Humberto Fernández-Morán (1924-1999) a pioneer in electron ultra-cryomicroscopy

Int. j. morphol; 39 (6), 2021
SUMMARY: Humberto Fernández-Morán (1924-1999) a Venezuelan physician and biophysicist research, who developed the diamond knife. Furthermore he focused on improving the mechanical performance, accuracy and reliability of mocrotomes and ultramicrotomes which significantly advanced the development of ele...

Effect of dlc films with and without silver nanoparticles deposited on titanium alloy

Braz. dent. j; 30 (6), 2019
Abstract Diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is a biocompatible hard coating material that can prevent the leaching of metal ions. This study evaluates the structural characteristics of DLC, with and without silver nanoparticles, deposited by plasma (PECVD) on titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and bone formation in ...

A Novel Porous Diamond - Titanium Biomaterial: Structure, Microstructure, Physico-Mechanical Properties and Biocompatibility

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT With the aim of introducing permanent prostheses with main properties equivalent to cortical human bone, Ti-diamond composites were processed through powder metallurgy. Grade 1 titanium and mixtures of Ti powder with 2%, 5% and 10 wt% diamond were compacted at 100MPa, and then sintered at 1250°...

The effect of standardised implantoplasty protocol on titanium surface roughness: an in-vitro study

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract: To analyse the changes of surface characteristics of machined and moderately roughened titanium disks following a standardised implantoplasty protocol. Forty titanium discs (machined: n = 20; moderately roughened: n = 20) were instrumented with one half of each disc maintained as the control (n...

Efficiency of different protocols for enamel clean-up after bracket debonding: an in vitro study

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficiency of six protocols for cleaning-up tooth enamel after bracket debonding.Methods:A total of 60 premolars were divided into six groups, according to the tools used for clean-up: 12-blade bur at low speed (G12L), 12-blade bur at high speed (G12H), 30-blade ...

Resistência de união e microinfiltração em restaurações de resina composta em função do instrumento de corte

Este estudo in vitro avaliou a resistência de união por microtração (RUM) à dentina e a microinfiltração em restaurações de resina composta após preparos cavitários com ponta diamantada ultrassônica e ponta diamantada em alta rotação. Para o teste de RUM, utilizaram-se seis terceiros molare...
