Osseous regenerate

The regeneration of osteochondral tissue necessitates the re-establishment of a gradient owing to the unique characteristics and healing potential of the chondral and osseous phases. As the self-healing capacity of hyaline cartilage is limited, timely mechanical support during neo-cartilage formation is crucial to achieving optimal repair efficacy. In this study, we devised a biodegradable bilayered scaffold, comprising chondroitin sulfate (CS) hydrogel to regenerate chondral tissue and a porous pure zinc (Zn) scaffold for regeneration of the underlying bone as mechanical support for the cartilage layer...

Limitations in the current clinical management of critical-sized osseous defects have driven the need for multifunctional bone constructs. The ideal bone scaffold should possess advanced microarchitecture, well-defined pore interconnectivity, and supply biological signals, which actively guide and control tissue regeneration while simultaneously preventing post-implantation complications. Here, a natural medicine-based localized drug delivery from 3D printed scaffold is presented, which offers controlled release of curcumin, piperine from nano-sized polymeric micelles, and burst release of antibacterial carvacrol from the coating endowing the scaffold with their distinct, individual biological properties...

BACKGROUND: The regeneration of lost/damaged support tissue in the periodontium, including the alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum, is an ambitious purpose of periodontal regenerative therapy and might effectively reduce periodontitis-caused tooth loss. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a technique currently used in dentistry for periodontal surgery, which allows osseous regeneration prior to soft tissue migration into the area of interest. Calcium phosphate-based bone grafts (mostly Tricalcium Phosphate or Hydroxyapatite) are bio ceramics that show the greatest similarity to the mineral found in the bone...

BACKGROUND: Periapical surgery is a complex dental procedure that remains a considerable challenge in clinical practice. The use of APRF+ membranes and piezoelectric osteotomy help to improve outcomes and increase the efficiency and speed of recovery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This case report describes a 20 years-old man with a periapical lesion which perforated the lingual cortex in a lower mandibular molar. A periapical surgery was performed with endoscope magnification and ultrasonic osteotomy...

Cochlear hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system. These cells are located in the organ of Corti, the sensory organ responsible for hearing, within the osseous labyrinth of the inner ear. Cochlear hair cells consist of two anatomically and functionally distinct types: outer and inner hair cells. Damage to either of them results in hearing loss. Notably, as inner hair cells cannot regenerate, and damage to them is permanent. Hence, in vitro cultivation of primary hair cells is indispensable for investigating the protective or regenerative effects of cochlear hair cells...

BACKGROUND: The traditional treatment procedures which aimed at treating periodontal disease did not result in true periodontal regeneration. Unpredictability about osseous defect fill after periodontal flap surgery has stemmed in the research of a variety of regenerative materials. This randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare regenerative potential of Biostite® bone graft material with and without Paroguide® a bioresorbable membrane in the treatment of periodontal osseous defects...

INTRODUCTION: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN), a non-infectious, necrotic condition of the bone, occurs as a major complication of radiotherapy to the irradiated site. Simple irrigation of the involved bone to partial or complete resection of the involved bones is being employed in its conventional management. Osseous tissue engineering (OTE) provides a new strategy by regenerating bone cells along with biocompatible scaffolds and micromolecules to produce an engineered osseous tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, mandibular ORN following radiation secondary to oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was included...

Bone tissue engineering has attracted great interest in the last few years, as the frequency of tissue-damaging or degenerative diseases has increased exponentially. To obtain an ideal treatment solution, researchers have focused on the development of optimum biomaterials to be applied for the enhancement of bioactivity and the regeneration process, which are necessary to support the proper healing process of osseous tissues. In this regard, hydroxyapatite (HA) has been the most widely used material in the biomedical field due to its great biocompatibility and similarity with the native apatite from the human bone...

The osseous tissue can be classified as a nanocomposite that encompasses a complex interweaving of organic and inorganic matrices. This intricate amalgamation consists of a collagen component and a mineral phase that are intricately arranged to form elaborate and perforated configurations. Hydroxyapatite, whether synthesized artificially or obtained from natural sources, has garnered considerable attention as a composite material in the field of bone tissue engineering due to its striking resemblance to bone in terms of structure and characteristics...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to study the efficacy of simvastatin in bone regeneration following the local application in third molar extraction sockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a randomized controlled trial done on 50 patients involving 100 third molar teeth extraction sockets. The patients were randomly divided based on the placement of simvastatin. Extraction sockets which were treated with simvastatin were considered study sockets and without simvastatin were considered control sockets...

