Giacomo Fabbri: Preserve soft tissue for long term success
Dr. Fabbri discusses the importance of undisturbed soft tissue healing for a stable and long-term clinical success, with a special focus on the benefits of the "One Abutment - One Time" concept.
Evaluation of anodized surfaces for improved soft tissue integration
In this work the effect of surface anodization on soft tissue integration was evaluated by comparing anodized (Xeal™) and machined surface titanium discs as culture substrates for human gingival epithelial cells (HGEPp) and primary human gingival fibroblasts (HFIB-G). HFIB-G cells...
