Radiographic and histologic assessment of osseointegration for surface-treated titanium dental implants: An experimental study in dogs.

Background: Modifying the dental implant's surface texture enhances its biological response to the bone and implant‒tissue interface, resulting in the successful support of forces. This study assessed the impact of sandblasting, sandblasting plus acid etching, Er,Cr:YSGG laser, and propolis implant surface treatments and occlusal load on the osseointegration of titanium dental implants in dogs.

Methods: Seventy-two titanium dental implants with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 10 mm were divided into four groups according to implant surface modifications (n=18 for each group): group A: sandblasting plus acid etching, group B: sandblasting with Al O, group C: Er,Cr:YSGG laser, group D: propolis coating.

Effects of restraint stress and surface treatments on the stability of titanium dental implant osseointegration in dogs: An in vivo comparative study.

Objectives: This study was aimed at assessing the effects of restraint stress and sandblasting; sandblasting with acid etching; Er-Cr: YSGG laser treatment; and propolis coating of implant surfaces on the implant stability quotient (ISQ) of grade 4 titanium dental implant osseointegration in model dogs.

Methods: A total of forty-eight CPTi dental implants were divided into four groups according to surface treatment: group A: sandblasting with acid etching; group B: sandblasting with AlO; group C: Er-Cr: YSGG laser; and group D: propolis coating. Sixteen male dogs of local breed,1-1.

Impact of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser, Sandblast, and Acid Etching Surface Modification on Surface Topography of Biodental Titanium Implants.

Several techniques have been used to modify the surface of commercially pure titanium (CPTi) implants to improve osseointegration using lasers, sandblasts, sandblasts with acid etching, and other modalities. For implant-osseointegration, surface features like chemical composition of a surface, topography, and surface energy are essential. The present comparative study aimed to compare the impact of Er,Cr:YSGG laser, sandblasting, and acid etching implant surface modifications on the surface topography, roughness, and element chemical composition of the Ti dental implant.

The Effect of Different levels of a Network Reinforced System and Curing Methods on Properties of Different Acrylic Resin Denture Base Materials.

Aims And Objective: This study aimed to compare the effect of the addition of light-cured fibre SES mesh at different levels (near the polished surface, at the middle, and near the tissue surface) within different acrylic resin denture base materials on the transverse strength and the surface hardness.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty samples were prepared from three types of acrylic resin denture base materials (high impact heat cured, cross-linked heat cured, and microwaved cured acrylic resins) to test the transverse strength and surface hardness. The samples were divided into four groups: Group1(samples without fibre reinforcement, Control group, = 30); Group 2 (samples reinforced using SES mesh network near the tissue surface of the acrylic resin sample, = 30); Group 3 (samples reinforced using SES mesh network near to the polished surface of the acrylic resin sample, = 30); Group 4 (samples reinforced using SES mesh reinforced network at the middle of the acrylic resin sample, = 30).

Shear Bond Strength of Two Repair Systems to Zirconia Ceramic by Different Surface Treatments.

Intraoral repair has been suggested as a treatment option to repair the chipping or fracture of veneered zirconia; the success of the procedure is mainly determined by the bonding between zirconia and composite resin. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of two intraoral repair systems to zirconia ceramic treated with a laser or air-abrasion surface modification. Ninety tube-shaped samples (diameter of 10 mm and height of 4 mm) were divided into three main groups: Group I (zirconia 100%, n=30); Group II (veneer ceramic 100% n=30); Group III (zirconia with a veneer ceramic n=30).

Ramadan Fasting in a Patient with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Receiving Nilotinib as Upfront.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm classically described as triphasic disease: chronic, accelerated, and blast crisis. There are many unmet needs and unanswered questions about CML. Intermittent fasting in patients with CML on tyrosine kinase inhibitors is among these unmet needs.

Influence of different surface treatments of nickel chrome metal alloy and types of metal primer monomers on the tensile bond strength of a resin cement.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments of nickel chrome (NiCr) with the type of metal primer monomers on the conventional tensile bond strength (CTBS) of resin cement.

Methods: Forty disks of NiCr alloy were prepared for CTBS test and grouped as follows: group (1) no surface treatment (control group), group (2) oxide layer only, group (3) air abrasion, and group (4) air abrasion with an oxide layer. Each main group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 5) depending upon the type of metal primer used for metal treatment.

Renal cortical oxygen tension is decreased following exposure to long-term but not short-term intermittent hypoxia in the rat.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs in more than 50% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the impact of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on renal function and oxygen homeostasis is unclear. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to IH (270 s at 21% O; 90 s hypoxia, 6.
