Due to the continuous rise in biofilm‐related infections, biofilms seriously threaten human
health. The formation of biofilms makes conventional antibiotics ineffective and dampens …

Oral biofilms attach onto both teeth surfaces and dental material surfaces in oral cavities. In
the meantime, oral biofilms are not only the pathogenesis of dental caries and periodontitis …

Implant devices have= proven a successful treatment modality in reconstructive surgeries.
However, increasing rates of peri-implant diseases demand further examination of their …

Biofilm-associated diseases are one of the main causes of implant failure. Currently, the
development of implant surface treatment goes beyond the osseointegration process and …

Polymicrobial infections are one of the most common reasons for inflammation of
surrounding tissues and failure of implanted biomaterials. Because microorganism adhesion …

Different crystalline phases in sputtered TiO 2 films were tailored to determine their surface
and electrochemical properties, protein adsorption and apatite layer formation on titanium …

Abstract Objective Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) incorporation in biomaterials is a promising
technology due to its photocatalytic and antibacterial activities. However, the antibacterial …

Materials and surfaces developed for dental implants need to withstand degradation
processes that take place in the oral cavity. Therefore, the aim of the study was to develop …

Objectives To compare biofilm formation on whole dental titanium implants with different
surface micro‐topography. Methods A multispecies in vitro biofilm model consisting of initial …

Photofunctionalization mediated by ultraviolet (UV) rays changes the physico-chemical
characteristics of titanium (Ti) and improves the biological activity of dental implants …
