Article Synopsis
- 3D-printed resins are gaining popularity for temporary dental restorations, but their effects on oral tissue compatibility are not well understood.
- The study aimed to assess how different postpolymerization times impact the toxicity of these resins, using a model simulating oral tissue.
- Findings showed that shorter postpolymerization times significantly reduced the viability and metabolism of oral cells, while longer times allowed partial recovery, indicating a relationship between curing duration and cytotoxic effects.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of implant surface decontaminated and uncontaminated on osteoblast-like cell adhesion and proliferation MATERIALS AND METHODS: Commercially available implants of different brands and surface characteristics were selected: Biomet 3i® Nanotite (NT) and Osseotite (OT), Straumann® SLActive (SLA), and Neodent® Acqua Drive (ACQ) and Neoporos Drive CM (CM). Physical and chemical properties of the implants were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and wettability analysis (WETT). Implants were previously contaminated with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans strains; after that, samples were decontaminated by different chemical methods.
