Can Oral Bacteria and Mechanical Fatigue Degrade Zirconia Dental Implants in Vitro?
(American Chemical Society, 2019-05-15)Zirconia (ZrO₂) is an emerging alternative to titanium for dental implant systems due to its material properties including high mechanical strength and chemical stability. However, oral environmental factors such as bacterial ... -
HGMB1 and RAGE as Essential Components of Ti Osseointegration Process in Mice
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-04-05)The release of the prototypic DAMP High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) into extracellular environment and its binding to the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) has been described to trigger sterile inflammation ... -
Multifaceted Roles of Environmental Factors toward Dental Implant Performance: Observations from Clinical Retrievals and In Vitro Testing
Objective: Oral bacteria and periodontal pathogen have been predominantly linked with early- and late- stage failures of titanium (Ti) dental implants (DI) respectively. This study is based on the hypothesis that bacterial ... -
Effects of Titanium Oxide Surface Properties on Bone-Forming and Soft Tissue-Forming Cells
Background: Previous studies have concluded that certain titanium oxide (TiO₂) surface properties promote bone-forming cell attachment. However, no comprehensive studies have investigated the effects of TiO₂ surface and ... -
Novel Chlorhexidine-Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles for Root Canal Treatment
Persistence of microorganisms in dentinal tubules after root canal chemo-mechanical preparation has been well documented. The complex anatomy of the root canal and dentinal buffering ability make delivery of antimicrobial ... -
Evaluation of Mammalian and Bacterial Cell Activity on Titanium Surface Coated with Dicationic Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2016-04-04)This work presents a new strategy to protect titanium surfaces against bacterial colonization and biofilm formation using dicationic imidazolium-based ionic liquid coatings. Ionic liquids (ILs) were designed as multi-functional ... -
Use of Dicationic Ionic Liquids as a Novel Liquid Platform for Dielectrophoretic Cell Manipulation
Separation, characterization and analysis of target cells demonstrate critical cues for diagnosis and monitoring of chronic diseases. Electrokinetic cell separation methods have been previously established to have greater ... -
Corrosion Behavior of Zirconia in Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride
Objective: The corrosion behavior of zirconia in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) representing acidic environments and fluoride treatments was studied. Material and Methods: Zirconia rods were immersed in 1.23% and ... -
Dicationic Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids: A New Strategy for Non-Toxic and Antimicrobial Materials
New dicationic imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized, characterized and tested in regards to cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity. Insertion of a new cationic head and use of organic anions increased ... -
Surface Characterization of Retrieved Metal-On-Metal Total Hip Implants from Patients with Adverse Reaction to Metal Debris
The use of metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip implants has decreased recently due to reports of high failure rates and adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR). It has been hypothesized that wear metal debris released from CoCr ...
