Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivable, maxillofacial injuries, such as those arising from military conflicts, often require open or closed reductions that involve the use of metallic plates, screws, and wires. Because these are nonresorbable, internal-fracture-fixation plates made from poly(DL-lactide) and reinforced with calcium metaphosphate (CMP) fibers have been designed to provide initial rigidity and weaken gradually. This exercises the newly formed bone, thereby strengthening it. Also, the need for a second surgery is obviated. Because the biodegradable, composite plates are not readily comformable to closely match the contour of bone and must be cut, drilled, and beveled to the required size and shape, alternative approaches to fracture fixation are desirable. This investigation delved into the feasibility of preparing moldable, moisture- curable poly (DL-lactide)s as matrix for CMP whiskers. Various synthetic schemes were investigated to put isocyanate functionality onto alcohol-terminated prepolymers. At the time of surgery, the curable polymer may be cured by moisture or other curing agents as it is mixed with CMP whiskers. In curing with moisture, foaming can be expected to induce a porosity in the implant. It is concluded from this study that appropriate, biocompatible curing agents to be used with alcohol-terminated prepolymers represent a preferred route to resorbable, fracture fixation materials that can be quickly and simply shaped at the time of surgery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maxillofacial injury requiring open or closed reduction is a frequent result of modern military conflicts. Traditional reduction methodologies involve the use of metallic plates, screws, and wires, along with their associated problems. Therefore, biodegradable fixation appliances, which should provide initial rigidity but then gradually weaken so that newly-forming bone is exercised, have been investigated. COmposite plates made from poly (DL-lactide) and reinforced with calcium metaphosphate (CMP) fibers are very strong, but they weaken rapidly when exposed to an aqueous environment because of a disruption of the interface between the reinforcing fibers and polymer matrix. Coating the plates with a hydrophobic, biodegradable film slows this weakening, but more protection is required. Smaller-diameter fibers and better fiber wetting by the matrix also result in more stable composites, but even nonbiodegradable polymers reinforced with CMP fibers rapidly lose strength in saline. Methods to protect the fiber/polymer interface from fluid attack, such as fiber coatings, alternative bioresorbable glasses, and improved composite fabrication techniques have been investigated. Keywords: Resorbable implants; Boneplate; Fracture fixation; Calcium metaphosphate. (AW).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New nanomaterials are leading to a range of emerging dental treatments that utilize more biomimetic materials that more closely duplicate natural tooth structure (or bone, in the case of implants). The use of nanostructures that will work in harmony with the body's own regenerative processes (eg, to restore tooth structure or alveolar bone) are moving into clinical practice. This book brings together an international team of experts from the fields of nanomaterials, biomedical engineering and dentistry, to cover the new materials and techniques with potential for use intra-orally or extra-orally for the restoration, fixation, replacement, or regeneration of hard and soft tissues in and about the oral cavity and craniofacial region. New dental nanotechnologies include the use of advanced inorganic and organic materials, smart and biomimetic materials, tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies. - Book prepared by an interdisciplinary and international group of bio-nanomaterial scientists and dental/oral biomedical researchers - Comprehensive professional reference for the subject covering materials fabrication and use of materials for all major diagnostic and therapeutic dental applications – repair,restoration, regeneration, implants and prevention - Book focuses in depth on the materials manufacturing processes involved with emphasis on pre-clinical and clinical applications, use and biocompatibility
