Implant surface characteristics, as well as physical and mechanical properties, are
responsible for the positive interaction between the dental implant, the bone and the …

Joint replacement is a major orthopaedic procedure used to treat joint osteoarthritis. Aseptic
loosening and infection are the two most significant causes of prosthetic implant failure. The …

Many surgical procedures require the placement of an inert or tissue-derived implant deep
within the body cavity. While the majority of these implants do not become colonized by …

Introduction After insertion into the bone, implants osseointegrate, which is required for their
long-term success. However, inflammation and infection around the implants may lead to …

The use of biomaterials in orthopaedics for joint replacement, fracture healing and bone
regeneration is a rapidly expanding field. Infection of these biomaterials is a major …

Peri-implantitis is an infectious disease that leads to progressive bone loss. Surgical therapy
has been advocated as a way of halting its progression and re-establishing peri-implant …

Etiological treatment of peri-implantitis aims to reduce the bacterial load within the peri-
implant pocket and decontaminate the implant surface in order to promote osseointegration …

Objective: To systematically collect and evaluate existing evidence on the effects of different
mechanical instruments on the surface characteristics of smooth and rough titanium …

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess clinical and microbiologic effects of the
non‐surgical treatment of peri‐implantitis lesions using either an erbium‐doped: yttrium …

Objectives To assess the cleaning potential of three different instrumentation methods
commonly used for implant surface decontamination in vitro, using a bone defect‐simulating …
