[The use of a cyanoacrylate-based composite material in operations on the alveolar processes of the jaws]

Improvement of methods for preventing inflammatory complications after surgery on the jaw bones and induction of predictable regeneration of bone tissue at the site of intervention is an important problem. Numerous experimental and clinical studies in Russia and abroad demonstrated the efficacy of biodestroyed materials on the basis of rapidly polymerized monomers--cyanacrylates. The products of polycyanacrylate biodestruction are nontoxic and are not accumulated in the organism. Addition of antiseptics and antibiotics in sufficient amounts to polycyanacrylates prevents the development of inflammatory processes at the site of the composite application. A new Russian composite material MK-9M was used in 44 patients operated on the alveolar process bone at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Moscow Medical Stomatological Institute in 1997-1998. Pronounced anti-inflammatory and osteoregenerating effect was attained in all cases.
