osteoconductivity

Osteoconductivity refers to the ability of a material to support the growth of new bone tissue on its surface or within its structure. Think of it as a scaffold or framework that guides and promotes the natural process of bone regeneration. When placed in or near existing bone, an osteoconductive material provides a surface where bone cells can attach, grow, and eventually replace the material with natural bone. This property is important in bone healing and regeneration procedures, as it helps restore bone structure and strength effectively.
