Abstract : Regeneration of bone defects using biomaterials is an alternative
to transplantation of autologous graft. The biomaterials must meet the
requirements of functionality and should be bio- and immunocompatible,
as any undesirable in ammatory or immune response induced by the
biomaterial could worsen the outcome of the treatment. The chapter rst
brie y summarizes the course of acute and chronic in ammation and ...
