Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium oxide antibacterial surfaces in biomedical devices
Livia Visai,Luigi De Nardo,Carlo Punta,Lucio Melone,Alberto Cigada,Marcello Imbriani,Carla Renata Arciola +6 more
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the use of titanium oxide as coating for materials in biomedical devices and the main aspects of TiO2 photoactivated antimicrobial activity on medical devices and limitations for these types of applications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro and in vivo behaviour of Ca- and P-enriched anodized titanium
Milena Fini,Alberto Cigada,G. Rondelli,Roberto Chiesa,Roberto Giardino,Gianluca Giavaresi,Nicolò Nicoli Aldini,Paola Torricelli,B. Vicentini +8 more
TL;DR: Histomorphometric analysis conducted on samples inserted in the cancellous bone of distal femoral epiphysis of Sprague-Dawley rats gave the following results: Affinity index (AI%) data proving the surface osteconductive properties of non-anodized acid etched Ti indicated that hydroxyapatite allowed a higher bone to implant contact respect to Ti only.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and histomorphometric evaluations of titanium implants with different surface treatments inserted in sheep cortical bone.
Gianluca Giavaresi,Milena Fini,Alberto Cigada,Roberto Chiesa,G. Rondelli,Lia Rimondini,Paola Torricelli,Nicolò Nicoli Aldini,Roberto Giardino +8 more
TL;DR: Although MACH implants show some surface contaminating agents, they appear to ensure good osseointegration within 12 weeks both mechanically and histomorphometrically, as do ANODIC and HAVPS implants, but further studies are required to investigate bone hardness and mineralization around implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased bacterial adhesion to surface-treated titanium.
B. Del Curto,M.F. Brunella,Carmen Giordano,MariaPia Pedeferri,Viviana Valtulina,Livia Visai,Alberto Cigada +6 more
TL;DR: The surface modification treatment analyzed in the present study might be an elegant way to reduce the risk of bacterial adhesion and increase the lifetime of the transgingival component in the osteointegrated dental implant.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new austenitic stainless steel with negligible nickel content: an in vitro and in vivo comparative investigation.
Milena Fini,N. Nicoli Aldini,Paola Torricelli,Gianluca Giavaresi,Veronica Borsari,H. Lenger,J. Bernauer,Roberto Giardino,Roberto Chiesa,Alberto Cigada +9 more
TL;DR: The current findings demonstrate P558 biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo, and osteointegration processes are shown to be significantly improved by P558 as compared to the other materials tested.
