Metal additive manufacturing is gaining immense research attention. Some of these
research efforts are associated with physics, statistical, or artificial intelligence-driven …

Metal implants are widely used in the treatment of orthopedic diseases. However, owing to
the mismatched elastic modulus of the bone and implants, stress shielding often occurs …

The aim of this study was used a weighted topology optimization method to design a patient-
specific mandibular implant for reconstruction and restoration of appearance in patients with …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its derivative polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) have been
used as implant materials for spinal fusing and enjoyed their success for many years …

Bone plates have been widely used for the treatment of bone defects and trauma. These
fixation plates can stabilize or replace bone tissue to restore appropriate load-bearing …

Recently, a novel 3D titanium-mesh scaffold with bone grafting material has been proposed
to reconstruct the large defect of mandible. However, how to design and optimize the 3D …

A porous scaffold/implant is considered a potential method to repair bone defects, but its
mechanical stability and biomechanics during the repair process are not yet clear. A …

The reconstruction of large mandibular defects with optimal aesthetic and functional
outcomes remains a major challenge for maxillofacial surgeons. The aim of this study was to …

Abstract Purpose of Review Evaluate management of challenging malocclusions
conservatively (no extractions or orthognathic surgery). Recent Findings Most malocclusions …

Implant designs highly influence their biomechanical performances when fixed with load-
bearing long bone fractures. In this research work, the topology optimisation technique was …
