Dental Implants and Bone Grafts: Materials and Biological Issues

A comprehensive overview of dental implants and bone grafts, focusing on the materials and biological issues involved in successful dental rehabilitation. Several chapters are excerpted, discussing the fundamental science of alveolar bone characteristics and applied biology, as well as the clinical rationale and applications of alveolar bone grafting using materials like autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetics. Furthermore, the text explores advanced topics such as implant surface modifications to enhance osseointegration and antibacterial properties, the role of synthetic calcium-based biomaterials as bone graft substitutes, and emerging cell-based therapies and pharmacological interventions for bone regeneration. Finally, the source addresses sophisticated assessment methods like X-ray micro-computed tomography used to evaluate bone-to-biomaterials regeneration.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
