Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the osteoconductivity and suitability of three biomaterials used as particulate fillers; S53P4 bioactive glass, allogeneic fresh frozen bone and coral-derived calcium carbonate.
Materials And Methods: Materials were implanted into drill-holes in the femoral condyles of adult rabbits. Follow-ups were performed at 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks. Host-response, osteoconductivity, bonding and filler-effect were evaluated by SEM, EDXA and histology and histomorphometry to evaluate.
Results: All three materials were found to be biocompatible and osteoconductive. Defects filled with allograft seemed to have more bone at 24 weeks, although no statistically significant difference in new bone growth was found. In earlier time points, coral, however, was observed to degrade more quickly, leaving more empty space in the defects, thus making it a less suitable filler for cavitary defects.
Conclusion: At all time points there was less filler material (i.e. biomaterial and new bone) in coral-filled defects than in BAG or allograft filled defects (p < 0.05).

Fissure sealants commonly exhibit weak mechanical and physical properties, potentially compromising their effectiveness in preventing dental caries. Therefore, this laboratory study aimed to synthesize and characterize experimental pit and fissure sealants in comparison with a commercially available sealant. Three different formulations of experimental pit and fissure sealing materials were synthesized using a blend of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) monomers.

In this study, S53P4 (53SiO-23NaO-20CaO-4PO) bioactive glass (BG) were prepared through a melt-milling process, and their bioresorption and biomineralization behavior was evaluated by in vitro dissolution under different solution conditions (neutral and acidic). The particle size of S53P4 BG was controlled by milling, and the in vitro dissolution evaluation was performed in tris buffer and citric acid solution for 21 days at 37 °C according to ISO 10993-14 (biological evaluation of medical devices). During dissolution, the ion release rate of S53P4 BG was confirmed to be three times faster in citric acid solution than that in tris buffer.

Case: A 41-year-old male presented with an insidious onset of pain and swelling about the dorsal wrist, and was found to have a Brodie's abscess in the distal radius. The patient had a history of a distal radius fracture, treated with external fixation, nineteen years prior, which we believe contributed to the infection. The patient was treated surgically with abscess irrigation, debridement, bony curettage, bioactive glass S53P4 allograft, with concurrent antibiotic therapy.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on dental hypersensitivity and explores the effectiveness of bioactive-glass-infused hydroxyethyl cellulose gels in sealing dental tubules to help alleviate this issue.
- Five different gels were tested, including a control, to measure various properties such as viscosity, pH level, and element release after two months of accelerated aging.
- Results showed that the gels released beneficial ions, raised pH levels conducive to enamel remineralization, and demonstrated varying viscosity and adhesion properties, indicating their potential for practical application in dental care.
