Purpose: To evaluate the biocompatibility of oxide film formed by micro-arc oxidation(MAO) on titanium surface by culturing bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) on its surface and observing the BMSCs's biological behavior of early adhesion, growth and alkaline phosphatase activity.
Methods: According to the surface treatments, the samples were classified into 4 groups: MAO group, abrator group, abrator and NaOH-treated group, and untreated titanium group. Attachment, growth and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of BMSCs cultured on the titanium surface of each group were assessed at different time. All data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA using SPSS11.5 software package.
Results: From a morphological point of view, cell adherence in the MAO group was the best. Cell count and ALP activity in the MAO group were highest(P<0.01).
Conclusions: MAO film on pure titanium surface may increase BMSCs adhesion, growth and ALP activity and titanium surface treated with MAO exhibits better biocompatibility.

Statement Of Problem: While valued for their durability in dental prosthetics, polyaryletherketone (PAEK) materials, known for their chemical inertness and low surface energy, pose significant challenges in achieving durable adhesion to resin cements, a critical factor for the long-term success of dental restorations.
Purpose: This study evaluates the novel application of a methyl methacrylate-urethane dimethacrylate (MMA-UDMA) bonding primer following handheld nonthermal plasma (HNP) treatment to enhance the bonding performance and aging durability of PAEK materials with varying microfiller compositions, addressing the persistent challenge of achieving long-term adhesion in dental restorations.
Material And Methods: Three PAEK types, ceramic-filled polyetheretherketone (PEEK), titanium dioxide-filled polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), and PEEK with disk shape (Ø10×2.

Introduction: This study evaluated the fatigue resistance of two Nickel-titanium (NiTi) engine-driven file systems with identical geometries and different heat treatments tested under static and dynamic conditions in simulated root canals.
Methods: Cyclic fatigue tests were conducted using ProTaper Universal (PTU) and ProTaper Gold (PTG) instruments with a curvature of 35° and a radius of 6 mm in both static and dynamic modes at body temperature using a customized cyclic fatigue testing device. The number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was recorded.

This study aimed to histomorphometrically evaluate the effect of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and two implant surfaces on the thickness and height of newly formed bone in dehiscence defects around titanium implants. Three premolars and the first bilateral molar were extracted from ten adult mongrel dogs, and 40 buccal bone dehiscences measuring 5 mm in height and 4 mm in width were created using a University of North Carolina (UNC) periodontal probe to confirm the dimensions. Forty implants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: oxidized implant surfaces (OIS, n = 10), turned/machined implant surfaces (TIS, n = 10), OIS + GBR (n = 10), and TIS + GBR (n = 10).

The surfaces of 1D layered lepidocrocite-structured titanates (1DLs) are negatively charged due to an oxygen-to-titanium atomic ratio >2. This, and their layered structure, allow for facile ion exchange and high colloidal stability, demonstrated by ζ-potentials of ≈ -85 mV at their unadjusted pH of ≈10.4.

This work aims to construct a functional titanium surface with spontaneous electrical stimulation for immune osteogenesis and antibacteria. A silver-calcium micro-galvanic cell was engineered on the titanium implant surface to spontaneously generate microcurrents for osteoimmunomodulation and bacteria killing, which provides a promising strategy for the design of a multifunctional electroactive titanium implant. Titanium-based implants are usually bioinert, which often leads to inflammation-induced loosening.
