Abstract excerpt
A tissue-engineered bone has become a viable alternative to autologous bone for bone augmentation in atrophy alveolar ridge. The aim of the present study was to evaluate porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) combined with autologous osteoblasts to augment edentulous alveolar ridge in a canine model. Autologous osteoblasts were expanded and combined with beta-TCP scaffold to fabricate a tissue-engineered...
