Finite element modelling of the spinal unit is a promising preclinical tool to assess biomechanical outcome emerging interventions. Currently, most models are calibrated and validated against range motion rarely directly soft-tissue deformation. The aim this contribution was develop an in vitro methodology measure disc bulge ability different specimen-specific approaches predict bulge. Bovine b...

PURPOSE To carry out a radiological and histomorphometric evaluation of bone response to two xenografts of animal origin, one porcine, and the other bovine, inserted in rabbits' tibiae. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty New Zealand rabbits weighing 3900-4500 g were used. Twenty bovine bone grafts (Endobon) in granulated form of 500-1000 μm granulometry were inserted in the proximal metaphyseal area...

PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the periodontal wound healing effect of particulate equine bone mineral on canine alveolar bone defects. METHODS Twelve adult male beagle dogs were used as study subjects. The mandibular second and fourth premolars were extracted prior to the experimental surgery, and the extraction sites were allowed to heal for 8 weeks. After periodontal probing,...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate xenograft degradation velocity when treated with 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR). METHODS The scapula of a cow was purchased from a local grocery, and discs (diameter 8 mm, thickness 1 mm) were prepared by trephine bur. Discs treated with 4HR were used as the experimental group. Untreated discs were used as the control. X-ray diffraction (XRD), F...

It is known that current trends on bone bioengineering seek ideal scaffolds and explore innovative methods to restore tissue function. In this way, the objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of anorganic bovine bone as osteoblast carrier in critical-size calvarial defects. MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells (1x10(5) cells/well) were cultured on granules of anorganic bovine bone in 24-well ...

Objective: This study was intended to analyze the expression of SRT-box transcription factor (SOX)2, SOX9 and woven bone in preservation tooth extraction sockets due induction with propolis extract graft. Materials methods: 56 Cavia cobaya divided into four groups according socket filling material used: control group, a bovine xenograft extract-bovine group. An incisor extracted from each subje...

Innocuous biocompatible materials have been searched to repair or reconstruct bone defects. Their goal is to restore the function of live or dead tissues. This study compared connective tissue and bone reaction when exposed to demineralized bovine bone matrix and a polyurethane resin derived from castor bean (Ricinus communis). Forty-five rats were assigned to 3 groups of 15 animals (control, b...
