Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Facilitation of the bone regeneration process may involve the interaction of two restorative mechanisms, osteoconduction and osteoinduction. Osteoconduction assists bone growth by providing a physical "scaffold" for new bone to grow on. For example, coral, calcium mineral and ceramic materials have osteoconductive effects. 4, record 3, English, - osteoconduction

En effet, grâce à sa structure macroporeuse, le matériau présente la capacité d’être colonisé par le tissu osseux. S’il existe un contact intime entre le biomatériau et l’os receveur en l’absence de mouvement à l’interface os-implant, le processus d’ostéoconduction peut se mettre en place grâce à des phénomènes cellulaires de colonisation osseuse. 4, record 3, French, - ost%C3%A9oconduction

Le bois est un matériau complexe, tant du point de vue de sa structure interne que de son mode de fabrication. Ses caractéristiques rhéologiques sont fortement liées à son organisation cellulaire(angle des microfibrilles...). L'état de précontraintes du bois dans la grume est le résultat de l'histoire de la croissance de l'arbre(contraintes de support, contraintes de maturation). Ces précontraintes peuvent être à l'origine de nombreux problèmes lors de l'exploitation du matériau(fentes à l'abattage, déformation...). Il est donc important de pouvoir simuler de façon dynamique les interactions entre l'architecture de l'arbre et son état mécanique. 2, record 6, French, - angle%20des%20microfibrilles
