Purpose: Bone regeneration stimulated by two different shapes of interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapatite (IP-CHA) granules was evaluated in the mandibles of 3 beagle dogs.
Methods: Deferent shapes of IP-CHA were used, spherical (spherical shaped IP-CHA granules) and irregular shapes (irregularly shaped IP-CHA granules). Two bone sockets (3mm in diameter and 5mm in depth) were prepared in the right edentulous mandible of each animal where right premolars had been extracted and sites healed for 3 months. The two types of IP-CHA were filled into the sockets to stimulate bone regeneration. New bone formation was evaluated histologically at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after filling.
Results: At 4 weeks, little bone formation was apparent in any of the bony sockets. At 8 weeks, newly formed bone was detected between the granules but not in the pores. In contrast, at 12 weeks, bone formation was clearly observed not only between the granules but also inside the granule pores. Comparing the two sites at 8 and 12 weeks, more bone formation was detected in sites receiving irregularly shaped IP-CHA than in sites receiving spherical IP-CHA.
Conclusion: These results indicate that use of irregularly shaped IP-CHA may enhance bone regeneration. The results of this preliminary study suggest that irregularly shaped IP-CHA granules may have more possible usefulness than spherically shaped granules as a scaffold for bone regeneration.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic performance of allograft particulate bone and cortical bone blocks combined with xenograft under bovine pericardium membranes, for treating different degrees of labial bone defects in the aesthetic zone.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with bone defects were divided into two groups based on defect severity (Terheyden 1/4 and 2/4 groups). The Terheyden 1/4 group received granular bone grafts alone, while the Terheyden 2/4 group received cortical bone blocks combined with granular bone grafts.

Recently, 3-D porous architecture of the composites play a key role in cell proliferation, bone regeneration, and anticancer activities. The osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of β-TCP allow for the complete repair of numerous bone defects. Herein, β-TCP was synthesized by wet chemical precipitation route, and their 3-D porous composites with HBO and Cu nanoparticles were prepared by the solid-state reaction method with improved mechanical and biological performances.

Background And Objectives: Gingivitis and periodontitis are common periodontal diseases that can significantly harm overall oral health, affecting the teeth and their supporting tissues, along with the surrounding anatomical structures, and if left untreated, leading to the total destruction of the alveolar bone and the connective tissues, tooth loss, and other more serious systemic health issues. Numerous studies have shown that propolis can help reduce gum inflammation, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration, but with varying degrees of success reported. For this reason, this comprehensive systematic review aims at finding out the truth concerning the efficacy of propolis mouthwashes in treating gingivitis and periodontitis, as its main objective.

Fractures are common and serious skeletal injuries, and accelerating their healing while alleviating patient suffering remains a clinical challenge. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a widely distributed, calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding protein involved in bone remodeling. However, its role in chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral ossification remains unclear.
