Özet:

Biomaterials play an active role in tissue regeneration and are widely used in the treatment of tissue transplantation applications for the repair of damaged hard tissue, bone cancer, bone loss due to skeletal trauma and infection, bone fractures and congenital deformities of the facial and skull bones. Since autografts and allografts have many disadvantages, there is a need for synthetic bone grafts and biomaterials. Many bioceramic materials such as beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and calcium sulfate are widely used in bone formation. Since beta-TCP-based bone grafts are used in the form of granules, silicate reinforced flexible strips are used in orthopedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the mechanical properties of silicate-doped flexible biomaterials, taking into account their biocompatibility and their positive effects on tissue regeneration. In order to achieve the stated purpose, the methods planned to be followed, tensile tests will be applied for the mechanical properties of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image for its morphology. In this study, it was found that silicate-doped flexible biomaterials have a homogeneous and porous structure. In addition, the obtained mechanical test results and the functionality of the silicate-doped flexible biomaterial during bone regeneration according to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 5833 and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D638 standard have been demonstrated.
