Nanoengineered Biomimetic Bone-Building Blocks

  • Chapter
Molecular Building Blocks for Nanotechnology

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 109))

Abstract

Bone is a paradigm for a dynamic tissue because it has a unique capability of selfregenerating or self-remodeling throughout its life without leaving a scar. However, many circumstances call for bone grafting owing to bone defects arising either from traumatic or nontraumatic destruction. Bone grafting is a field of intensive investigation in human health care as it directly affects the quality and length of human life. Basically, bone grafting is a surgical method that repairs or regenerates the defective bone with the help of bone graft materials.
