Biomaterials are widely employed in the treatment of bone loss. Synthetic bone substitutes do not however always work as well in patients as in vivo data suggests. The aim of this research project is to investigate potential methods to improve the regenerative capacity of alloplastic biomaterials for treatment of periodontal bone loss.
