Comparative Histological Analysis of Dentine-Derived Tooth Grafts in Maxillary vs Mandibular Socket Preservation: A Retrospective Study of 178 Cases.

(1) Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in tooth-derived materials as valuable alternatives to synthetic biomaterials for preventing alveolar ridge dimensional changes. This study aimed to evaluate the histological and clinical differences between alveolar ridge preservation procedures in the maxilla and mandible using demineralized dentin treated with Tooth Transformer®. (2) Methods: A total of 178 patients in good general health were enrolled, with 187 post-extractive sockets lacking buccal and/or palatal bone walls. Alveolar socket preservation procedures and histological evaluations were performed. The sites were divided into two groups: Group A (99 mandibular samples) and Group B (108 maxillary samples). After 5 months (±1 month), single bone biopsies were performed for histologic and histomorphometric analysis. (3) Results: Clinical outcomes demonstrated a good healing of hard and soft tissues with an effective maintenance of bone architecture in both groups. Histomorphometric analysis revealed a total bone volume of 50.33% (±14.86) in Group A compared to 43.53% (±12.73) in Group B. The vital new bone volume was 40.59% (±19.90) in Group A versus 29.70% (±17.68) in Group B, with residual graft dentin material volume at 7.95% (±9.85) in Group A compared to 6.75% (±9.62) in Group B. (4) Conclusions: These results indicate that tooth-derived material supports hard tissue reconstruction by following the structure of the surrounding bone tissue. A 6.8% difference observed between the maxilla and mandible reflects the inherent disparities in natural bone structures in these regions. This suggests that the bone regeneration process after tooth extraction adheres to an anatomical functional pattern that reflects the specific bone characteristics of each area, thus contributing to the preservation of the morphology and functionality of the surrounding bone tissue.

Facile synthesis of in situ bismuth-doped calcium phosphate nanocomposite integrated injectable biopolymer hydrogel slurry for bone regeneration

The bionics of natural bone structures plays an essential role in the selection of materials for bone tissue engineering. Although the content of trace metallic elements in bone is low, they have significant effects on the process of bone growth and metabolism. Up to now, the applications of “green” heavy metals in bone regeneration are limited. Herein, in this study, we present a straightforward one-pot strategy for the synthesis of in situ bismuth-doped amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomposites (RBCP), effectively integrating the beneficial properties of each component. The characterization of these products can be readily optimized by adjusting reaction parameters. Our in vitro studies show that under coordination of each component, the RBCP biomaterial demonstrates distinguished biocompatibility and significantly accelerates vascular pattern formation within just 4 h by stimulating the expression of angiogenesis-related genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In vivo experiments indicate that the incorporation of bismuth effectively enhances bone regeneration and osseointegration in a rat femur defect model. In conclusion, the as-prepared RBCP biomaterials hold promising prospects for treating segmental bone defects, owing to the facile, cost-effective, and eco-friendly preparation process, along with their remarkable capabilities.

Investigating the Promising P28 Peptide-Loaded Chitosan/Ceramic Bone Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration.

Bone has the ability to heal itself; however, bone defects fail to heal once the damage exceeds a critical size. Bone regeneration remains a significant clinical challenge, with autograft considered the ideal bone graft material due to its sufficient porosity, osteogenic cells, and biological growth factors. However, limitations to bone grafting, such as limited bone stock and high resorption rates, have led to a great deal of research into developing bone graft substitutes. The P28 peptide is a small molecule bioactive biomimetic alternative to mimic the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). In this study, we investigated the potential of P28-loaded hybrid scaffolds to mimic the natural bone structure for enhancing the bone regeneration process. We hypothesized that the peptide-loaded scaffolds and nude scaffolds both have the potential to promote bone healing, and the bone healing process is accelerated by the release of the peptide. To verify our hypothesis, C2C12 cells were evaluated for the presence of calcium deposits by histological stain at 7 and 14 days in cultures with hybrid scaffolds. Total RNA was isolated from C2C12 cells cultured with hybrid scaffolds for 7 and 14 days to assess osteoblast differentiation. The project findings demonstrated that the hybrid scaffold could enhance osteoblast differentiation and significantly improve the therapeutic effects of the scaffold in bone regeneration.

