Advances in Regenerative Medicine:
Clinical Applications of Bone Augmentation/GBR

再生医療の力で広がる希望
～骨造成/GBRの臨床応用～

With the widespread adoption and increasing sophistication of implant therapy, the importance of bone augmentation in achieving long-term stability has become greater than ever. Advances in bone regenerative materials and related technologies now allow clinicians to treat cases with a level of predictability and reliability that was once considered difficult to achieve.
In this session, three highly experienced clinicians will present the latest scientific evidence and clinical data regarding various bone grafting materials, including their characteristics, indications, and appropriate clinical applications. The speakers will also discuss current challenges and future perspectives in bone augmentation and guided bone regeneration (GBR), while sharing practical insights drawn from extensive clinical experience. By bridging scientific evidence with real-world clinical decision-making, this session aims to provide clinicians with greater clarity and confidence when approaching complex regenerative cases, while offering practical concepts and techniques that can be immediately applied in daily practice.

While autologous bones contain osteoblasts and growth factors and are beneficial for bone regeneration, various bone graft materials have been developed to address limitations such as the limited amount of autologous bone available for harvesting and the physical burden on patients. Bone graft materials used in implant treatment include carbonate apatite, OCP/Collagen, low-crystalline HA/Collagen, and bovine derived HA. To achieve successful bone regeneration using these bone graft materials, it is essential to perform surgery with a thorough understanding of the categorization, material properties, and characteristics of the bone graft materials. In this context, I would like to discuss the key points and tips in selection of appropriate bone graft material for each specific clinical application.

To improve the predictability of implant treatment, it is crucial to place implants in positions that account for the planned prosthetic restoration and within the bone where there are no anatomical concerns. However, insufficient bone volume―often caused by post-extraction bone resorption or the presence of anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus―is a common issue. Therefore, the application of bone augmentation using bone graft materials with appropriate compressive strength and porosity as a scaffold is highly beneficial. In this presentation, we will present and discuss bone augmentation techniques and their outcomes in cases of insufficient bone volume under various clinical conditions.

In 2017, a granular synthetic carbonate apatite graft material (product name: Cytrans Granules GC), one of the alloplastic bone graft materials, was introduced. Carbonate apatite granules contain a high level of carbonate (approximately 12%), making them readily resorbable by osteoclasts. Compared with other bone graft materials, carbonate apatite also promotes the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells and osteoblasts more effectively. In this lecture, the speaker will present the mid-term clinical outcomes of implant therapy and discuss the clinical effectiveness of Cytrans Granules.
