Abstract excerpt
Biomaterial research and tissue engineering have guided new developments in bone replacement. In this study, the osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties of 45S5 Bioglass (Novabone-C/M, Porex Surg., Newnan, GA), granules as a bone replacement material for large calvarial defects were evaluated. Rabbit periosteal cells were expanded in culture and used in vivo. Alkaline-phosphatase assay, collagen type I, and...
