Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze histologically the influence of bioactive glass (BG) with or without a calcium sulfate (CS) barrier on bone healing in surgically created critical-size defects (CSD) in rat calvaria.

Material And Methods: A CSD was made in each calvarium of 48 rats. They were divided into three groups: C (control): blood clot only; BG: defect filled with BG; and BG/CS: defect filled with BG covered by a CS barrier. Animals were euthanized at 4 or 12 weeks. Formation of new bone was evaluated histomorphometrically.

Results: No defect completely regenerated with bone. BG particles were observed in Groups BG and BG/CS at both periods of analysis. The thickness throughout the healing area in Groups BG and BG/CS was similar to the original calvarium, while Group C presented a thin connective tissue in the center of the defect in both periods of analysis. At 4 weeks, Groups C and BG/CS presented significantly more bone formation than Group BG. No significant differences were found between Groups C and BG/CS. At 12 weeks, no significant differences in the amount of bone formation were observed among the three groups. When comparing 4 and 12 weeks, there was a significant increase in new bone formation within groups BG and BG/CS, but not C.

Conclusion: BG particles, used with or without a CS barrier, maintained the volume and contour of the area grafted in CSD. However, they did not lead to a significant difference in bone formation when compared with control at 12 weeks post-operative.

Introduction: This study's objective was to assess and compare postoperative pain response between bioceramic sealer (Nishika BG) and epoxy resin based (AH Plus) in patients with primary endodontic lesion at time interval of 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Materials And Methods: The study included 40 individuals with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. Calcium hydroxide was administered as the intracanal medication during the two-visit endodontic therapy.

Objective: To investigate the factors influencing enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) characteristics at the onset of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and whether the PVS characteristics can predict later post-stroke epilepsy (PSE).

Methods: A total of 312 patients with AIS were identified, of whom 58/312 (18.6%) developed PSE.

Preparation of a novel bone wax with modified tricalcium silicate cement and BGs.

Amino-grafted and vaterite-contained tricalcium silicate cement (A-V-CS) was composited with 58S bioglass/chitosan/carboxy methyl cellulose (BG/CS/CMC, referred as BGs) to surmount the non-absorbability and infection problems of traditional bone wax. Its material, bioactive, biocompatible and antibacterial properties were systematically characterized. The results revealed that A-V-CS/BGs possessed self-setting, injectable, mechanical and degradable abilities.

Novel bone wax based on tricalcium silicate cement and BGs mixtures.

Classic bone wax is effectively hemostatic and low-cost, but it has shortcomings like infection and nonabsorbability. A novel self-curing bone wax was developed by mixing tricalcium silicate (CS) cement and 58S bioactive glass/chitosan/carboxy methyl cellulose (BG/CS/CMC, referred to as BGs) to overcome these problems. It was found that the addition of BGs improved anti-washout and operational properties of CS, and CS had good self-curing and mechanical behavior.
