Cover Story: Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) strategies aim to incite an optimal osteoinductive environment for treating bone defects or diseases in odontoiatric procedures. Blood clots (haematoma) play a fundamental role in bone regeneration, while magnetic fields (MFs) have shown their relevance in the maturation of bone tissue and osteoblast differentiation. The effect of a static MF on the stability of whole-blood (WB) clots obtained in a physiological manner (tissue factor and calcium) and then subjected to a fibrinolytic agent (tPA) was evaluated. The clots were more stable in time when a static MF was applied, although there were not any obvious effects on the proliferation of osteoblast-like cells when added to preformed WB clots. The combined use of WB clots and MFs shows promise for an optimal GBR. View this paper
