Tooth loss is common in patients struggling with dental cavities, periodontal diseases, and tumors, as well as those who abuse tobacco or drugs. In this scenario, dental implants have become the primary treatment option for complete or partial tooth loss. Dental implant failure can be caused by stress shielding phenomenon,...

Addressing large bone segmental defects remains a profound challenge in orthopaedic surgery, demanding graft designs that mirror patient-specific defects while ensuring vascularization, osteoconduction, and structural integrity. Conventional approaches fall short in achieving this level of customization and functionality. This work leverages...

The incidence of fractures and bone defects has been a significant driving force behind research efforts aimed at enhancing the quality of life for patients. However, it is important to acknowledge the inherent complexities of this research field. Where each patient could have different scenarios along with the difficulty of replicate the...

In this work, the fatigue and cellular performance of novel superficially treated porous titanium dental implants made up using conventional powder metallurgy and space-holder techniques (30 vol.% and 50 vol.%, both with a spacer size range of 100–200 µm) are evaluated. Before the sintering stage, a specific stage of CNC milling of the screw...
