However, problems such as osteoporosis due to high elasticity of metals relative to bones, and local infections and systemic problems caused by releasing metallic ions have motivated research on replacing metallic screws with non metallic ones. In this study, the composite containing poly-l-lactic acid and bioactive glass fibers were considered for the design of the screw using ABAQUS software ...

the performance of asphaltic pavements during their service life is highly dependent on the mechanical properties of the asphaltic layers. therefore, in order to extend their service life, scientists and engineers are constantly trying to improve the mechanical properties of the asphaltic mixtures. one common method of improving the performance of asphaltic mixtures is using different types of ...

background: the greater surface of bioactive glass nanoparticles presents an incomparable and promising feature similar to the biological apatite. nanoparticles improve cellular adhesion, enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increase biomineralization for periodontal regeneration and dental implants. considering the fact that interaction between periodontal cells and bone g...

Electrospinning is a promising approach for the development of fibrous tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds suitable hard and soft tissues. Apart from physicomechanical properties, electrospun fibers are required to incorporate bioactive cues control cellular functions, including facilitating biomineralization osteogenic differentiation in case bone TE, as well vascularization, support successful ...

bioactive materials including glass and glass-ceramics are nowadays used as medical implants for orthopedic applications. in this study several samples of glass-ceramics have been prepared using both heat treatment and sol-gel processes. the structure and bioactivity of these samples based on their interaction with simulated body fluid (sbf) have been determined. in-vitor, using the raman spect...

objective: bioactive glass is often used as a filler material for repair of dental bone defects. in different studies osteogenic potential of this material was proved, but its dentinogenesis property is in doubt. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp responses of calcium hydroxide and bioactive glass placed directly on exposed pulp tissues. materials and methods: twent...

conclusions increasing the cu nanoparticles in bioactive glass samples leads to the release of cu2+, which has a positive effect on the antibacterial mechanism, as well as decreasing the cultured staphylococcus colonies found on the bioglasses. therefore, it seems that the nanocomposite/bioglass of cuo is a promising option for aerobic bacterial inhibitor systems in common bone implant infectio...
