Abstract Three‐dimensional printed natural and synthetic biomaterials have evolved as gold standards for tissue engineering scaffolds in recent trends owing to their superior role hard regeneration. The major drawback of these is relatively poor mechanical strength. Another key consideration the design difficulty replicating complex structural composition tissues such bones, its structure cannot be reproduced with a single material that provides limited range properties. Sufficient strength...
The future of biomaterial design will rely on development bioresorbable implant materials that completely and safely degrade in vivo after the tissues grow, without generating harmful degradation products at targeted anatomic site. Permanent biomaterials such as Ti6Al4V alloy, 316L stainless steel, Co-based alloys currently used mandibular reconstruction often result stress shielding effects due to mismatch Young’s modulus values between bone implant, resulting loosening. Also, allergic...
Medical application materials must meet multiple requirements, and the designed material mimic structure, shape. support formation of replacing tissue. Magnesium (Mg) Zinc alloys (Zn), as a “smart” biodegradable “the green engineering in 21st century”, have become an outstanding implant due to their natural degradability, smart biocompatibility, desirable mechanical properties. are recognized next generation cardiovascular stents bioresorbable scaffolds. At same time, improving properties...
Abstract The present study investigates Mg-SiO 2 nanocomposites as biodegradable implants for orthopedic and maxillofacial applications. effect of presence progressive addition hollow silica nanoparticles (0.5, 1, 1.5) vol.% on the microstructural, mechanical, degradation, biocompatibility response pure Mg were investigated. Results suggest that increased resulted in a increase yield strength ultimate compressive with Mg-1.5 SiO exhibiting superior enhancement. under influence Hanks’...
Abstract Cytotoxicity of any biomedical material needs to be investigated for successful application within the human tissues. In this study, manganese in low amounts 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 (wt.%) was added Mg2Zn1Ca alloy using Disintegrated Melt Deposition (DMD) followed by hot extrusion extruded alloys were tested vitro cytocompatibility cell viability assays (CCK-8, LDH enzyme release assay, cytoskeleton morphology) osteogenic potential evaluated ALP, Alizarin Red RT-PCR assays. Addition...
The management of missing teeth as a result dental trauma or associated with hypodontia in children and adolescents presents clinical challenge for the team. One options that is regaining popularity autotransplantation. To improve autotransplantation outcomes, careful interdisciplinary planning, surgical simulation using cone beam computed tomography images three-dimensional-printed replicas should be undertaken presurgical preparation. This case report showcases two applications...
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the effectiveness of simulation training in improving confidence and competency oral maxillofacial surgery (OMS) residents performing orthognathic (OGS). Methods Kern's six‐step approach was applied when designing for OMS residents. The difficulties encountered by learning OGS were considered program. A course consisting didactic sessions, hands‐on on three‐dimensional models, an assessment tool implemented Improvement competence OGS, fidelity...
Background: Titanium has been used in osteosynthesis for decades and its compatibility safety is unquestioned. Studies have shown that there release collection of titanium the organ systems with little note toxicity. The gold standard considered to be plate produced by milling methods. use customized plates 3D printing, specifically direct metal laser sintering, found increasing recent years. It unknown how much released these printed implants, which known potentially porous, depending on...
