Osteoconductive materials

Osteoconductive materials are substances used in medicine to support bone healing. They serve as a scaffold or framework that encourages new bone cells to grow on and integrate with existing bone tissue. These materials do not directly stimulate bone formation themselves but provide a structure that facilitates natural bone regrowth. Examples include certain types of ceramics or synthetic compounds. Osteoconductive materials are essential in bone repair procedures, helping improve healing outcomes, especially in cases of fractures, bone defects, or dental implants, by promoting proper and stable bone regeneration.
