The use of total hip and knee arthroplasty is steadily increasing (3). It has been estimated
that world-wide 2.5 million patients are living with an artificial hip joint (120) and that …

There are two ways of looking at secondary failures of osseointegration; one is to reflect on
possible causes for the failure, the other focuses on the pathology per se. In the first case …

Bone-anchored titanium implants have revolutionized oral healthcare. Surface properties of
oral titanium implants play decisive roles for molecular interactions, cellular response and …

The clinical success of endosseous implants is associated with the formation and
maintenance of bone at implant surfaces. Histologic analyses have indicated that bone …

7 clinically stable,“osseointegrated”, titanium implants, inserted in human jaws for l–16
years, were retrieved for morphological analysis of the bone‐titanium interface, using 3 …

Objective To evaluate in vitro the changes in implant surface topography and roughness of
commercial implants after instrumentation with five decontamination protocols. Material and …

Background and Purpose Clinical and experimental studies show, with few exceptions, that
type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with a delay in bone repair around endosseous …

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid surgery without skin
thinning, a test group with direct implantation without such thinning was compared with a …

Excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of TiZrNb
equiatomic ratio medium-entropy alloy were obtained through recrystallization and spinodal …

Background: Despite good success rates of osseointegrated oral implants, failures do occur.
To minimize losses, failure mechanisms should be elucidated. Purpose: This study sought to …
