Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease affecting tissues surrounding dental implants. Although it represents a common complication of implant treatments, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully described. The aim this study to identify role titanium nanoparticles released form implants on chronic inflammation and bone lysis in tissue. We analyzed vitro effect (Ti) particle exposure mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) fibroblasts (FU), evaluating cell proliferation by MTT test...
Abstract Objective This study aimed at investigating implant survival rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) around extra-short implants. The impact of the loading protocol use an intermediate abutment was also evaluated, to explore possible differences in terms outcome measures. Materials methods Patients with single or multiple mandibular maxillary posterior edentulism rehabilitated using 5–6 mm long implants were included. Different prosthetic protocols used. Clinical radiological follow-up 5...
Anxiety is a relevant problem in dental practice. The Visual Analogue Scale for (VAS‐A), introduced dentistry 1988, has not yet been validated large series. aim of this study to check VAS‐A effectiveness more than 1000 patients submitted implantology. and the Dental (DAS) were administered preoperatively 1114 (459 males 655 females, age 54.7 ± 13.1 years). Statistical analysis was conducted with Pearson correlation coefficient, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, McNemar tests. A...
Silver (Ag) ions have well‐known antimicrobial properties and been applied as nanostrategies in many medical surgical fields, including dentistry. The use of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) may be an option for reducing bacterial adhesion to dental implant surfaces preventing biofilm formation, containing the risk peri‐implant infections. Modifying structure or surface bone grafts membranes with Ag NPs also prevent contamination infection that are common when alveolar augmentation techniques...
Improving soft tissue attachment and reducing bacterial colonization on titanium abutments are key factors for the long-term maintenance of healthy hard peri-implant tissues. This in vitro study was conducted to compare biocompatibility antibacterial activity four different surfaces: uncoated Ti6Al4V, anodized, coated with nitride or zirconium nitride. Surface topography investigated a high-resolution system measuring surface finishes. Human gingival fibroblast (HGF) adhesion proliferation...
The aim of the present work is to study how biological properties, such as proliferation and commitment ability, human adult dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) relate age donor. Human pulps were extracted from molars healthy subjects aged 16 >66 years. DPSCs isolated cultured in presence osteogenic, neurogenic, or vasculogenic differentiation medium. Proliferation ability was evaluated by determining doubling time, gene expression morphological analyses for tissue-specific markers. results...
Dental pulp tissue supports the vitality of tooth, but it is particularly vulnerable to external insults, such as mechanical trauma, chemical irritation or microbial invasion, which can lead necrosis. In present work, we an endodontic regeneration method based on use a tridimensional (3D) hyaluronan scaffold and human dental stem cells (DPSCs) produce functional pulp-like in vitro. An enriched population DPSCs was seeded onto hyaluronan-based non-woven meshes presence differentiation factors...
In the field of tissue engineering, adult stem cells are increasingly recognized as an important tool for in vitro reconstructed tissue-engineered grafts. world cell therapies, undoubtedly, mesenchymal from bone marrow or adipose most promising progenitors engineering applications. this setting, adipose-derived (ASCs) generally similar to those derived and conveniently extracted removed by elective cosmetic liposuction procedures; they also show a great potential endothelization. The aim...
The goal of modern dentistry and plastic surgery is to restore the patient normal function, health aesthetics, regardless disease or injury stomatognathic cutaneous system respectively. In recent years tissue engineering regenerative medicine have yielded many novel replacements implementation strategies. Scientific advances in biomaterials, stem cell isolation, growth differentiation factors biomimetic environments created unique opportunities fabricate tissues laboratory. Repairing bone...
Abstract Objectives The current COVID‐19 outbreak in conjunction with the need to provide safe dental treatments and limited knowledge on efficacy of protective measures has posed dentists into a challenging situation. Therefore, present article aimed at collecting experiences recommendations frontline clinical experts critical aspects treatment provision during pandemic. Material & Methods From total 32 European countries, one leading academic expert Oral Maxillofacial Surgery or per...
Craniofacial tissue reconstruction still represents a challenge in regenerative medicine. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based engineering strategies have been introduced to enhance bone repair. However, the risk of related complications is limiting their usage. To overcome these drawbacks, exosomes (EXOs) derived from MSCs recently proposed as cell-free alternative direct regeneration. It was hypothesized that there correlation between biological properties dental pulp and age donor. The aim...
Introduction: This pilot study explores the impact of rapid palatal expansion on facial soft tissues and dental arches, utilizing stereophotogrammetry intraoral scanner in a cleft population. Materials Methods: Forty-five patients with unilateral lip-palate (27), bilateral (9), palate (9) were included underwent expansion. Stereophotogrammetric scans conducted using (VECTRA M3) (CEREC Primescan) at T0 (expander application) T1 (end activations). Superimpositions variations surface volume...
