Fabrication of strontium ions substituted hydroxyapatite from the shells of the golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculate L) with enhanced osteoconductive and improved biological properties.

The use of biogenic calcium ions for the source of hydroxyapatite (HAp or HA) are very common and have been being explored extensively. However, it usually results high crystalline HA, due to high reaction and decomposition temperatures. In this study, strontium (Sr) doped HA from the golden apple snail shells (Pomacea canaliculate L) was successfully synthesized.

Fibrous PVA Matrix Containing Strontium-Substituted Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles from Golden Apple Snail ( L.) Shells for Bone Tissue Engineering.

A scaffold that replicates the physicochemical composition of bone at the nanoscale level is a promising replacement for conventional bone grafts such as autograft, allograft, or xenograft. However, its creation is still a major challenge in bone tissue engineering. The fabrication of a fibrous PVA-HA/Sr matrix made of strontium (Sr)-substituted hydroxyapatite from the shell of L.

Surface Modifications of High-Performance Polymer Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to Improve Its Biological Performance in Dentistry.

This comprehensive review focuses on polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a synthetic thermoplastic polymer, for applications in dentistry. As a high-performance polymer, PEEK is intrinsically robust yet biocompatible, making it an ideal substitute for titanium-the current gold standard in dentistry. PEEK, however, is also inert due to its low surface energy and brings challenges when employed in dentistry.

How Navigate the Map: The Effect of Surface Topography on the Adhesion of on Biomaterials.

The main purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of how responds to subperiosteal implant surface topography. A literature review was drawn from various electronic databases from 2000 to 2021. The two main keywords used were "" and "Surface Topography".

Dental pulp stem cells response on the nanotopography of scaffold to regenerate dentin-pulp complex tissue.

The study of regenerative dentistry receives a fast growing interest. The potential ability of the dentin-pulp complex to regenerate is both promising and perplexing. To answer the challenging nature of the dental environment, scientists have developed various combinations of biomaterial scaffolds, stem cells, and incorporation of several growth factors.

Current Insight of Collagen Biomatrix for Gingival Recession: An Evidence-Based Systematic Review.

Collagen (Col) is a naturally available material and is widely used in the tissue engineering and medical field owing to its high biocompatibility and malleability. Promising results on the use of Col were observed in the periodontal application and many attempts have been carried out to inculcate Col for gingival recession (GR). Col is found to be an excellent provisional bioscaffold for the current treatment in GR.

Gelatin hydrogel membrane containing carbonate hydroxyapatite for nerve regeneration scaffold.

A scaffold that mimics physicochemical structure of nerve and supplies calcium ions in axonal environment is an attractive alternative for nerve regeneration, especially when applied in critical nerve defect. Various scaffold material, design, including their combination with several growth-induced substances and cells application have been being investigated and used in the area of nerve tissue engineering. However, the development remains challenges today because they are still far from ideal concerning their stability, reproducibility, including complicated handling related to the poor mechanical strength.

Bioceramics for Clinical Application in Regenerative Dentistry.

Bioceramics represent functional ceramics with significant interest in regenerative medicine area. In orthopedics as well as in oral and maxillofacial surgery, bioceramics have been widely used as bone reconstructive materials. The most common one is hydroxyapatite which have been in the market and clinical applications since the mid of 1970s.
