Presenting the innovative findings from recent clinical research first unveiled at the last EAO conference: 'Clinical Advancements with Super-Hydrophilic Bioactive-Surfaced Implants: Insights from a Controlled Clinical Trial' by Prof. Luigi Canullo. Our study focused on MultiNeO™ powered by NiNA™ implant and revealed a significant breakthrough in implantology. The bioactive implant surface showed interesting performance, especially in D3-D4 bone quality, during early bone healing. These results suggest a potential game-changer in dental implant stability, with implications for faster transition from primary to secondary stability. This research has profound implications for advancing dental treatment protocols and improving patient outcomes.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that my dissertation, titled "Ultrastructural and Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Hyperplastic Soft Tissues Surrounding Dental Implants in Fibular Jaws," has been published in Scientific Reports. This research explores critical insights into peri-implant hyperplasia, providing a foundation for innovative strategies in dental implant rehabilitation. A huge thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey!

IP Diagnosis: Is my medical invention patentable? Part 5 – Treatment by surgery In the present blog series 📰 https://lnkd.in/dU4YaA6D a guide on patenting medical inventions is provided. Part 5 deals with treatments by surgery or surgical methods. The assessment whether a treatment or a step is surgical must be based on the correct criteria. What’s the matter❓ 💡 The assessment of whether a certain procedure qualifies as a surgical step is based on specific criteria developed and evolved in case law over the years. Why is it important❓ 💡 When trying to determine whether a method might be a surgical method and thus excluded from patent protection, it is important to apply the correct criteria to arrive at the right conclusion. What’s the critical point❓ 💡 If you refer to outdated or obsolete criteria, your assessment might lead to the wrong conclusion and the claimed subject-matter might be excluded from patentability. What needs to be kept in mind❓ 💡 An objective determination based on the correct criteria, is particularly important before drafting and filing a patent application for a medical invention including surgical steps.

What factors affect bacterial adhesion to implants? This clinically important question for craniofacial procedures was addressed last year by Sargraz et al. Their study in Polymers assessed bacterial adhesion on PEEK plastic implants versus titanium implants, with and without saliva treatment, to mimic intraoral surgical conditions. The findings showed that for saliva-treated specimens PEEK had greater adhesion of S. aureus than Type 2 titanium, but was not statistically significantly different to Type 5 titanium for adhesion of the same bacteria. Additionally, PEEK has greater adhesion of E. coli than Type 5 titanium, but was not statistically significantly different to Type 2 titanium. Perhaps most importantly, the study underscored the significant impact of salivary coating on bacterial attachment, leading to increased biofilm formation by certain bacteria. Ultimately, the study findings emphasized that salivary coatings play a more significant role in bacterial adhesion than the choice of implant material or CAM technique. These findings have broad implications, particularly for dental implants and craniofacial procedures, as well as other fields, including spinal implants, orthopedic surgery, and cranioplasty. #PEEK #Biofilms #MedicalDevices #Titanium #OralHealth #Bioactivity #Research #Craniofacial

I'm excited to share our latest published paper in #Biology, where we demonstrated the effects of topographic modification on dental implants using laser ablation with or without hydroxyapatite coating. This research was conducted by my dear friends, Dr. Santos and Dr. Capalbo-Silva, during their PhDs at #SãoPauloStateUniversity (FOA/UNESP), under Dr. Souza's supervision. Our findings suggest that these modifications enhance and accelerate osseointegration. https://lnkd.in/dnvXH7_r

Brief description of in vivo results of #Cyberbone implants (local effect after implantation).

#invivo #biomaterials #implants In vivo results of #Cyberbone implants (local effect after implantation). The study was performed on New Zealand rabbits according to the ISO 10993 standard. "On histological studies at 180 days after implantation, a thin band of ossifying fibrous connective tissue or spongy bone tissue was found around the implant. The band surrounding the implant had features of compact fibrous connective tissue to the skin side and features of spongy bone tissue to the dura. The bone tissue around the implant showed activity of osteoblasts involved in regenerative processes. The band around the implant from the inner side of the i.e. material had features of inflammatory granulation tissue also associated with regenerative processes. Numerous small blood vessels were visible in the band.  The band around the implant showed small individual amounts of material distributed into the surrounding tissue. In the bone surrounding the implant, a high approximate 50% proportion of bone beads was visible ( the rest was bone marrow, connective tissue, blood vessels, morphotic elements, etc.)." In the photos: "Microscopic image 180 days after composite implantation into skull bone in a rabbit.  At the top left - At the top of the implant, surrounded by a band of fibrous connective tissue (tt), in the surrounding spongy bone tissue (tk), osteoblast activity is visible (O) 100x.

I am happy to share our recent work published in Clinical Oral Implants Research. In this work we evaluted the implant postioning accuracy and patient-centered results in patients treated by dynamic navigation guided implantation using two different registration methods. Thanks a lot for the diligent work of the entire team. Looking forward to more exciting work to achieve better clinical treatment 🙂 #clinicalresearch #implantology #implantdentistry #evidencebasedpractice
