Bone tissue engineering is an emerging biomedical form to create a local environment which enables cells to promote the proliferation and differentiation for bone regeneration inductions. An essential contribution to bone formation and regeneration is given by growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), vascul...

As long as bone repair and regeneration is considered as a complex clinical condition, the administration of more than one factor involved in fracture healing might be necessary. The effectiveness or not of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in association with other growth factors and with mesenchymal stem cells in bone regeneration for fracture healing and bone allograft integration is of gre...

Bone formation in small deposits following the loss of part of the mandible has often been reported in the literature, but reports of complete bone regeneration extending over the entire anterior mandible from angle to angle is rare. Even rarer, are reports on the behaviour of such new bone in terms of facial development, over a long term and the effect of load carrying on it. Presented here is...

The edentulism of the jaws and the periodontal disease represent conditions that frequently leads to disruption of the alveolar bone. The loss of the tooth and of its bone of support lead to the creation of crestal defects or situation of maxillary atrophy. The restoration of a functional condition involves the use of endosseous implants who require adequate bone volume, to deal with the mastic...

Aim: Assessment Of Bone Regeneration After Placement Immediate Implants Using Sticky And CGF Membrane. Materials Methods: The study was performed in a series of 10 patients aged 25- 40 years with hopeless prognosis tooth and needing immediate implant replacement. placement implants, the sites were augmented sticky bone membrane. regeneration assessed radiologicaly 3, 6 12 months. results record...

Majority of skeletal conditions generate or heal normally due to inherent capacity. However, compromised conditions such as induced by congenital or acquired diseases may sometimes lead to uncompleted development or regenerate. The quality and volume of bone is an important factor to be considered in orthopaedic and dental fields. We occasionally encounter difficult clinical cases because of in...

PURPOSE The carbon dioxide (CO2) laser has been shown to be suitable for the treatment of ailing implants. However, comparatively little is known about bone regeneration after laser treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the course of bone regeneration after peri-implant care with the CO2 laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 6 beagle dogs, a total of 60 implants and bony ...

A novel artificial bone substitute composed of bioactive MegaGen synthetic bone (MGSB) and hyaluronate (HA) hydrogels was successfully developed for bone tissue engineering applications. HA is known to play important roles in bone regeneration due to its angiogenic and osteoconductive characteristics. Accordingly, HA hydrogel was designed to supply HA continuously for effective bone regeneratio...

BACKGROUND/AIM Filling a bone defect with bone substitution materials is a therapy of choice, but the infiltration of connective tissue from the mucoperiostal flap may compromise a healing of bone substitutions with bony wall defects. Application of membrane as a barrier is indicated as a solution to this problem. The aim of this study was to show a pathohistological view of bone regeneration a...

Bone regeneration is a complex, well-orchestrated physiological process of bone formation, which can be seen during normal fracture healing, and is involved in continuous remodelling throughout adult life. However, there are complex clinical conditions in which bone regeneration is required in large quantity, such as for skeletal reconstruction of large bone defects created by trauma, infection...
