Objective: Animal models offer an unprecedented opportunity to preclinically evaluate the efficacy and safety of newly developed human surgical therapies. In order to develop maxillofacial surgical research including tissue engineering…
Introduction: Stem cells based therapies are the most promising and powerful method to provide patients specific tissue substitutes for the regeneration or reconstruction of tissue and organs. Aim: Using bone…
Introduction: Titanium surface modifications can influence the osseointegration process, the final goal being accelerate bone formation around implants. Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the effect of Ti surface modification…
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of genes involved in bone remodeling process finding in dental pulp, and in particular the expression of, COL1A1, MMP9…
Introduction: In clinical practice different bone substitute biomaterials are used for maxillary sinus floor augmentation. Due to biocompatibility with living body and bioactivity hydroxyapatite (HAP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and biphasic…
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteorigenerative properties of AFSc associated with hydroxyapatite, and compare their behaviour with the use of biomaterial in sinus grafts on…
Introduction: Nowadays different manufacturers of bone graft materials are known. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (HAP/TCP) biphasic bone graft materials are the most promoting due to particular biodegradation. Literature data of…
Purpose: Mechanical stress is known to be important for regulation of bone turnover, though the detailed mechanisms are not fully understood. In the present study, we examined the effect of…
Objective: The goal in this study is to investigate the safety of a photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) protocol, which we have found to be efficient against Porphyromonas gingivalis in a…
Introduction: It has been suggested that nitric oxide (NO) promotes angiogenesis and tumor progression and CXC Chemokine Recepter-4 (CXCR4) is involved in cell migration in cancer metastasis. Efficacy of single…
