Correia, Bruna L.; Malekshiri, Moslem; Bartolomeu, Maria; Silva, Virgília; Oliveira, Ana; Noites, Rita; Cardoso, Miguel; Mendes, KarinaTooth decay is one of the greatest causes of tooth loss in the world. This not only afects the patient’s quality of life but also carries an economic burden associated with the need for multiple reinterventions. Endodontic treatment aims to preserve teeth by cleaning, disinfecting and flling/sealing the root canal. Despite the high success rate of endodontic treatment, failures do occur in a large number of cas...
Integrated biomimetic carbon nanotube composites for in vivo systems
Singh, Manoj; Gracio, José; LeDuc, Philip; Gonçalves, Paula; Marques, Paula; Gonçalves, Gil; Marques, Filipa; Silva, Virgília; Capela Silva, FernandoAs interest in using carbon nanotubes for developing biologically compatible systems continues to grow, biological inspiration is stimulating new directions for in vivo approaches. The ability to integrate nanotechnology-based systems in the body will provide greater successes if the implanted material is made to mimic elements of the biological milieu especially through tuning physical and chemical characteris...
