Harms et al. have demonstrated NanoBone®´s great osteoconductive potential. The augmentation material acts as a conductor. A protein-rich organic matrix forms which promotes the growth of connective tissue.
Götz et al. have demonstrated the osteinductive nature of NanoBone®. They were able to prove that osteblasts and osteclasts are attracted and differentiated. Ectopic bone formation was observed in a test with Göttingen minipigs.
