BACKGROUND Osteoconductive additives are used in resorbable interference screws for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to improve graft incorporation and mitigate adverse effects. There are no published studies that compare biological performances of bioresorbable and biocomposite screws without artifacts due to different follow-up times and intrinsic patient characteristics. PUR...

The osseointegration rate of implants is related to their composition and surface roughness. Implant roughness favors both bone anchoring and biomechanical stability. Osteoconductive calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coatings promote bone healing and apposition, leading to the rapid biological fixation of implants. It has been clearly shown in many publications that Ca-P coating accelerates bone formati...

Autograft is considered ideal for grafting procedures, providing osteoinductive growth factors, osteogenic cells, and an osteoconductive scaffold. Limitations, however, exist regarding donor site morbidity and graft availability. Although allograft provides an osteoconductive matrix with some osteoinductivity, its availability is limited. To achieve optimal bone graft properties, researchers ar...

Bone Regeneration In article 2201886 by Huaqiong Li and co-workers, human hair keratin is proposed as an organic binder for the simultaneous incorporation of bone's major inorganic component, hydroxyapatite, growth factor, recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP2), to enable both osteoconductive osteoinductive characteristics in creation scaffolds.

PURPOSE To evaluate the regenerative potential of a fully synthesized homogenous hydroxyapatite:β-tricalcium phosphate 60:40 alloplast material in sinus lift procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydroxyapatite:β-tricalcium phosphate was used for sinus floor augmentation. After 9 months, 12 biopsies were taken from 12 patients. Routine histologic processing was performed and specimens were analyz...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of accell connexus(®) on the quality and rate of healing in experimental defects of rabbit calvarium compared to bio-oss®.twelve 2.5-3.5 kg weighing new zealand white rabbits were used. three defects (3×6 mm) were created in the cranium of the animals subsequently filled with accell connexus(®), bio-oss® or served as controls. the animals w...
