Abstract
Osteoinductive factor, a unique glycoprotein, is the latest growth factor to be discovered. When combined with transforming growth factor-beta 1 or transforming growth factor-beta 2, osteoinductive factor can stimulate the formation of endochondral bone in a collagen-ceramic composite. Preliminary laboratory studies indicate a wide potential for the use of osteoinductive products in orthopedics, oral reconstruction, and periodontal procedures.Entities:
