The ultrastructure and processing properties of Straumann Bone Ceramic® and NanoBone®
Folia Morphol 2006;65(1):63-65.
Abstract
The ultrastructure, fundamental chemistry, and processing modes of fully synthetic
bone grafting materials are relevant to the reconstruction of osseous defects.
Rapid progress in the profitable market of biomaterials has led to the
development of various bone substitutes. Despite all these efforts, an ideal and
full substitute of autologous bone is not yet in sight. With regard to anorganic
calcium phosphate ceramics, Straumann Bone Ceramic® and NanoBone® are
compared. These have a similar composition and are osteoconductive, which
indispensably requires contact with well-vascularised bone.
