This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) between monolithic zirconia (MZ) and different core build-up materials. Sixty cylindrical MZ specimens were fabricated and divided into three groups (n = 20) based on the...

Bacterial contamination and the escalating crisis of antibiotic resistance represent pressing global public health threats, with approximately 4.95 million deaths linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2019 and projections estimating up to 10 mi...

Background: Class II malocclusion is one of the most common and challenging orthodontic problems, often requiring complex, lengthy treatment and sometimes involving extractions or surgery. While conventional fixed appliances have been the gold standa...

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, requiring the development of innovative and effective therapeutic strategies. Bio-functional nanomaterials, due to their unique physicochemical properties, offer a versatile p...

Since the turn of the century, we have witnessed an extremely intensive development of biotechnology and nanotechnology, which, in terms of intensity can only be compared to the development of information technology and the resulting emergence of art...

The reconstruction of segmental bone defects requires patient-specific scaffolds that combine mechanical safety, biological functionality, and rapid manufacturing. We converted CT-derived mandibular geometry into a functionally graded Ti-6Al-4V latti...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a cutting-edge technology for fabricating biomimetic scaffolds with controllable architectures and compositional diversity, showing great promise in the fields of bone tissue engineering (BTE) and regenerati...

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is widely used for long bone fractures. Traditional systems are reliable, but they present some complications regarding lack of modularity or possible growth plate damage. Methods: A novel locking rod–screw...

Biocompatibility evaluation of medical devices is essential for ensuring safety, with ISO 10993 series being the standard. However, these tests can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. This study assessed the early-stage biocompatibility of a co...

The development of high-performance sensing materials is critical for advancing bioelectronics. Conductive hydrogels, with their unique flexibility, are promising candidates for biomedical sensors. However, traditional conductive hydrogels often suff...
