Ridge Augmentation Using ?-Tricalcium Phosphate and Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Sphere with Collagen Membrane in Chronic Pathologic Extraction Sockets with Dehiscence Defect: A Pilot Study in Beagle Dogs.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to comparatively examine spontaneous healing versus ridge augmentation, in surgically-created dehiscence defects, associated with chronic pathology in dogs. Mandibular second, third and fourth premolars (P2, P3 and P4) were hemi-sectioned, and a dehiscence defect was created at the mesial root, while a groove was made on the buccal area from the top of the teeth to the bottom of the defect, exposing the dental pulp. The mesial roots of P2, P3 and P4 were extracted 1 month after the induction of the dehiscence defect with chronic pathology. Three teeth were randomly allocated to these experimental groups: (i) spontaneous healing without any bone graft (Control group: C); (ii) ridge augmentation with ?-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) granules (Test 1 group: T1); and (iii) ridge augmentation with 60% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 40% ?-TCP microspheres (Test 2 group: T2). Postmortem histopathologic examination showed significant between-group differences in C and T1 and C and T2 in bone volume/tissue volume in qualitative micro-computed tomography (CT) analysis, as well as significant intergroup differences in the coronal area at 4 and 12 weeks. The composition of connective tissue and mineralized bone in C and T1 were higher than in T2 at 4 weeks of healing, whereas the composition of mineralized bone was higher in T2 than in T1 at 12 weeks of healing. Biphasic calcium phosphate, composed of 60% HA and 40% ?-TCP microsphere (i) potentially prevented marked osteoclastic resorption and (ii) promoted ridge preservation in the extraction socket with the dehiscence defect and chronic pathology.
