Comparison of rat bone healing following intra-alveolar grafting with organic or inorganic bovine bone particles

Abstract
Aim:
This study compared, histometrically, the alveolar bone healing
after grafting rats extraction socket with particles of organic or inorganic
bovine bone.
Method:
The volume fraction of grafted materials and bone trabeculae
was estimated in histologic images at the end of the 2nd and 9th weeks
post-operatively by a differential point-counting method.
Results:
Particles of both materials were observed partially filling
the cervical alveolar third and the volume fraction of inorganic graft
was larger than that of organic graft 2 and 9 weeks following
implantation. Although evoking neither a foreign-body reaction nor a
persisting inflammatory response, both materials delayed bone healing.
By the 2nd week, the delay was more pronounced in the animals
grafted with inorganic than in those grafted with organic bone, but
only in the animals whose inorganic graft occupied more than 50% of
the cervical third. By the 9th week, despite the greater volume fraction
of inorganic graft the percent of bone healing was similar to that
observed in the animals grafted with organic bone.
Conclusion:
The degree of impairment of bone healing resulted from
combination of factors such as type of material, its relative amount
and the phase of the reparational process.
