Conclusions Hydride implementation on TiZr machined surfaces may be used as new dental implant material for improved soft tissue integration. Clinical significan Enhancing dental implant surfaces’ bioactivity by hydride implementation may promote soft tissue attachment and sealing around the implant and reduce peri-implantitis related to ECM-destruction compared with conventional machined surfaces.

Effect of root morphology on biomechanical behaviour of premolars associated with abfraction lesions and different loading types
Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical behaviour of maxillary premolar teeth regarding root morphology and abfraction depth, submitted to axial and oblique occlusal load. The investigation was conducted using 3D finite element analysis and strain gauge test. Sound maxillary premolar single and double root were selected for 3D model generation. The teeth were scanned for external morphology data acquisition. The 3D geometry was stored in *.STL and exported to Bio?CAD software (Rhinoceros?3D) to model generation. Mesh generation, mechanical properties and boundary conditions were performed in finite element software (Femap, Noran Engineering, USA). Twelve models were generated: sound tooth, 1·25 and 2·5 mm abfraction teeth. 100N compressive static load was …

Expression of sarcoplasmic?endoplasmic reticulum Ca?ATPase isoforms in masticatory muscles
The aim of this study was to characterize the sarcoplasmic?endoplasmic reticulum Ca?ATPase (SERCA) isoforms in rabbit masticatory muscles compared with those in fast?twitch muscle. It was hypothesized that combined expression of the SERCA isoforms in fast? and slow?twitch muscles accounts for lower Ca?ATPase activity. SERCA was isolated by differential centrifugation, the isoforms were determined by ELISA, and the activity of each isoform was measured using a colorimetric method. Activity was tested for significance by anova, and the distribution of isoforms was assessed using the chi?square test (P < 0.05) and correlated to SERCA activity using Spearman’s rank correlation. SERCA1 was predominant (90.5%) in fast?twitch muscle, whereas a mixture of SERCA isoforms was fo…