From computed tomography to 3D printed heterogeneous scaffolds: A novel approach to simulating bone characteristics using octree adaptive subdivision

Bone microstructures or scaffolds mimicking natural bone characteristics find widespread applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). To accurately replicate a personalized bone structure, we developed a heterogeneous scaffold by combining medical image data with the octree adaptive subdivision technique. The transformations between Hounsfield units (HU)-strength and strength-lattice features were implemented for mapping bone information to the scaffold. Initially, HU values from computed tomography (CT) images were smoothly converted into corresponding strengths through a rational Bezier curve. Then, these strengths were further translated into the features of lattice structures, specifically the strut diameter and subdivision level. The novel concept of adaptive octree subdivision, executed on the lattices, allows for controlling bone porosity and mechanical property even at local levels. As a result, a personalized heterogeneous scaffold accurately simulating natural bone structure was designed and manufactured for bone grafting application on a 3D-printed alveolar model. The scaffold has an outer cortical bone layer capable of withstanding pressures of up to 208.2 MPa, while the inner cancellous bone exhibits a high porosity ranging from 77.6 % to 93.6 %. The research provides an elegant yet effective approach to the generation of bone microstructures, opening up practical BTE applications.

Research on Dual-Phase Composite Forming Process and Platform Construction of Radial Gradient Long Bone Scaffold.

The structure and composition of natural bone show gradient changes. Most bone scaffolds prepared by bone tissue engineering with single materials and structures present difficulties in meeting the needs of bone defect repair. Based on the structure and composition of natural long bones, this study proposed a new bone scaffold preparation technology, the dual-phase composite forming process. Based on the composite use of multiple biomaterials, a bionic natural long bone structure bone scaffold model with bone scaffold pore structure gradient and material concentration gradient changes along the radial direction was designed. Different from the traditional method of using multiple nozzles to achieve material concentration gradient in the scaffold, the dual-phase composite forming process in this study achieved continuous 3D printing preparation of bone scaffolds with gradual material concentration gradient by controlling the speed of extruding materials from two feed barrels into a closed mixing chamber with one nozzle. Through morphological characterization and mechanical property analysis, the results showed that BS-G (radial gradient long bone scaffolds prepared by the dual-phase composite forming process) had obvious pore structure gradient changes and material concentration gradient changes, while BS-T (radial gradient long bone scaffolds prepared by printing three concentrations of material in separate regions) had a discontinuous gradient with obvious boundaries between the parts. The compressive strength of BS-G was 1.00 ± 0.19 MPa, which was higher than the compressive strength of BS-T, and the compressive strength of BS-G also met the needs of bone defect repair. The results of in vitro cell culture tests showed that BS-G had no cytotoxicity. In a Sprague-Dawley rat experimental model, blood tests and key organ sections showed no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. The prepared BS-G was verified to have good biocompatibility and lays a foundation for the subsequent study of the bone repair effect of radial gradient long bone scaffolds in large animals.

Advanced biomimetic design strategies for porous structures promoting bone integration with additive-manufactured Ti6Al4V scaffolds

The natural bone structure exhibits a radial gradient with dense cortical bone externally and porous cancellous bone internally. However, previous studies proposing scaffold designs have predominantly focused on homogeneous porous structures. Moreover, no consensus exists on the optimal structure for gradient porous scaffolds. Our scaffold closely imitated the natural bone structure by incorporating a gradient of pillar diameters. Additionally, we introduced a inverse gradient structure and three uniform diameter pillar structures (400 μm, 600 μm, and 1000 μm) for comparative analysis. Mechanical testing revealed that the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the Ti6Al4V porous scaffolds gradually increased with an increase in pillar diameter. In vitro experiments demonstrated that both the biomimetic gradient and inverse gradient scaffolds promoted osteogenic differentiation, with higher ALP activity (alkaline phosphatase) and osteogenesis-related gene expression compared to the uniform pillar structure scaffolds. The in vivo experiments confirmed these results, highlighting the superior ability of the biomimetic gradient Ti6Al4V porous scaffold to induce new bone formation. Based on our findings, we suggest that the optimal porous structure should have fine-diameter pillars (approximately 400 μm) internally to enhance cell penetration, while coarse-diameter pillars (approximately 800 μm) should be used externally to increase the cell attachment area and enhance mechanical strength. Overall, our study contributes to the field of bone tissue engineering by providing a biomimetic scaffold design that closely imitates the structure of natural bone and promotes osteogenic activity.

