Despite the excellent aesthetic outcome obtained using the in-office dental bleaching therapy, which uses gels with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), this professional treatment may cause irreversible pulp damage and tooth sensitivity. Thus, new dental bleaching protocols based on the use of gels with low concentrations of H2O2 or shortened periods of gels application on en…
The development of biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds based on biotechnology and tissue engineering concepts is the goal of pulp-dentin complex regeneration. These biomaterials should be able to induce the chemotaxis of resident stem cells to the pulp exposure site, followed by odontoblastic differentiation and deposition of mineralized extracellular matrix. For this specific clinical …
This research project has the challenging purpose of developing innovative tooth bleaching products capable to associate both esthetic and biologic parameters. The optimization of hydroxyl radicals (HO*) generation from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at low concentrations will be the principle of these products in order to increase the reactivity with tooth structure. Consequently, the diffusio…

The objective of this study will be to develop an innovative polymeric primer (PP) containing different concentrations of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) catalyst, which can be used for in-office dental bleaching, aiming to increase aesthetic efficacy, prevent morphological changes in dental enamel and to reduce the cytotoxicity of the therapy. For this, enamel/dentin discs will be stained …

Modifications on implant surface aims to obtain a bioactive substrate capable of improving the interaction between implants and oral tissues specially in challenging and difficult osseointegration conditions. One of the most common surface modification method actually used is the chemical/thermic treatments, which produces a porous bioactive layer on Titanium (Ti) surface allowing the dir…
Chemical and enzymatic catalytic agents act directly on the degradation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), increasing the aesthetic efficacy and reducing the cytotoxicity caused by the conventional in-office dental bleaching widely employed. Thus, the objective of the present study is to assess the influence of an experimental polymeric catalytic primer (PCP) containing 10 mg/mL of manganese ox…
The photocatalysis as well as the chemical catalysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) present in bleaching gels composition may improve the aesthetic outcome and reduce the cytotoxicity caused by the conventional in-office bleaching therapy. Thus, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the influence of the application on the enamel, of a protective tape (FP) associated with a polyme…
The choice of a biocompatible luting agent is critical to the clinical success of indirect restorations. Thus, in order to validate the use of these materials so that they do not cause damage to the pulp-dentin complex, the first step is to analyze their cytotoxicity in vitro. In order to mimic the clinical conditions, the use of a set called the artificial pulp chamber (APC) has been sho…

The main objective of this study is to extract chitosan from the crabs shells to develop a mineral-coated porous chitosan scaffold, which will be assessed using a tri-dimensional (3D) cell culture model concerning its bioactive potential for pulp-dentin complex regeneration. Initially, chitosan will be extracted from crabs shells and then different formulations of porous chitosan scaffold…
The attachment of the oral mucosa to the surface of abutments of dental implants prevents undesired apical migration of the junctional epithelium and reabsorption of the bone crest. The surface modification of implants and their prosthetic components (abutments) can favor cell adhesion improving the aesthetic and functional conditions of the prosthetic rehabilitation. The objective of thi…
Synthetic biomaterials used as bone substitutes should allow an appropriate bone remodeling with a progressive resorption induced by osteoclasts, followed by bone formation and maturation induced by osteoblasts. Previous in vitro studies demonstrated that changes in the surface topography of beta tricalcium phosphate (bTCP) could influence differentiation and survival of osteoclasts and r…
