Biofilm formation on prostheses and implanted devices can lead to serious complications and increased healthcare expenditures. Once formed, biofilm management is difficult and may involve a long course of antibiotics, additional surgery, and, occasionally, implant removal. This study evaluated the antibacterial properties of medical-grade silicone samples integrated with novel, non-leaching, antibacterial, quaternary ammonium silica (QASi) particles.

Background: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) refer to the loss of dental hard tissue in the cervical region due to physical and/or chemical factors, often associated with the disappearance of the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), posing challenges in both diagnosis and treatment of gingival recessions (GR). This case study introduces two protocols for multidisciplinary CEJ reconstruction prior to the root coverage therapy (RCT).
Methods: Two patients with GR and NCCLs were treated using two CEJ reconstruction techniques: both, analogically and digitally guided.

Gallium-based liquid metals (LMs) have surface tension an order of magnitude higher than water and break up into micro-droplets when mixed with other liquids. In contrast, silicone oil readily mixes into LM foams to create oil-in-LM emulsions with oil inclusions. Previously, the LM was foamed through rapid mixing in air for an extended duration (over 2 h).
