Antibiotic resistance is a global human health threat, causing routine treatments of bacterial
infections to become increasingly difficult. The problem is exacerbated by biofilm formation …

Implanted biomaterials play a key role in the current success of orthopedic and dental
procedures. Pure titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for …

Background All soft and solid surface structures in the oral cavity are covered by the
acquired pellicle followed by bacterial colonization. This applies for natural structures as …

Microbes have remarkable capabilities to attach to the surface of implanted medical devices
and form biofilms that adversely impact device function and increase the risk of multidrug …

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 …

Substratum surface roughness is known to be one of the key factors in determining the
extent of bacterial colonization. Understanding the way by which the substratum topography …

Objectve We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of nano-silver-
coated polyetheretherketone (PEEK) produced through magnetron sputtering and provide a …

Bacterial adhesion on dental implants may cause peri-implant disease including peri-
implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis may lead to bone resorption and …

Inclusion of fungi as commensals in oral biofilm is an important innovation in oral biology,
and this work aimed to review the literature on the available biofilm and related disease in …

Implant‐related infections are a serious complication in prosthetic surgery, substantially
jeopardizing implant fixation. As porous coatings for improved osseointegration typically …
