Severe loss of bone mass may require grafting, and, among the alternatives available, there are natural biomaterials that can act as scaffolds for the cell growth necessary for tissue regeneration. Collagen and elastin polymers are a good alternative due to their biomimetic properties of bone tissue, and their characteristics can be improved with the addition of polysaccharides such as chitosan and bioactive compounds such as jatoba resin and pomegranate extract due to their antigenic actions. The aim of this experimental protocol was to evaluate bone neoformation in experimentally made defects in the mandible of rats using polymeric scaffolds with plant extracts added.

- The spinous foramen (FS) is an opening in the skull that contains important vessels and nerves, playing a key role in neurosurgery and neuroimaging due to its anatomical significance.
- A study analyzed 30 human skulls to investigate the characteristics of the FS, noting variations in its shape and size, which can impact surgical practices.
- The findings emphasize that variations in FS morphology are common and should be taken into account by surgeons to minimize risks during medical procedures involving the skull base.
