This study developed highly porous degradable composites as potential scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. These scaffolds consisted of poly-D,L-lactic acid filled with 2 and 15 vol.% of 45S5 Bioglass particles and were produced via thermally induced solid-liquid phase separation and subsequent solvent sublimation. The scaffolds had a bimodal and anisotropic pore structure, with tubular macro...

in order to increase the life span of implants, coatings such as bioglass are applied on implants' surfaces to prevent their corrosion in biological fluids. in this research, 45s5 bioglass coatings were applied on 316l stainless steel substrate by sol- gel method and coating's properties were examined by different analyses. according to the xrd results, an amorphous compound containing na2ca2si...

Purpose: Innovative biomedical filaments for 3D printing in the form of short and biodegradable composite sticks modified with various additives were used to prepare biomaterials further nasal implants. As respiratory tract is considered be potentially exposed contamination during implantation procedure there a need modify implant an antibacterial additives. The purpose this work was analyze ef...

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of bioglass (BAG-S53P4) in the treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis and compare the results with calcium sulphate antibiotic beads in one medical centre. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 25 cases. INCLUSION CRITERIA patients diagnosed clinically and radiographically of osteomyelitis and treated surgically (Group 1: cavitary bone defects treated with...

statement of problem: bioglasses are a series of biocompatible dental materials, which are considered as light conducting inserts in resin composite restorations. consequently, their chemical stability is more essential when they are used in conjunction with resin composite. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the chemical stability of bioglass with dental porcelain an...

background: the greater surface of bioactive glass nanoparticles presents an incomparable and promising feature similar to the biological apatite. nanoparticles improve cellular adhesion, enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increase biomineralization for periodontal regeneration and dental implants. considering the fact that interaction between periodontal cells and bone g...

The effect of the ionic products of Bioglass 45S5 dissolution on the gene-expression profile of human osteoblasts was investigated by cDNA microarray analysis of 1,176 genes. Treatment with the ionic products of Bioglass 45S5 dissolution increased the levels of 60 transcripts twofold or more and reduced the levels of five transcripts to one-half or less than in control. Markedly up-regulated ge...

Scaffolds of PDLLA were produced to be implemented in maxilofacial surgeries inducing bone repair and regeneration. To prepare these scaffolds, bioglass (BG58S) was synthesized by sol-gel method, in order to be applied as osteoconductive dispersed particles in PDLLA matrix. Once presenting greater facility on parts fabrication, this polymeric matrix enables complex geometries production besides...
