Advanced Biomaterials for Dental Applications

Provides an overview of advanced biomaterials and techniques used in modern dental applications, primarily focusing on implantology, restorative materials, and bone regeneration. Several articles investigate the mechanical and biological properties of different dental materials, such as the fatigue performance and hardness of resin composite blocks with zirconia inserts for implant crowns, and the antimicrobial activity of calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers over time against biofilms. Other research explores methods for improving osseointegration, including the use of alendronate coatings on titanium implants to promote calcium phosphate formation, and a review details the design and surface modifications for zirconia dental implants. Finally, studies also examine materials for soft and hard tissue augmentation, comparing the efficacy of connective tissue grafts versus acellular dermal matrices for soft tissue management in immediate implant placement and introducing phosphorylated pullulan as a bioabsorbable, adhesive material for bone replacement.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
