Drug Releasing Porous Materials for Tissue Repair and Regeneration

3600 – Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been shown to trigger new bone formation in animal models. Since the delivery of BMPs in a solution phase does not result in bone formation, strategies have focused on developing collagen matrices for the delivery of BMPs in vivo. Collagen matrices have been successful in preclinical and human clinical trials but still hold several shortcomings: (1)... Read More

Children's Dental Problems and Management

4266 – Parents and guardians are the “gatekeepers” of children’s dental care. Often, children’s dental fear, combined with a lack of a perception of need, might affect parents’ decision making concerning utilizing dental care services for their children. Dental providers face the challenge of informing parents about their child’s oral health status and the different dental procedures. A better... Read More

PDGF Releasing Matrices for Angiogenesis and Tissue Regeneration

3663 – Grafting materials (e.g., autografts, allografts) have been used to repair tissue loss from accidents and diseases. Limited attachment and the risk of pathogen transmission and immune rejection of the materials are however major concerns in grafting procedures. The field of tissue engineering has focused on developing new approaches to develop biological alternatives to harvested tissues... Read More
