We present here-designed, manufactured, and tested by our research team-the Ti-alloy prototype of the multispiked connecting scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) interfacing the components of resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses with bone. The spikes of the MSC-Scaffold prototype mimic the interdigitations of the articular subchondral bone, which is the natural biostructure interfacing the articular...

Recent developments in 3D printing technology have been applied the field of tissue engineering to fabricate customized bone repair scaffolds. β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a bioceramic material with excellent potential as scaffold foundation. Doping metallic ions β-TCP will significantly enhance mechanical property and regeneration performance compared pure specimens. In this study, we pro...

Strontium- and calcium-releasing, titanium-stabilised phosphate-based glasses with a controlled degradation rate are currently under development for orthopaedic tissue engineering applications. Ca and/or Sr were incorporated at varying concentrations in quaternary phosphate-based glasses, in order to promote osteoinduction. Ti was incorporated at a fixed concentration in order to prolong degrad...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:2-8) Introduction: Auto-tooth bone graft material consists of 55% inorganic hydroxyapatite (HA) and 45% organic substances. Inorganic HA possesses properties of bone in terms of the combining and dissociating of calcium and phosphate. The organic substances include bone morphogenetic protein and proteins which have osteoinduction capacity, as well as ...
