This study evaluates a bioactive titanium membrane with alkali treatment for stimulating apatite formation and promoting bone regeneration. The titanium thin membranes were either treated with NaOH (alkali-group) or untreated (control). Each sample were incubated in simulated body fluid. Subsequently, the composition of the surface calcium deposition, its weight increase ratio, and optical absorbance were evaluated. Then, the bone defect was trephined on the rats calvaria and covered with each sample membrane or no membrane, and the bone tissue area ratio (BTA) and bone membrane contact ratio (BMC) were evaluated. The spherical crystalline precipitates formed in both groups. In the alkali-group after 21 days, the precipitates matured, forming apatite-like precipitates. The alkali-group showed higher Ca and P contents and weight increase ratios than the control. The alkali-group exhibited a higher BMC than the control in the central area. Thus, this novel membrane has high apatite-forming and bone regeneration abilities.

Simultaneous bone and nerve regeneration is important in facilitating osseointegration. However, regeneration of neural elements is often overlooked when designing orthopedic implants. Since nerves are electroactive tissues that regulate bone formation via neuropeptide release, developing photoelectric coating material on implants is optimal for neural-stimulated osteoblast activation.

Tooth extraction is a common oral surgical procedure that often leads to delayed alveolar socket healing due to the complexity of the oral microenvironment, which can hinder the patient's aesthetic and functional recovery. Effective alveolar socket healing requires a multidisciplinary approach. Recent advancements in materials science and bioengineering have facilitated the development of innovative strategies, with hydrogels emerging as ideal restorative materials for alveolar socket repair due to their superior properties.

Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to address the challenges of bone fracture repair and regeneration. The application of external stimuli (mechanical and electrical) can drive specific cellular responses and osteogenic differentiation, leading to the development of more effective treatments. Piezoelectric materials modulate cellular proliferation and osteogenic differentiation under both static (without mechanical stimulation) and dynamic (with mechanical stimulation) conditions, activating distinct gene expression pathways.

Infected bone defects, caused by bacterial contamination following disease or injury, result in the partial loss or destruction of bone tissue. Traditional bone transplantation and other clinical approaches often fail to address the therapeutic complexities of these conditions effectively. In recent years, advanced biomaterials have attracted significant attention for their potential to enhance treatment outcomes.
