This study evaluated the biological performance in vitro of two 3D-printed hydroxyapatite (HA) and polylactic acid (PLA) composite scaffolds with two different infill densities (50% [HA-PLA50] and 70% [HA-PLA70]). Comparative analysis using MG-63 cel...

The development of osteogenic biomaterials relies on updates in research methodologies. Establishing reasonable modes is the basis for obtaining reliable experimental conclusions. With the advancement in bone immunology, osteoimmunomodulatory propert...

Functional fabrics embedded with active materials that can be released in a controlled manner upon external triggering have been explored for biomedical and cosmetic applications. This study introduces a method for the fabrication of nonwoven fabrics...

Introduction: Although significant advancements have been made in surgical techniques for reconstructing severely resorbed alveolar bone, achieving predictable regeneration remains a considerable challenge. Many conventional ridge augmentation method...

Aim: to evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of two alloplastic biomaterials in a critical-size rat calvarial defect model. Methods: A total of 80 rats were randomized into 8 groups of 10 animals each. An Ø8 mm, critical-size calvarial defe...

Osteosarcoma (OS), a prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, has maintained consistent treatment protocols since the 1970s combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. While effective for localized tumors, these stra...

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between a patient’s selection of implant treatment for a missing mandibular second molar and the magnitude of occlusal force, masticatory ability, mandibular morphology, and age...
