Noncontact three-dimensional evaluation of surface alterations and wear in NiTi endodontic instruments

Abstract The aim of this study was to undertake a qualitative and quantitative assessment of nanoscale alterations and wear on the surfaces of nickel-titanium (NiTi) endodontic instruments, before and after use, through a high-resolution, noncontact, three-dimensional optical profiler, and to verify the ...

Evaluation of the force generated by gradual deflection of orthodontic wires in conventional metallic, esthetic, and self-ligating brackets

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the deflection forces of Nitinol orthodontic wires placed in different types of brackets: metallic, reinforced polycarbonate with metallic slots, sapphire, passive and active self-ligating, by assessing strength values variation according to ...

Effects of TiO2 NPs coating-titanium for fibroblast adhesion

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of coating nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) and irradiation -UV on plates of titanium (Ti) for the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). A total of 15 Ti plates were divided into three groups (n = 5); (i) contr...

Analysis of the frontal sinus morphology and the titanium plates shape in skull fracture for human identification

Human identification can be performed by several methods, as anatomical structures of the facial skeletal and individuals signals. The aim of this study was to report a case of human identification from the morphological evaluation of the frontal sinus and the presence of titanium plates in skull after e...

M/F changes after T-loop upper horizontal bending in segmented arch mechanics

bTi T-type loops are a frictionless, efficient alternative for extraction space closure. Changes in the upper horizontal portion of T-type loops to improve their mechanical behavior have been proposed, but differences in their biomechanical characteristics have not been well described. This stu dy analyz...

The impact of clinical use on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Torsional overload is a fracture representative parameter for instruments in single-file techniques. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the influence of clinical use, in vivo, on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments considering the possibility that they degrade...

Aging impairs osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells grown on titanium by favoring adipogenesis

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Aging negatively affects bone/titanium implant interactions. Our hypothesis is that the unbalance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis induced by aging may be involved in this phenomenon. Objective We investigated the osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) f...

Osseointegration aspects of placed implant in bone reconstruction with newly developed block-type interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapatite

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Artificial bone has been employed to reconstruct bone defects. However, only few reports on implant placement after block bone grafting exist. Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of dental implant in bone reconstructions with interconnected porous calcium ...

Superelasticity and force plateau of nickel-titanium springs: an in vitro study

abstract Objective: This paper analyzed whether nickel-titanium closed coil springs (NTCCS) have a different superelastic (SE) behavior according to activation and whether their force plateau corresponds to that informed by the manufacturer. Methods: A total of 160 springs were divided into 16 subgrou...
