Design and Instrumentation of Implants for Force Sensing and Actuation (Ontwerp en instrumentatie van implantaten voor krachtmeting en actuatie) KU Leuven
De veranderende demografische samenstelling zet een grote druk op het zorgbeleid en een nieuwe kijk op de gezondheidszorg is daarom onontbeerlijk. Eén van de manieren om met hiermee om te gaan is e-health, of met andere woorden, elektronica als middel om de medische wereld een handje te helpen. In dit werk wordt de algemene ontwerpprocedure van een elektronisch bewaakt implantaat beschreven met nadrukken op sensorkeuze, signaalverwerking en ...
Ultrastructural characterization of the implant interface response to loading KU Leuven
Dynamic loading can affect the bone surrounding implants. For ultrastructural exploration of the peri-implant tissue response to dynamic loading, titanium implants were installed in rat tibiae, in which one implant was loaded while the contralateral served as the unloaded control. The loaded implants received stimulation either within 24 hrs after implantation (immediate loading) or after a 28-day healing period (delayed loading) for 4, 7, 14, ...
Effect of high-frequency loading and parathyroid hormone administration on peri-implant bone healing and osseointegration KU Leuven
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of low-magnitude, high-frequency (LMHF) loading, and anti-osteoporosis medications such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bisphosphonates on peri-implant bone healing in an osteoporosis model, and to assess their combined effects on these processes. Thirteen-week-old ovariectomized rats (n = 44) were divided into three groups: PTH, alendronate, and saline. After 3 weeks of drug administration, ...
Instant provisionalization of immediate single-tooth implants is essential to optimize esthetic treatment outcome Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The immediate single-tooth implant has become a viable treatment option. However, the impact of the restorative procedure on esthetics is currently unclear. The goal of this study was to compare the soft tissue outline at immediate implants following two restorative protocols: immediate connection of a temporary crown or submerged healing during which a removable partial denture is used.

Immediate single-tooth implants in the anterior maxilla: a 1-year case cohort study on hard and soft tissue response Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Abstract: Aim: The objective of the present study was to assess implant survival rate, hard and soft tissue response and aesthetic outcome 1 year after immediate placement and provisionalization of single-tooth implants in the pre-maxilla. All patients underwent the same strategy, that is mucoperiosteal flap elevation, immediate implant placement, insertion of a grafting material between the implant and the socket wall and the connection of a ...
pH-Triggered Controlled Release of Chlorhexidine Using Chitosan-Coated Titanium Silica Composite for Dental Infection Prevention KU Leuven
Peri-implantitis is a growing pathological concern for dental implants which aggravates the occurrence of revision surgeries. This increases the burden on both hospitals and the patients themselves. Research is now focused on the development of materials and accompanying implants designed to resist biofilm formation. To enhance this endeavor, a smart method of biofilm inhibition coupled with limiting toxicity to the host cells is crucial. ...
Selective Laser Melting of Biocompatible Metals for Rapid Manufacturing of Medical Parts (Selectief laser smelten van biocompatibele metalen voor de snelle vervaardiging van medische stukken) KU Leuven
Het hoofddoel van deze doctoraatsstudie is het onderzoeken van Selectief Laser Smelten (SLM) als potentiële techniek voor de snelle vervaardiging van medische stukken. SLM zou veel opportuniteiten kunnen bieden in het gebied van de genees- en tandheelkunde. Medische en dentale implantaten of prothesen zijn echter een veeleisende sector inzake vervaardiging. Ze voeren geavanceerde functies uit en moeten ontworpen en geproduceerd worden volgens de ...
Implant functionalization with mesoporous silica: A promising antibacterial strategy, but does such an implant osseointegrate? KU Leuven Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie
Objectives: New strategies for implant surface functionalization in the prevention of peri-implantitis while not compromising osseointegration are currently explored. The aim of this in vivo study was to assess the osseointegration of a titanium-silica composite implant, previously shown to enable controlled release of therapeutic concentrations of chlorhexidine, in the Göttingen mini-pig oral model. Material and methods: Three implant groups ...
Effectiveness of a 3D simulation tool to teach the designing of metal removable partial dentures: a mixed-method study KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Acquiring insights into the framework design of metal-based removable partial dentures (mRPD) is a current challenge in dental education. The aim of the present study was to explore the effectiveness of a novel 3D simulation tool to teach designing mRPD by investigating the learning gain and the acceptance and motivation towards the tool of dental students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 3D tool based on 74 clinical scenarios was ...
