Berberine inhibits Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion and biofilm formation on the surface of titanium alloy.

30 Oct 2009 Biofilm formed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) is a common cause of periprosthetic infection. Recently, we have discovered that berberine is bacteriostatic for S. epidermidis. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect ... Read more...

Low dose metal particles can induce monocyte/macrophage survival.

30 Oct 2009 Aseptic loosening results in pain, loss of function, and ultimately prosthetic joint failure and revision surgery. The generation of wear particles from the prosthesis is a major factor in local osteolysis. We investigated the effects of such wear ... Read more...

Cementum, pulp, periodontal ligament, and bone response after direct injury with orthodontic anchorage screws: a histomorphologic study in an animal model.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To assess the histologic response of the periodontium, cementum, and pulp after intentional root injury with titanium screws. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three female beagle dogs were used, and a total of 60 self-drilling/self-tapping miniscrews ... Read more...
