Mechanical Evaluation of Mandibular Defects Restored with rhBMP-2: A Finite Element Model
… the biomechanical properties of rhBMP-2 restored mandibular defects would provide useful knowledge in the future success of orthopedic and dental treatment in patients who have had restoration of mandibular defects with rhBMP-2. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the biomechanical …

A RETROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF THE ACCURACY OF COMPUTER ASSISTED MANDIBULAR RECONSTRUCTION WITH FREE FIBULAR FLAPS TO RECONSTRUCT MANDIBULAR DEFECTS FOLLOWING ABLATIVE TUMOUR THERAPY IN A SINGLE CENTRE
Mandibular reconstruction is crucial to restore form and function following segmental mandibulectomies for ablative tumour therapy. Traditional methods utilizing free hand contouring of the neomandible rely heavily on the individual clinician’s experience and produced variable results. The …

Design and Application of Chitosan/biphasic Calcium Phosphate Porous Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
… implanted with and without bFGF into a porcine mandibular defect model. Tissue engineered constructs facilitated the healing of mandibular defects only if combined with delivery of bFGF via gelatin microspheres. bFGF release from the constructs improved neovascularization in the defect area and …

Quantitative image analysis of in vivo microstructure and growth factor effects in hydroxyapatite bone scaffolds
… 900 images each, that were implanted in porcine mandibular defects for 3, 6, 12, and 24 weeks. The assessment of healing presented in this work demonstrates the level of detail possible in evaluating scaffold-guided bone regeneration. The analysis shows that BMP-2 and microporosity accelerate …

THE MANY FACES OF REGENERATION: ENGINEERING MULTIFUNCTIONAL SCAFFOLDS FOR CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL APPLICATIONS
A mandibular bone defect is a part of the lower jaw where bone is missing. People affected by large mandibular defects face consequences that go far beyond esthetics. For example, they often struggle to chew or speak, and this can affect daily life and overall well-being. Mandibular defects can …
