Alloplastic Bone Grafts

By Thukral Himanshu

Bone grafting techniques have been used by medical specialists for more than 100 years. Many factors are involved in the successful incorporation of a grafted material, including graft type, preparation site, vascularity, mechanical strength and pore size of the material. These parameters make the use of bone substitutes challenging in terms of reliability and predictability.The rationale behind the use of bone grafts or alloplastic materials is the assumption that the regrowth of alveolar bone would be stimulated because these materials may either contain bone forming cells (osteogenesis) or serve as a scaffold for bone formation (osteoconduction) because the matrix of the bone grafts contains bone-inducing substances (osteoinduction).This book contains helpful information on Alloplastic bone grafts, its relevant medical literature and studies done till date.
