Bioactive glass induced in vitro apatite formation on composite GBR membranesTeemu Tirri
Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials Science, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Lemminkaisenkatu 2, 20520 Turku, Finland
J Mater Sci Mater Med 19:2919-23. 2008..At 7 days composition and structure of the apatite surface resembled the apatite in bone. Once nucleated, the surface topography seemed to have significant effect on the growth of the apatite layer...
Natural composite of wood as replacement material for ostechondral bone defectsAllan J Aho
Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials Science, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 83:64-71. 2007..It was concluded that heat-treated wood acted like a porous biomaterial scaffold, allowing ongrowth and ingrowth of bone and cartilage differentiation on its surface, and demonstrating osteoconductive contact, bonding at the interface...
Reconstruction of critical size calvarial bone defects in rabbits with glass-fiber-reinforced composite with bioactive glass granule coatingSari M R Tuusa
Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials Science, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 84:510-9. 2008..After some modifications to the material properties, this type of implant has the potential to become an alternative for the reconstruction of bone defects in the head and neck area in the future...
Injectable bioactive glass/biodegradable polymer composite for bone and cartilage reconstruction: concept and experimental outcome with thermoplastic composites of poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) and bioactive glass S53P4Allan J Aho
Department of Surgery, Turku University Central Hospital, Finland and Biomaterials Research, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Finland
J Mater Sci Mater Med 15:1165-73. 2004..They were biocompatible with low foreign body cellular reaction. Results indicate a suitable working concept as a filler bone substitute for subchondral cancellous bone defects...
Peri-implant tissue response to TiO2 surface modified implantsSami Rossi
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Finland
Clin Oral Implants Res 19:348-55. 2008..The objective of this study was to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue attachment and alveolar bone height on nanoporous TiO(2) thin film on commercial titanium dental implants compared with unmodified standard implants...
Titania and titania-silica coatings for titanium: comparison of ectopic bone formation within cell-seeded scaffoldsVille V Meretoja
Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials Science, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Tissue Eng 13:855-63. 2007..In conclusion, TiO(2)-based sol-gel coatings may be used in tissue engineering to gain more uniform distribution of bone throughout titanium fiber mesh scaffolds...
Adhesion of respiratory-infection-associated microorganisms on degradable thermoplastic compositesTeemu Tirri
Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials Science, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, 20520 Turku, Finland
Int J Biomater 2009:765813. 2009..However, the presence of BAG particles does not inhibit bacterial adhesion, but early colonization of the materials with P. aeruginosa was inhibited by the addition of 90-315 mum BAG particles...
In vitro evaluation of poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-DL-lactide)/ bioactive glass compositesJaana Rich
Department of Chemical Technology, Polymer Technology, Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland
Biomaterials 23:2143-50. 2002..In vitro bioactivity was found to be dependent on the weight fraction and granule size range of the bioactive glass used. The presence of the bioactive filler also accelerated the degradation compared with the neat polymer sample...
Long-term microscopic and tissue analytical findings for 2 frontal sinus obliteration materialsMatti J Peltola
Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland
J Oral Maxillofac Surg 66:1699-707. 2008
