In many cases of traumatic bone injury, bone grafting is required. The primary source of graft
material is either autograft or allograft. The use of both material sources are well established…

Functional restoration following extensive bone injury often requires bone grafting. The primary
source of graft material is either autograft or allograft. The use of both material sources is …

Synthetic bone cements are commonly used in orthopaedic procedures to aid in bone
regeneration following trauma or disease. Polymeric cements like PMMA provide the mechanical …

Resorbable bone cements are replaced by bone through osteoclastic resorption and
osteoblastic new bone formation near the periphery. However, the ideal bone cement would be …

Background: Insufficient data exist on bone graft substitute materials efficacy; two thirds lack
any clinical data. This prospective animal study identified efficacy differences among …

Nearly half a million bone-grafting procedures occurred in the United States in the year 2000.
Tissue- engineered bone substitutes may mitigate difficulties associated with current …

In vitro studies of mechanical loads applied to three-dimensional tissue constructs are
important to the design and production of functional, engineered bone tissue. This study reports …

Treatment of mandibular osseous defects is a significant clinical challenge. Maintenance of
the height and width of the mandibular ridge is essential for placement of dental implants …

Ceramic/polymer composite bone grafts offer the potential advantage of combining the
osteoconductivity of ceramic component with the ductility of polymeric component, resulting in a …

Objective The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that a compression‐resistant
bone graft augmented with recombinant human morphogenetic protein‐2 (rhBMP‐2) will …
