Delivery of localised growth factors is gaining importance as a future therapeutic tool for regeneration and bone repair. Conventional biomaterials and novel ones are being developed with dual functions; primarily to act as drug combination devices for cells and delivery of therapeutic agents. This chapter addresses some of these systems.
