Thermosensitive hydrogels have been widely used in the biotechnology field as carriers for controlled drug release, and can be an alternative for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant inflammations. Thus, the present study aims to develop a new hydrogel based on poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) polymer for controlled release of tetracycline (TC) and evaluate its properties and composition…

Oral probiotics appear to improve the treatment of peri-implant diseases, but there is limited evidence on the mechanisms involved in microbiological modulation on dental implant surfaces. Thus, this proof-of-concept study aims to evaluate the effect of topical oral supplementation with Lactobacillus reuteri (LR; BioGaia®) on the viability, metabolism, structure, pathogenicity and virulen…
Titanium (Ti) coatings deposited by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) exhibit satisfactory biological results. However, the addition of antimicrobial agents such as chemical elements and antibiotics is necessary. Unlike other elements, zinc (Zn) demonstrates good antibacterial capacity and excellent cytocompatibility. The antibiotic demeclocycline (DMC) stands out for presenting, in add…
The surface coating of biomaterials by conductive polymers, such as polypyrrole (PPy), demonstrates to be a promising strategy due to its unique electrical properties. Our previous study showed that the pretreatment of titanium (Ti) surfaces by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) followed by the deposition of the PPy film (PEO+PPy), improved the mechanical and electrochemical properties o…

The titanium (Ti) dental implant decontamination process must not only remove bacterial biofilms and contaminants but also preserve the original surface treatment of the implant to possibly achieve re-osseointegration of the affected area. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the deleterious effect of physical decontamination methods on surface properties, electrochemical behavior and…
Conductive polymers have been pointed as a promising coating strategy for biomaterials. Polypyrole (PPy) is a conductive polymer that present adequate biological and anticorrosive properties when deposited onto titanium (Ti) surfaces. However, PPy coatings have limitations such as low adhesion to metals and poor mechanical resistance. Therefore, this study aims to develop a biocompatible …
The bacterial colonization of the implants and the biofilm formation on their surface can lead to the occurrence of peri-implantitis, which is one of the main factors of treatment failure. Citric acid has been considered the chemical agent with the greatest potential for biofilm removal from the surface of titanium (Ti). However, their use may lead to physico-chemical changes in the surfa…

Dental implants and membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in current clinical use have no direct effect on the regulation of bone cells. Thus, the need to develop biomaterials that could assist in recruiting endogenous stem cells and support, guide and stimulate the innate bone regeneration is still ongoing. Copper (Cu) ions have been used to functionalize biomaterials due to its a…
A stable connection between the titanium implant surface/abutment and periimplant soft tissues is an important approach for the long-term success of dental implant treatment. Thus, such surface should minimize the bacterial colonization while allowing a good adhesion of the oral tissues. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial and biocompatibility potential…
Biofilm formation on titanium (Ti) implant surfaces can trigger inflammation in the adjacent mucosal tissues. Mixed fungal-bacterial biofilms, consisting of Candida albicans and oral streptococci of the mitis group, have been shown to trigger an exaggerated inflammatory response. However, the growth of mixed fungal-bacterial biofilms on Ti and its effect on mucosal inflammation has not be…
