Abstract

Numerous graft materials are in use of which autografts are considered as a gold standard. Autografts have the uniqueness of having osteogenic, osteoinductive and osteoconductive potential. At the same time, they have well identified disadvantages too which include donor site morbidity, graft availability and the risk of disease transmission. Synthetic graft substitutes do not have osteoinductive or osteogenic properties. Composite grafts are also being used effectively for osteogenesis. The limited availability of suitable bone grafts has ushered in the era of tissue engineering for bone repair. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is considered as an ideal method for orthopedic applications such as bone grafting. Here in this review the scope of bone grafts and graft substitutes used for different clinical applications is discussed.
