A craniofacial osseointegration and maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation unit in Edmonton, Canada was visited by the author as part of a higher specialist training programme. The unit has an international reputation as a centre of excellence for the treatment of patients with head and neck abnormalities. The report examines the activities of the unit and how it achieves its 'patient centred' approach to care.

Magnesium alloys are often used in bone repair surgeries due to their biodegradability and excellent elastic modulus, making them a promising alternative to traditional nondegradable implants like titanium alloys. However, their rapid degradation rate limits their use as implants in the body. To enhance the corrosion resistance and bioactivity of magnesium alloys, we applied an ultrasonic spray coating on microarc oxidized (MAO) AZ31 magnesium alloy, using a mixture of silk fibroin (SF) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp).

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently invades the jaw, and surgical treatment often leads to bone defects requiring reconstruction with titanium plates. To enhance the anti-tumor and bone regeneration properties of titanium, a selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coating was developed on titanium surfaces.
Methods: Selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coatings was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation (MAO).
