Definition of osteogenesis in English:
osteogenesis
noun ˌɒstɪə(ʊ)ˈdʒɛnɪsɪsˌɑstioʊˈdʒɛnəsəs
mass nounPhysiology The formation of bone.
Example sentencesExamples
- As a consequence, the mineralized septa providing the scaffold for bone deposition cannot be formed, and osteogenesis itself is severely disturbed.
- Although both groups exhibit very similar chondrogenic patterns of the tarsus, only the amphibian pattern is preserved through osteogenesis.
- Stimulation of osteogenesis leading to bone repair, as in patients with large bone defects, fracture non-unions, and incomplete allograft consolidation, is clinically desirable for early healing and restoration of function.
- Inflammation is a necessary step in the healing of normal body tissues, and osteoblasts specifically require prostaglandins for osteogenesis and differentiation.
- Platelet concentrates also have the potential to improve fracture healing and enhance osteogenesis.
