“…Zirconia is a structural ceramic that has been used for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, osseointegration potential, radiopacity, favorable mechanical properties, and in particular, its toughness [134][135][136]. When a crack occurs in zirconia, an internal tension is generated due to its propagation, transforming some grains from tetragonal to monoclinic (t→m), which increases the volume by about 5% [137].…”

Preventive and regenerative techniques have been suggested to minimize the aesthetic and functional effects caused by intraoral bone defects, enabling the installation of dental implants. Among them, porous three-dimensional structures (scaffolds) composed mainly of bioabsorbable ceramics, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) stand out for reducing the use of autogenous, homogeneous, and xenogenous bone grafts and their unwanted effects. In order to stimulate bone formation, biodegradable polymers such as cellulose, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyhydroxylbutyrate (PHB), polypropylenofumarate (PPF), polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), and poly L-co-D, L lactic acid (PLDLA) have also been studied. More recently, hybrid scaffolds can combine the tunable macro/microporosity and osteoinductive properties of ceramic materials with the chemical/physical properties of biodegradable polymers. Various methods are suggested for the manufacture of scaffolds with adequate porosity, such as conventional and additive manufacturing techniques and, more recently, 3D and 4D printing. The purpose of this manuscript is to review features concerning biomaterials, scaffolds macro and microstructure, fabrication techniques, as well as the potential interaction of the scaffolds with the human body.

“…The EF of WR and water environment can be described in two aspects: one is the WR consumed by human beings in life and production; the other is the process of maintaining the water demand of natural environment. According to the concept of EF, a WR account including surface water, namely, groundwater related to the ecological environment and social and economic functions of WR, is established [13][14]. WR and water environment, as two important indexes to calculate water EF, play a crucial role in water EF.…”

Water resources(WR) have gradually become a key factor affecting the stable expand of social economy. In this context, it is of great practical significance to evaluate and simulate the regional WR carrying capacity(CC), analyze the WR CC, and find the shortcomings of the current WR system. This paper mainly studies the evaluation of WR CC based on ecological footprint(EF). In this paper, the concept of WR CC is expounded and the calculation formula of water EF is analyzed. The EF model was used to calculate the EF and CC of WR in A city. The study of WR CC has important theoretical and practical significance for the scientific and rational expand and utilization of local WR, economic expand, environmental protection, ecological balance and harmony between man and land.
