The development of biodegradable and compostable materials as alternative to fossil-based
plastics is today of paramount importance. Polybutylene succinate (PBS) is a class of …

Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely used in the field of bone regeneration,
both in orthopedics and in dentistry, due to their good biocompatibility, osseointegration and …

During recent decades vast and continuously increasing numbers of biomedical implants
have been introduced for continuous use in the human body. Since the early cemented hip …

This contribution aims to provide an overview on the use of poly (butylene succinate)(PBS)
and its copolymers in biomedicine, with particular attention to emerging topics, such as …

The osseointegration rate of titanium dental implants is related to their composition and
surface roughness. Rough-surfaced implants favor both bone anchoring and biomechanical …

Metallic implants with a low effective modulus can provide early load-bearing and reduce
stress shielding, which is favorable for increasing in vivo life-span. In this research, porous …

Until recently the spectacular developments in nanotechnology have been with little regard
to their potential effect on human health and the environment. There are no specific …

Tissue engineering is a promising strategy to treat tissue and organ loss or damage caused
by injury or disease. During the past two decades, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have …

The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …

The Laser Engineered Net Sha** (LENS™) method was used to fabricate porous Ti
implants. Porous Ti structures with controlled porosity in the range of 17–58vol.% and pore …
