Bone regeneration is a critical step in modern dentistry, particularly in implantology and guided bone regeneration (GBR).
Following tooth loss, the alveolar bone undergoes rapid resorption, often compromising implant placement and long-term outcomes. As a result, there is an increasing need for biomaterials that not only provide structural support but also interact with the biological environment.
Magnesium (Mg²⁺), naturally present in bone, plays a key role in processes such as osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and the regulation of inflammation. When incorporated into calcium phosphate biomaterials, it enables a more biomimetic approach to bone regeneration.
This document provides an overview of the scientific rationale behind magnesium-enhanced bone substitutes and their potential role in supporting the bone regeneration process in dental applications.
