Watch a 30 Minute Video on Advancements in Synthetic Bone Grafts
Much advancement has been made within the last year with synthetic bone grafts. The world’s first osteoinductive synthetically fabricated bone graft, Osopia, was FDA cleared for clinical use. Unlike previous synthetic bone grafts which are osteoconductive by nature, Osopia is capable of inducing ectopic bone formation = the ability to make bone even when implanted in muscle. Only allografts and BMP2 are the other biomaterials able induce ectopic bone formation with FDA clearance.
Derived from Dr. Richard Miron's best-selling textbook "Next Generation Biomaterials for Bone and Periodontal Regeneration", this free CE online module at www.prf-edu.com covers synthetic bone grafting materials, their properties and the importance and clearance of Osopia, the first synthetically fabricated osteoinductive bone graft.
