Stability of beta-titanium T-loop springs preactivated by gradual curvature

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate changes in the force system of T-Loop Springs (TLS) preactivated by curvature, due to stress relaxation. Methods: Ninety TLSs measuring 6 x 10 mm, produced out with 0.017 x 0.025-in TMA® wire and preactived by gradual curvature, were randomly distributed into nine groups ...

Pro-inflammatory Analysis of Macrophages in Contact with Titanium Particles and Porphyromonas gingivalis

Braz. dent. j; 28 (4), 2017
Abstract During insertion of titanium dental implants, particles may shear from the implant to the periimplant region causing osteolysis, and their association with bacteria can exacerbate the inflammatory reaction. However, the association of a high invasive bacterium from the oral cavity, Porphyromonas...

Displacers improve the selectivity of phosphopeptide enrichment by metal oxide affinity chromatography

Abstract: Background: A key process in cell regulation is protein phosphorylation, which is catalyzed by protein kinases and phosphatases. However, phosphoproteomics studies are difficult because of the complexity of protein phosphorylation and the number of phosphorylation sites. Methods: We describ...

Investigation on the biological effect of fluorine present on the surface of titanium implants: analysis of the reaction fluoride-titanium oxide

Actual. osteol; 13 (1), 2017
The aim of this work was to investigate the state of fluoride at the surface of fluoridemodified titanium implants, and to provide information to support or discard the hypothesis that fluoride ion participates in the osseointegration of implants. Titanium is coated with a 2-10 nm thick layer of stable a...

Osseointegration of titanium implants anodized with and without fluoride in the electrolyte: a study in rats

Actual. osteol; 13 (1), 2017
Based on the hypothesis that fluoride acts as a bone anabolic agent, the aim of this study was to measure in rats the osseointegration of implants (grade II titanium wire, 1 mm diameter, 4 mm long) submitted to anodic oxidation in 2 M phosphoric acid solution (control implants) or b) in 2 M phosphoric ac...

Atividade antibacteriana de tubos endotraqueais revestidos com dióxido de titânio padrão e dopados com nitrogênio: um estudo in vitro

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a atividade antibacteriana contra Staphylococcus aureus e Pseudomonas aeruginosa de dois revestimentos endotraqueais com nanopartículas e fotocatálise sob luz visível. Métodos: Testaram-se dois tipos de nanopartículas de titânio: anatase padrão (TiO2) e TiO2 nano-dopada ...

Influence of NiTi alloy on the root canal shaping capabilities of the ProTaper Universal and ProTaper Gold rotary instrument systems

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (1), 2017
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the NiTi wire in Conventional NiTi (ProTaper Universal PTU) and Controlled Memory NiTi (ProTaper Gold PTG) instrument systems on the quality of root canal preparation. Material and Methods Twelve mandibular molars with separate mesial c...

Assessment of rotary and reciprocating movements in root canal filling material removal

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of preparation, filling removal material, reinstrumentation and reobturation of root canals with different Ni-Ti alloys in endodontic retreatment. Firstly, the selection and pairing of mesial root canals of mandibular molars (n = 45) were performed by com...

Alterações morfológicas e químicas do esmalte humano após o clareamento dental: avaliação in situ

Introdução: A alteração de cor dos dentes apresenta-se como um dos fatores que mais concorrem para o desequilíbrio do sorriso, sendo o clareamento dental amplamente difundido e solicitado pelos pacientes. Objetivo: Este estudo in situ teve como objetivo avaliar as mudanças morfológicas e químicas...

Avaliação do efeito de modificações topográficas e químico-estruturais de superfícies de titânio no potencial osteogênico de células tronco mesenquimais e pré-osteoblásticas

Os efeitos de modificações topográficas e químico-estruturais em superfícies de implantes e sua relação com o comportamento celular na interface com o biomaterial, não foram totalmente elucidados. Avaliou-se o efeito de modificações na topografia, composição química e estrutura cristalina de...
