Use of stereolithographic model in tooth autotransplantation and periodontal ligament stem cells for pulp revascularization and reinnervation to increase the success rate for tooth replacement in children KU Leuven
Loss of permanent teeth is a particular challenge in children considering that alveolar bone growth is not yet complete and treatment approaches should adapt to both growth and developmental changes in the oral region to have the potential for long-term survival. This could be realized via autotransplantation, which is a biological approach for tooth replacement in young children. Key factor for its success is the preservation of the ...

Flanders in Florence: Architectural Exchanges from North to South, 1400-1600 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
in the period 1400-1600. It does not argue for a marked Flemish influence on Florence’s Renaissance
architecture but intends to study how the intense commercial, artistic, political and military ties with
the Low Countries have enriched Florence’s broad architectural culture. While the impact of Flemish
painting ...

Development of reliable ceramics for hard tissue replacements: tooth enamel-inspired interdisciplinary research KU Leuven
Ceramics show attractive properties for various energy and health applications in high-demanding environments, from thermal barrier coatings, solid-state electrolytes to biomedical implants, but the long-standing issue of brittleness and crack sensitivity has severely limited their lifetime and reliability. Ceramics research starts to tap into the evolutionally fully adapted resistance mechanisms of natural materials with high damage ...

Not a (tooth-)fairy tale: towards a new innovative strategy to bioprint a tooth KU Leuven
The biofabrication of 3D biomimetic tissue analogs, which accurately mimic the properties of native tissue, have an enormous potential in biomedical applications (drug discovery, cancer research, regenerative medicine,…). A basic prerequisite for the survival, maturation and function of 3D engineered tissues is the establishment of blood vessels. The most critical challenge in complex tissue engineering is the integration of an organ-specific ...
Enamel-inspired materials for tooth restorations KU Leuven
TOOTH ENAMEL, serving as barrier against chewing wear, is the hardest, stiffest and most mineralized tissue of the human body. It is remarkably resilient and damage-resistant to cumulative deformation over extended lifetime, protecting the enclosed dentin and pulp. Synthetic dental materials however rarely match the performance of natural teeth. Irrespective of being metal, ceramic or polymer based, they generally have performance TRADE-OFFs ...
