Segmental Bone Reconstruction by Octacalcium Phosphate Collagen Composites with Teriparatide

Octacalcium phosphate and collagen composite (OCPcol) demonstrated superior bone regeneration and has been commercialized recently in Japan. Teriparatide (TPTD) is a bioactive recombinant form of parathyroid hormone that is approved for osteoporosis treatment. Because mandibular bone reconstruction after segmental resection is a key clinical problem, it was examined whether single-dose local administration of OCPcol with TPTD can affect recovery...
