Background: Safety issues for dental restorative composites are critical to material selection, but, limited information is available to dental practitioners. This study aimed to compare the chemical and biological characteristics of three nanohybrid dental composites by assessing filler particle analysis, monomer degree of conversion (DC), the composition of eluates, and cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in fibroblasts.
Methods: Three nanohybrid composites (TN, Tetric N-Ceram; CX, Ceram X Sphere Tec One; and DN, DenFil NX) were used.
Objective: To analyze differences in the positional relationships between the mandibular third molar (MTM) and the mandibular canal in Korean and Han patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to provide a basis for preoperative risk assessments.
Materials And Methods: The CBCT imaging data of 260 Korean and Han patients were collected. The patients' genders, ages, impaction types and depths, relative positions between the MTMs and the mandibular nerve canals, and the shortest distances and shapes at the root tips and cortical bones were all recorded and analyzed.
The control of macrophage polarization is important in bone tissue regeneration such as osseointegration. In this study, a coating method was developed to improve the osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants by generating an immunomodulatory effect. The surface of the Ti discs was coated with a poly(lactide--glycolide)(PLGA) polymer, phosphatidylserine (PS), and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide conjugated phospholipid.
