    Abstract Various composite materials are available today for direct restorative techniques. The most well-known materials are the hybrid composites. This technology, based on methacrylates and different types of filler coupled with silanes, has been continuously improved. Disadvantages such as polymerisation shrinkage, bacterial adhesion and side effects due to monomer release still remain. The aim of material development is to eliminate or at least reduce these negative factors by adapting the individual components of the material. With ormocers, the methacrylate has been partially replaced by an inorganic network. According to recent studies, the biocompatibility was not improved in all cases. The development of compomer was an attempt to combine the positive properties of glassionomers with composite technology. This has only partially succeeded, because the fluoride release is low. In an in-situ study, a caries protective effect could be shown at least in the first days following filling placement with concurrent extra-oral demineralisation. By replacing the chain-monomers in the composite matrix by ring-shaped molecules, a new approach to reduce polymerisation shrinkage was investigated. A new group of materials, the siloranes, has been developed. Siloranes are hydrophobic and need to be bonded to the dental hard tissue using a special adhesive system. Long-term clinical studies are still needed to prove the superiority of this new group of materials over modern hybrid composites.

    Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been an excellent replacement for the natural bone in orthopedic applications owing to its close resemblance to the bone properties; however, it is brittle and has low strength. Surface modification techniques have been able to allay such mineral issues by depositing on substrate. These methods, being economical, impart mechanical strength without compromising biocompatibility. In this review article, the discussion is confined to plasma spray (high temperature) and other low temperature surface modification techniques: high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and cold spray. The processing temperature seems to significantly affect the performance of implants deposited with HA. Monolithic HA may not add enough strength to the bioimplants. Hence, this review discusses selective reinforcements to HA and their roles in enhancing the properties. Herein, a variety of selective reinforcements are discussed, such as carbon allotropes: graphene, carbon nanotubes, and nano diamond; metallic materials: Ag, Sr, Mg, and Ti; ceramic materials: Al₂O₃, SiO₂, ZrO₂, and TiO₂; multi-materials: Al₂O₃-CNT/HA, Al₂O₃–TiO₂/HA and others; and functionally graded composites: HA, 20 and 50 wt% Ti–6Al–4V/HA layered coating. Most of these reinforcements could not trade-off between biocompatibility and strength. The detailed in vitro and in vivo studies are still lacking. The literature on the relative effectiveness of these reinforcements is scanty, while the interface between HA coating and reinforcements is seldom explored. This review presents the suitability of thermal spray techniques based on the microstructure, mechanical, and biological properties. Therefore, it is envisaged that the present review can intrigue future researchers to understand the scope of surface coatings in achieving the better performance of implants at clinical trials.

  3. Article ; Online: Framework design and pontics of fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses - An overview.

    Perea-Lowery, Leila / Vallittu, Pekka K

    Abstract Purpose: Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) have shown good performance in clinical applications due to their good mechanical properties and minimally invasive approach. However, typical failure patterns of FRC FDPs are often localized at the pontic site. That reflects the structural considerations at the framework and pontic location that need to be examined when creating these kinds of prostheses.
    Study selection: Peer-reviewed articles and other scientific literature were reviewed for providing up-to-date information on how pontics of FRC FDPs can be made. A thorough literature search was done using PubMed and Google Scholar. Two individuals did an assessment of the articles in order to include those related to pontics and framework design of FRC FDPs. The search terms used were "fiber-reinforced dental prosthesis" and "Pontics of fiber-reinforced dental prosthesis".
    Results: These findings indicate that a cross-sectional fiber design, substructure and thicker pontics made of a variety of materials might reduce failures at the pontic site.
    Conclusions: The thickness of pontics of FRC FDPs interrelated with the vertical positioning of the FRC framework influences the load-bearing capacities of prostheses of these kinds. The understanding of the factors involved in the fabrication of pontics of FRC FDPs may overcome the drawbacks identified in these prostheses, thus extending their longevity.

