  • Advanced Biomaterials for Dental Applications

    Advanced Biomaterials for Dental Applications
    Jan 24 2026
    Provides an overview of advanced biomaterials and techniques used in modern dental applications, primarily focusing on implantology, restorative materials, and bone regeneration. Several articles investigate the mechanical and biological properties of different dental materials, such as the fatigue performance and hardness of resin composite blocks with zirconia inserts for implant crowns, and the antimicrobial activity of calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers over time against biofilms. Other research explores methods for improving osseointegration, including the use of alendronate coatings on titanium implants to promote calcium phosphate formation, and a review details the design and surface modifications for zirconia dental implants. Finally, studies also examine materials for soft and hard tissue augmentation, comparing the efficacy of connective tissue grafts versus acellular dermal matrices for soft tissue management in immediate implant placement and introducing phosphorylated pullulan as a bioabsorbable, adhesive material for bone replacement.

  • 3D Bioprinting and Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

    3D Bioprinting and Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
    Jan 23 2026
    Discusses the fields of 3D bioprinting and nanotechnology as they apply to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Specifically, it explores various additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, such as selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA), and laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) methods like laser-guided direct writing (LGDW) and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation direct writing (MAPLEDW), outlining their mechanisms, pros, and cons. A significant focus is placed on nanobiomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their utility in augmenting scaffolds for tissue types like bone and cartilage. Furthermore, the sources cover the role of hydrogels and nanocomposites in creating viable, mechanically sound scaffolds for applications ranging from craniofacial bone reconstruction to skin and neural tissue regeneration, while also considering intellectual property (IP) and ethical implications.

  • Classic Papers and Pioneers in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery

    Classic Papers and Pioneers in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
    Jan 20 2026
    Review the foundational history and key figures in the development of maxillofacial and oral surgery as a recognized medical specialty. The documents highlight pioneering surgeons such as Simon P. Hullihen, who performed the first documented mandibular osteotomy in 1847, and James Edmund Garretson, who introduced oral surgery as a distinct specialty in the nineteenth century. A significant focus is placed on the impact of World Wars I and II on advancing trauma treatment and the careers of figures like Sir William Kelsey Fry, Varaztad H. Kazanjian, and Robert H. Ivy, who established modern reconstructive and trauma principles. Furthermore, the texts discuss educational milestones, particularly Walter Guralnick’s establishment of the dual-degree Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS)-MD program, and major technical advancements in orthognathic surgery and the management of mandibular asymmetry. Collectively, the sources trace the specialty's evolution, emphasizing the critical link between medicine and dentistry and the legacy of its influential leaders.
