Question: Is it possible to stimulate osteoconduction and osteogenesis to improve bone formation in critical-size defects in order to avoid bone grafting?
Material And Methods: Full thickness, critical-sized defects were created in the anterior mandible of 16 adult mini-pigs. The defects were filled with a new bioactive matrix (60% hydroxyapatite and 40% beta-tricalciumphosphate), produced by an innovative low temperature sol-gel-process (120 degrees C). The biomatrix was tested alone and in combination with cultured autologous osteoblasts. In a control group, periosteum was the only bone producing source. Five weeks postoperatively, the animals were sacrificed and the defects analysed macroscopically, histologically and radiographically.
Results: The highest rate of new bone formation was in the biomatrix group without osteoblasts (73% of the former defect). The biomatrix was degraded at the same speed as new bone was laid down. In the control group, bone formation of only 59% was observed. Additional transplantation of autologous osteoblasts in combination with the biomatrix did not result in more bone production than in the control group(!).
Conclusion: This new bioactive calciumphosphate matrix seems to be a promising bone replacement material.

Background: For patients with osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears, there is still no consensus on current treatment methods. The material, structure, and number of anchors have important effects on the repair outcome.
Purpose: To investigate the use of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-coated nickel-titanium memory alloy (NTMA) anchors to treat rotator cuff injury in shoulders with osteoporosis in a rabbit osteoporosis model.

Due to the chemical composition and structure of the target tissue, autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard for orthopedic applications worldwide. However, ongoing advancements in alternative grafting materials show that 3D-printed synthetic biomaterials offer many advantages. For instance, they provide high availability, have low clinical limitations, and can be designed with a chemical composition and structure comparable to the target tissue.

Background/objectives: Despite the increased use of new resorbable magnesium membranes, there are no reported cases or studies on the use of resorbable magnesium membranes in combination with bone grafts for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in cases with severe buccal bone wall dehiscence. This case report aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the magnesium membrane shield technique in conjunction with bone grafting for ARP, assessing both clinical outcomes and histological bone regeneration.
Methods: A 44-year-old female patient presented with a vertical fracture on tooth 24 (FDI Notation System) accompanied with complete destruction of the buccal bone wall.

Background: The repair of bone defects has always been a significant challenge in clinical medicine. To address this challenge, doctors often utilize autologous bone grafts, allogeneic bone grafts and artificial bone substitutes. However, the former two methods may result in additional trauma and complications, while allogeneic bone grafts carry the risks of immune rejection and disease transmission.

Bioactive glass (BAG) has emerged as an effective bone graft substitute due to its diverse qualities of biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoblast adhesion and enhanced revascularization. However, inferior osteogenic capacity of BAG compared to autologous bone grafts continues to limiting it's wide-spread clinical applications towards repairing of bone fractures and healing. In this study, we have fabricated BAG composites with 0.
