Its aim is to inhibit the growth of bacteria at the wound site and support the growth of new bone structures. This innovative medical engineering is the result of the SCABAEGO joint research project, ...

You might think that with today's composite dental fillings, once you get a tooth filled, it's good for life. According to the University of Oregon's Prof. Jamie Kruzic, however, "almost all fillings ...

Bone defects are a major challenge in regenerative medicine, often requiring advanced biomaterials to enhance the natural healing process. Traditional bone repair methods, including bone grafts, face ...

A few years from now millions of people around the world might be walking around with an unusual kind of glass in their mouth, and using it every time they eat. Engineers have made some promising ...

The utilization of biodegradable biomaterials as a therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration has emerged as a promising avenue for ...

In recent times, the potential toxicity of amalgam (silver fillings) has become an increasing concern among people, who also increasingly prefer less conspicuous fillings. As a result, composite ...

When treating severely broken bones, doctors want new bone tissue to grow back as fast as possible, and they also want to keep the wound site from becoming infected. Scientists have developed an ...

What if glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites could provide the improvement in lightweight, strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance and durability that has been proven for decades, but ...

Orthodontic treatment harbors many advantages, but it also poses complications like demineralization and tooth discoloration around brackets and the bonded areas in the form of white spot lesions (WSL ...

Researchers predict that people may soon wear tooth fillings that incorporate an unusual type of glass. In a new study, researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) found that bioactive glass may ...
