TL;DR: Most common used inorganic and organic antibacterial agents which have potential to be utilized in biomedical applications are provided, thus, classifying the trends of antibacterial mechanism on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

TL;DR: Non-cylindrical abutments provided a stable locking mechanism that reduced micromotion, and therefore reduced the occurrence of microgaps, but stress tends to concentrate at the vertices of abutment, which could lead to microfractures and subsequent microgap formation.

TL;DR: Characterisation techniques showed that Ag nanoparticles and HA agglomerations were successfully immobilised on the polydopamine film through an element reduction process, which is crucial to prevent bacterial infection during the first stage of implant restoration.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current studies on ethnomedicinal practices, phytochemistry, pharmacological studies and a potential study of Acalypha indica in different locations around the world to provide a useful and basic knowledge platform for anyone interested in gaining information about this plant.

TL;DR: A strong beneficial effect of the crosslinked PDA film in immobilizing CHX on bio-inert metal, and these materials are applicable in medical devices.
