The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported. In vivo studies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titanium found earlier by in vitro testing. However, the observed combination of outstanding mechanical...

In this work, we report high biological performance of silicon substituted nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) prepared by immersion of calcium phosphate and sodium silicate as precursors in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) solution for 24, 36, 48 and 72 hrs at 37°C. Characterization and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders were performed by Fourier transform, infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powde...

Background and Aim: Several reports have been published on the successful application of various bone substitute materials (BSM). Appropriate physiologic and histologic characteristics and reactions of these materials against host cells are critically important. In this study, the biocompatibility of a new bone substitute material has been evaluated. Methods and Materials: In this experime...

the purpose of this paper was to review the commercially available periodontal dressings, their physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility and therapeutic effects. electronic search of scientific papers from 1956 to 2012 was carried out using pubmed, scopus and wiley interscience search engines using the searched terms periodontal dressing, periodontal pack. numerous in vitro and in viv...
