Cancellous bone is a porous material composed of numerous trabecular elements, and its porosity changes according to its position within a bone. In this study, the effect of porosity distribution in ...

The total tissue volume of subchondral bone decreased at 2 weeks and increased at 4 weeks postsurgery, and the subchondral bone structure densified at 8 weeks . Microstructure disruption was indicated ...

Biodegradable polymers and composites are promising candidates for biomedical implants in tissue engineering. However, state-of-the-art composite scaffolds suffer from a strength–toughness dilemma due ...

Ultrasonic velocity is determined in a number of bovine cancellous (spongy) bone samples by using a double-probe-through-transmission ultrasonic pulse technique. The ultrasonic velocity, total mineral ...

Mechanical properties are among the most concerned issues for artificial bone grafting materials. The scaffolds used for bone grafts are either too brittle (glass) or too weak (polymer), and therefore ...

ABSTRACT. Objective: The present study aimed to assess the morphology of symphysis and alveolar bone thickness (ABT) surrounding mandibular incisors in thalassemic patients, as compared to unaffected ...
