Abstract:
Autogenous bone grafting remains the gold standard for osseous reconstruction in clinical practice. It is associated with several limitations. The search for an alternative bone graft substitute with combined osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and osteogenic properties continues. This article highlights the properties of the various bone grafting materials currently available and discusses their efficacy in clinical practice.
