. The importance of each treatment and its effects will be discussed in …

In biomaterials science, it is nowadays well accepted that improving the biointegration of
dental and orthopedic implants with surrounding tissues is a major goal. However, implant …

The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …

To diminish the learning curve associated with using swine as models, Swine in the
Laboratory: Surgery, Anesthesia, Imaging, and Experimental Techniques, Second Edition …

As life expectancy and the age of the general population increases so does the need for
improved implants. A major contributor to the failure of implants is poor osseointegration …

Two frequent problems are associated with the titanium surfaces of bone/dental implants:
lack of native tissue integration and associated infection. These problems have prompted a …

Specific cell adhesion and osteogenicity are both crucial factors for the long-term success of
titanium implants. In this work, two mussel-derived bioactive peptides were designed to one …

Until the discovery of the bone-bonding activity of Bioglass by Hench et al. in the early
1970s, it had not been demonstrated that a synthetic material could bond to living bone …

Implant-related infection of biomaterials is one of the main causes of arthroplasty and
osteosynthesis failure. Bacteria, such as the rapidly-emerging Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) …

Animal studies and the scarce clinical trials available that have been conducted suggest that
bioactive surfaces on dental implants could improve the osseointegration of such implants …
