NOTUM produced by osteoblasts is known to regulate cortical bone mass. Our new findings show that specifically derived DMP1-expressing osteocytes and late regulates mass not trabecular

The use of xenogenic cortical bone laminas in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) has been well described the literature over past decade. These biomaterials present a very low degree complications due to their nature (porcine or equine collagenated bone) and fact that when they become exposed, simply hydrolyze without major complications. One problems related first generation these was extreme rigi...

Various biological bone g rafts have been used for osteogenes i s , osteoconduction and even osteoinduction, but due to systemic influences and local factors, the outcome of successful incorporation of a bone graft has not been satisfactory. This study was therefore conducted on 15 clinically healthy adult dogs between 1 to 3 years of age weighing 20 to 30 kg to evaluate the effect of bo...

 longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. Control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. In this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum Von Mises stress in implant-abutment complex and ja...

Mechanobiology In article 2201830 by Lining Arnold Ju and co-workers, a 3D-rendered tibia bone, featuring an observation window located in its diaphysis region, reveals bone marrow that is abundant vasculature. During exercise, the central arteries transverse arterioles experience substantial surface stresses, which are then transferred from cortical to more pliable through process known as mec...

OBJECTIVES The success rate of dental implants depends on the type of bone at the implant site. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of the bone parameters at the implant-placement site on peri-implant bone strain distributions. STUDY DESIGN The morphologies and bone densities of seventy-five potential implant sites in the posterior mandible were measured using comp...

Using finite element method (FEM), this study sought to investigate how the thickness and Young's modulus of cortical bone influenced stress distribution in bone surrounding a dental implant. The finite element implant-bone model consisted of a titanium abutment, a titanium fixture, a gold alloy retaining screw, cancellous bone, and cortical bone. The results showed that von Mises equivalent st...
