3D-Printed Ceramic-Demineralized Bone Matrix Hyperelastic Bone Composite Scaffolds for Spinal Fusion

Augmentation of Spinal Fusion with a Demineralized Bone/hyaluronan Matrix

INTRODUCTION Autogenous iliac crest bone graft continues to be the material of choice for posterolateral lumbar intertransverse process spine fusion. However, continued interest lies in developing bone graft alternatives that can be used as either graft extenders, graft enhancers, or graft substitutes. It was the purpose of this study to evaluate the efficacy of a demineralized bone matrix/ hya...

Demineralized bone matrix and spinal arthrodesis.

Spinal fusion is a gold-standard treatment for many disorders of the spine with autogenous bone graft as the gold-standard source for augmenting fusion. However, the morbidity and limitations of autogenous bone grafting has motivated the search for bone graft alternatives. One such alternative is demineralized bone matrix (DBM). The purpose of this paper is to describe and characterize the prop...

Demineralized dentin matrix scaffolds for alveolar bone engineering

From the point of view of implant dentistry, this review discusses the development and clinical use of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) scaffolds, produced from the patient's own extracted teeth, to repair alveolar bone defects. The structure and the organic and inorganic components of DDM are presented to emphasize the similarities with autogenous bone. Studies of DDM properties, such as oste...

The fusion rate of demineralized bone matrix compared with autogenous iliac bone graft for long multi-segment posterolateral spinal fusion

BACKGROUND Although autogenous iliac bone graft (AIBG) remains the gold standard for spine fusion, harvesting morbidity has prompted the search for alternatives especially for multi-segment fusion. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as a substitute of AIBG for long instrumented posterolateral fusion (≧ three-level fusion). METHODS A total of 47 ...