    Abstract Objectives: This paper describes the chemistry and properties of polyacid-modified composite resins ("compomers") designed for use in clinical dentistry, and reviews the literature in this area.
    Methods: Information has been obtained from over 50 published articles appearing in the dental and biomaterials literature, with studies being principally identified through MedLine.
    Results: Published work shows that polyacid-modified composite resins constitute a discrete class of polymeric repair material for use in dentistry. Their distinction is that they contain hydrophilic components, and these cause water to be drawn into the material following cure. This triggers an acid-base reaction, and gives the materials certain clinically-desirable properties (fluoride release, buffering capability) that are also associated with glass-ionomer cements. The water uptake leads to a decline in certain, though not all, physical properties. However, clinical studies have shown these materials to perform acceptably in a variety of applications (Class I, Class II and Class V cavities, as fissure sealants and as orthodontic band cements), especially in children's teeth.
    Conclusions/significance: Polyacid-modified composite resins constitute a versatile class of dental repair material, whose bioactivity confers clinical advantages, and which are particularly useful in children's dentistry.

    Abstract Abstract Background Enormous improvements in dental materials’ manufacturing for the aim of producing durable dental materials without compromising the aesthetic properties were developed. One of the approaches that fulfill this aim is the use of reinforcing glass fibers as fillers into dental materials, typically resin polymers, in order to obtain glass fiber-reinforced composites. Glass fiber-reinforced composite offered many advantages to the dental materials though some limitations were recorded in many literature. Methods In this review, a study of the glass fibers’ types, factors affecting the properties and the properties of glass fibers reinforced materials was carried out; in addition, research papers that experimentally studied their applications in dentistry were presented. Conclusion The success of glass fibers reinforced composites in dentistry depends on glass fibers’ composition, orientation, distribution, amount, length and adhesion; these factors once employed according to the required clinical situation would provide the essential reinforcement to the dental restorations and appliances.

    Abstract: ... phenolic composition and biological and pharmacological activities.: Material and methods: Literature ... medicine, this plant species has been used for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hypotensive properties ... of the scientific literature on A. eupatoria, particularly in regard to its ethnobotanics and ethnomedicinal uses ...

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Agrimonia eupatoria L., a plant which belongs to the Rosaceae family, is widespread in temperate regions, particularly throughout the northern hemisphere. In folk medicine, this plant species has been used for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hypotensive properties as well as in gastrointestinal disorders. As these biological properties have been linked to its phenolic composition, this plant species could be an interesting source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.
    Aim of the study: The aim of the present review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific literature on A. eupatoria, particularly in regard to its ethnobotanics and ethnomedicinal uses, phenolic composition and biological and pharmacological activities.
    Material and methods: Literature was retrieved from several bibliographic sources, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, since the first report on A. eupatoria in 1993.
    Results: Regarding the phytochemical composition, A. eupatoria is rich in phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins. The most commonly reported compounds are astragalin, cynaroside, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, isovitexin, rutin, catechin, procyanidin B3 and agrimoniin. In terms of bioactivity, extracts or fractions obtained from this plant species have shown antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties, among others. So far, two clinical studies with the infusion of A. eupatoria have shown hepatoprotective properties as well as a protective role in cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and diabetes.
    Conclusions: In this review, an integrative perspective on ethnomedicinal use, phenolic composition and pharmacological activity of A. eupatoria has been provided. As can be seen, this plant species exhibits several potential applications, including those beyond its traditional ethnomedicinal uses, as the safety of its consumption has been shown clinically. There still is limited pharmacological evidence that corroborates the ethnomedicinal uses of this plant species as well as regarding the specific bioactive compounds.

    Abstract The reinforcement of resins with short or long fibers has multiple applications in various engineering and biomedical fields. The use of fiber reinforced composites (FRCs) in dentistry has been described in the literature from more than 40 years. In vitro studies evaluated mechanical properties such as flexural strength, fatigue resistance, fracture strength, layer thickness, bacterial adhesion, bonding characteristics with long fibers, woven fibers, and FRC posts. Also, multiple clinical applications such as replacement of missing teeth by resin-bonded adhesive fixed dental prostheses of various kinds, reinforcement elements of dentures or pontics, and direct construction of posts and cores have been investigated. In orthodontics, FRCs have been used also for active and passive orthodontic applications, such as anchorage units, en-masse movement units, and postorthodontic tooth retention. FRCs have been extensively tested in the literature, but today the advances in new technologies involving the introduction of nanofillers or new fibers along with understanding the design principles of FRC devices open new fields of research for these materials both in vitro and in vivo. The present review describes past and present applications of FRCs and introduces some future perspectives on the use of these materials.
