Selection and evaluation of cranial repair materials / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

At present, the artificial materials for cranial repair include methylsilicone rubber, titanium net, bonwe cement and stainless steel sil net, etc. Titanium net, organic glass, methylsilicone rubber and bone cement are easy to operate, but they are not satisfactory as an ideal material of repairing cranial defects because they only contributes to partial functional alternation as a foreign implant. High cost and long periodicity of tissue engineered bone lead to limit its application in clinics as an ideal repair material of bone defects. With the advanced development of biomaterials study and the deeper manufacture of industrialized tissue engineered products, this technology will achieve a large-scale application of clinical practice.
