At least 25 bioactive glass (BG) medical devices have been approved for clinical use by
global regulatory agencies. Diverse applications include monolithic implants, bone void …

The use of bioactive glasses in dentistry, reconstructive surgery, and in the treatment of
infections can be considered broadly beneficial based on the emerging literature about the …

Fibr-reinforced composites (FRC) have been used successfully for decades in many fields of
science and engineering applications. Benefits of FRCs relate to physical properties of …

Abstract Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and PEEK composites are outstanding candidates
for biomedical applications, such as orthopedic devices, where biocompatibility and …

Although metals have successfully been used as implants for decades, devices made out of
metals do not meet all clinical requirements. For example, metal objects may interfere with …

Different biomaterials have been clinically used as bone filling materials, although the
mechanisms behind the biological effects are incompletely understood. To address this, we …

OBJECTIVE Various implanted materials are used in neurosurgery; however, there remains
a lack of pooled data on infection rates (IRs) and infective bacteria over past decades. The …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer is a widely accepted implantable biomaterial in the
biomedical field. However, PEEK has a low elastic modulus (E-modulus) as well as a bio …

Aim of the study was to evaluate apatite forming ability and ion dissolution of bioactive glass-
ceramic (BGC) particles from novel polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based endodontic sealer …

Full thickness calvarial defects present considerable challenges to reconstructive surgeons.
In paediatric cases, the use of biomaterials as a substrate for cranioplasty rather than …
