Bone-Grafting Biomaterials Autografts, Hydroxyapatite, Calcium-Phosphates, and Biocomposites.pdf
In this chapter,we will discuss the interrelationship of bone-grafting materials andtheir applications in both medicine and dentistry implantology.As seen in Figure 1.1,bone-grafting materials are categorized in a global term of the biomaterials and further classified into,generally,natural bone-grafting materials,synthetic bone-grafting materials,and supporting membrane structures.In an area of application,traumatized bone healing is the most important process in both orthopedic implantsand dental implants via osteointegration.
