Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Insufficient alveolar bone volume in the dental implant area increases the difficulty of implant surgery, and the emergence of bone graft materials has successfully solved such problems. Among all single bone graft materials, xenogeneic calcined bone is widely used for the treatment of bone defects. However, there are still some disadvantages when using calcined bone alone.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress in the repair of bone defects by heterogeneous calcined bone materials based on the latest relevant research trends.

METHODS: The first author searched PubMed, VIP, WanFang and CNKI databases for relevant articles published from January 1986 to November 2019. The search terms were “calcined bone, xenogeneic bone, bone augmentation, bone substitute” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally, 69 eligible articles were included for result analysis.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In all bone graft materials, calcined xenogeneic bone has good interconnectivity due to its similar characteristics to human bone structure. It facilitates the entry of vascular factors and osteogenic cells, provides channels and scaffolding for new bone formation, and has good biocompatibility and certain degradation, so it is preferred by surgeons. However, there are still some shortcomings, such as low solubility, slow absorption and poor mechanical property, which prompt researchers to develop a composite of calcined bone with ceramics, polymer, osteoinductive factor and metal ion. This can utilize the advantages of the involved materials, and thus the composite becomes a first choice of bone increment.

Key words: calcined bone, xenogenic bone, bone graft, bone increment, bone defect, bone substitute material, composite, tissue engineering
