Background: For long-term success of dental implants, it is essential to maintain the health of the surrounding soft tissue barrier, which protects the bone-implant interface from the microorganisms. Although implants based on titanium and its alloys still dominate the dental implant market, alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) implant systems are widely used in the area. However, they provide smooth and bioinert surfaces in the transmucosal region, which poorly integrate with the surrounding tissues.

ANALYSIS OF STRESS-DISTRIBUTION IN A VERTICALLY CONDENSED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR ROOT-CANAL
YAMAN, SD; ALACAM, T; Yaman, Yavuz (Elsevier BV, 1995-06-01)
In this study, the stress distribution in a maxillary central incisor subjected to an endodontic treatment was determined by using a three-dimensional finite-element method, The tooth had a variable root canal cross-sectional area, and the canal was assumed to be filled with vertical condensation. The Clinical practice was simulated by considering the obturation in successive stages, The main aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of fracture due to the obturation process, It was found that, wi...
Effects of alendronate on rate of distraction in rabbit mandibles
TEKİN, UMUT; Tuz, Hakan H.; Onder, Ercument; Ozkaynak, Ozkan; KORKUSUZ, PETEK (Elsevier BV, 2008-10-01)
Purpose: Bisphosphonates are used for inhibiting bone resorption in several diseases. In this experimental study, the effects of alendronate on the mandibular distraction gap in rabbits at 2 different rates were evaluated.
Investigation of thin semiconductor coatings and their antimicrobial properties
Erkan, Arcan; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
Regular disinfection of surfaces is required in order to reduce the number of microorganisms, unable to transmit infections and maintaining the surfaces sterilized. For this purpose, antimicrobial thin film coatings on the various surfaces such as glass and ceramic surfaces, capable of killing harmful microorganisms are being investigated. Generally a semiconducting material which can be activated by UV light tends to exhibit a strong antimicrobial activity. With holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (OH*) gener...
RECONSTRUCTION OF A FULL-THICKNESS COLLAGEN-BASED HUMAN ORAL MUCOSAL EQUIVALENT
Kinikoglu, B.; Auxenfans, C.; Pierrillas, P.; Burillon, C.; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Damour, O. (2009-07-01)
Tissue engineered human oral mucosa has the potential to be applied to the closure of surgical wounds after tissue deficits due to facial trauma, malignant lesion surgery or preposthetic procedure. It can also be used to elucidate the biology and pathology of oral mucosa and as a model alternative to animals for safety testing of oral care products. Using the technology previously developed in our laboratory for the production of a skin equivalent, we were able to reconstruct a nonkeratinized full-thickness...
EVALUATION OF THE CHITOSAN-COATING EFFECTIVENESS ON A DENTAL TITANIUM ALLOY IN TERMS OF MICROBIAL AND FIBROBLASTIC ATTACHMENT AND THE EFFECT OF AGING

The aim of this study was to obtain a biocompatible and antimicrobial implant surface by coating Ti6Al4V with chitosan which can be used to create a smooth transmucosal region for a faster and better wound healing and an increased bioactivity. Ti6Al4V plates were first abraded and ultrasonically cleaned and then coated with chitosan. In order to simulate the conditions of an oral environment, a group of coated plates were treated in a thermocycle apparatus. The coatings were evaluated with SEM, EDS, XRD and...
