High Potential of Bacterial Adhesion on Block Bone Graft Materials

High Potential of Bacterial Adhesion on Block Bone Graft Materials

Bone graft infections represent a challenge in daily clinics, resulting in increased patient discomfort and graft removal. The aim of this study was to investigate the initial adhesion of five representative pathogens on three different block bone graft materials (xenogeneic, alloplastic and allogen...
