Evaluation of inorganic and organic bone components after application of an apatite-coated Al2O3 implants as scaffolds for bone repair

Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the influence of uncoated and apatite-coated Al

In vivo evaluation of bone repair guided with biological membrane based on polyhydroxybutyrate and norbixin

“…Therefore, the greater the deposition of the organic matrix, the more mineralization occurs and the bone density of the tissue increases. Such correlation between inorganic component and organic matrix already observed by Maia et al 31 was also found in this study.…”

“…The samples were examined on a FEI scanning electron microscope, model FEG 250 (Tokyo, Japan), with an acceleration voltage of 1–30 kV. SEM images were captured at ×120 magnification to analyze the surface morphology of the entire area of induced defects 31 …”

Characterization and assessment of the genotoxicity and biocompatibility of poly (hydroxybutyrate) and norbixin membranes

“…The in vivo assays used in this research were relevant because they show detailed biological and physiological information and are officially approved and considered as by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as part of the security prootcol analysis for genotoxicity assessment 35,36 .…”