The potent osteo-inductive capacity of bioinspired brown seaweed-derived carbohydrate nanofibrous three-dimensional scaffolds.

This study aimed to investigate the osteo-inductive capacity of a fucoidan polysaccharide network derived from brown algae on human adipose-derived stem cells (HA-MSCs) for bone regeneration. The physiochemical properties of the scaffold including surface morphology, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity, mechanical stiffness, and porosity were thoroughly characterized. Both in vitro and in vivo measurements implied a superior cell viability, proliferation, adhesion, and osteo-inductive performance of obtained scaffolds compared to using specific osteogenic induction medium with increased irregular growth of calcium crystallites, which mimic the structure of natural bones. That scaffold was highly biocompatible and suitable for cell cultures. Various examinations, such as quantification of mineralization, alkaline phosphatase, gene expression, and immunocytochemical staining of pre-osteocyte and bone markers confirmed that HAD-MSCs differentiate into osteoblasts, even without an osteogenic induction medium. This study provides evidence for the positive relationship and synergistic effects between the physical properties of the decellularized seaweed scaffold and the chemical composition of fucoidan in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of HA-MSCs. Altogether, the natural matrices derived from brown seaweed offers a sustainable, cost-effective, non-toxic bioinspired scaffold and holds promise for future clinical applications in orthopedics.

Hierarchically porous bone scaffold fabricated via direct foam writing with TCP/ZrO2 composite ink

Customizing bone scaffolds to mimic the hierarchically porous structure of natural bone presents a promising strategy for treating critical bone defects. Although low-cost direct ink writing (DIW) is often used to customize bone scaffolds, the limited print resolution made it difficult to print microporous structures. In this study, DIW was combined with the direct foam method to construct bone scaffolds with hierarchical and interconnected macro-micro porous structures. The foam stabilization mechanism of pure TCP was investigated to prepare TCP-enhanced ZrO2-based composite foam inks. Incorporating TCP endowed a richer interconnection structure to the composite foam. The printed bone scaffolds feature three scales of pore structure: interconnected macropores of 400–500 μm, bubble template pores of 50 μm, and open pores of <20 μm. The scaffold exhibited properties comparable to cancellous bone, such as 90 % porosity, 3.1 MPa compressive strength, and 1.0 GPa elastic modulus. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that cells can grow into the interior of the scaffold by following the connecting pores. And, incorporating TCP significantly enhances osteogenic protein and gene expression in bionic bone scaffolds. This facile and controllable approach offers an alternative solution to addressing the challenge of clinical implant shortages.

Biomimetic structural design and performance study of 3D-printed graded minimal surface bone scaffolds with enhanced bioactivity

Bone bionics and structural engineering have played a vital role in bone regeneration, with artificial scaffolds generating widespread interest. However, the mechanical properties and bone regeneration potential of biomimetic structures remain unclear. Herein, biodegradable polymer composites based on poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) were 3D-printed into lattice structures as tissue engineering scaffolds. For structural design, graded diamond (D) minimal surfaces were proposed and designed to mimic the natural bone structure. The graded topologies were realized by designing gradient thickness either radially from center to edge or vertically from top to bottom. The mechanical performance of these graded samples displayed better load-carrying and energy absorption capacity than the uniform counterparts. No obvious damage was detected in the internal microstructure of the compressed samples using computed tomography. Subsequently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), containing diverse cytokines, was loaded on the graded scaffolds. The PRP-loaded D-scaffold reported improved in vitro cell proliferation and osteoblast differentiation. Finally, femoral condyle defect repair results indicated that the PRP-loaded D-scaffold effectively promoted early-stage bone regeneration. Overall, this work provides insights into fabricating artificial scaffolds with bioactive factors and biomimetic lattice structures.

