Osteoconduction

Osteoconduction is the process by which new bone tissue grows along a scaffold or surface, providing a pathway for bone cells to migrate and form new bone. It acts as a framework that guides the growth of bone into damaged or missing areas, facilitating healing. In medical procedures, materials that support osteoconduction help ensure that bone can regenerate effectively by providing a structure for bone cells to attach, grow, and replace the scaffold over time.
