Abstract
This study investigated the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of Mg-2Zn-0.46Y-0.5Nd (wt.%) alloy plates and screws with fluorinated coatings and atomic layer deposition (ALD)-derived zirconia (ZrO2) coatings in vitro under physiological stress conditions. Synthetic polyurethane hemimandible replicas were split and fixed as the following three groups of magnesium alloy plates and screws: no additional surface coating treatment (Group A), with fluorinated coatings (Group B), and with duplex fluorinated and ALD-derived 100 nm ZrO2 coatings (Group C). A circulating stress of 1-10 N was applied to the distal bone segment, and a 4-week simulated body fluid immersion test was employed to study the remaining material volume and the mechanical properties of the different groups. Compared with Group A and Group B, the degradation rate of magnesium alloy plates and screws' head regions was significantly slowed down under the protection of duplex MgF2/ZrO2 coatings (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the degradation rate of the screw shaft region between groups (p = 0.077). In contrast to fluoride coatings, duplex MgF2/ZrO2 coatings maintained the mechanical strength of magnesium alloy plates and screws after a 14 day in vitro SBF immersion test. We conclude that duplex MgF2/ZrO2 coatings exhibited a certain protective effect on the Mg alloy plates and screws under physiological stress conditions.

Inflammatory response toward a Mg-based metallic biomaterial implanted in a rat femur fracture model. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00354-4. [PMID: 38969080 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
The immune system plays an important role in fracture healing, by modulating the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses occurring instantly upon injury. An imbalance in these responses can lead to adverse outcomes, such as non-union of fractures. Implants are used to support and stabilize complex fractures. Biodegradable metallic implants offer the potential to avoid a second surgery for implant removal, unlike non-degradable implants. However, considering our dynamic immune system it is important to conduct in-depth studies on the immune response to these implants in living systems. In this study, we investigated the immune response to Mg and Mg-10Gd in vivo in a rat femur fracture model with external fixation. In vivo imaging using liposomal formulations was used to monitor the fluorescence-related inflammation over time. We combine ex vivo methods with our in vivo study to evaluate and understand the systemic and local effects of the implants on the immune response. We observed no significant local or systemic effects in the Mg-10Gd implanted group compared to the SHAM and Mg implanted groups over time. Our findings suggest that Mg-10Gd is a more compatible implant material than Mg, with no adverse effects observed in the early phase of fracture healing during our 4-week study. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Degradable metallic implants in form of Mg and Mg-10Gd intramedullary pins were assessed in a rat femur fracture model, alongside a non-implanted SHAM group with special respect to the potential to induce an inflammatory response. This pre-clinical study combines innovative non-invasive in vivo imaging techniques associated with multimodal, ex vivo cellular and molecular analytics. The study contributes to the development and evaluation of degradable biometals and their clinical application potential. The study results indicate that Mg-10Gd did not exhibit any significant harmful effects compared to the SHAM and Mg groups.

Possible Applications for a Biodegradable Magnesium Membrane in Alveolar Ridge Augmentation-Retrospective Case Report with Two Years of Follow-Up. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1698.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: A rigid, resorbable magnesium membrane was recently developed, combining the advantages of resorbable and non-resorbable membranes. Our aim was to describe the application of this membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). Materials and Methods: This case report described the treatment and 3D evaluation of two cases utilizing a resorbable magnesium barrier membrane. In Case #1, GBR was performed with a bilayer tunnel flap. The magnesium barrier was placed fixed subperiosteally through remote vertical incisions. In Case #2, GBR was performed using a split-thickness flap design. Volumetric and linear hard tissue alterations were assessed by 3D cone-beam computed tomography subtraction analysis, as well as with conventional intraoral radiography. Results: Case #1 showed a volumetric hard tissue gain of 0.12 cm3, whereas Case #2 presented a 0.36 cm3 hard tissue gain. No marginal peri-implant hard tissue loss could be detected at the two-year follow-up. Conclusions: The application of conventional resorbable collagen membranes would be difficult in either of the cases presented. However, the rigid structure of the magnesium membrane allowed for the limitations of conventional resorbable membranes to be overcome.

