Collagen is regarded as one of the most useful biomaterials. The excellent biocompatibility
and safety due to its biological characteristics, such as biodegradability and weak …

The morbidity associated with autogenous bone graft harvest and the recent concern
regarding the transmission of live virus through use of allografts, have been the impetus for …

The development of bone tissue engineering is directly related to changes in materials
technology. While the inclusion of materials requirements is standard in the design process …

This article reviews nanocomposites focusing on their impact and recent trends in the field of
bone grafting. Although autogenous-and allogeneic-bone grafts have been used for a long …

Bone defects occur in a wide variety of clinical situations, and their reconstruction to provide
mechanical integrity to the skeleton is a necessary step in the patient's rehabilitation. The …

Over the past several decades, recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMPs)
have been the most extensively studied and widely used osteoinductive agents for clinical …

Previous studies have demonstrated the induction of bone in coral-derived porous
hydroxyapatite when implanted intramuscularly in baboons. This hydroxyapatite-induced …

A literature review was performed to survey the available information on the potential of
bone growth factors in skeletal reconstruction in the maxillofacial area. The aim of this …

Recently, the first clinical reports on bone regeneration by two recombinant human bone
morphogenetic proteins (rhBMPs), BMP-2 and BMP-7 (also named osteogenic protein-1, OP …

Over the past 30 years, an enormous array of biomaterials proposed as ideal scaffolds for
cell growth have emerged, yet few have demonstrated clinical efficacy. Biomaterials …
