The process of bone grafting has been explained in this book through descriptive information. Bone graftingis a surgical process in which a new bone or replacement material is inserted in bone fractures and bone defects in order to facilitate the process of repairing.It is of immense help even in cases which are tremendously complex, pose an important health risk to the patient, or fall short to heal correctly. Bone grafting holds an important place in variety of surgical specialties, such as: orthopedics, neurosurgery, dentistry, plastic surgery, neck and head surgery, otolaryngology and...

The basic concept of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering is intriguing for physicians and scientists as it involves healing tissues or organ defects that the present medical practice finds difficult or impossible to cure. Tissue engineering involves cells, materials methods and engineering supported by appropriate physiochemical and biological factors to enhance or replace biologic functions. Regenerative medicine is a new division of medicine which aims to change the course of chronic disease and regenerate failing organ systems lost due to damage, age, disease and congenital...

This book aims to facilitate the advancement of tissue engineering. Bone is a specific connective tissue, characterized by its mineralized natural matrix that gives bone the physical properties that lets it take on load, support useful organs and defend sensitive body parts. Bone loss or damage may happen as a consequence of hereditary conditions, communicable diseases, tumors and trauma. Bone restoration includes an integrative procedure of natural tissue and living cells, and provides itself to the integration of naturally derived or biocompatible synthetic scaffolds intended at replacing...

In a majority of incidents involving damage or injuries, the healing process involves formation of a scar, which is like a patch, reinstating structural integrity of the damaged tissue without reviving physiological functions. A far better option for a patient affected by tissue damage would be to replace the damaged tissue with something functionally similar. Increasing amount of study and research is being undertaken across the world in search for such a technology. This book provides a timely overview on crucial topics in tissue regeneration, in a well-researched manner, written by experts...
