Analysis of the Osseointegration Process of Dental Implants by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: An In Vivo Study.

This research work presents an analysis of the process of an implant's osseointegration to the jawbone tissue. The purpose of this work was to describe the processes of assimilation and the biochemical dynamics which occur during dental implantation using implants with different macro-microstructure surfaces at the level of stable free radicals using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method. The experimental investigation was conducted on seven Vietnamese minipigs over twelve months old and weighing up to 30 kg using implants with various macro-microstructure surfaces (SLA, RBM, and HST) and implantation systems, namely the Adin, Sunran, Biomed, and Osstem systems.

Study of Electron-Nuclear Interactions in Doped Calcium Phosphates by Various Pulsed EPR Spectroscopy Techniques.

Substituted calcium phosphates (CaPs) are vital materials for the treatment of bone diseases and repairing and replacement of defects in human hard tissues. In this paper, we present some applications of the rarely used pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and hyperfine interaction spectroscopy approaches [namely, electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and electron-electron double-resonance detected nuclear magnetic resonance (EDNMR)] to investigate synthetic CaPs (hydroxyapatite, tricalcium, and octacalcium phosphate) doped with various cations (Li, Na, Mn, Cu, Fe, and Ba). These resonance techniques provide reliable tools to obtain unique information about the presence and localization of impurity centers and values of hyperfine and quadrupole tensors.
