The authors describe their early investigative results of using a mixture of hydroxyapatite (HA) and plaster of Paris (PP) in skull and frontal sinus defects in a large series of cats. Histologically, bone was found to form and infiltrate the HA-PP implant over a period of months, with gradual resorption of the plaster in 6-8 weeks. Clinically, the HA-PP combination has been used in 24 patients over the past seven years for various skull, zygomatic, and mandibular defects.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating and testing 3D printed dosimetry phantoms for brain cancer radiation therapy at the Australian synchrotron, using various materials like Polylactic acid (PLA+) and tricalcium phosphate.
- Different phantoms, including slab, preclinical rat, and anthropomorphic head models, were evaluated for their accuracy and effectiveness in measuring radiation doses.
- Results showed that PLA+ phantoms closely match water and bone equivalents in terms of radiation attenuation, making them reliable tools for quality assurance in synchrotron dosimetry.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) phantoms have been proposed as an alternative to plaster of Paris (poP) phantoms for the calibration of x-ray fluorescence-based systems for thequantification of bone lead and strontium which employ a coherent normalization procedure. The chemical composition of the material becomes critical in the calculation, or omission, of the coherent correction factor (CCF) required in this normalization procedure. This study evaluated the long-term chemical stability of HAp phantoms.

The current work presents a novel plaster mold casting (PMC) process for fabricating functionally graded biodegradable materials (FGBMs) for orthopedics applications. According to the proposed route, the plaster molds were first prepared by using a hybrid and variable mixture of Plaster of Paris (PoP) and hydroxyapatite (HAP). Upon drying, molten magnesium (Mg) alloy was poured in the mold cavity and allowed to solidify.

To clinically, histologically and radiologically evaluate the effects of early intervention on fresh extraction sockets, 30 patients were selected and assigned evenly into group A (blood clot) and group B (coralline hydroxyapatite). All participants underwent clinical examination. Oral plaster casts and panoramic radiographs were undertaken before tooth extraction and at 3-4 months after socket grafting.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of F-u-HA/PLLA screws in the treatment of lateral tibial condylar fractures. From January 2005 to December 2010, a total of 7 patients with displaced closed lateral tibial condylar fractures (Schatzker type II) were treated using F-u-HA/PLLA screws.
