    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Alveolar ridge defects pose challenges in dental implantology and prosthodontics.
    • Autogenous bone grafts have limitations, driving the search for suitable bone graft substitutes.
    • Porous tribasic calcium phosphate ceramic is a synthetic biomaterial with osteoconductive potential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of porous tribasic calcium phosphate ceramic for alveolar ridge augmentation.
    • To assess the tissue response and bone integration of the ceramic material.
    • To determine the suitability of the augmented site for a removable partial denture.

    Main Methods:

    • Unilateral mandibular edentulation and augmentation with porous tribasic calcium phosphate ceramic in adult dogs.

  • Construction and insertion of a unilateral distal-extension removable partial denture.
  • Clinical and histologic evaluation after a 6-month period.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical assessment revealed healthy residual alveolar ridge tissue without inflammatory reactions.
    • Histologic examination confirmed the absence of inflammation and bone resorption.
    • Evidence of bone and soft tissue ingrowth into the ceramic pores was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Porous tribasic calcium phosphate ceramic is a viable material for residual alveolar ridge augmentation.
    • The material demonstrates excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties.
    • Augmented sites are suitable for prosthetic rehabilitation with removable partial dentures.
