After tooth loss, bone resorption is irreversible, leaving the area without adequate bone
volume for successful implant treatment. Bone grafting is the only solution to reverse dental …

To induce bone regeneration there is a complex cascade of growth factors. Growth factors
such as recombinant BMP-2, BMP-7, and PDGF are FDA-approved therapies in bone …

Over the last few years, biopolymers have attracted great interest in tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine due to the great diversity of their chemical, mechanical, and physical …

Abstract β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is one the most used and potent synthetic bone
graft substitute. It is not only osteoconductive, but also osteoinductive. These properties …

In designing porous scaffolds, permeability is essential to consider as a function of cell
migration and bone tissue regeneration. Good permeability has been achieved by …

Bone healing is an impressive ability of the human body, but critical-sized bone defects
require external intervention. Bioceramic scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility and …

Bone fractures are the most common traumatic injuries in humans. The repair of bone
fractures is a regenerative process that recapitulates many of the biological events of …

Despite considerable advances in microsurgical techniques over the past decades, bone
tissue remains a challenging arena to obtain a satisfying functional and structural restoration …

Hydrogels are versatile biomaterials characterized by three-dimensional, cross-linked,
highly hydrated polymeric networks. These polymers exhibit a great variety of biochemical …

Electrospinning provides a versatile technique for the preparation of matrices with
micro/nanoscopic fibers. The non-woven polymer materials produced by electrospinning …
