BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bone repairing material and method for producing thereof, and more particularly, to a bone repairing material and method for producing thereof for the field of dental implants.


2. Description of the Prior Art

The repair and reconstruction of bone defects have always been an important research direction in orthopedics and plastic surgery. The conventional bone graft materials can be divided into autologous bone graft, allograft and xenotransplantation. The materials of autologous bone graft are obtained from the bones of patients, therefore having the best biocompatibility. The materials of allograft are obtained from the bones of donors, therefore having considerable biocompatibility, but immunosuppressive therapy is needed and the possibility of disease infection is existed. Xenotransplantation obtains the bones from different species, and there are several sources to obtain the bones, but the immune rejection is large, and the possibility of disease transmission is still existed. Artificial bone powder is made by biotechnology synthesis, and the sources of the artificial bone powder are sufficient.


Currently, the autologous bone graft is still the main method of bone defect repair, mainly because the materials of the autogenous bone graft have the best biocompatibility. However, the bone mass of a person that can be used to transplant varies from person to person. Then, the problem of bone deficiency may be induced, the wounds and pain generated when obtaining bone may be increased, and the operation time may be extended. In order to solve and avoid the problems of bone deficiency and immune rejection, the current bone material transplantation is to adopt artificial bone materials for transplantation. Artificial bone materials can be artificial bone powder which is synthesized by the biotechnology, and thus the sources are sufficient to solve the problem of bone deficiency. However, although the artificial bone powder has the ability to guide bone, it does not have the ability to induce bone.
