This article is a narrative review of the research literature related to new materials from natural sources for biomedical use, applications in bone regeneration orthopedic prostheses. The methodology for the selection of the literature is described, also the synthesis of natural materials, detailing the major features in that they must meet for reactivity with biological tissue and biocompatibility. The biocompatibility of a material depends on its composition, surface characteristics and response favorably to the reactivity with biological tissue. This property in natural materials is studied from the viewpoint of the composition there of, which can be converted into the natural biomimetic materials that meet necessary functions and features for potential use as biomaterials. The materials commonly used in orthopedics and bone regeneration are expensive and often difficult to access for patients. (MÉD.UIS. 2014;27(1):35-41)
