Abstract

Currently, one of the main medical problems is the increase in the number of patients affected by various pathologies bone loss, such as loss of bone mass caused by diseases, surgical treatments or accidents. In addition, In the adult population over 60 years of age, whose number has grown considerably with the increase in life expectancy, pose new health challenges in the face of frequent diseases in these ages, such as osteoporosis. While you are Pathologies are not mostly fatal, they can severely affect the quality of life of patients by causing symptoms chronic pain, physical disability or aesthetic problems. In general, bone tissue has the ability to regenerate itself to restore the continuity of a damaged area and satisfy the support functions specific to that area. However, the body is not always able to carry out this process satisfactorily; for example, when there is a very large defect or regeneration takes long periods of time. In others Sometimes it happens that it is necessary to replace the damaged tissue so as not to completely lose the functionality of the site.