Abstract
The craniofacial region is composed of 23 bones, which provide crucial function in keeping the normal position of brain and eyeballs, aesthetics of the craniofacial complex, facial movements, and visual function. Given the complex geometry and architecture, craniofacial bone defects not only affect the normal craniofacial structure but also may result in severe craniofacial dysfunction. Therefore, the exploration of rapid, precise, and effective reconstruction of craniofacial bone defects is urgent. Recently, developments in advanced bone tissue engineering bring new hope for the ideal reconstruction of the craniofacial bone defects. This report, presenting a first-time comprehensive review of recent advances of biomaterials in craniofacial bone tissue engineering, overviews the modification of traditional biomaterials and development of advanced biomaterials applying to craniofacial reconstruction. Challenges and perspectives of biomaterial development in craniofacial fields are discussed in the end.

Abstract
The barrier membrane plays an extremely critical role in guided bone regeneration (GBR), which determines the success or failure of GBR technology. In order to obtain barrier membranes with high mechanical strength and degradability, some researchers have focused on degradable magnesium alloys. However, the degradation rate of pure Mg-based materials in body fluids is rather fast, thus posing an urgent problem to be solved in oral clinics. In this study, a novel micro-arc oxidation (MAO) surface-treated pure Mg membrane was prepared. Electrochemical tests, immersion experiments and in vivo experiments were carried out to investigate its potential use as a barrier membrane. The experimental results showed that the corrosion resistance of a pure Mg membrane treated by MAO is better than that of the uncoated pure Mg. The results of cell experiments showed no obvious cytotoxicity, which suggests the enhanced differentiation of osteoblasts. At the same time, the MAO-Mg membrane showed better biological activity than the pure Ti membrane in the early stage of implantation, exhibiting relatively good bone regeneration ability. Consequently, the MAO membrane has been proven to possess good application prospects for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Reconstruction of defects in the maxillofacial region following traumatic injuries, craniofacial deformities, defects from tumor removal, or infections in the maxillofacial area represents a major challenge for surgeons. Various materials have been studied for the reconstruction of defects in the maxillofacial area. Biodegradable metals have been widely researched due to their excellent biological properties. Magnesium (Mg) and Mg-based materials have been extensively studied for tissue regeneration procedures due to biodegradability, mechanical characteristics, osteogenic capacity, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties. The aim of this review was to analyze and discuss the applications of Mg and Mg-based materials in reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgery in the fields of guided bone regeneration, dental implantology, fixation of facial bone fractures and soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
An ideal fixation system for guided bone (GBR) regeneration in oral surgery must fulfil several criteria that includes the provision of adequate mechanical fixation, complete resorption when no longer needed, complete replacement by bone, as well as be biocompatible and have a good clinical manageability. For the first time, a biodegradable magnesium fixation screw made of the magnesium alloy WZM211 with a MgF2 coating has been designed and tested to fulfill these criteria. Adequate mechanical fixation was shown for the magnesium fixation screw in several benchtop tests that directly compared the magnesium fixation screw with an equivalent polymeric resorbable device. Results demonstrated slightly superior mechanical properties of the magnesium device in comparison to the polymeric device even after 4 weeks of degradation. Biocompatibility of the magnesium fixation screw was demonstrated in several in vitro and in vivo tests. Degradation of the magnesium screw was investigated in in vitro and in vivo tests, where it was found that the screw is resorbed slowly and completely after 52 weeks, providing adequate fixation in the early critical healing phase. Overall, the magnesium fixation screw demonstrates all of the key properties required for an ideal fixation screw of membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgeries. The first comprehensive report on experimental data for a biodegradable metallic fixation pin for use in oral surgery is presented. Results demonstrated superior mechanical properties of the Mg fixation pin in comparison to the polymeric pin even after 4 weeks of degradation. The MgF2 coated Mg pin made of alloy WZM211 has a slow corrosion rate with a service time of 4 weeks and is fully resorped at 52 weeks after implantation.

Biodegradable magnesium barrier membrane used for guided bone regeneration in dental surgery. Bioact Mater 2022; 14:152-168.

