The effects of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics and biofilm formation

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the impact of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics (surface roughness and wettability) and biofilm formation (viability and mass). Materials and Methods Titanium discs were obtained from pre‐milled abutment blanks made of titanium‐6aluminum‐7niobium alloy.

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...

Investigation of 222‐nm ultraviolet C irradiation bactericidal effect on the surgical field in a rabbit model

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In a rabbit surgical field model seeded with polymicrobial flora, a single dose of 222‐nm UV‐C (500 mJ/cm2) markedly reduced bacterial colonies, achieving a bactericidal effect comparable to 254‐nm UV‐C (200 mJ/cm2), while no UV‐C irradiation showed heavy growth. Wound healing did not differ among groups. Microbiota profiling detected SSI‐relevant taxa

Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...
