The effect of nanocoatings of SiO2, TiO2, and ZrO2 on titanium-porcelain bonding
(
Mosby Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Statement of problem: Durable titanium-porcelain bonding is challenging because of the formation of a thick oxide layer on the surface during porcelain firing. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate ...
Analytical model of I-bar clasps for removable partial dentures
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Objective: Clasps of removable partial dentures (RPDs) often suffer from fatigue stress that leads to plastic deformation, loss of retention, and RPD failure. Recently, computer-based technologies were proposed to optimize ...
Script concordance tests: A call for action in dental education
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
The Script Concordance Test (SCT) is an educational tool that aims to assess the ability to interpret medical information under conditions of uncertainty. It is widely used and validated in health education, but almost ...
Multiscale structural evolution of citrate-triggered intrafibrillar and interfibrillar mineralization in dense collagen gels
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
The mineralized extracellular matrix of bone is an organic?inorganic nanocomposite consisting primarily of carbonated hydroxyapatite, fibrous type I collagen, noncollagenous proteins, proteoglycans, and diverse biomolecules ...
Optimization of 3D network topology for bioinspired design of stiff and lightweight bone-like structures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A truly bioinspired approach to design optimization should follow the energetically favorable natural paradigm of ?minimum inventory with maximum diversity?. This study was inspired by constructive regression of trabecular ...
Ranitidine Impairs Bone Healing and Implant Osseointegration in Rats' Tibiae
(
W.B. Saunders
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: Ranitidine has been found to have an impact on bone metabolism by suppressing osteoclastogenesis. We hypothesized that the use of ranitidine would impair bone healing and implant osseointegration. This study ...
Titanium-Containing Silicate-Based Sol-Gel Bioactive Glass: Development, Characterization, and Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Bioactive glasses are surface-reactive glasses that, when placed in physiological fluid, undergo a transformation from glass to hydroxyapatite. Doping the bioactive glass with metallic ions can impart desirable and unique ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease resulting from infection by a novel coronavirus, SARS-Cov2, has rapidly spread since November 2019 leading to a global pandemic. SARS-Cov2 has infected over four million ...
Chiral Tartaric Acid Improves Fracture Toughness of Bioactive Brushite-Collagen Bone Cements
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Brushite cements are promising bone regeneration materials with limited biological and mechanical properties. Here, we engineer a mechanically improved brushite-collagen type I cement with enhanced biological properties ...
Chronotherapy of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs May Enhance Postoperative Recovery
(
Nature Research
