Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The current widely used methods of bone defect repair mainly include bone autograft, allograft and artificial bone transplantation. Artificial bone graft can avoid the pain resulting from taking patients’ own materials, complications and risk of allograft immune rejection.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress in some commonly used artificial bone materials worldwide in recent years.
METHODS: A computer-based search was performed in China Journal Full-Text Database, PubMed database, China Biology Medicine Database and FMJS database to retrieve the papers concerning artificial bone materials published from 2007 to 2013. The keywords were “artificial bone, material, bone defect, bone graft” in Chinese and English.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The current commonly used artificial bone materials are natural polymer materials, synthetic polymer, inorganic material and nanometer material. The ideal bone graft substitutes should have the following conditions: good biocompatibility; local formation of acidic biological environment, good for the ingrowth of blood vessels and osteoblasts; complete biodegradation; osteogenesis, bone conduction and bone induction. Biological fibrin glue has good degradation and histocompatibility that can be shaped, but its strength is poor. The future research direction mainly focuses to reinforce its strength. Synthetic and inorganic materials have good strength and support role, but the histocompatibility is poor, for which, it is very important to improve the histocompatibility. Nanometer material is a suitable artificial bone material. Currently used artificial bone materials in bone tissue engineering research all have their respective advantages and disadvantages. They cannot satisfy the requirements of ideal bone tissue engineering extracellular matrix materials at the same time, and they have differences in the biological peculiarity and mechanical peculiarity with natural bone. Therefore, compositing the various types of materials with structure and function modification is the direction of developing ideal bone defect repair materials.
