Bioactive glasses (BGs) are currently employed in a wide range of medical and dentistry applications by virtue of their bone-bonding ability. The incorporation of BGs into a collagen matrix may be used to combine the regenerative potential of these materials
A novel bioglass composition (BGMS10), containing strontium and magnesium and characterized by an ultra-high crystallization temperature, is here employed for the first time to produce different composites with the addition of specific amounts of hydroxyapatite. After an investigation of the
Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA, 27(2), 760-767 (2012-12-25)
When in vitro test systems are evaluated for assessment of the toxicity of chemical compounds, particular efforts are made to mimic the in vivo reality as close as possible. Cellular models with appropriate metabolic competence, i.e. with the potency to
Microscopy research and technique, 76(2), 126-132 (2012-10-31)
The aim of this randomized crossover investigation was to assess the biofilm formation on two titanium and one zirconia substrates in relation to the topography and surface roughness of the materials. Twenty-four discs specimens for each evaluated material (Machined pure
The effects of ibuprofen (IBU) on the immune parameters of the clam Ruditapes philippinarum were investigated after a 7-day exposure to sublethal IBU concentrations (0, 0 + ethanol, 100, 500, and 1000 μg/L). Total haemocyte count (THC), haemocyte diameter and
