User:V3kiii/Demineralized Bone Matrix

Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) is widely used as a bone graft substitute or a graft extender for bone reconstructive procedures in orthopaedic surgery. DBM contains a series of growth factors that have the ability to induce new bone formation. These growth factors are contained within the DBM and are exposed during the demineralization process.[1]
