Modern Overtures in Biomaterials for Bone Tissue Engineering and its Applications

I. Shubhangi Das*, Manisha Yadav and Anjuvan Singh

Abstract

Bone tissue engineering is a stimulating way to directly repair and engineer the defected/damaged bone tissue by omitting the less efficient techniques used in conventional practices. Biomaterial plays a cardinal role in providing support and extracellular environment for cell proliferation, differentiation and enhances tissue regeneration. The traditionally used bone graft has been substituted by the tissue engineering technique, due to their minimal pathogen transmission property. As there have been some challenges and restrictions, bone tissue engineering has not been a hot topic in clinical practices. The aims and objective of this paper are to review the current approaches in the developing field of Bone tissue engineering and find a better substitute as an implant device for the welfare of society.
