A dual molecular biointerface combining RGD and KRSR sequences improves osteoblastic functions by synergizing integrin and cell-membrane proteoglycan binding
(2019-03-21)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaSynergizing integrin and cell-membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan signaling on biomaterials through peptidic sequences is known to have beneficial effects in the attachment and behavior of osteoblasts; however, controlling ... -
Antibacterial properties of triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride silane (TESPSA) on titanium dental implants
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-04-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaInfections related to dental implants are a common complication that can ultimately lead to implant failure, and thereby carries significant health and economic costs. In order to ward off these infections, this paper ... -
Control of stem cell response and bone growth on biomaterials by fully non-peptidic integrin selective ligands
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-04-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Technische Universität München / Universitat Internacional de Catalunya / Tan'guk Taehakkyo / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaIn this communication we report that anchoring avß3 or a5ß1 integrin-selective RGD peptidomimetics to titanium efficiently tunes mesenchymal stem cell response in vitro and bone growth in rat calvarial defects. Our results ... -
Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-11-24)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de Catalunya / Hospital General Universitario Santa LucíaAlthough ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about the failure of these ... -
Fracture and fatigue of titanium narrow dental implants: New trends in order to improve the mechanical response
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-11-12)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universidad de Sevilla / Universitat de València / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaSixty-four fractured commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) narrow dental implants (NDIs) with similar macrogeometry and connection designs were studied after different implantation times in humans in order to determine their ... -
Influence of the elastic modulus on the osseointegration of dental implants
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-01-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universidad de Oviedo / Universidad de Sevilla / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaThe load transfer from metallic prosthesis to tissue plays an important role in the success of a designed device. From a mechanical behavior point of view, the load transfer will be favored when the elastic modulus between ... -
Mechanical properties of CoCr dental-prosthesis restorations made by three manufacturing processes. Influence of the microstructure and topography
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-06-14)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Barcelona Dental Institute / Universidad de Oviedo / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaThe aim of this study is to compare the mechanical properties of three different dental restorations’ manufacturing processes (CADCAM milling, casting and laser sintering) generated by only one laboratory scanner focusing ... -
Polyethylene glycol pulsed electrodeposition for the development of antifouling coatings on titanium
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-05-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaTitanium dental implants are widely used for the replacement of damaged teeth. However, bacterial infections at the interface between soft tissues and the implant can impair the functionality of the device and lead to ... -
Re-irradiation of silver nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation in water and assessment of their antibacterial effect
(2019-04-15)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universidade de Vigo / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaThe rapid evolution of resistant bacteria is a huge problem in medicine because makes the treatment of infections more and more difficult. The bactericidal properties of noble metal nanoparticles could be a solution. In ... -
Synthesis and deposition of silver nanoparticles on cp Ti by laser ablation in open air for antibacterial effect in dental implants
(2018-11-15)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universidade de Vigo / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaSilver nanoparticles have been synthetized and deposited on cp Ti substrates in one-step process by the use of laser ablation in open air. The nanoparticles are produced by ablating Ag foil using two different lasers and ...
