Mandible reconstruction following resection of gingival squamous cell carcinoma with peroneal artery perforator based fibular osteocutaneous free flap
Abstract: Reconstructing soft tissue defect resulting from resection of malignant tumor in face is crucial in esthetic and functional point of view. To address this condition, various surgical flaps are used, including the free vascularized osteocutaneous flap. In this case, we used a free fibular osteocutaneous flap to reconstruct both the bone (osseous) and soft tissue (mucosal) defects. These defects were caused by the removal (resection) of a lesion in a …

In Vivo Biocompatibility and Interfacial Stability of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes and Nanofilled Resin Composites: A Bioanalytical Study of Polymer-Host Interactions Under Dynamic Loading
Abstract: The widespread application of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) and nanofilled resin composites in biomedical devices requires rigorous assessment of their biocompatibility under mechanical stress. While nanofilled composites utilize filler particles (<100 nm) to enhance surface properties and wear resistance, the biological response to these materials in a hydrolytic, enzymatic environment remains a critical area of investigation. Objective: To analyze the in vivo bio-molecular response at the interface of TPU aligners and …
