Review of Hydroxyapatite Coating: Enhances Bioactivity and Osteoconductivity in Natural Hard Tissues
Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAP) of biologically (produced from coral, cattle, or marine algae) or synthetic origin is used to repair and regenerate bone in the form of granules, blocks, and scaffolds, either alone or in a composite with polymers or other ceramics, or as a coating on dental or orthopedics implants. From the perspective of enhancing bioactivity, numerous methods for surface alteration and its combinations have been suggested. The composite …

Bone Grafting in Dentistry: From Biological Principles to Contemporary Regenerative Applications
Abstract: Bone grafting plays a pivotal role in contemporary regenerative dentistry by enabling predictable reconstruction of alveolar bone defects resulting from periodontal disease, tooth extraction, trauma, or pathology. Adequate bone volume and quality are essential prerequisites for successful implant placement, periodontal regeneration, and long-term functional and esthetic outcomes. Bone graft materials act as biological or synthetic scaffolds that facilitate new bone formation through the primary mechanisms of osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and …

Bioinspired Nanocomposite Bone Pins: Fabrication, Evaluation, and Suitability for Orthopedic Implant Applications
Abstract: Bone tissue engineering (BTE) requires scaffolds that mimic bone’s mineral–organic composition, offering mechanical strength, bioactivity, and degradation rates compatible with regeneration. Conventional metallic implants face corrosion and toxic ion release risks, while ceramics like hydroxyapatite (HAp) are bioactive but brittle. This study reports a multifunctional hybrid scaffold combining HAp for osteoconductivity; polycaprolactone (PCL) and collagen for flexibility and biocompatibility with sodium citrate for nanoparticle dispersion, ferrocene (Fc) for catalytic bioactivity; …

Valorization of Human and Cattle Dental Waste into Functional Composite Biomaterials: A Detailed Comparative Analysis
Abstract: This study investigates the conversion of human and cattle (goat and cow) teeth into bioactive hydroxyapatite-based composites and presents a detailed comparative evaluation of these biogenic materials with laboratory-synthesised (synthetic) hydroxyapatite (HAp). In this work, hydroxyapatite was extracted from human and bovine teeth through controlled calcination and milling, while synthetic HAp was prepared using a standard wet chemical precipitation route. All materials were subsequently sintered at 900 °C and fabricated …

The Implant-Bone Interface: Biologic and Biomechanical Perspectives
Abstract: Tissue integration at the interface of healed functioning dental implants occurs in three possible modes. Before examining mainstream step-by-step treatment, it is important to know what these three modes are, and how they differ. The practitioner determines and controls the mode of tissue integration. This article carefully examines the physiology, biomechanics, and clinical considerations associated with each of the three modes of tissue integration. Keywords: Osseointegration, Osteopreservation, Osteoconduction, Distance Osteogenesis, …

Comparative Evaluation of Autologous T-PRF Versus L-PRF Along with Freeze-dried Bone Allograft in the Management of Intra-bony Osseous Defect—A Report of Two Cases
Abstract: Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease, characterized by formation of osseous deformities. Periodontal bone loss that presents with a vertical defect, is also known as an intra-bony defect. Different types of bone grafts may be employed to restore the compromised attachment structure. Freeze-dried bone allograft is a type of allograft which is osteoconductive in nature and acts as a scaffold. Platelet concentrates are biological products, filled with growth factors leading …

Polymeric Composite Reinforcement Strategies for Load-Bearing Orthopedic Implants
Abstract: The increasing demand for orthopedic implants with enhanced characteristics that are durable, lightweight and compatible with the body’s response has led to the development of polymeric composites incorporating them for load-bearing applications. Commonly used metal implants cause stress shielding, corrosion and lack biological integration. The challenges of the aforementioned problems are overcome by polymeric composites by offering adjustable mechanical properties, radiolucency and the incorporation of bioactive elements. Advances in high-performance …
