Demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. Numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. Heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. In this paper we de...

introduction: the aim of this in vivo study was to determine the effect of demineralized bone matrix (dbm) on alveolar bone repair in type i diabetic rats. materials and methods: this study was carried out on 40 adult (8 weeks-old) albino rats with an average weight of 200-250 grams. the animals were divided into four groups (n=10) as follows: group 1 nondiabetic rats, group 2, 3 and 4 were dia...

BACKGROUND The morbidity associated with open fractures and open fracture treatment is well established. An osteoinductive and osteoconductive bone-graft substitute that prevents infection would decrease the number of procedures required to treat contaminated fractures by eliminating the need for surgical removal of cement beads and perhaps autograft harvest. We hypothesized that the combinatio...

BACKGROUND Demineralized bone matrix is an osteoinductive and osteoconductive material that is often used in orthopaedic surgery to induce bone formation. Autologous platelet-rich plasma, which contains proliferative and chemoattractant growth factors, has been used as a demineralized bone matrix adjuvant with mixed results. One variable during clinical use appears to be whether the platelet-ri...

Autogenous bone graft is gold standard in treating bone defects, but it might have difficulty in corporation and rejection reaction. This study is to compare the effectiveness among freeze-dried xenograft, freeze-dried allograft, hydroxyapatite xenograft, and demineralized bone matrix xenograft as bone graft to fill bone defect in femoral diaphysis of white rabbit. Thirty male New Zealand white...

PURPOSE This study examined the osteoinductive activity of demineralized human dentin matrix for nude mice. METHODS Twenty healthy nude mice weighing about 15 to 20 g were used for study. Demineralized human dentin matrix was prepared and implanted into the dorsal portion of nude mice (subcutaneous), which were sacrificed at two, four, and eight weeks after demineralized dentin matrix graftin...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was an experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and collagenated heterologous bone graft (CHBG) used alone or in combination with platelet-rich fibrin on bone healing in sinus floor augmentation procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 36 New Zealand rabbits were used. The bilateral sinus elevation was performed, and...