Abstract
Barrier membranes are commonly used as part of the dental surgical technique guided bone regeneration (GBR) and are often made of resorbable collagen or non-resorbable materials such as PTFE. While collagen membranes do not provide sufficient mechanical protection of the covered bone defect, titanium reinforced membranes and non-resorbable membranes need to be removed in a second surgery. Thus, biodegradable GBR membranes made of pure magnesium might be an alternative. In this study a biodegradable pure magnesium (99.95%) membrane has been proven to have all of the necessary requirements for an optimal regenerative outcome from both a mechanical and biological perspective. After implantation, the magnesium membrane separates the regenerating bone from the overlying, faster proliferating soft tissue. During the initial healing period, the membrane maintained a barrier function and space provision, whilst retaining the positioning of the bone graft material within the defect space. As the magnesium metal corroded, it formed a salty corrosion layer and local gas cavities, both of which extended the functional lifespan of the membrane barrier capabilities. During the resorption of the magnesium metal and magnesium salts, it was observed that the membrane became surrounded and then replaced by new bone. After the membrane had completely resorbed, only healthy tissue remained. The in vivo performance study demonstrated that the magnesium membrane has a comparable healing response and tissue regeneration to that of a resorbable collagen membrane. Overall, the magnesium membrane demonstrated all of the ideal qualities for a barrier membrane used in GBR treatment. First report on a biodegradable metallic barrier membrane for use in oral surgery is presented. The mechanical stability of the metallic barrier membrane provides a careful shielding of the augmented bone defect. Full resorption of metallic barrier membrane and bone healing is completed long before current standards for second surgical patient treatment.

Biodegradation of a Magnesium Alloy Fixation Screw Used in a Guided Bone Regeneration Model in Beagle Dogs. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15124111.

Abstract
Nowadays, the most commonly used fixation systems are non-resorbable, but new resorbable magnesium alloy fixation screws have been introduced recently. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the magnesium fixation screw and the commonly used non-resorbable titanium screw in an animal model. Four 3-wall defect sites were covered with collagen membranes in the mandible of twenty beagle dogs (two sites on the left and two on the right). Each membrane was fixed with either four magnesium screws or four titanium screws. Post-operative follow-up revealed the expected observations such as transient inflammation and pain. Both groups showed a good healing response, with no differences between groups. Micro-CT analysis showed no significant difference between groups in terms of BV/TV or soft tissue volume. The void volume in the magnesium fixation screw group continued to decrease on average between the different timepoints, but not significantly. Furthermore, a gradual progression of the degradation process of the magnesium screws was observed in the same group. Magnesium screws and titanium screws showed equal performance in tissue regeneration according to GBR principles. An additional advantage of magnesium screws is their resorbable nature, which eliminates the need for a second surgical step to remove the screws.

Abstract
A magnesium alloy containing essential, non-toxic, biodegradable elements such as Ca and Zn has been fabricated using a novel twin-roll casting process (TRC). Microstructure, mechanical properties, in vivo corrosion and biocompatibility have been assessed and compared to the properties of the rare earth (RE) element containing WE43 alloy. TRC Mg-0.5 wt% Zn- 0.5 wt% Ca exhibited fine grains with an average grain size ranging from 70 to 150 μm. Mechanical properties of a TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy showed an ultimate tensile strength of 220 MPa and ductility of 9.3%. The TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy showed a degradation rate of 0.51 ± 0.07 mm/y similar to that of the WE43 alloy (0.47 ± 0.09 mm/y) in the rat model after 1 week of implantation. By week 4 the biodegradation rates of both alloys studied were lowered and stabilized with fewer gas pockets around the implant. The histological analysis shows that both WE43 and TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy triggered comparable tissue healing responses at respective times of implantation. The presence of more organized scarring tissue around the TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloys suggests that the biodegradation of the RE-free alloy may be more conducive to the tissue proliferation and remodelling process. Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy plates were fabricated by a twin-roll casting (TRC) process. TRC alloy showed an ultimate strength and elongation of 221 ± 2 MPa and 9 ± 2%. Gas development during in vivo degradation was analysed using μ-CT techniques. Histological analysis revealed a good biocompatibility and promoted healing.

