Scientists learned how to grow bone tissue of the face

It includes both “natural” and “synthetic” components

British scientists have proposed an unusual solution to the problem of a bone graft, is necessary, for example, people who have received injuries to the face or undergoing surgery for removal of malignant bone tumors.

It is based on… semi-farming of bones, including both “natural” and “synthetic” components.

The artificial bone developed at the University of Oxford with the support of “Teox” is a collagen matrix impregnated to increase the strength and rigidity of special inorganic components.

Its creation takes only a few days, and doctors have the ability to grow bone, fully corresponding to the shape eliminate the defect. After the implantation of artificial bone is formed around the shell of the natural bone tissue, completely isolating it from other tissues.

Experts have called this development “a real revolution” in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery
