Background: An electronically controlled mechanical tapping device (MTD) to measure implant stability has been studied extensively for its ability to measure initial stability at the time of surgical placement and predict an implant's survival prognosis, with few reported complications.
Methods: Initial stability data, measured repeatedly with a resonance frequency analysis device and the MTD, for seven of 28 implants placed in jawbones of four fresh human cadavers and the histologic images of bone-implant interfaces are presented as evidence for potential damage to the bone-implant interface using these techniques.
Results: A progressive increase in mobility from stable (-1) to less stable (4) and eventually to visibly mobile (999) was observed after three measurements with the MTD. Corresponding histologic images revealed that the buccal threads in the coronal half of the implants were displaced lingually and apically from the bony indentations that were created during insertion of the self-threading implants, subsequent to repeated MTD measurements in the buccal and axial directions. The histologic images and changes in MTD values indicated that repeated MTD measurements at the time of implant placement surgery may damage the bone-implant interface, and a stable or borderline implant may become mobile after repeated MTD measurements.
Conclusions: Histologic images showed potential damage to the bone-implant interface during repeated initial implant-stability measurements using the MTD. Initial implant-stability measurements using the MTD should be performed with caution, and they may be contraindicated for implants placed in low-quality bone.

The treatment and repair of bone tissue damage and loss due to infection, tumours, and trauma are major challenges in clinical practice. Artificial bone scaffolds offer a safer, simpler, and more feasible alternative to bone transplantation, serving to fill bone defects and promote bone tissue regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should possess osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osseointegrative properties.

Article Synopsis
- Articular cartilage damage is permanent and heals poorly, necessitating the need for effective tissue engineering solutions.
- This study explores a 3D printed scaffold made of collagen type II, silk fibroin, and hyaluronic acid (CSH) designed to support cartilage tissue development.
- Results indicate the scaffold has a well-connected porous structure, excellent water absorption, and favorable mechanical properties, showing high compatibility for chondrocyte growth, which is promising for cartilage regeneration.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) encounters challenges of rapid thermal loss and potential tissue damage. In response, we propose a Heat-Boost and Lock implant coating strategy inspired by the thermal adaptation of biological membranes, enabling precise local photothermal utilization. This coating incorporates a poly(tannic acid) (pTA) bridging layer on implants, facilitating stable layer-by-layer integration of a black phosphorus (BP) photothermal layer and a top cell membrane Heat-Boost and Lock layer.

With the accelerating trend of global aging, bone damage caused by orthopedic diseases, such as osteoporosis and fractures, has become a shared international event. Traffic accidents, high-altitude falls, and other incidents are increasing daily, and the demand for bone implant treatment is also growing. Although extensive research has been conducted in the past decade to develop medical implants for bone regeneration and healing of body tissues, due to their low biocompatibility, weak bone integration ability, and high postoperative infection rates, pure titanium alloys, such as Ti-6A1-4V and Ti-6A1-7Nb, although widely used in clinical practice, have poor induction of phosphate deposition and wear resistance, and Ti-Zr alloy exhibits a lack of mechanical stability and processing complexity.

Article Synopsis
- * This scaffold allows for controlled drug release, with faster release in acidic environments and prolonged release in neutral conditions, enhancing both antibacterial properties and bone healing.
- * Laboratory tests showed that the dual-drug scaffold achieved over 92% antibacterial efficiency in vitro and over 99% in vivo, significantly improving bone integration in infected areas compared to single-drug treatments.
