Detection of Osteogenesis in Explanted Synthetic Hydroxyapatite-Silicone Orbital Implants Using 3D X-Ray Microscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydroxyapatite orbital implants are widely used in the treatment of post-nucleation socket syndrome. The porous hydroxyapatite serves as a matrix for vascular tissue ingrowth. We investigate the degree of fibro-vascular tissue integration and the presence of osteogenesis within the porous hydroxyapatite part of the orbital implants. For comprehensive imaging, all implants were prepared using a grinding technique that allows light microscopy, backscattered electron imaging and 3D X-ray microscopy on undecalcified specimen.

PURPOSE To investigate microbiologic trends and role of biofilm on periorbital biomaterials surgically explanted for recalcitrant infection. METHODS A search of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine microbiology laboratory electronic database was conducted from 1980 to 2010. Culture results were analyzed from submitted periorbital biomaterials explante...
متن کاملHeat Treatment Of Cobalt-Base Alloy Surgical Implants With Hydroxyapatite-Bioglass For Surface Bioactivation
ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base alloy castings are widely used for manufacturing orthopedic implants. This alloy needs both homogenization and solutionizing heat treatment after casting, as well as bioactivation of the surface to increase the ability of tissue bonding. In this study, ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base substrate was heat treated at 1220°C for 1 hour in contact with Hydroxyapatite-Bioglass powder in or...
متن کاملOnlay silicone and hydroxyapatite-tricalciumphosphate composite (HAP-TCP) blocks interfere with nasal bone growth in rabbits.
We investigated how a new type of synthetic porous hydroxyapatite ceramic (HAP-TCP) acts when it is implanted in growing membranous bone. Seventy-six New Zealand White infant male rabbits (4-week-olds) were used. Rabbits received HAP-TCP block or silicone block implantation in their right nasal bone. The left nasal bone was used for a sham. Serial or cross-sectional examinations by morphometry,...

INTRODUCTION This study compares the outcome and complications of integrated hydroxyapatite implant and non-integrated orbital implants following enucleation in Asian patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of enucleated patients with coralline hydroxyapatite implants versus non-integrated implants (acrylic, glass and silicone) at the Singapore National Eye Centre from J...
متن کاملComparative Study of Bone Repair Using Porous Hydroxyapatite/ β-Tricalcium Phosphate and Xenograft Scaffold in Rabbits with Tibia Defect
Background: Bone tissue engineering requires materials that are biocompatible, mechanically suited for bone function, integrated with the host skeleton, and support osteoinduction of the implanted cells for new bone formation. The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic potential of xenograft with hydroxyapatite/β- tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) scaffold. Methods: New Zealand rabbits (...
