[The collagen-apatite implant and repair of jaw bone tissue defects]
Abstract:
The calcified material (the collagen and calcium hydroxyphosphate--base material) has been used for the first time with a high degree of the structural integrability of components. This material has been obtained according to an unique technology. The material was implanted in 17 patients: after cystectomy--12, after root apex resection--5. The teeth which were in the defective region were preimmobilized by means of archbar structures. The material biotransformation was checked by scintigraphy, roentgenography. According to the obtained data forming of bone tissue was registered on day 20-21 after the operation, after 2-2.5 months this process ended.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
