To determine the association between nonextraction clear aligner therapy and the presence of alveolar bone defects, CBCT images from 29 adults were obtained before and immediately after therapy. From ...

The reconstruction of large bone segments is an important clinical problem, and none of the approaches proposed thus far have proved very effective. In animals, repair and functional recovery of ...

Bone defects are a major challenge in regenerative medicine, often requiring advanced biomaterials to enhance the natural healing process. Traditional bone repair methods, including bone grafts, face ...

Tohoku University scientists in Japan have made a scaffold that supports the growth of new bone in large jaw defects in mice. Their findings, published in the journal PNAS Nexus, bring scientists one ...

Two million bone transplants are performed worldwide yearly, including half a million in the United States alone. Yet, a QUT-led study has found surgeons are slow to adopt newly developed biomaterials ...

A handheld device can apply synthetic bone grafts directly at the site of a defect or injury without the need for prior imaging or fabrication. Researchers demonstrated the technology by modifying a ...

Researchers from Ocean University of China and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University have developed nacre-derived biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) composite scaffolds that combine osteogenic and ...
