Innovative Solution Overview
Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to tooth loss, injury, disease, or cancer. Regenerating this lost bone is crucial for dental procedures such as dental implant installation to replace lost teeth and facial reconstruction to restore the jaw's chewing function and aesthetic appearance. While bone grafting can be effective, current solutions remain limited by donor-site morbidity (autografts), unpredictable outcomes and immunological risks (allografts and xenografts), or suboptimal regenerative performance (synthetic substitutes).
At NDRIS, researchers are developing next-generation biomaterials and tissue engineering technologies to help the body regenerate bone more effectively, safely and predictably. Through comprehensive research as well as collaborations with established academic and industrial partners, NDRIS focuses on creating innovative solutions that could improve treatment outcomes for patients requiring oral-maxillofacial reconstruction.
