Anatomically, the human tooth has structures both embedded within and forming part of the
exterior surface of the human body. When a tooth is lost, it is often replaced by a dental …

Stable soft tissue integration around the implant abutment attenuates pathogen penetration,
protects underlying bone tissue, prevents peri-implantitis and is essential in maintaining …

Dental implant therapy is a common clinical procedure for the restoration of missing teeth.
Many methods have been used to promote osseointegration for successful implant therapy …

Soft tissue adhesion and sealing around dental and maxillofacial implants, related prosthetic
components, and crowns are a clinical imperative to prevent adverse outcomes of …

The present study aimed to analyze the mechanism underlying the color alteration of dental
zirconia ceramics stabilized with 3 and 5 mol% yttria (3YZ and 5YZ, respectively) caused by …

Ultraviolet (UV) photofunctionalization counteracts the biological aging of titanium to
increase the bioactivity and osseointegration of titanium implants. However, UV …

The aim of this study is to systematically appraise the evidence on available full thickness
3D gingival and mucosal models (3D culture in scaffold base system) and their application …

Considering the biological activity of osteoblasts is crucial when devising new approaches
to enhance the osseointegration of implant surfaces, as their behavior profoundly influences …
