| Abstract Scope |
Autologous transplantation is considered the current gold standard, but clinical limitations remain due to limitations in procurement morbidity and available quantities. To this end, much effort has been dedicated to designing novel biomaterials. Strontium (Sr) has dual effects of stimulating osteoblast differentiation and inhibiting osteoclast formation and resorption in vitro. Silicon (Si) is an important trace element in the early stages of bone formation. A variety of bioactive materials containing Sr or Si have been developed as promising materials for guiding bone regeneration. In contrast, the developments of strontium silicate (SrSi)-based bone grafts is still pending. This talk aims to introduce the research status of SrSi bioceramics as a next-generation material with unique properties for specific clinical applications. |
