A method of producing an osteoinductive bone graft formed of a plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers is disclosed. The method includes preparing a fibrous scaffold material formed of the plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers, wherein the plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers are entangled with each other to form a cotton-wool like structure having inter-fiber spaces forming a microenvironment for cell growth therein, and immersing the fibrous scaffold in a solution containing BMP-2 so that the BMP-2 is bound to the calcium particles exposed on the surface of the fibers. Area of binding site for BMP-2 on calcium particles exposed on a surface of the electrospun biodegradable fibers is adjusted by an amount of the calcium particles contained in the electrospun biodegradable fibers.

A functionally gradient material for guided periodontal hard and soft tissue regeneration includes a 3D printed scaffold layer and an electrospun fibrous membrane layer. The content of hydroxyapatite in the 3D printed scaffold layer is higher than the content of hydroxyapatite in the electrospun fibrous membrane layer. The pore size of the 3D printed scaffold layer is larger than the pore size of the electrospun fibrous membrane layer. The pore size of the 3D printed scaffold layer is 100-1000 μm, and the fiber diameter of the electrospun fibrous membrane layer is 300-5000 nm. The electrospun fibrous membrane layer is in a random distribution or an oriented arrangement or has a mesh structure. The thickness of the electrospun fibrous membrane layer is 0.08-1 mm.

An implant for treating a bone defect wherein the implant comprises osteoconductive supporting bodies and an insertion aid. The insertion aid is designed for insertion of the osteoconductive supporting bodies into a bone defect and for holding together the osteoconductive supporting bodies. Also disclosed is a kit comprised of an implant for treating a bone defect.

This present invention discloses a bone implant composition which comprises about 50˜70% by weight of ceramic particles, wherein the ceramic particles composes tricalcium phosphate and bioactive glass; and about 30˜50% by weight of carrier. The carrier provides good ability of operation and shaping, so the bone implant composition can be filled into a human body by various shapes. Because of high ratio of ceramic particles, it can still construct supports even if carrier is degraded within a short time after implanted, which is beneficial for adhesion and growth of new bone cells, and also promotes healing of bone defect.
