Correction to “Nanosecond Laser‐Assisted Direct Integration of Whitlockite onto Bone Implant Surfaces for Enhanced Bone Regeneration”
in the section 2.3 one paragraph and one line have been repeated.So, the updated paragraph is as follows:Histological evaluation using Goldner's Trichrome staining revealed distinct differences in bone regeneration and implant integration across the groups over time.At both 2 and 8 weeks post-implantation, the MCP/WH-coated implants significantly enhanced new bone generation and exhibited closer bone-to-implant contact compared to the CP-and MCP-coated groups.Quantitative measurements of the bone-implant gap at 2 weeks post-implantation showed that the Ti group had the widest gap (18.917 10.35 m), followed by CP (7.652 7.154 m), MCP (6.574 9.551 m), and MCP/WH (6.056 1.802 m) (Figure 5c,d).At 8 weeks post-implantation, this trend became more pronounced.The MCP/WH group exhibited a markedly reduced gap of 1.481 2.789 m, representing a nearly 80% reduction from the gap value measured at 2 weeks post-implantation.In contrast, the Ti, CP, and MCP groups showed minimal improvement, with gaps of 19.825 6.697 m, 7.599 5.038 m, and 6.117 3.976 m, respectively (Figure 5e,f).Furthermore, new bone formation was analyzed based on GT staining.At week 2, the new bone volume was 6.761 10.440% for Ti, 11.369 15.848% for CP, 20.280 16.074% for MCP, and 27.601 23.681% for MCP/WH.The MCP/WH group showed the highest bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) value (Figure S7, Supporting Information).At week 8, the new bone volume further increased in all groups: 42.992 25.289% for Ti, 52.510 29.120% for CP, 54.197 26.213% for MCP, and 60.773 35.038% for MCP/WH.These results highlight the MCP/WH coating's accelerated bone healing and excellent implant integration.