Customized 3D‐printed heterogeneous porous titanium scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

AbstractBone defect is a common clinical disease. Due to the uncertainty of trauma or infection areas, customized size features are often required for bone substitutes. By inspiration of the natural bone structure, this study designs porous scaffolds with a biomimetic design perspective by using different inner and outer pore units. The outer pore units adopt body‐centered cubic (BCC) structure to simulate the weight‐bearing function of human cortical bone, while inner pore units using I‐Wrapped Package structure, a kind of three periods minimum surface, to obtain a good permeability and simulates the inner layer of cancellous bone. To further regulate the overall modulus of the scaffold within the range of natural bone modulus in the human body, the scaffold was designed to axial gradient structure. Compression experiments were conducted, and the results indicated that when the volume fraction linearly increased from 20% to 50%, the Young's modulus was close to the cortical bone modulus in the human body. In vitro cell experiments further proved that osteoblasts have good cellular activity and spreading morphology on the surface of this scaffold. The customized 3D‐printed heterogeneous porous titanium scaffold has great application potential in bone tissue engineering.

Vat photopolymerization of biomimetic bone scaffolds based on Mg, Sr, Zn-substituted hydroxyapatite: Effect of sintering temperature

In response to the urgent demand for innovative bone regeneration solutions, the focus of this study is to develop and characterize Mg, Sr, Zn-substituted calcium phosphate scaffolds that replicate the trabecular architecture of cancellous bone. Ion substitution represents a promising approach to improve the biological effectiveness of calcium phosphates and composite materials used in bone tissue engineering applications. Porous scaffolds mimicking the natural bone structure were additively manufactured from the photosensitive ceramic suspensions for vat photopolymerization using digital light processing. The impact of the selected trace elements (0, 1 and 5 mol.% substitution) and the sintering temperature (900, 1000, 1100, 1200, and 1300 °C) was investigated in relation to the obtained crystalline phase content, microstructure, elemental distribution, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. After sintering, in addition to hydroxyapatite, β-tricalcium phosphate was detected as a result of the added trace elements in the calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite used as a starting powder. The obtained scaffolds exhibited uniform distribution of the trace elements, and they feature 3D-designed porosity predominantly ranged from 10 to 900 μm in diameter, with an average pore size of 546.25 ± 10.95 μm. The total porosity of scaffolds was 76.24 ± 1.32 vol% and an average wall thickness of 217.03 ± 8.98 μm, closely resembling the morphology of cancellous bone tissue. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds sintered at 1100 °C, 1200 °C, and 1300 °C were in line with those typically observed in trabecular bone. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using custom made bioactive hydroxyapatite powders together with vat photopolymerization to design the porosity and properties of the bone scaffolds on demand, based on the requirements of individual bone defects.

Construction of multileveled and oriented micro/nano channels in Mg doped hydroxyapitite bioceramics and their effect on mimicking mechanical property of cortical bone and biological performance of cancellous bone

Drawing on the structure and components of natural bone, this study developed Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HA) bioceramics, characterized by multileveled and oriented micro/nano channels. These channels play a critical role in ensuring both mechanical and biological properties, making bioceramics suitable for various bone defects, particularly those bearing loads. Bioceramics feature uniformly distributed nanogrooves along the microchannels. The compressive strength or fracture toughness of the Mg-HA bioceramics with micro/nano channels formed by single carbon nanotube/carbon fiber (CNT/CF) (Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF)) are comparable to those of cortical bone, attributed to a combination of strengthened compact walls and microchannels, along with a toughening mechanism involving crack pinning and deflection at nanogroove intersections. The introduction of uniform nanogrooves also enhanced the porosity by 35.4 %, while maintaining high permeability owing to the capillary action in the oriented channels. This leads to superior degradation properties, protein adsorption, and in vivo osteogenesis compared with bioceramics with only microchannels. Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF) exhibited not only high strength and toughness comparable to cortical bone, but also permeability similar to cancellous bone, enhanced cell activity, and excellent osteogenic properties. This study presents a novel approach to address the global challenge of applying HA-based bioceramics to load-bearing bone defects, potentially revolutionizing their application in tissue engineering.

