A biomaterial is "any substance (other than drugs) or combination of substances, synthetic or natural in origin, which can be used for any period of time, as a whole or as a part of a system which treats, augments, or replaces any tissue, organ, or function of the body".
Soft tissues are the tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body, not being hard tissues such as bone. Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes (which are connective tissue), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels (which are not connective tissue).
The presentation covers Blood interfacing and non-blood interfacing STR currently available and biomaterials used in thier synthesis.
Abstract
Background: We set out to determine the possibility of radiographically evaluating the degree of marginal bone loss in humans after functional loading of implants at sites of guided bone regeneration (GBR) with autogenous tooth-based bone graft (ATBBG) material (AutoBT®, Korea Tooth Bank, Seoul, Korea).
Materials and Methods: Using ATBBG material, GBR procedures were performed on the extraction sockets with bone defects such as buccal dehiscence and 6 months of healing was allowed. Dental implants were installed and prosthetic procedures were done after another 6 months of healing. Marginal bone levels (MBLs) were radiographically measured following functional loading (mean duration, 10 months; range, 4–18 months) in 10 patients among 19 patients initially enrolled in this study (4 men and 6 women; age range, 39–65 years; mean age, 55.4 years) who maintained follow-up visits after entire surgical and prosthetic procedures.
Results: No significant MBL differences were noted immediately after GBR, implant placement and prosthesis delivery (F=0.245, P>0.05). Changes in the MBLs were not affected by gender.
Conclusion: The ATBBG material is viable for GBR and can yield a stable MBL even after functional loading of implants. The degree of marginal bone loss after loading with ATBBG is stable.
3T's: Technology, Technique & Team work that are transforming orthopaedics todayVaibhav Bagaria
The presentation is about newer techniques, cutting edge technology and team work trends that are changing the way orthopaedics is being practiced today. Five upcoming disruptive technologies include: minimally invasive surgeries, 3D printing, Orthobiologics, Smart Implants & robotics.
A talk from the http://www.republika.io conference:
You may have heard about recent reports and the debates on gun parts that are printed on a "3D printer". You may have heard about the RepRaps - the home built replicating 3D printers. You may have heard of NASAs plans to send a 3D Printer up to the moon to print out a moon base out of moon dust. You may argue, that this is old trick, since the ability to print out objects made of plastic and other materials have been around for more then a decade. Yet behold. I will prove to you that 3D printing will change absolutely everything. And with that change, a revolution will come, as we (our laws, our welfare systems, our society) are caught unprepared. (As a politician and a geek I will concentrate on the cool stuff, and not tune into the doomsday prophecies chants)
Surgeon Perspective on Additive Manufacturing April Bright
As additive manufacturing gains popularity as a production process, it’s important to understand the perspective of surgeons engaged with the technology. Nirav Shah, M.D., has consulted with device companies on additively-manufactured implants and is involved in the research of 3D-printed tissue. He will share his perspective and research on the current state of additive manufacturing in orthopaedics, and provide ideas on how the technology could be used in the future.
The natural fiber reinforced composites are emerging as a potential replacement to synthetic fiber composite for lowering down the cost of applications and they are used in interior of automobile, chassis of cellular phone, building construction, etc. Drilling operation is the most important machining process for assembly of different components. Delamination phenomenon occurs during drilling operation on composites which lay-down the structural reliability of component. The present work focused to carry out experimental studies of thrust force and delamination on drilling of unidirectional hemp fiber reinforced composite. The drilling was carried out by varying tool geometry (end mill, Centre drill, parabolic drill), feed rate (0.07, 0.17, 0.27 mm/rev) and spindle speed (800, 2800, 4800 rpm). Digital image analysis was used to determine the delamination factor. ANOVA has been used to determine the contribution of factors. Multivariable regression analysis has been also used to determine empirical model between parameters
Biomaterials Capstone Project. The focus was on the realm of Tibial Prostheses and proposing a biomaterial augmentation -- incorporating copolymers to optimize properties of one’s typical current implant specifically through with enhancement of self-cleaning and pain-attenuation features. I backed up my pitch with scientific knowledge.
I was offered a grant for this proposal in Fall of 2020. This is also offered with video recording if chosen to listen to my speech embedded in the PPT format.

Understanding the Cost Drivers of Metal Powders: The true costs associated with additive manufacturing processes are often not well understood. To fully grasp the actual manufacturing costs, and therefore the economic viability of AM, each aspect of the entire chain needs to be well understood and controlled. This presentation uncovers the costs and main cost controls surrounding the metal powders used in AM.
Practical Implementation of PEKK Additively Manufactured Orthopaedic Devices: learn how much of the discussion surrounding implementation of additive manufacturing has been focused more on the machine and less on the material and process system, resulting in new structures that then needed to be considered for applications and validated for incorporation into new products.
The aim of this study is to create a FEA model to make a relative comparison between two implant tray materials (Co-Cr-Mo and Ti-Al) at the tibia-implant interface under the constant loading condition with the help of patient-specific bone microstructure using a representative volume element (RVE).
Using the study,

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
