The limited supply and morbidity associated with using autologous graft material led to the development of alternative bone grafting materials. Bioactive glass has a long history of biomedical use and has been shown to facilitate mineral deposition in vitro2,3. In order to take advantage of the surface bioactivity of bioactive ...
An ideal bone grafting material should be compatible with physiological environment, provoke osseous tissue formation and adapt degradation behaviour to new bone tissue growth. Calcium phosphates, a main inorganic constituent of the human hard tissue, are by far the best substitute materials for bone reconstruction because of their excellent ...
PEEK is biocompatible, similar in elasticity to bone, and radiolucent; however, it has been shown to be inert and does not integrate well with bone. Recent efforts have focused on increasing the bioactivity of PEEK by modifying the surface to improve the bone-implant interface. ...
Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. ...
