Customized modular multi-material mouthguard and method of making the same
Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Martin Broome
There is described a mouthguard comprising an externally exposed impact protective region defined by a first material property and configured to cover a front tooth, an internally exposed occlusional cushioning region defined by a second material property ...
2024Design of Customized Mouthguards with Superior Protection Using Digital-Based Technologies and Impact Tests
Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Martin Broome
Background In contact sports, an impact on the jaw can generate destructive stress on the tooth-bone system. Mouthguards can be beneficial in reducing the injury risk by changing the dynamics of the trauma. The material properties of mouthguards and their ...
Springer2024Evidence of a transient phase during the hydrolysis of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite
In the present paper, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def OHAP) has been examined in a transmission electron microscope. During the observation, the initial Ca-def OHAP was seen to transform first into a transient intermediate phase, then to a final, ...
WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2022Hierarchically Patterned Polydopamine-Containing Membranes for Periodontal Tissue Engineering
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting tissues. We engineer a multifunctional periodontal membrane for the guided tissue regeneration of lost periodontal tissues. The major drawback of current periodontal membr ...
2019Scaffold requirements for periodontal regeneration with enamel matrix derivative proteins
John Christopher Plummer, Laurent Mirko Dejace, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Peter Fischer, Alessandra Apicella
Periodontitis affects the attachment of natural teeth, and infection or inflammation associated with periodontitis may affect peri-implant tissues. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) proteins provide stimulation for self-regeneration of the damaged tissue when ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin
John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Vincenzo Colangelo
Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy. Modifications in molecular conformation induced ...
Taylor & Francis Inc2017The merits of ion cyclotron heating schemes for sawtooth control in tokamak plasmas
Jonathan Graves, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin
JET experiments have compared the efficacy of low-and high field side ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) as an actuator to deliberately minimise the sawtooth period. It is found that low-field side ICRH with low minority concentration is optimal for sa ...
Cambridge University Press2015Strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium carbonate as templates for the precipitation of calcium-phosphates in the absence and presence of fluoride
Janet Gordon Hering, Michèle Bernadette Heeb
The heterogeneous precipitation of calcium phosphates on calcium hydroxyapariLe (Ca-10(PO4)(4)OH)(2) or HAP) in the presence arid absence of fluoride is important in the formation of bone and teeth, protection against tooth decay, dental and skeletal fluor ...
Elsevier Science Bv2014Sputtered titanium oxynitride coatings for endosseous applications: Physical and chemical evaluation and first bioactivity assays
Rosendo Sanjines, Alessandro Pontearso
Titanium oxynitride coatings (TiNxO3,) are considered a promising material for applications in dental implantology due to their high corrosion resistance, their biocompatibility and their superior hardness. Using the sputtering technique, TiNxO3, films wit ...
Elsevier Science Bv2014Detection and Strain Typing of Ancient Mycobacterium leprae from a Medieval Leprosy Hospital
Stewart Cole, Pushpendra Singh
Nine burials excavated from the Magdalen Hill Archaeological Research Project (MHARP) in Winchester, UK, showing skeletal signs of lepromatous leprosy (LL) have been studied using a multidisciplinary approach including osteological, geochemical and biomole ...
