Article Synopsis
- This study explored the biocompatibility, osteogenic potential, and antibacterial properties of magnesium alloy biomedical devices created through the Superplastic Forming (SPF) process and treated with Hydrothermal (HT) and Sol-Gel methods.
- Both treatment types showed high biocompatibility, with the cellular analysis revealing increased expression of osteogenic genes and reduced bacterial growth when in contact with the magnesium-treated devices compared to controls.
- The results suggest that these modified magnesium alloys could improve temporary devices used in maxillary reconstruction, potentially reducing the need for additional surgeries and lowering the risk of implant failures from bacterial infections.
A wide range of materials has been considered to repair cranial defects. In the field of cranioplasty, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based bone cements and modifications through the inclusion of copper doped tricalcium phosphate (Cu-TCP) particles have been already investigated. On the other hand, aliphatic polyesters such as poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLA) have been frequently investigated to make scaffolds for cranial bone regeneration.
