Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a polyglycol dimethacrylate-based adhesive in preventing bacterial leakage through implant-abutment interfaces (IAIs).

Materials And Methods: After implant installation, the adhesive was applied in the experimental group (n = 10). None was applied in the control group (n = 10). Samples were collected from the inner walls of implants on days 0 and 90. The real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect bacterial DNA.

Results: All samples from the control group, versus 30% from the experimental group, harbored bacterial DNA on day 90.

Conclusions: This polyglycol dimethacrylate-based adhesive may be used to seal the IAI. Further studies are warranted to verify its effectiveness over longer time periods.

Objective: To evaluate experimental dimethacrylate-based materials containing calcium orthophosphates or calcium silicate particles in terms of their optical, mechanical and Ca release behaviour.

Methods: Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), hydroxyapatite (HAp), beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or calcium silicate (CaSi) particles were added to a photocurable BisGMA/TEGDMA resin (1:1 in mols) at a 30 vol% fraction. Materials containing silanized or non-silanized barium glass particles were used as controls.

This study focuses to develop a unique hybrid hydrogel bioink formulation that incorporates poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA), gelatin (Gel), and methylcellulose (MC). This formulation achieves the necessary viscosity for extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing of scaffolds intended for bone regeneration. After thorough optimization of the hybrid bioink system with Gel, three distinct scaffold groups are investigated in vitro: 0%, 3%, and 6% (w/v) Gel.

Objectives: The aim was to develop bone composites with similar working times, faster polymerisation and higher final conversion in comparison to Cortoss™. Additionally, low shrinkage/heat generation and improved short and longer-term mechanical properties are desirable.

Methods: Four urethane dimethacrylate based composites were prepared using tri-ethylene-glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) or polypropylene dimethacrylate (PPGDMA) diluent and 0 or 20 wt% fibres in the glass filler particles.
