“Influence of peri-implantitis defect angles on morphology and the biocompatibility of the implant surfaces after Er, Cr: YSGG laser therapy: an ex vivo study”
Abstract Purpose The key obstacles in peri-implantitis therapy are the decontamination of the previously infected implant surface, surface integrity preservation, and enhanced biocompatibility. All are essential events for positive re-osseointegration. The principal hypothesis is that diverse peri-implantitis defect angles may...

Topical nano-chitosan mitigates alendronate-induced lingual mucosal injury in rats: histological, immunohistochemical, molecular, and ultrastructural study
Abstract Background Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used antiresorptive agents for skeletal disorders; however, their adverse effects on oral soft tissues, particularly the lingual mucosa and gustatory apparatus, remain incompletely understood. Nano-chitosan has emerged as a promising biomaterial with cytoprotective and...
