The Clinical Application of Biocompatible Bone Grafts Steiner Biotechnology

What is bone? A collagen matrix containing many other proteins that becomes mineralized. The osteoblast does not produce mineralized bone but produces collagen that becomes mineralized after it is formed outside of the cell.

What is a biocompatible bone graft? Does not produce an inflammatory reaction. Produces normal bone. Fully resorbed. If a bone graft is not fully resorbed and does not produce normal bone the FDA does not allow implant placement in a site grafted with the graft material.

Why is biocompatibility Important If a bone graft produces inflammation sclerotic bone will be formed which does not have the ability to remodel. If bone cannot remodel and respond to changing forces the bone can fail and then the implant fails.

Examples of nonbiocompatible bone grafts. Allografts -mineralized human proteins BioOss – mineralized bovine proteins BioPlant Non resorbable ceramics Infuse an allograft in a xenograft Foundation Resorbable membranes made from foreign proteins
