Strategies for bone tissue regeneration have been continuously evolving for the last 25
years since the introduction of the “tissue engineering” concept. The convergence of the life …

In a large number of studies, it has been assumed that the in vitro apatite-forming ability
measured by simulated body fluid (SBF) test is a predictor of in vivo bioactivity. Several …

Increasing bone formation at endosseous titanium implants may be achieved by
modification of topographically enhanced surfaces. The aim of this study was to determine …

Osteoinductivity of hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated using uncommitted pluripotent
mouse stem cells, C3H10T1/2 in an in vitro differentiation assay. For comparative analysis …

The article presents advances in tissue regeneration and in dental implant materials. The
use of calcium phosphate materials in implantable devices is offered. It also offers the …

Future prospects for nanotechnology and biomaterials in medical applications appear to be
excellent. In orthopedic applications, there is a significant need and demand for the …

Surface microstructure and chemical composition of the implant are very important for its
osseointegration in vivo. In this paper, a hierarchical micropattern covered with calcium …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings loaded with nanosilver particles is an attractive method to
impart the HA coating with antibacterial properties. Producing Ag/HA coatings on porous Ti …

There is archaeological evidence that lost teeth were replaced by handcarved ivory or wood
'implants' as long ago as ancient Egypt. In the early 1950s Swedish orthopaedic surgeon …

Studies in developmental and cell biology have established the fact that responses of cells
are influenced to a large degree by morphology and composition of the extracellular matrix …
