Abstract
Autograft is considered as the “gold standard” for bone reconstruction. It provides osteoinductive factors, osteogenic cells, and appropriate osteoconductive scaffold. Donor site morbidity is the main limitation of autograft. Donor disease transmission limits the use of allograft. Synthetic bone substitutes still lack osteoinductive or osteogenic properties. Composite bone substitutes combining synthetic scaffold and biochemical substances initiating proliferation and cell differentiation, and possibly osteogenesis. Bone substitutes and grafts intended for clinical use are listed.
