Abstract

Bone tissue regeneration is required in clinical procedures such as maxillary sinus floor lift, lateral alveolar augmentation to increase the width of the mandible, and vertical alveolar augmentation to increase the height of the mandible. Bone grafts contain a reservoir of cells involved in the repair process, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but also a “cocktail” of growth factors embedded within an extracellular matrix (ECM). Rapid bone healing is often the goal for bone healing in craniofacial tissues, and this is ideally achieved by primary bone healing involving predominantly intramembranous ossification where revascularised and bone synthesis facilitate the repair process. When considering the natural healing process, the haematoma, granulation tissue, and the osteoid all support the cells within a 3D ECM structure. These natural matrix scaffolds provide a spatial arrangement for facilitating cell focal contacts and the delivery of growth factors to cell surface receptors.
