Although additive manufacturing has offered substantially new opportunities and flexibility
for fabricating 3D complex lattice structures, effective design of such sophisticated structures …

The long-term success of a dental implant is related to the material and design of the
implant, and bone density. Conventional implants cause stress-shielding due to a mismatch …

Advanced head and neck cancers involving the mandible often require surgical removal of
the diseased parts and replacement with donor bone or prosthesis to recreate the form and …

Subject-specific finite element (FE) modeling of the mandible bone has recently gained
attention for its higher accuracy. A critical modeling factor is including personalized material …

Background and objective The fibula free flap (FFF) has been extensively used to repair
large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The reconstruction plate plays a …

Many patients suffering from oral and maxillofacial tumors cannot open their mouths wide
after mandibular reconstruction surgery. Musculoskeletal multibody modeling could be a …

Tissue scaffolds have emerged as a promising solution for treatment of critical size bone
defects, offering significant advantages over conventional strategies. One of the key …

The present work describes a preclinical trial (in silico, in vivo and in vitro) protocol to assess
the biomechanical performance and osteogenic capability of 3D-printed polymeric scaffolds …

Adaptation is the process by which bone responds to changes in loading environment and
modulates its properties and spatial organization to meet the mechanical demands …

This study aims to investigate tissue differentiation during mandibular reconstruction with
particulate cancellous bone marrow (PCBM) graft healing using biphasic …
