Materials for Restoration of Bone Tissue

Abstract

Reconstruction and optimization of the process of healing of bone tissue defects using new materials and technologies is an urgent problem in medicine. This is due to a high level of orthopedic traumas and prevalence of dental and other socially significant diseases of bone tissue, leading to the dramatic incapacitation of population and accompanied by huge financial costs. This review analyzes the published data on osteoplastic materials for bone reconstructive surgery from traditional allo- and xenografts, titanium alloys, calcium phosphates and bioceramics to modern materials based on biocompatible and biodegradable polymers; the results obtained by the SFU Laboratory of New Biomaterials Biotechnology are presented
