Data on materials used in transplant therapy and the corresponding mechanisms of action leading to bone regeneration.

Biomaterials Characteristics Mechanism of Action
Bio-OssTM HAP(h) ∼ HAP (x)
  • Slow macrophage biodegradability—longer cell support time,

  • Mechanical resistance [47,48],

70–75% porosity
  • Extensive surface area > cell adhesion [49],

Interconnected micro and macropores (300–1500 µm)
  • Prevents soft tissue invagination into the defect,

  • Osteoconductivity—cell mechanical support [50],

Deproteinization (≤300 °C)—no organic components
  • Biocompatibility—non-immunogenic [51],

Tisseel Lyo™ Cross-linked fibrin
  • Viscoelasticity property—tissue flap stability [52],

Fibrin polymerization—fibrin polymer
  • Binding effect of particulate biomaterial [52],

Aprotinin component (antifibrinolytic)
  • Cellular support throughout the trial period (∼ 40 days) [53],

Blood components
  • Bioactive 3D matrix—binding sites: platelets, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neutrophils, and macrophages and also for molecules, proteins and growth factors [16],

  • Biocompatibility and biodegradability (fibrinolysis) [54],

Hemostatic mechanisms
  • Thrombus—angiogenic cells (surgical hemostasis) [55].

HAP (h)—human hydroxyapatite; HAP (x)—xenogenic hydroxyapatite.
