Biodegradability can be considered as a process which must happen at a speed allowing tissue healing, so it is appropriate to consider that an appropriate material must allow progressive load transfer to the bone being healed simultaneously with the formation of new tissue, meaning that it has to be able to perform having properties related to osteoinductive, osteoregenerator and osteoconductive material Pariente et al., 2006.
Respecto a la biodegradabilidad, es un fenómeno que debe ocurrir a una velocidad tal que permita el proceso de curación del tejido, por lo que resulta relevante considerar que el material debe permitir una transferencia progresiva de cargas al hueso en recuperación, concomitante con la formación de nuevo tejido, lo que se traduce en un material osteoinductivo, osteorregenerador y osteoconductivo Pariente et al., 2006.
