Titanium and alloy osseointegrated implants are used to replace missing teeth; however,
some fail and are removed. Modifications of the implant surface with biologically active …

A dual approach employing peptidic biofunctionalization and laser micro-patterns on dental
zirconia was explored, with the aim of providing a flexible tool to improve tissue integration …

Recreating the healing microenvironment is essential to regulate cell–material interactions
and ensure the integration of biomaterials. To repair bone, such bioactivity can be achieved …

Matricellular proteins (MCPs) are defined as extracellular matrix (ECM) associated proteins
that are important regulators and integrators of microenvironmental signals, contributing to …

Functionalization of dental and orthopedic implants with multiple bioactivities is desirable to
obtain surfaces with improved biological performance and reduced infection rates. While …

Despite the fact that classic autograft is the gold standard material for periodontal plastic
surgery, it has some drawbacks, including the need for a second surgical site and the …

Percutaneous devices like orthopedic prosthetic implants for amputees, catheters, and
dental implants suffer from high infection rates. A critical aspect mediating peri-implant …

Caries is the most ubiquitous infectious disease of mankind, and early childhood caries
(ECC) is the most prevalent chronic disease in children worldwide, with the resulting …

Recently, a de novo synthetic calcium-responsive self-assembly β-sheet peptide ID8 (Ile-
Asp-Ile-Asp-Ile-Asp-Ile-Asp) has been developed to serve as the template inducing …

Simple Summary The low bioactivity of titanium limits its applications. The
biofunctionalization of its surfaces with certain polymers could improve and accelerate the …
