The aim of this study was to examine the bone regeneration properties of beta-tricalcium phosphate hydrothermally converted from foraminifera carbonate exoskeleton in the repair of rat calvarial defect. These natural materials possess unique interconnected porous network with uniform pore size distribution, which can be potentially advantageous. In total, 20 adult male Wistar rats received full...

Alveolar atrophy following tooth extraction remains a challenge for future dental implant placement. Immediate implant placement and postextraction alveolar preservation are two methods that are used to prevent significant postextraction bone loss. The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of hydroxyapatite / beta tricalcium phosphate (HA/BTCP) with hyaluronic acid (HY) for alv...

both anorganic bovine bone (abb) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-tcp) are used in clinical practice as bone substitute materials, but there is limited data comparing these two materials in standardized defects. the aim of this study was to histologically evaluate the effectiveness of abb and β-tcp in the healing of experimentally induced bone defects.eighteen bone defects were created on the calv...

The effects of bioactive glass S53P4 or beta-tricalcium phosphate; and bone morphogenetic proteins bone morphogenetic protein-2, bone morphogenetic protein-7, or bone morphogenetic protein-2 + 7 on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells were compared in control medium, osteogenic medium, and bone morphogenetic protein-supplemented osteogenic medium to assess suitability for bone...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), alone or in combination, on bone regeneration in pig tibial defects. METHODS Four standardized defects were prepared in both tibias of three adult male pigs. The first defect was left unfilled as a control; the others were grafted with either PRF, β-TCP or PRF mixed with β-TCP. All animals w...
