GS4: Are Biologics Replacing the “Gold Standard” of Autogenous Bone?

Program Track: Tissue Engineering and Hard Tissue Reconstruction

Presenters

Description

Bradley S. McAllister – Title: “Cellular Bone Allografts as an Alternative to Autogenous Bone”

Craig Misch – Title: “Is Autogenous Bone Still the Gold Standard?”

Shinya Murakami – Title: “Recombinant Growth Factor as a Biologic Additive to Bone Grafts”


Educational Objectives

  • • Understand the biology of autogenous bone grafts and methods to harvest autogenous bone with less morbidity.
  • • Evaluate the current evidence on tissue engineering to overcome the need to harvest autogenous bone.
  • • Know the healing benefits of delivering cells to complex bone defects with autogenous bone or cellular bone allografts and appreciate the importance of osteocytes in bone graft healing.
  • • Comprehend the efficacy and clinical advantages of applying human recombinant growth factor to alveolar bone defects.
