Background: The present study investigates onlay bone grafts and implants in a large-animal (sheep) model to determine whether there are composite biomaterials that can maximize long-term facial augmentation when compared with conventional bone grafts.
Methods: Facial augmentation was performed in 10 adult sheep. First, 16.8 x 5-mm disks were prepared from autogenous calvarial bone, hydroxyapatite ceramic, ceramic composite of 60 percent hydroxyapatite and 40 percent beta-tricalcium phosphate (60 percent hydroxyapatite ceramic), and hydroxyapatite cement paste. Facial recipient sites were the body of the mandible (depository), the maxillary region (resorptive), and the frontal bone (depository). The volume of all bone grafts and implants was determined using computed tomographic scans, and the amount of bone formation was measured by means of backscatter electron microscopy 1 year postimplantation.
Results: Cranial bone graft demonstrated a highly significant reduction in volume in all sites studied. Other than a slight decrease in volume of hydroxyapatite cement paste disks applied to the maxillary region, there was no significant change in volume of the biomaterials implanted in any of the remaining recipient sites. Bone replacement was greatest in hydroxyapatite ceramic (23.9 percent) followed by 60 percent hydroxyapatite ceramic (16.4 percent) and least with hydroxyapatite cement paste (4.2 percent). Minimal differences in bone replacement were noted between recipient sites.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the volume maintenance of onlay hydroxyapatite composites is highly predictable, whereas that of cranial bone graft is unpredictable. Minimal differences were seen in bone replacement within biomaterials between "depository" and "resorptive" facial recipient sites. Ceramic forms of onlay hydroxyapatite implants demonstrated significantly greater bone replacement than did the cement paste forms of hydroxyapatite.

Clinically, infectious bone defects represent a significant threat, leading to osteonecrosis, severely compromising patient prognosis, and prolonging hospital stays. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a bone graft substitute that combines broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy and bone-inductive properties, providing an effective treatment option for infectious bone defects. In this study, the precision of digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology was utilized to construct a scaffold, incorporating zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) modified barium titanate (BT) with hydroxyapatite (HA), resulting in a piezoelectric ceramic scaffold designed for the repair of infected bone defects.

An overview of various industrial and bio-applications of unavoidable bio-waste materials reported in the literature over the last 25 years is presented in this review. Calcium-based food wastes or "unavoidable bio-wastes" are hybrid bio-composite materials, consisting of a softer organic matrix surrounding a stiff mineralized ceramic phase. A wide range of different bio-wastes that are already in use or are investigated for multipurpose applications are presented.

Background: Ceramic endosseous implant coatings have gained esteem due to their favorable osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. However, such a layer may be prone to failure under in vivo conditions, which necessitates its modification.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to modify an electrodeposited hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on titanium (Ti) with ultrashort-pulsed lasers for the incorporation of the ceramic into the sample surface and the texturing of the metal surface.

Waste generation from fish processing sectors has become a significant environmental concern. This issue is exacerbated in countries with high aquaculture production and inefficient fish scale (FS) utilization. This study prepared and compared highly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) from the FS of an anadromous fish, (I-HAp), and a freshwater fish, (R-HAp).
