More.The demand for advanced cosmetics needed for remodeling to enhance beauty and fashion is on the increase in modern times. Also, some of the major parts of the human head that bring about great discomfort in the human body if not put in proper conditions are the teeth, nose, ears, and eyes. Among these parts, the teeth are highly susceptible to serious attack and damage at various stages of life. To date, pleasurable feeding would be practically impossible for humans without the aid of teeth that are responsible for cutting and chewing. However, as with other parts of the human body, there are always issues affecting the maxillofacial prosthesis and teeth, which are usually the result of aging, accidents, or diseases. These issues influence the rising need for the replacement of maxillofacial and dental bones with different materials that are developed to meet the structural and biocompatibility needs. Facial and dental implantations have brought about many modifications to human appearance in recent times. The implants are expected to be safe and acceptable to the body system as the patient grows since growth is crucial to human existence. As, growth is a function of the age group in human beings and, the three major age groups respond to growth at different rates. Thus, this review considers the influence of the human age group on maxillofacial and dental implants. The review provides an insight to the demand from each age group and the necessary guides on the selection of appropriate biomaterials as well as future expectations for maxillofacial and dental bones. This is essential because adequate knowledge of the age group of the patients who need maxillofacial and dental bones demands accurate prescriptions.

More.The success of dental operations with the use of implants mostly depends on the properties of the implant materials and their compatibility with the tissues of the human body. A number of physical compatibility criteria are known, which include biological stability, biocorrosion resistance, chemical stability, antimicrobial resistance, so an in-depth study of these criteria is relevant. Among the used implants, dielectric materials of natural and synthetic origin make up a large share. The peculiarity of such materials, in contrast to metal ones, is the ability to form, at a human body temperature of 310 K, low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of the microwave range, which interacts with the biotissue adjacent to the implant. Such EMR exerts an influence at the cellular level too. This effect of EMRin fact has not been investigated. The article discusses the physical basis of the formation of positive ("+") and negative ("-") microwave radiation flows that occur between the implant and the adjacent biotissue. By using a highly sensitive radiometric system, an experimental study of the radiation properties of the most used implant materials contacting with human body tissues was carried out. In the course of the research the levels of inherent radiation of a number of dental materials were determined, the calculation and evaluation of the coefficients of their radiation capacity was carried out. Comparing the radiation capacity of contacting dental materials with the level of radiation of the human body tissues made it possible to determine the level of their electromagnetic compatibility. Recommendations for the selection of the most used contacting dental materials based on the criterion of electromagnetic compatibility have been developed.
