Enhanced mechanical performance and bioactivity in strontium/copper co-substituted diopside scaffolds [PDF]
Effective scaffolds for bone tissue-engineering are those that combine adequate mechanical and chemical performance with osseointegrative, angiogenetic and anti-bacterial modes of bioactivity. To address these requirements via a combined approach, we additively manufactured square strut scaffolds by robocasting precipitation-derived strontium/copper co-

The current state of PEEK implant osseointegration and future perspectives: a systematic review [PDF]
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been considered as an alternative to replace surgical metal implants. Several medical applications, including dental and orthopaedic implants, need confirmed osseointegration before functional loading.

Modeling of Dental Implant Osseointegration Progress by Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method
As osseointegration is a time-dependent process, biomechanical assessment is thought to determine whether a fibrous encapsulation or a bone covering will develop around an implant, according to the stress in the implant and surrounding bone.

Local tissue effects and peri-implant bone healing induced by implant surface treatment: an in vivo study in the sheep [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess, through biological analysis, the local effects and osseointegration of dental implants incorporating surface micro/nanofeatures compared to implants of identical design without surface treatment. Background: Known to impact bone cell behavior, surface chemical and topography modifications target improved ...

Additive manufacturing and performance of bioceramic scaffolds with different hollow strut geometries [PDF]
Additively manufactured hollow strut bioceramic scaffolds present a promising strategy towards enhanced performance in patient-tailored bone tissue engineering. The channels in such scaffolds offer pathways for nutrient and cell transport and facilitate effective osseointegration and vascularization.

Bone construction surgery: A case report using recombinant human platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB
Abstract Background The position and condition of bone largely sets the stage for functional and esthetic implant success. In bone construction surgery, creating a sustainable functional matrix is complex, but necessary, to enable long‐term mechanotransduction and maintenance of soft tissue support.
