Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Different kinds of skul repair materials have different physicochemical properties and biocompatibilities. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research and application progress in skul defect repair materials. METHODS:A computer-based search of China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database, Wanfang and PubMed databases was performed for articles published from 1988 to 2014 with the keywords of“bone repair materials, physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, titanium al oy, autologous skul”in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By the literature retrieval, the clinical application and research progress of bone repair materials are analyzed, properties and clinical application of different types of skul repair materials at different periods are compared, to master the physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility of different skul repair materials as wel as to summarize the timing and methods of skul repair in individual patients. Titanium and titanium al oys have been used widely as skul repair materials because of their good biocompatibility, physicochemical properties, and fewer complications. Autologous skul bone flaps have been the ideal materials for skul repair because its origin is consistent, without any rejection. Bone tissue engineering technology developed in recent years provides a new research direction for skul repair, because it can be used to copy autologous skul .
