In Vivo Biocompatibility and Interfacial Stability of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes and Nanofilled Resin Composites: A Bioanalytical Study of Polymer-Host Interactions Under Dynamic Loading

By Anjusha Divakar, Remmiya Mary Varghese, Gayathri Murugan, B. Kaviya, Sowjanya Gunukula, Taniya Maqsood

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 …

Influence of Polymeric Materials on Osseointegration and Stability of Dental Implants: An In-vivo Resonance Frequency Analysis

By Ajay Gaikwad, Saurabh Swamy, Shivsagar Tewary, Pronob Kumar Sanyal, Shubha Joshi, Abhijeet Kore

Abstract: Osseointegration, the successful integration of dental implants with surrounding bone tissue, is crucial for long-term implant stability. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) provides a valuable tool for assessing implant stability. This in-vivo study investigates the potential role of polymeric materials used in dental implants, such as surface coatings or membranes, in influencing osseointegration and RFA-measured stability. By analysing the impact of these polymers on factors like cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation …

Bioinspired Nanocomposite Bone Pins: Fabrication, Evaluation, and Suitability for Orthopedic Implant Applications

By Chandan A. Waghmare, Rajanikant M. Kurane, Santosh R. Patil, Atharva Ningannavar

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; …

Biopolymer-Based 3D Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Photothermal-Responsive Systems with Controlled Pt (IV) Prodrug Release

By Pasunuti Durga, C. Hazarathaiah Yadav, Darwin R S, Mahesh Kumar Thota

Abstract: Biopolymer-based composite scaffolds have attracted significant attention as multifunctional platforms at the intersection of polymer science, regenerative medicine, and cancer nanotherapy. In this study, a dual-functional scaffold was developed for simultaneous osteosarcoma treatment and bone regeneration using poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) reinforced with bioactive glass (BG) and integrated with a glutathione-responsive platinum (IV) prodrug system (PDA@Pt). To improve interfacial adhesion, photothermal conversion efficiency, and tumor-specific activation, the Pt (IV) prodrug …
