Abstract
This research aimed to explore the effects of varying porosities and pore sizes in porous titanium on osteointegration following mandibular defect reconstruction in goats. Porous titanium products were fabricated using spark plasma sintering technology combined with powder metallurgy techniques. Based on experimental requirements, standard porous titanium samples were categorized into three groups: Group A with 50%-70% porosity and 100-300 μm pore size; Group B with 70%-85% porosity and 300-500 μm pore size; and Group C with no porosity. These samples were implanted into the mandibular defects of goats, which were euthanized three months after implantation for analysis. The assessment of osteointegration involved general observations, X-ray, micro-CT, biomechanical testing, and histological examinations. Results indicated that Group B's porous titanium exhibited superior osteointegration, making it the most suitable material for enhancing cellular and tissue growth.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
