A woven fiber optics dental post includes a post body and a woven fiber component. The post body includes a post face, an irradiation receiving portion, and a bottom. The woven fiber component is provided within the post body. The woven fiber component is formed by intertwining a plurality of fiber optics members. A light receiving end portion and a light emitting end portion are respectively composed of a plurality of light receiving ends and light emitting ends of the fiber optics members. The light receiving end portion is appeared on the irradiation receiving portion of the post body for having the woven fiber component receiving a light irradiated at the irradiation receiving portion, and the light emitting end portion is appeared on the post face and/or the bottom of the post body for having the light received by the woven fiber component transmitting to the light emitting end portion to be emitted out of the post face and/or the bottom. Thereby the structure strength and the intensity and the uniformity of the light emitted from the woven fiber optics dental post can be enhanced.

The present invention provides a bone connection material that includes an internal layer. The internal layer is formed by braiding a plurality of filaments. The internal layer that is formed by braiding filaments is resistant to lateral shearing forces and may provide flexibility so as to achieve wide applications. Further, the present invention overcomes the drawback of the conventionally used metallic materials that are rigid and inelastic and also overcomes the problem of polylactic acid material of being brittle. Thus, the bone formed according to the present invention is close to a natural bone and is more suitable for uses in portions where frequent movements are made and scaffolds of stem cells.
