Engineering graded tissue interfaces

Tissue Engineering in Dentistery

Introduction Perforation of maxillary sinus mucous membrane is of the most prevalent complication during open sinus lift surgery. Moreover, such complication can usually be managed by an absorbable membrane. As far as absorbable membranes are concerned, decellularized maxillary sinus mucous membranes, which is an extracellular matrix, can be used as a biologic scaffold and insulating membrane ...

Stabilizing electrode-host interfaces: a tissue engineering approach.

The stability of implanted electrodes is a significant problem affecting their long-term use in vivo. Problems include mechanical failure and inflammation at the implantation site. The engineering of bioactive electrode coatings has been investigated for its potential to promote in-growth of neural tissue and reduce sheer at the electrode-host interface. Preliminary results indicate that hydrog...

Tissue Engineering in Maxillary Bone Defects

BACKGROUND Restoration of craniofacial bone defects has been a concern for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. In this study, the healing effect of fibrin glue scaffold was compared with autologous bone graft in mandibular defects of rabbit. METHODS Bilateral unicortical osteotomy was performed in the diastema region of 10 male Dutch rabbits. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 equal group...
