Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Biocoral is a biomaterial derived from natural corals.
  • It has established surgical applications.
  • Its use as a bone graft substitute in maxillofacial surgery began in 1992.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and biocompatibility of Biocoral as a bone graft substitute.
  • To assess the long-term outcomes of using Biocoral in maxillofacial surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-seven clinical implantations of Biocoral were performed for various indications.
  • The study involved long-term clinical observation and assessment of graft integration.

Main Results:

  • Biocoral grafts were well tolerated by patients.
  • Partial ossification of the coral graft was observed.
  • Resorption of the calcified coral skeleton occurred, facilitating bone regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Biocoral demonstrates successful outcomes as a bone graft substitute in maxillofacial surgery.
  • The biomaterial is well-tolerated and integrates effectively, promoting partial ossification and resorption.
  • This material represents a viable option for bone reconstruction in surgical applications.
