Research over the past decade on the cell–biomaterial interface has shifted to the third
dimension. Besides mimicking the native extracellular environment by 3D cell culture, hydrogels …

Giant cell granuloma of the jaw is a benign lesion that may cause local destruction of bone
and displacement of teeth. The common therapy is curettage or resection, which may be …

Early oral cancer is preferably treated by surgery. Its complete removal is essential for
locoregional control and disease-free survival. Inadequate resection margins require adjuvant …

PURPOSE: To evaluate complications and success of mandibular reconstruction with free
fibula flaps, iliac crest flaps, and forearm flaps with reconstruction plates and to evaluate …

To facilitate true regeneration, a vascular graft should direct the evolution of a neovessel to
obtain the function of a native vessel. For this, scaffolds have to permit the formation of an …

For creating functional tissue analogues in tissue engineering, stem cells require very specific
3D microenvironments to thrive and mature. Demanding (stem) cell types that are used …

Background Primary Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised
by secretory gland dysfunction, for which no effective therapy is available. Based on the …

Background and Objectives Evaluation of mandibular reconstructions with free fibula flaps.
Identification of factors associated with major recipient site complications, that is, …

Objectives To date, a great number of tissue engineering strategies have been suggested
for alveolar cleft reconstruction; however, autologous bone grafting seems to remain the …

Objectives The treatment strategy of early stage oral squamous cell carcinoma’s (OSCC)
resected with close or involved margins is a returning point of discussion. In this study we …