[PMID: 35757033 PMCID: PMC9214802 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnesium-based implants (Mg) became an attractive candidate in orthopedic surgery due to their valuable properties, such as osteoconductivity, biodegradability, elasticity and mechanical strength. However, previous studies on biodegradable and non-biodegradable metal implants showed that these materials are not inert when placed in vivo as they interact with host defensive mechanisms. The aim of this study was to systematically review available in vivo studies with Mg-based implants that investigated immunological reactions to these implants. The following questions were raised: Do different types of Mg-based implants in terms of shape, size and alloying system cause different extent of immune response? and; Are there missing links to properly understand immunological reactions upon implantation and degradation of Mg-based implants? The database used for the literature research was PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine) and it was undertaken in the end of 2021. The inclusion criteria comprised (i) in vivo studies with bony implantation of Mg-based implants and (ii) analysis of the presence of local immune cells or systemic inflammatory parameters. We further excluded any studies involving coated Mg-implants, in vitro studies, and studies in which the implants had no bone contact. The systematic search process was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Initially, the search yielded 225 original articles. After reading each article, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 articles were included in the systematic review. In the available studies, Mg-based implants were not found to cause any severe inflammatory reaction, and only a mild to moderate inflammatory potential was attributed to the material. The timeline of foreign body giant cell formation showed to be different between the reviewed studies. The variety of degradation kinetics of different tested implants and discrepancies in studies regarding the time points of immunological investigations impair the conclusion of immunological reactions. This may be induced by different physical properties of an implant such as size, shape and alloying system. Further research is essential to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which implant degradation affects the immune system. Also, better understanding will facilitate the decision of patients whether to undergo surgery with new device implantation.

Abstract
For the surgical technique of guided bone regeneration (GBR), the choice of available barrier membranes has until recently not included an option that is mechanically strong, durable, synthetic and resorbable. The most commonly used resorbable membranes are made from collagen, which are restricted in their mechanical strength. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degradation and regeneration potential of a magnesium membrane compared to a collagen membrane. In eighteen beagle dogs, experimental bone defects were filled with bovine xenograft and covered with either a magnesium membrane or collagen membrane. The health status of the animals was regularly monitored and recorded. Following sacrifice, the hemimandibles were prepared for micro-CT (μ-CT) analysis. Complications during healing were observed in both groups, but ultimately, the regenerative outcome was similar between groups. The μ-CT parameters showed comparable results in both groups in terms of new bone formation at all four time points. In addition, the μ-CT analysis showed that the greatest degradation of the magnesium membranes occurred between 1 and 8 weeks and continued until week 16. The proportion of new bone within the defect site was similar for both treatment groups, indicating the potential for the magnesium membrane to be used as a viable alternative to collagen membranes. Overall, the new magnesium membrane is a functional and safe membrane for the treatment of defects according to the principles of GBR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Research in the field of lower extremity vascular disease has increased in popularity over the years. To adequately characterize and validate the effectiveness of vascular interventions, in vivo experimentation in large animals is required. Thus, it is necessary to find a method to detect the shape and density of blood vessels in the lower extremities that can evaluate and verify the treatment measures' effectiveness and have high accuracy and repeatability. This study characterized factors that determined both the accuracy and overall value of digital subtraction angiography in lower limb arteriography using a canine animal model. METHODS Six beagle dogs were anesthetized and immobilized on the motorized table. The femoral artery was accessed using an indwelling needle. A bolus of contrast agent was injected into the access site, and digital subtraction angiography with bolus chase technology was used to collect contrast images for analysis. At the end of the procedure, the anesthetized dogs were euthanized using an overdose of potassium chloride. After confirming the euthanasia of the dogs, the cadavers were taken to the experimental animal center of Xinjiang Medical University and processed by qualified institutional personnel. RESULTS The final arteriographic images of the hind limbs from all six dogs were precise, and the branches of small vessels could be distinguished without any visible artifacts. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that arteriography using digital subtraction angiography could reveal the shape and density of blood vessels in canine animal models. This method has great potential to significantly improve research related to limb ischemia due to its simple and reproducible results.

Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial regions have complex anatomical structures and different tissue types, which have vital health and aesthetic functions. Biodegradable metals (BMs) is a promising bioactive materials to treat oral and maxillofacial diseases. This review summarizes the research status and future research directions of BMs for oral and maxillofacial applications. Mg-based BMs and Zn-based BMs for bone fracture fixation systems, and guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes, are discussed in detail. Zn-based BMs with a moderate degradation rate and superior mechanical properties for GBR membranes show great potential for clinical translation. Fe-based BMs have a relatively low degradation rate and insoluble degradation products, which greatly limit their application and clinical translation. Furthermore, we proposed potential future research directions for BMs in the oral and maxillofacial regions, including 3D printed BM bone scaffolds, surface modification for BMs GBR membranes, and BMs containing hydrogels for cartilage regeneration, soft tissue regeneration, and nerve regeneration. Taken together, the progress made in the development of BMs in oral and maxillofacial regions has laid a foundation for further clinical translation.

