No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Objective: To assess the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF)–coated titanium (Ti) discs on the adhesion and metabolism of keratinocytes and gingival fibroblasts exposed to nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates. Materials and methods: Keratinocytes and fibroblasts were seeded (1 × 105 cells/disc) on T...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; This study evaluated the influence of photobiomodulation (PBM) using low-level laser therapy (PBM/LLLT) or light-emitting diode (PBM/LED) therapy on peri-implant tissue healing. A laboratory model was used to assess the adhesion and metabolism of osteoblasts (SaOs-2), human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), a...