Design and characterization of 3D printed pore gradient hydrogel scaffold for bone tissue engineering

Macroporous hydrogel scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering to promote cell growth and proliferation. Aiming to enhance cell seeding efficiency and facilitate the osteodifferentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, this study demonstrates the fabrication of pore gradient biodegradable hydrogel scaffolds inspired by natural bone structure for bone tissue engineering applications. The scaffolds were fabricated via extrusion-based 3D printing, using sequential deposition of three customized Gelatin/Oxidized Alginate - based inks with subsequent cryogenic crosslinking for permanent structure fixation. The resulting constructs were characterized and featured a continuous gradient morphology with pore sizes ranging from 10 to 300 μm. The gradient scaffolds exhibited improved mechanical stability, with a compression resistance of 149 kPa, as opposed to the non-gradient scaffold's 116 kPa at 70 % strain, and a sustained degradation rate with only a 10 % loss of its initial weight within three weeks. Gradient scaffolds demonstrated a doubling of cell seeding efficiency to 47 % with dense and homogeneously distributed cellular layers, as evidenced by confocal and electron microscopy. Furthermore, the gradient scaffolds demonstrated superior osteodifferentiation, with significantly higher ALP and DMP1 production and enhanced extracellular matrix mineralization compared to gradientless macroporous scaffolds. This study provides insights into the design of macroporous scaffolds and emphasizes the advantages of pore gradient over homogeneous gradientless morphologies.

Bone Mimetic Polyetheretherketone Implant Coating Facilitates Early Osseointegration

AbstractAging society demands advanced bone implants that can achieve long‐term success through osseointegration at the bone‐implant interface. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a bioinert implant material, often struggles with connecting to existing bone tissue, leading to inflammation and implant replacement. Following nature's lessons, a new strategy is introduced that masks the surface of bio‐ and chemically inert Polyetheretherketone implants with a covalently anchored bone‐mimetic surface. This method transforms PEEK into a bone‐integrative material by grafting a ≈300 nm thick gelatin layer onto its surface, subsequently mineralized with calcium phosphate. Herein, it is showed that this surface modification for implant materials combines excellent bulk implant properties with the characteristic structure and functional properties of natural bone. In vitro biocompatibility assays, employing NIH‐3T3 fibroblast and MC3T3‐E1 osteoblast cell lines, confirm the enhanced biocompatibility of the modified material. This strategy offers promising prospects for improving bone implants and exemplifies the adaptation of a non‐osseointegrative material to a bone‐like interface.

Biomimetic design and fabrication of thermally induced radial gradient shape memory scaffolds using fused deposition modeling (FDM) for bone tissue engineering

Bone defects pose a significant challenge, often exceeding natural healing capabilities. This study explores the potential of thermally induced radial gradient shape memory (RGSM) scaffolds for minimally invasive bone repair. Inspired by the natural porosity gradient of bone, these scaffolds feature a high-porosity inner zone that mimics cancellous bone and a low-porosity outer zone that resembles cortical bone. When the relationship between porosity and key properties was investigated, it was found that lower-porosity RGSM scaffolds exhibited higher compressive strength but experienced higher residual strain and lower shape recovery ratio compared to their higher-porosity counterparts. Despite this trade-off, the gradient design successfully mimicked the natural bone structure, potentially enhancing osseointegration and bone regeneration. These results demonstrate the feasibility of RGSM scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. This holds promise for advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving the treatment of bone defects.

Biomimetic Bone-Like Composite Hydrogel Scaffolds Composed of Collagen Fibrils and Natural Hydroxyapatite for Promoting Bone Repair.

