Unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite as an oral implant abutment material: Experimental studies of E-glass fiber/BisGMA-TEGDMA polymer in vitro
(Annales Universitatis Turkuensis D 1097Turun yliopisto, 2013-12-13)
Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are a new group of non-metallic biomaterials showing a growing popularity in many dental and medical applications. As an oral implant material, FRC is biocompatible in bone tissue ...
Development of porous glass-fiber reinforced composite for bone implants. Evaluation of antimicrobial effect and implant fixation
(Annales Universitatis Turkuensis D 1087Turun yliopisto, 2013-10-25)
Cranial bone reconstructions are necessary for correcting large skull bone defects due to trauma, tumors, infections and craniotomies. Traditional synthetic implant materials include solid or mesh titanium, various plastics ...
Hydrothermally induced nanostructured TiO2 coatings - with special reference to biologic events of peri-implant tissue integration
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-03-26)
Soft tissue integration between the oral implant and the surrounding tissue is considered crucial for implant success. Various surface modifications have been used to obtain bioactive TiO2 coatings on the implant surface ...
Support of oral self-care, especially among patients with periodontitis - The role of dental hygienists and dental nurses
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-04-24)
This study explores how to support the oral health and oral self-care of patients, especially patients with periodontitis. First, the current patient education practices of dental hygienists are described: their skills and ...
Repair of segmental bone defects with fiber-reinforced composite: a study of material development and an animal model on rabbits
(Annales Universitatis Turkuensis D 1046Turun yliopisto, 2012-12-05)
The Repair of segmental defects in load-bearing long bones is a challenging task because of the diversity of
the load affecting the area; axial, bending, shearing and torsional forces all come together to test the ...
Oral health care of older people in domiciliary care – perspectives of the domiciliary care clients and personnel
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-01-27)
The aim was to study the perceived oral health, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and oral health behaviours of older people with or without domiciliary care in Finland. Another aim was to examine domiciliary ...
Physicochemical properties and characterization of bioceramics and bioactive glasses for bone repair
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-12-08)
Different materials i.e. natural bone and synthetic biomaterials have been widely used to improve bone repair and regeneration. Even though there is a long tradition in studying and developing various biomaterials, more ...
Gingival cell attachment and cell adhesion complex formation on TiO2 coated zirconia and titanium
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-12-15)
Weak gingival attachment to implant surface exposes to easier bacterial invasion to peri-implant tissues, which increases the risk for peri-implant infections. In the worst case, peri-implantitis can lead to the loss of ...
What does tooth enamel tell us of lived lives?: A study of the neonatal line and other accentuated lines in human deciduous enamel
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-08-18)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the varying width and structure of the neonatal line (NNL) and the occurrence of other accentuated lines (ALs) and their association with known early life events. The NNL was ...
Artifacts due to dental and maxillofacial restoration materials in cone beam computed tomography images
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-12-01)
Over the last 20 years, three-dimensional X-ray imaging, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), has become an important method when making the diagnoses in the dental and maxillofacial area. There has been rapid development ...
