Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial efficacy of nanostructured dental implant surfaces against Porphyromonas gingivalis, a crucial bacterium in the progression of peri-implantitis. Additionally, to evaluate the possible effect of the modified implant surface on the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGnFs).
Method And Materials: As detailed in prior research, helium ions sputtering was used to produce nanospiked titanium surfaces with a height of 1000 nm (Ti1000). Smooth machined (Ti machined) and SLA titanium disks (TiSLA) served as controls. The antibacterial characteristics of the samples against P. gingivalis were evaluated by conventional culturing and SEM. The vitality of HGnFs was assessed using the MTT assay.
Results: Generally, nanostructured Ti1000 surfaces exhibited less bacterial counts than the two controls (Ti1000 vs TiSLA -36% and Ti1000 vs Ti machined -37%.) without being statistically significant. Moreover, the nanosurface did not affect the vitality of HGnFs.
Conclusion: The nanospikes of the modified titanium implant surface did not hinder gingival fibroblasts' vitality or proliferation characteristics. Optimizing the spacing and height parameters of the nanospikes could further improve the antibacterial effects of this unique re-modification approach.

Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is an oral bacterial pathogen that has been associated with systemic inflammation and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight and pre-term birth. Pg drives these sequelae through virulence factors decorating the outer membrane that are present on non-replicative outer membrane vesicles (OMV) that are suspected to be transmitted systemically. Given that Pg abundance can increase during pregnancy, it is not well known whether Pg-OMV can have deleterious effects on the brain of the developing fetus.

Objectives: To analyze the clinical, radiographic, and microbiological changes around implants with a multiphosphonate-treated surface, prosthetically loaded with two different protocols after 5 years of functional loading.
Material And Methods: A randomized clinical trial was designed to initiate prosthetic loading over single dental implants after 8 (control) or 4 weeks (test). Several variables were analyzed, including patients' level variables, intrasulcular biofilm, and marginal bone level at several time points, from 1 to 60 months after loading.

Introduction: extracts were prepared, and the antibacterial and anti-biofilm assays were investigated against two different periodontics-causing bacteria for the first time. The aim was to determine whether the extracts could restrict the growth of dental pathogens and to investigate the molecular docking between the ellagic acid of flower extracts and virulence proteins of dental pathogens.
Materials And Method: Antibacterial activity of various extracts was studied.
