Effects of TiO2 nanotubes with different diameters on gene expression and osseointegration of implants in minipigs.

TLDR
TiO(2) nanotubes can modulate bone formation events at the bone-implant interface as to reach favorable molecular response and osseointegration and the diameters of nanot tubes can be precisely controlled in order to obtain better bone formation.

Nanocomposite Coatings on Biomedical Grade Stainless Steel for Improved Corrosion Resistance and Biocompatibility

TL;DR: The porous TiO (2)/ZrO(2) nanocomposite coated over 316 L stainless steels was studied for their enhanced performance in terms of its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, following a sol-gel process via dip-coating technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced osseointegration and antibacterial action of zinc-loaded titania-nanotube-coated titanium substrates: in vitro and in vivo studies.

TL;DR: Improved bone formation was shown and the cytotoxicity of locally high concentrations of zinc in the NT-Zn3h specimens observed during in vitro studies was mitigated by the effects of dilution in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The application of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants in cranioplasty.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the outcome of research conducted on the material for cranioplasty applications, and to tell about the future prospects of PEEK in the field of clinical crANIoplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel surfaces and osseointegration in implant dentistry.

TL;DR: The application of modern surfaces in dental clinical practice might increase and accelerate implant osseointegration, but could also reduce the occurrence of peri-implant bone loss and favor the re-osseointEGration of an affected surface.

Matrix elasticity directs stem cell lineage specification.

TL;DR: Naive mesenchymal stem cells are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensitivity to tissue-level elasticity, consistent with the elasticity-insensitive commitment of differentiated cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Novel Zinc Finger-Containing Transcription Factor Osterix Is Required for Osteoblast Differentiation and Bone Formation

TL;DR: It is proposed that Runx2/Cbfa1-expressing preosteoblasts are still bipotential cells, because Osx null preostEoblasts express typical chondrocyte marker genes, and Osx acts downstream of Runx 2/C bfa1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Titanium oxide nanotube arrays prepared by anodic oxidation

TL;DR: In this article, the average tube diameter, ranging in size from 25 to 65 nm, was found to increase with increasing anodizing voltage, while the length of the tube was found independent of anodization time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoinduction, osteoconduction and osseointegration.

TL;DR: Osseointegration is the stable anchorage of an implant achieved by direct bone-to-implant contact in craniofacial implantology and this mode of anchorage is the only one for which high success rates have been reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cell fate dictated solely by altered nanotube dimension

TL;DR: Altering the dimensions of nanotubular-shaped titanium oxide surface structures independently allowed either augmented human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) adhesion or a specific differentiation of hMSCs into osteoblasts by using only the geometric cues, absent of osteogenic inducing media.
