Extensive Investigation on the Effect of Niobium Insertion on the Physical and ...
Hammami, Imen; Gavinho, Sílvia Rodrigues; Pádua, Ana Sofia; Lança, Maria do Carmo; Borges, João Paulo; Silva, Jorge Carvalho; Sá-Nogueira, IsabelDental implants have emerged as one of the most consistent and predictable treatments in the oral surgery field. However, the placement of the implant is sometimes associated with bacterial infection leading to its loss. In this work, we intend to solve this problem through the development of a biomaterial for implant coatings based on 45S5 Bioglass® modified with different amounts of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5)....
Antibacterial Biomaterial Based on Bioglass Modified with Copper for Implants C...
Hammami, Imen; Gavinho, Sílvia Rodrigues; Jakka, Suresh Kumar; Valente, Manuel Almeida; Graça, Manuel Pedro Fernandes; Pádua, Ana SofiaBiofilm-related implant infections pose a substantial threat to patients, leading to inflammation in the surrounding tissue, and often resulting in implant loss and the necessity for additional surgeries. Overcoming this implantology challenge is crucial to ensure the success and durability of implants. This study shows the development of antibacterial materials for implant coatings by incorporating copper into...
Therapeutic role of deep eutectic solvents based on menthol and saturated fatty...
Silva, Joana M.; Pereira, Carolina Jesus Vieira; Mano, Francisca; Silva, Eduardo; Castro, Vânia Isabel Baptista; Sá-Nogueira, Isabel; Reis, R. L.The breakthroughs achieved in green solvents promote the emergence of therapeutic deep eutectic solvents (THEDES), which possess intriguing possible applications in the biomedical field. Herein, the main aim was to unravel the biomedical potential of hydrophobic THEDES based in menthol and saturated fatty acids with different chain lengths (e.g., stearic acid (SA), myristic acid (MA), and lauric acid (LA)). Our...
