Preclinical Development of a Settable Bone Graft for Stabilization of Dental Implants

The team has designed settable, resorbable poly(thioketal urethane)s that stabilize structural bone defects as they oxidatively degrade and are replaced by new bone. The next-generation poly(thioketal thiourethane)s with improved storage stability have enabled the development of the first bone graft, called OsseoCem, that stabilizes dental implants.
