A newly designed hydroxyapatite ceramic burr-hole button
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional burr-hole buttons sometimes do not fit the burr hole well due to the curvature of the surrounding bone. An irregular surface at the border between the button and the surrounding skull may appear unaesthetic. The major problem is the difference between the curvature radius of the skull and the burr-hole button in contact with the skull. To solve this problem, the authors designed a button made of hydroxyapatite ceramic to snugly fit the burr hole. The specifications of this device and its clinical application are described here.

متن کاملGuided bone augmentation using ceramic space-maintaining devices: the impact of chemistry
The purpose of the study was to evaluate histologically, whether vertical bone augmentation can be achieved using a hollow ceramic space maintaining device in a rabbit calvaria model. Furthermore, the chemistry of microporous hydroxyapatite and zirconia were tested to determine which of these two ceramics are most suitable for guided bone generation. 24 hollow domes in two different ceramic mat...
متن کاملEffect of a ceramic and a non-ceramic hydroxyapatite on cell growth and procollagen synthesis of cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
BACKGROUND Ceramic hydroxyapatites and non-ceramic hydroxyapatites have been used extensively as alloplastic materials for bone reconstruction. However, different forms of hydroxyapatite induce different types of tissue response. METHODS Human gingival fibroblasts (FMM1 cells) were used to analyze ceramic and non-ceramic hydroxyapatite biocompatibility. The cells were grown on surfaces covere...
