Luunkorvausmateriaalit
Luunkorvausmateriaalit, also known as bone graft substitutes or bone void fillers, are biocompatible substances used to fill bone defects or gaps resulting from trauma, surgery, or disease. These materials aim to facilitate bone healing and regeneration by providing a scaffold for new bone growth. They can be broadly categorized into several types.
Autografts, harvested from the patient's own body, are considered the gold standard due to their osteoconductive,
Synthetic bone graft substitutes are increasingly utilized to overcome the limitations of biological grafts. These include
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) products are derived from allografts but have undergone processing to remove mineral
The selection of a specific luunkorvausmateriaali depends on the size and location of the bone defect, the