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique in preclinical and clinical studies due to its predictability. Its main purpose is to prevent the migration of soft tissue into the osseous wound space, while allowing osseous cells to migrate to the site. GBR is classified into two main categories: resorbable and non-resorbable membranes. Resorbable membranes do not require a second surgery but tend to have a short resorption period. Conversely, non-resorbable membranes maintain their mechanical strength and prevent collapse...

Osteomyelitis of the jaws presents a clinical challenge to conventional treatment, often requiring multiple surgical interventions resulting in significant deformity and presenting significant problems to satisfactory rehabilitation. While benign odontogenic cysts, such as the radicular cyst, are generally predictably treated, they can cause significant localized bone destruction and thus can present significant problems in satisfactory rehabilitation. In this case report, patients were treated combining conventionally appropriate surgical debridement and oral antibiotics with adjunctive plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)...

The key factors that are needed for bone regeneration to take place include cells (osteoprogenitor and immune-inflammatory cells), a scaffold (blood clot) that facilitates the deposition of the bone matrix, signaling molecules, blood supply, and mechanical stability. However, even when these principles are met, the overall amount of regenerated bone, its stability over time and the incidence of complications may significantly vary. This manuscript provides a critical review on the main local and systemic factors that may have an impact on bone regeneration, trying to focus, whenever possible, on bone regeneration simultaneous to implant placement to treat bone dehiscence/fenestration defects or for bone contouring...

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the retrospective study was to explore whether the use of a modified alveolar ridge preservation technique impacts osteogenesis on the distal surface of the second molar after mandibular third molar (M3) extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 54 patients were enrolled in this study and divided into three different groups, including modified alveolar ridge preservation (MARP) group, traditional tooth extraction (TRA) group, and classical guided bone regeneration (GBR) group...

UNLABELLED: A significant percentage of lesions of endodontic origin require surgical management due to the possible diagnosis of odontogenic cysts and tumors in the maxilla and mandible. Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that typically presents as a painless, slow-growing, and expansile lesion that appears as a well-demarcated lesion with a variable degree of internal calcification on radiography. Treatment results in a large osseous defect, utilization of a graft to fill the void accelerates healing and prevents complications that may result from failure to fill by the host response...

BACKGROUND: Alveolar mucosa could be a promising source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for regeneration therapeutics because it exhibits faster healing potential and can be easily collected with minimal periodontal disturbance. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of alveolar mucosal cell (AMC) spheroids for promoting extraction socket healing and calvarial osseous defect regeneration. METHODS: AMCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. Antigenic and MSC surface marker expressions and trilineage differentiation capability were assessed...

Due to the increasing prevalence of bone disorders among people especially in average age, the future of treatments for osseous abnormalities has been illuminated by scaffold-based bone tissue engineering. In this study, in vitro and in vivo properties of 58S bioactive glass-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (bare (B.SC), Zein-coated (C.SC), and Zein-coated containing Kaempferol (KC.SC)) were evaluated. This is a follow-up study on our previously published paper, where we synthesized 58S bioactive glass-based scaffolds coated with Kaempferol-loaded Zein biopolymer, and characterized from mostly engineering points of view to find the optimum composition...

Defects characterized as large osseous voids in bone, in certain circumstances, are difficult to treat, requiring extensive treatments which lead to an increased financial burden, pain, and prolonged hospital stays. Grafts exist to aid in bone tissue regeneration (BTR), among which ceramic-based grafts have become increasingly popular due to their biocompatibility and resorbability. BTR using bioceramic materials such as β-tricalcium phosphate has seen tremendous progress and has been extensively used in the fabrication of biomimetic scaffolds through the three-dimensional printing (3DP) workflow...

In this work, a titanium-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold was produced from two different sources (natural eggshell and laboratory-grade reagents) to compare the efficacy of natural and synthetic resources of HAp materials on new bone regeneration. This comparative study also reports the effect of Ti doping on the physical, mechanical, and in vitro as well as in vivo biological properties of the HAp scaffold. Pellets were prepared in the conventional powder metallurgy route, compacted, and sintered at 900 °C, showing sufficient porosity for bony ingrowth...

Current tendon/ligament reconstructions integrate via scar tissue rather than proper bone-tendon interface regeneration, which affects graft longevity, changes in bone tunnel size, and functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to develop a functional demineralized bone matrix (DBM) + fibrocartilage extracellular matrix (FCECM) composite scaffold, characterize its physicochemical properties, and evaluate its efficacy in repairing tendon-bone interface in a rabbit tendon reconstruction model...
