Review
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a well-known calcium phosphate ingredient comparable to human bone tissue. HA has exciting applications in many fields, especially biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, osteogenesis, and dental implants. Unfortunately, hydroxyapatite-based nanomaterials are synthesized by conventional methods using reagents that are not environmentally friendly and are expensive. Therefore, extensive efforts have been made to establish a simple, efficient, and green method to form nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) biofunctional materials with significant biocompatibility, bioactivity, and mechanical strength. Several types of biowaste have proven to be a source of calcium in forming HA, including using chicken eggshells, fish bones, and beef bones. This systematic literature review discusses the possibility of replacing synthetic chemical reagents, synthetic pathways, and toxic capping agents with a green template to synthesize NHA. This review also shed insight on the simple green manufacture of NHA with controlled shape and size.

Meta-Analysis Review
BACKGROUND
Despite its increasing usage of facial applications, there is a paucity of objective data regarding calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA).
OBJECTIVES
To systematically evaluate the complications from CaHA injection for facial soft tissue augmentation.
METHODS
Published studies on CaHA injection for facial soft tissue enhancement were identified through searches of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Trial databases. Only randomized, controlled trials comparing CaHA injection to either placebo or an active comparator for facial cosmetic use were included. The outcome measures were the count (n) and frequency (%) of each complication, including edema (swelling), erythema (redness), ecchymosis (bruising), pain, pruritus (itching), hematomas, nodules, and extrusions.
RESULTS
Four studies on nasolabial fold (NLF) injection of CaHA consisting of two subgroups were included: (i) a CaHA-lidocaine vs CaHA subgroup and (ii) a CaHA vs hyaluronic acid (HA) subgroup. The addition of lidocaine to CaHA therapy displayed no significant effect on edema (RR (95% CI): 1.07 (0.94-1.21), P = .311), erythema (RR (95% CI): 0.91 (0.66-1.24), P = .544), ecchymosis (RR (95% CI): 1.04 (0.71-1.52), P = .843), pain (RR (95% CI): 0.88 (0.58-1.33), P = .553), or pruritus (RR (95% CI): 0.82 (0.45-1.50), P = .515). There was no significant difference between CaHA vs HA for hematomas (RR (95% CI): 0.24 (0.01-4.31), P = .332) or nodules (RR (95% CI): 0.18 (0.01-6.62), P = .353). There was no significant publication bias detected in either subgroup (Begg's test P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
These findings support the addition of lidocaine to NLF injection of CaHA and suggest an equivalence between CaHA and HA with respect to hematoma and nodule formation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2: Risk.

Meta-Analysis
A systematic review on the effect of inorganic surface coatings in large animal models and meta-analysis on tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite on periimplant bone formation.
The aim of the present systematic review was to analyse studies using inorganic implant coatings and, in a meta-analysis, the effect of specifically tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) implant surface coatings on bone formation according to the PRISMA criteria. Inclusion criteria were the comparison to rough surfaced titanium implants in large animal studies at different time points of healing. Forty studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Fifteen of these analyzed the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) around the most investigated inorganic titanium implant coatings, namely TCP and HA, and were included in the meta-analysis. The results of the TCP group show after 14 days a BIC being 3.48% points lower compared with the reference surface. This difference in BIC decreases to 0.85% points after 21-28 days. After 42-84 days, the difference in BIC of 13.79% points is in favor of the TCP-coatings. However, the results are not statistically significant, in part due to the fact that the variability between the studies increased over time. The results of the HA group show a significant difference in mean BIC of 6.94% points after 14 days in favor of the reference surface. After 21-28 days and 42-84 days the difference in BIC is slightly in favor of the test group with 1.53% points and 1.57% points, respectively, lacking significance. In large animals, there does not seem to be much effect of TCP-coated or HA-coated implants over uncoated rough titanium implants in the short term.

Review
Hydroxyapatite [HA, Ca(PO)(OH)], with its robust biocompatibility and bioactivity, has found extensive utility in bone grafting, replacement therapies, and supplemental medical materials. HA is highly regarded for its osteoconductive properties because it boasts hydrophilicity, nontoxicity, non-allergenicity, and non-mutagenicity. Nevertheless, HA's intrinsic mechanical weakness has spurred efforts to enhance its properties. This enhancement is achieved through ion incorporation, with elements such as magnesium, zinc, lithium, strontium, boron, and others being integrated into the HA structure. In the domain of orthopedics, HA-based scaffolds have emerged as a solution for addressing prevalent issues like bone deformities and defects stemming from congenital anomalies, injuries, trauma, infections, or tumors. The fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds (3D scaffolds) has enabled advancements in bone regeneration and replacement, with a focus on practical applications such as repairing calvarial, skull, and femoral defects. In vitro and in vivo assessments have substantiated the effectiveness of 3D scaffolds for bone defect repair, regeneration, and tissue engineering. Beyond bone-related applications, scaffolds demonstrate versatility in enhancing cartilage healing and serving as bioimplants. The wide array of scaffold applications underscores their ongoing potential for further development in the realm of medical science.

Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVE
To compare the results of periodontal infrabony lesions treated using nanohydroxyapatite (NcHA) graft with other bone grafts (BGs).
METHODS
Four electronic databases were searched including PubMed (NLM), Embase (Ovid), Medline, and Dentistry and Oral Sciences (EBSCO). The inclusion criteria included randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs). The clinical results of NcHA were compared with other BGs. For clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, probing pocket depth (PPD) decrease, and gingival recession (REC) change, weighted averages and forest plots were computed.
RESULTS
Seven RCTs fulfilled the selection criteria that were included. When NcHA was compared to other BGs, no clinically significant differences were found in terms of each outcome assessed, except the REC change for synthetic BGs as compared to NcHA.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of an NcHA graft showed equivalent results compared to other types of BGs. To further validate these findings, future studies are required to compare the NcHA and various BGs over longer time periods and in furcation deficiencies.

Meta-Analysis
UNLABELLED
Since a long time, the preservation of the socket is emphasized for various reasons. Many studies have suggested the ridge preservation through socket grafting using various bone graft substitute materials (GSMs). But none of the studies suggested the material of choice for the grafting. So, the systematic review was planned to analyze the outcomes of synthetic hydroxyapatite (SHA) graft material for socket preservation. The review was aimed to determine the existing evidence for the use of SHA GSM for grafting and its usefulness.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The literature search was performed for the studies published in the English language independently by all four authors (search team) in the Medline database through the PubMed search engine for the past 5 years. The study involved predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria for the search. The final lists of clinical trials were analyzed to determine the existing evidence and suggested the mechanism of action.
REVIEW RESULTS
The search resulted in 117 titles. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of seven studies were found eligible for this systematic review. Out of seven, two studies were found eligible for meta-analysis whereas remaining included for the systematic review.
CONCLUSION
The meta-analysis favors socket grafting compared to control in terms of preservation of existing bone height and width. The SHA grafting showed successful bone regeneration with less connective tissue component. The histomorphometric evaluation showed a good bone regeneration associated with SHA than xenograft. Within the limitations of this meta-analysis, the synthetic GSM can be used for socket grafting.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
In the wake of increasing graft materials in the market and different origin raw material sources for the preparation of graft materials, clinicians are in dilemma for selection and its use. The success of grafting depends on the selection of appropriate material with a suitable calcium/phosphate (Ca/P) ratio. The review provided available evidence for the use of SHA.

Review
The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphological bone response in animal experiments by applying hydroxyapatite grafts in critical and non-critical size bone defects. Current report followed the guidelines established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Animal experiments were selected by assessing repair of bone defects with hydroxyapatite as bone graft and with blood clot only as control. Eight articles were identified in specialized literature and included in the meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was carried out with a random-effect model (p = 0.05). Subgroup analyses were further performed to investigate bone repair in critical and non-critical bone defects. Comprehensive analysis of bone repair outcome showed a statistically significant difference between hydroxyapatite and blood clot control (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed statistically significant difference for critical bone defects (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was reported in non-critical bone defects (p > 0.05). Although animal studies revealed a high risk of bias and results should be interpreted with caution, the literature suggests that non-critical bone defects may heal spontaneously and without the need of a bone graft. Conversely, when critical-size defects are present, the use of hydroxyapatite bone graft improves the bone repair process.

Review
This study aimed to review the laboratory methods on biomimetic remineralization of demineralized human dentine. A systematic search of the publications in the PubMed, TRIP, and Web of Science databases was performed. Titles and abstracts of initially identified publications were screened. Clinical trials, reviews, non-English articles, resin-dentine interface studies, hybrid layer studies, hybrid scaffolds studies, and irrelevant studies were excluded. The remaining papers were retrieved with full texts. Manual screening was conducted on the bibliographies of remaining papers to identify relevant articles. A total of 716 studies were found, and 690 were excluded after initial screening. Two articles were identified from the bibliographies of the remaining papers. After retrieving the full text, 23 were included in this systematic review. Sixteen studies used analogues to mimic the functions of non-collagenous proteins in biomineralization of dentine, and four studies used bioactive materials to induce apatite formation on demineralized dentine surface. One study used zinc as a bioactive element, one study used polydopamine, and another study constructed an agarose hydrogel system for biomimetic mineralization of dentine. Many studies reported success in biomimetic mineralization of dentine, including the use of non-collagenous protein analogues, bioactive materials, or elements and agarose hydrogel system.

Review
BACKGROUND
In recent years, there has been a rise in non-surgical rhinoplasty (NSR) due to its minimally invasive approach. As with all procedures, NSR can result in complications. Although rare, the consequences of complications can result in a devastating outcome and therefore an evidence-based approach to enable the recognition and management of NSR complications is required.
AIMS
This paper aims to review and appraise current literature to determine the evidence base for complications experienced with NSR including their causes and management.
METHODS
A systematic review was conducted using a PRISMA methodology. The PubMed and WebofScience databases were queried. Papers relating to the three most commonly used filler materials; hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxyapatite and collagen were collated.
RESULTS
Four hundred and ninety studies were identified in the initial literature search and after applying an inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 papers were included.
CONCLUSION
The results of this literature review showed a paucity of high-level evidence which may indicate underreporting of NSR complications. Although treatment is not always effective, it is clear that early recognition and treatment favors better outcomes with the potential for complete resolution in some cases. Immediate availability of hyaluronidase is important when undertaking NSR with HA as this review showed early use was critical in the management of serious complications such as vascular occlusion.
