Article Synopsis
- Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) inhibit bacterial growth with less risk of resistance and toxicity compared to traditional silver compounds.
- Various methods to produce AgNPs exist, but many are costly and use harsh chemicals; an eco-friendly alternative uses plant extracts for synthesis.
- This study tested AgNPs synthesized with different concentrations of leaf extract for size variation and evaluated their antibacterial effectiveness, finding minimal differences in efficacy despite size changes.
Observations on an in-vivo failure of a titanium dental implant/abutment screw system: a case report.
J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater
April 2009
Titanium and its alloys are widely used in prosthetic dentistry, due to their biocompatibility, excellent mechanical and anti-corrosion behavior. However, delayed fracture of dental prosthetics is frequently encountered. Mechanisms leading to fracture are not generic but are strongly related to the particular environmental (quality of biological fluids) and mechanical loading conditions (mastication habits, presence of prosthetic metallic/ceramic components) in the patients' oral cavity.
