Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …

Xerostomia and Salivary Gland Hypofunction: From Pathophysiology to Nanotechnology‑Enabled Regenerative Therapies
Abstract: Xerostomia, the subjective sensation of oral dryness, is a common yet frequently underrecognized condition with multifactorial etiology and substantial consequences for oral and systemic health. Salivary gland hypofunction underlies many, but not all, cases and may result from medication use, head and neck radiotherapy, autoimmune disease, systemic illnesses, or age-related and hormonal changes. Persistent xerostomia impairs mastication, swallowing, speech, taste, and sleep, and predisposes to dental caries, periodontal disease, oral …
