Despite the growing advances in dental implants for the rehabilitation of missing teeth, the increasing incidence of peri-implant diseases reflects the limitation of current therapies in controlling biofilm and stimulating bone regeneration. Thus, the present study aims to develop a new multifunctional strategy for the control of peri-implant infections by creating an injectable electroco…
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…

Peri-implantitis is characterized by the presence of a dysbiotic pathogenic biofilm around implants, leading to soft tissue inflammation and progressive bone loss in peri-implant areas, representing one of the primary causes of implant failure and loss. The lack of consensus on the ideal treatment reflects the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches, such as mechanical debridement and s…
Building on the advances achieved during the proponent's master's project (FAPESP grant nº 15677-5), which developed a multifunctional zinc-doped (Zn) coating by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with promising antibacterial and bioactive properties, this doctoral project aims to explore photocatalysis as a strategy to enhance the antimicrobial effect of the coating, transforming it int…
The presence of a pathogenic dysbiotic peri-implant biofilm with inflammation of the soft tissues and progressive bone loss in the tissues surrounding the dental implants constitutes peri-implantitis, the cause of most dental implant failure and loss. The lack of consensus on the best treatment reveals the ineffectiveness of commonly used therapies, such as mechanical debridement and syst…

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 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…

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…
