Biomaterials in Maxillofacial Surgery: Membranes and Grafts
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Science (IJBS) - Year 2011, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Today, significant differences in the use of biomaterials (membranes and grafts) of animal or synthetic origin have yet to be reported. Nevertheless, some evidences suggest that synthetic materials have a lower risk of disease transmission. This review aims to assess the available informations on regenerative bone technique using reasorbable membranes and bone grafts. In particular, biocompatibility, immunological response, tissue reaction, reabsorption time and histological features of materials daily use in dentistry and in maxillofacial surgery were emphasized.
