Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of new bone formation of deproteinized bovine bone (Bio-Oss) and mineralized allogenic bone (Tutoplast).
Materials And Methods:
Sixty rats were divided into control and experimental groups (groups 1 and 2): control group, unfilled control; group 1, Bio-Oss; group 2, Tutoplast, respectively. The animals were killed after 6 and 12 weeks, and newly formed bone was analyzed histomorphometrically.
Results:
In the control group, some new bone formed in the rim of the defect area. In the group 1, newly formed bone was thinner than the adjacent normal bone, and Bio-Oss particles were observed. In the group 2, showed a pattern of gradual fusion with adjacent bone, as well as particles in some areas, similar to the Bio-Oss-treated group. In the 12-week groups, the amount of new bone formation was significantly higher in the experimental groups than in the control group, and it was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1.
Conclusion:
Although Tutoplast and Bio-Oss graft materials seem to be useful for bone grafts, Tutoplast showed more active new bone formation than Bio-Oss.
