Abstract

The need for bone replacement is not new and traverses many surgical specialties. Historically, autogenous reconstructive bone grafts obtained from the patient being treated were the preferred regenerative material, and their reconstructive properties remain the standard by which other materials are measured. The availability of autogenous grafts can be limited though, and harvesting bone carries with it varying degrees of morbidity and risk of complication. However, technological advances in the processing of biomaterials have significantly improved the properties of alternative osseous reconstructive options. This chapter focuses on available bone substitute materials and their intrinsic properties to aid the practitioner in selective clinical use.
