Abstract

The evolution of novel technologies has improved the development of newer bone substitute materials such as synthetics, bioceramics, and polymers which are currently considered as emerging substitute of auto- or allogenous bone for treating bone defects. The ideal bone substitute materials should be biocompatible, bioresorbable, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive and support the osseous ingrowth. This chapter is a summary of the current bone substitute materials and development of bone graft composites which may allow for improved therapeutic outcomes in patients with bone defects.
