In order to enhance the antibacterial property of titanium implant without inducing obvious cytotoxicity, the combination of Ag nanolayer and micro/nano surface structure was conducted by magnetron sputtering and hot-alkali treatment in this study. A series of specimens (AH-Ti, AH-Ti/Ag0.25, AH-Ti/Ag1, AH-Ti/Ag2, and AH-Ti/Ag5) were prepared with different sputtering durations (0 min, 0.25 min, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min), respectively, all realizing long-term release of Ag+. In vitro experiments indicated that AH-Ti/Ag1 group possessed good cytocompatibility, nice osteogenic ability, and excellent antibacterial efficiency as well. In addition, AH-Ti/Ag0.25 showed good biocompatibility, while the reduction of (78.5%) was not enough compared with AH-Ti/Ag1. Although the AH-Ti/Ag2 and AH-Ti/Ag5 group showed superior antibacterial activity, their obvious cytotoxicity caused low ALP and mineralization level. Therefore, the design of suitable Ag nanolayer coating combined with micro/nano surface structure (AH-Ti/Ag1) might be a promising strategy to enhance osteogenic property and maintain excellent antibacterial ability at the same time.

Introduction/objectives: Failures of osseointegrated implants pose a significant challenge in the medical field, often attributed to prolonged osseointegration periods and bacterial infections. Functionalization of Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes (TNTs) has emerged as a promising strategy to improve osseointegration and mitigate infections. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis and systematic review to identify trends, gaps, and advancements in research on the functionalization of TNTs for osseointegration improvement.

The aims of this study were twofold: first, to investigate the surface roughness of different abutment materials prepared using various manufacturing methods; and, second, to evaluate colonization by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans according to abutment material and manufacturing method. Six material/manufacturing method combinations were investigated in this study, namely chromium-cobalt (Cr-Co) (prepared using casting, milling, and laser sintering) and titanium, zirconia, and anodized titanium (all prepared using milling); titanium (stock) abutments were used as the control group. Surface roughness of seven specimens from each group was evaluated using atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Biophysical stimuli such as alternating electrical fields can mimic endogenous electrical potentials and currents in natural bone. This can help to improve the healing and reconstruction of bone tissue. However, little is known about the combined influence of biomaterials and alternating electric fields on bone cells.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the vertical misfit at the implant-abutment interface in external and internal connections across various implant brands, comparing original milled titanium abutments with laser-sintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) abutments.
Materials And Methods: A total of 160 implants from four different brands were utilized, with 80 featuring external connections (EC) and 80 internal connections (IC). Original milled titanium abutments (n = 160) and Co-Cr laser-sintered abutments (n = 160) were randomly attached to each connection type, following the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.
