  2. 21. Bioactive Surgical Implant Coatings with Optional Antibacterial Function

    Author : Mirjam Lilja; Maria Strømme; Håkan Engqvist; Håvard Haugen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydroxyapatite; titanium dioxide; photocatalysis; antibacterial effect; antibiotic release; biomimetic coating; co-precipitation; tobramycin;

    Abstract : Device associated infections are a growing problem in the field of orthopaedics and dentistry. Bacteria adhering to implant surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation are challenging to treat with systemic administered antibiotics. READ MORE

  4. 22. Flame nanoengineering of antibiofilm surfaces for medical implants

    Author : Felix J. Geissel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infection of bone implants is a major problem in the Healthcare sector today. Over the last years it has started to become more problematic due to biofilm formation and increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A biofilm provides mechanical shielding to bacteria by ingulfing them leading to a less effective treatment with antibiotics. READ MORE

  5. 23. Cellular responses to titanium surfaces blasted with TiO2 particles

    Author : Kamal Mustafa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A major determinant of successful osseointegration of endosseous implants is the surface topography of the implant, which influences the cellular response of the surrounding tissues. This series of experimental studies investigated cellular responses to surface modifications of titanium implant material. READ MORE

  6. 24. Preparation and Characterization of Glow Disharge Modifies Titanium Surfaces

    Author : Björn-Owe Aronsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Titanium; surface modification; surface properties; plasma techniques; oxidation; surface spectroscopy; TiO2; biomaterials;

    Abstract : The main theme of the present thesis is controlled preparation and characterization of oxidized titanium surfaces. Such surfaces are of general technological interest. READ MORE

  7. 25. Effect of surface characteristics on cellular adherence and activity

    Author : Marjan Dorkhan; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteria; microbial biofilm; dental implant; streptococci; oral bacteria; salivary pellicle; early colonizers; titanium oxide; microbial activity; oral keratinocytes; gingival fibroblasts; cell attachment; surface modification; anodic oxidation; anatase;

    Abstract : Ersättning av förlorade tänder med tandimplantat är numera en vanlig behandlingsmetod med generellt goda resultat. Antalet implantatsystem på den internationella marknaden har ökat kraftigt under senare år. READ MORE