Abstract
Biodegradable metals hold promises for bone fracture repair. Their clinical translation requires pre-clinical evaluations including animal studies, which demonstrate the safety and performance of such materials prior to clinical trials. This evidence-based study investigates and analyzes the performance of bone fractures repair as well as degradation properties of biodegradable metals in animal models. Data were carefully collected after identification of population, interventions, comparisons, outcomes and study design, as well as inclusion criteria combining biodegradable metals and animal study. Twelve publications on pure Mg, Mg alloys and Zn alloys were finally included and reviewed after extraction from a collected database of 2122 publications. Compared to controls of traditional non-degradable metals or resorbable polymers, biodegradable metals showed mixed or contradictory outcomes of fracture repair and degradation in animal models. Although quantitative meta-analysis cannot be conducted because of the data heterogeneity, this systematic review revealed that the quality of evidence for biodegradable metals to repair bone fractures in animal models is 'very low'. Recommendations to standardize the animal studies of biodegradable metals were proposed. Evidence-based biomaterials research could help to both identify reliable scientific evidence and ensure future clinical translation of biodegradable metals for bone fracture repair.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have received attention in the literature as potential biomaterials for use as absorbable implants in oral and maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery applications. This study aimed to evaluate the available clinical studies related to patients who underwent bone fixation (patients), and received conventional fixation (intervention), in comparison to absorbable metals (comparison), in terms of follow-up and complications (outcomes). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement and PROSPERO (CRD42020188654), PICO question, ROBINS-I, and ROB scales. The relative risk (RR) of complications and failures were calculated considering a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Eight studies (three randomized clinical trial (RCT), one retrospective studies, two case-control studies, and two prospective studies) involving 468 patients, including 230 Mg screws and 213 Titanium (Ti) screws, were analyzed. The meta-analysis did not show any significant differences when comparing the use of Mg and Ti screws for complications (p = 0.868). The estimated complication rate was 13.3% (95% CI: 8.3% to 20.6%) for the comparison group who received an absorbable Mg screw. The use of absorbable metals is feasible for clinical applications in bone surgery with equivalent outcomes to standard metal fixation devices.

Abstract
Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment is a simple and effective technique to improve the corrosion resistance for magnesium alloys. However, the presence of micro-pores and cracks on the coatings provides paths for corrosive ions to penetrate into and react with the substrate, limiting the long-term corrosion resistance. In this paper, we designed a composite coating with which GelMA hydrogel coatings with varying thicknesses were prepared on the surface of MAO-coated magnesium alloys via a dip-coating method, aiming to improve the biocorrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The surface morphology, the chemical composition of GelMA hydrogels, and the crystallographic structure of magnesium alloys were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of all samples were evaluated through electrochemical and biological experiments. The results demonstrated that the addition of GelMA hydrogel could effectively seal the pores and improve the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of MAO-coated magnesium alloys, especially for the sample with one layer of GelMA hydrogel, showing high cell proliferation rate, and its current density (Icorr) was two orders of magnitude lower than that of the MAO coating. Besides, the balance mechanism between corrosion and protection was proposed. As a result, the GelMA hydrogel coatings are beneficial to the application of MAO-coated magnesium alloys in bone tissue engineering and other fields.

Abstract
Clinical application of osteofixation materials is essential in performing maxillofacial surgeries requiring rigid fixation of bone such as trauma surgery, orthognathic surgery, and skeletal reconstruction. In addition to the use of titanium plates and screws, clinical applications and attempts using bioabsorbable materials for osteofixation surgery are increasing with demands to avoid secondary surgery for the removal of plates and screws. Synthetic polymeric plates and screws were developed, reaching satisfactory physical properties comparable to those made with titanium. Although these polymeric materials are actively used in clinical practice, there remain some limitations to be improved. Due to questionable physical strength and cumbersome molding procedures, interests in resorbable metal materials for osteofixation emerged. Magnesium (Mg) gained attention again in the last decade as a new metallic alternative, and numerous animal studies to evaluate the possibility of clinical application of Mg-based materials are being conducted. Thanks to these researches and studies, vascular application of Mg-based biomaterials was successful; however, further studies are required for the clinical application of Mg-based biomaterials for osteofixation, especially in the facial skeleton. The review provides an overview of bioabsorbable osteofixation materials in maxillofacial bone surgery from polymer to Mg.

