Unlabelled:
The aim of the study was to repair mandibular bone defect using BIO-OSS artificial bone implantation. The experiment was conducted on 30 white laboratory rats. Defect in the bone of lower jaw was created surgically. Animals were divided into 2 groups. 15 animals were allocated in control group. Another 15 animals were allocated in the BIO-OSS treatment group.
Control Group:
analysis revealed bone defect in 6-month after modeling of bone defect. There was no pronounced proliferation of connective tissue visible in the defect area. Treatment group: In the samples of treated group, BIO-OSS bone mass formed basophilic fiber-like structures. It was surrounded with the thin proliferative connective and granulation tissues.
Conclusions:
proposed technique of bone defect reconstruction is an effective and sustainable method and can be recommended for wider use in clinical practice.

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...
