Self-Assembled Monolayers for Dental Implants
Freitas, S; Correa-Uribe, A; Martins, MCL; Pelaez-Vargas, AImplant-based therapy is a mature approach to recover the health conditions of patients affected by edentulism. Thousands of dental implants are placed each year since their introduction in the 80s. However, implantology faces challenges that require more research strategies such as new support therapies for a world population with a continuous increase of life expectancy, to control periodontal status and new ...
Soft Lithography and Minimally Human Invasive Technique for Rapid Screening of ...
Alvarez-Escobar, M; Freitas, S; Hansford, D; Monteiro, FJ; Pelaez-Vargas, AIntroduction. Microfabrication offers opportunities to study surface concepts focused to reduce bacterial adhesion on implants using human minimally invasive rapid screening (hMIRS). Wide information is available about cell/biomaterial interactions using eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells on surfaces of dental materials with different topographies, but studies using human being are still limited. Objective. To ev...
