Restoration of jaw bone tissue defect using osteoplastic material

Georgian Med News. 2014 Feb:(227):89-92.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to repair mandibular bone defect using BIO-OSS artificial bone implantation. The experiment was conducted on 30 white laboratory rats. Defect in the bone of lower jaw was created surgically. Animals were divided into 2 groups. 15 animals were allocated in control group. Another 15 animals were allocated in the BIO-OSS treatment group.

Control group: analysis revealed bone defect in 6-month after modeling of bone defect. There was no pronounced proliferation of connective tissue visible in the defect area. Treatment group: In the samples of treated group, BIO-OSS bone mass formed basophilic fiber-like structures. It was surrounded with the thin proliferative connective and granulation tissues.

Conclusions: proposed technique of bone defect reconstruction is an effective and sustainable method and can be recommended for wider use in clinical practice.
