Introduction and Background
Currently, bone defects caused by congenital malformations, diseases, trauma or surgical procedures are considered a health problem, particularly in implantoprosthetic rehabilitation and dental and bone maintenance. Bone tissue is currently the second most transplanted tissue worldwide, after blood1. Several biomaterials have been researched and developed in Dentistry, particularly in Guided Tissue Regeneration and Guided Bone Regeneration. The main functions of bone graft material are to provide mechanical support and stimulate bone regeneration, whose final scope is bone replacement. Osseointegration, osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteoinduction are primordial foundations for the performance of biomaterials in bone grafts1-3.
