From a biological standpoint, the best material for reconstruction of bone defects is the autogenous bone graft. However, as tissue healing is affected under diabetic conditions, major changes might take place in the revascularization, incorporation, replacement and remodeling phases of the grafted area. The purpose of this study was to assess the bone healing process in surgical wounds prepare...

Scientific literature describes autogenous bone as the gold standard among graft materials for alveolar reconstructive procedures. Alveolar ridge augmentation has been clinically achieved with different forms of autogenous bone, including autogenous cortical bone particulate (ACBP). However, few histologic studies demonstrating the biologic potential and healing dynamics following the use of AC...

OBJECTIVE This work evaluated histologic and biochemically the effect of magnetic field buried in bone repair after autogenous bone graft and calcium phosphate cement implants. METHODOLOGY Bone defects with 5,0 mm of diameter in the cranium of Wistar mice were used to analyse. These mice were submitted to different interventions: autogenous bone graft and calcium phosphate cement implants, bo...

UNLABELLED Because of its biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties, calcium-phosphate cement has been used as bone surrogate. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to do a histomorphometric comparison of bone regeneration using hydroxyapatite biphasic ceramic, calcium-phosphate cement and autogenous bone graft. STUDY DESIGN Prospective and laboratorial experiment. MATERIALS AND M...

background: various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate bone healing process and reduce its healing period. in recent studies, it is pointed out that, platelet-rich fi brin (prf) which is derived autogenously from the own blood of the individuals, increase regeneration and accelerate the healing of the wound, due to the consisting various growing factors. the aim of the e...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically, the efficacy of immediate ridge augmentation to reconstruct the vertical and horizontal dimensions at extraction sites of periodontally hopeless tooth using an autogenous chin block graft. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 11 patients (7 male & 4 female) with localized advanced bone loss around single roote...

Following dentofacial surgical procedures, teeth in segments often do not sense thermal or electric stimuli. This study was undertaken to assess changes in the neural component of the dental pulp after posterior maxillary and mandibular segmental osteotomies, with or without interpositional autogenous bone grafting, in 26 Chacma baboons. Innervation was assessed histologically immediately after...

Surgical repair of difficult or nonunion fractures is frequently performed with autogenous bone grafts, most commonly from the iliac crest. Complications from this procedure may include vessel injury, nerve injury, pelvic instability, bowel herniation, and ileus. The authors report a case of iliac crest herniation in a patient presenting with a small-bowel obstruction 2 years after anterior ili...

PURPOSE To compare the radiographic and clinical results of medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) using autogenous bone graft and allogenous cancellous bone graft for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee with two-year follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients (52 knees) who underwent medial OWHTO from October 2007 to April. 2010 were included in the study. The pat...