Laser additive manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium alloy WE43: A detailed microstructure analysis. Acta Biomater 2019; 98:36-49. [PMID: 31132536 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.05.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Revised: 04/30/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
WE43, a magnesium alloy containing yttrium and neodymium as main alloying elements, has become a well-established bioresorbable implant material. Implants made of WE43 are often fabricated by powder extrusion and subsequent machining, but for more complex geometries laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) appears to be a promising alternative. However, the extremely high cooling rates and subsequent heat treatment after solidification of the melt pool involved in this process induce a drastic change in microstructure, which governs mechanical properties and degradation behaviour in a way that is still unclear. In this study we investigated the changes in the microstructure of WE43 induced by LPBF in comparison to that of cast WE43. We did this mainly by electron microscopy imaging, and chemical mapping based on energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in conjunction with electron diffraction for the identification of the various phases. We identified different types of microstructure: an equiaxed grain zone in the center of the laser-induced melt pool, and a lamellar zone and a partially melted zone at its border. The lamellar zone presents dendritic lamellae lying on the Mg basal plane and separated by aligned Nd-rich nanometric intermetallic phases. They appear as globular particles made of Mg3Nd and as platelets made of Mg41Nd5 occurring on Mg prismatic planes. Yttrium is found in solid solution and in oxide particles stemming from the powder particles' shell. Due to the heat influence on the lamellar zone during subsequent laser passes, a strong texture developed in the bulk material after substantial grain growth. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Additively manufactured magnesium alloys have the potential of providing a major breakthrough in bone-reconstruction surgery by serving as biodegradable porous scaffold material. This study is the first to report in detail on the microstructure development of the established magnesium alloy WE43 fabricated by the additive manufacturing process of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). It presents unique microstructural features which originate from the laser-melting process. An in situ transmission electron microscopy heating experiment further demonstrates the development of two distinct intermetallic phases in additively manufactured WE43 alloys. While one forms already during solidification, the other precipitates due to the ongoing heat treatment during LPBF processing.

Abstract
This report reviews the effects of chemical, physical, and mechanical surface treatments on the degradation behavior of Mg alloys via their influence on the roughness and surface morphology. Many studies have been focused on technically-used AZ alloys and a few investigations regarding the surface treatment of biodegradable and Al-free Mg alloys, especially under physiological conditions. These treatments tailor the surface roughness, homogenize the morphology, and decrease the degradation rate of the alloys. Conversely, there have also been reports which showed that rough surfaces lead to less pitting and good cell adherence. Besides roughness, there are many other parameters which are much more important than roughness when regarding the degradation behavior of an alloy. These studies, which indicate the relationship between surface treatments, roughness and degradation, require further elaboration, particularly for biomedical Mg alloy applications.

Vallittu PK. An overview of development and status of fiber-reinforced composites as dental and medical biomaterials. ACTA BIOMATERIALIA ODONTOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA 2018; 4:44-55. [PMID: 29707613 PMCID: PMC5917305 DOI: 10.1080/23337931.2018.1457445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Fibr-reinforced composites (FRC) have been used successfully for decades in many fields of science and engineering applications. Benefits of FRCs relate to physical properties of FRCs and versatile production methods, which can be utilized. Conventional hand lamination of prefabricated FRC prepregs is utilized still most commonly in fabrication of dental FRC devices but CAD-CAM systems are to be come for use in certain production steps of dental constructions and medical FRC implants. Although metals, ceramics and particulate filler resin composites have successfully been used as dental and medical biomaterials for decades, devices made out of these materials do not meet all clinical requirements. Only little attention has been paid to FRCs as dental materials and majority of the research in dental field has been focusing on particulate filler resin composites and in medical biomaterial research to biodegradable polymers. This is paradoxical because FRCs can potentially resolve many of the problems related to traditional isotropic dental and medical materials. This overview reviews the rationale and status of using biostable glass FRC in applications from restorative and prosthetic dentistry to cranial surgery. The overview highlights also the critical material based factors and clinical requirement for the succesfull use of FRCs in dental reconstructions.