Bone is a complex organic-inorganic composite tissue composed of ∼30% organics and ∼70% hydroxyapatite (HAp). Inspired by this, we used 30% collagen and 70% HAp extracted from natural bone using the calcination method to generate a biomimetic bone composite hydrogel scaffold (BBCHS). In one respect, BBCHS, with a fixed proportion of inorganic and organic components similar to natural bone, exhibits good physical properties. In another respect, the highly biologically active and biocompatible HAp from natural bone effectively promotes osteogenic differentiation, and type I collagen facilitates cell adhesion and spreading. Additionally, the well-structured porosity of the BBCHS provides sufficient growth space for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) while promoting substance exchange. Compared to the control group, the new bone surface of the defective location in the B-HA70+Col group is increased by 3.4-fold after 8 weeks of in vivo experiments. This strategy enables the BBCHS to closely imitate the chemical makeup and physical structure of natural bone. With its robust biocompatibility and osteogenic activity, the BBCHS can be easily adapted for a wide range of bone repair applications and offers promising potential for future research and development.

Composite demineralized bone matrix nanofiber scaffolds with hierarchical interconnected networks via eruptive inorganic catalytic decomposition for osteoporotic bone regeneration

Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is one of the standard biomaterials used to fill surgical bone defects in general orthopedic procedures. However, current DBM products come in the form of powder or viscous solutions that fail to mimic the natural hierarchical structure of bone while also using large amounts of valuable material. To overcome this, compact fibrous DBM/polymer (fDBM) composites were prepared via electrospinning. Then, by exploiting the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, oxygen pockets are formed in the scaffold imparting it with a hierarchical porous structure similar to bone (Op-fDBM). These pockets created by bubbles of oxygen help give the scaffold a mechanically stable shape while the incorporated DBM supports cell adhesion and growth. In vivo evaluations reveal that fDBM increased bone volume by 41.7 % while Op-fDBM increased bone volume by 68.6 %. Significant increases in regenerated bone volume with the use of minimal amounts of DBM in fiber form go to show the great potential of this work in the field of bone regeneration.

Design of TPMS-based Uniform and Hybrid Graded Lattice Structures: A Fluid Flow Analysis

Each year, more than four million people around the world undergo bone grafts and prosthesis transplants to treat bone defects and injuries by repairing and/or replacing native bone. As a result, the scaffold holds great promise for the regeneration of damaged or diseased bone tissues. One of the key components is the design of scaffolds that can mimic the structure and function of natural bone. Based on unit cell design, triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) has attracted the attention of researchers for designing porous scaffolds. In current study, uniform and multi-morphology hybrid graded structures were designed based on TPMS, namely, primitive and I-graph-wrapped package (IWP) minimal surfaces. Furthermore, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was designed based on COMSOL Multiphysics to understand the fluidic characteristics (permeability and wall shear stress) of the structures. The results show that structures reported a permeability of 7.4 – 14.3 × 10 -8 m2, meeting the requirements of natural bone. Moreover, the average wall shear stress of 0.5 – 136 mPa was observed, suitable for osteoblast differentiation and proliferation.

Recent Advances in Wastewater Treatment by Utilisation of Bio-waste-derived Hydroxyapatite

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is basically calcium phosphate and the main inorganic component in natural bone and teeth structure. Animal bones and eggshells are mass-generated bio-wastes, and their calcium-rich structure makes them suitable precursors for bioactive HAp synthesis through biomimetic mineralisation. Industrial wastewater discharge is a worldwide alarming problem due to high-capacity industrial-scale processes, and their adverse effects on human health and environment will be encountered long term. Adsorption is the most widely used separation process in wastewater treatment, in which HAp particles can be used as bio-adsorbents for wastewater treatment processes due to their bioactive nature. Utilisation of bio-waste-derived HAp particles for wastewater treatment applications would be a step towards sustainable development and circular economy concepts. It promotes the reuse and recycle rate of bio-wastes as bio-adsorbents through an effective waste management strategy and increases the circularity of the material in the production chain. This study offers a brief overview of articles published in 2023 on the use of bio-waste-derived HAp particles for wastewater treatment.
