Numerous studies have demonstrated the critical role of angiogenesis for successful
osteogenesis during endochondral ossification and fracture repair. Vascular endothelial …

Purpose: This study examined the ingrowth of bone into coralline, porous hydroxyapatite
(HA) block (Interpore 200) over long periods after orthognathic surgery and analyzed their …

Background and Purpose Some of the most problematic craniofacial injuries in pediatric
plastic surgery are large calvarial defects in children who have passed the age of maximal …

Titanium foams of relative density in the range 0.35–0.50 are tested in quasi-static
compression, tension and shear. The response is ductile in compression but brittle, and …

Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine how different parameters affect the
bending strength of human cadaver mandibles that have undergone a sagittal split …

This study sought to quantify bone ingrowth from a single bone–implant surface into porous
block hydroxyapatite used in maxillofacial applications. Seventeen maxillary hydroxyapatite …
