[Study on the research progress of artificial osteoconductive materials].
OBJECTIVE
To review the recent research and clinical progress of artificial osteoconductive materials.


METHODS
Recent and related literatures were extensively and comprehensively reviewed.


RESULTS
Many achievements about the clinical application of the artificial osteoconductive materials were made. It had become one of the hotspots of bone tissue engineering research. Some were clinically applied and good clinical results were achieved.


CONCLUSIONS
As it provides new clinic method for treating bone defect, artificial osteoconductive material is of great potential in its application. To improve its microstructure, macro-shape, mechanism of osteoinductive ability, and to accelerate new bone formation will be the hotspots of the research on artificial osteoconductive material.
