Bone Graft Substitutes
TL;DR: An extensive list of currently available alternatives to bone grafts is provided, along with a classification scheme that divides these bone graft substitutes into five groups depending on the primary material composition: allograft, cell, factor, ceramic and polymer as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional, bioactive, biodegradable, polymer-bioactive glass composite scaffolds with improved mechanical properties support collagen synthesis and mineralization of human osteoblast-like cells in vitro.
TL;DR: Degradable, porous, polymer bioactive glass composite possessing improved mechanical properties and osteointegrative potential compared to degradable polymers of poly(lactic acid-glycolic acid) alone is successfully developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and human cellular assessment of a novel microsphere-based tissue engineered scaffold for bone repair.
TL;DR: It was shown that an osteoconductive PLAGA scaffold with a pore system used as a reverse template to the structure of trabecular bone could be fabricated through the sintered microsphere method.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A degradable 3-dimensional osteoblast cell-polymer matrix designed as a construct for skeletal tissue regeneration and found to be suitable for use as a bioerodible scaffold for regeneration of skeletal tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
