The experimental assessment of autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT) was conducted. Several studies on autogenous tooth bone graft material have confirmed the resorption of AutoBT over time and the formation of high-quality new bone. 1.

Treatment of large segmental defects using conventional autogenous iliac crest bone graft can be limited by volume of cancellous bone and donor site morbidity. The reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) technique allows access to a large volume of cancellous bone graft containing growth factors with potency equal to or greater than autograft material from the iliac crest. The purpose of this study wa...

OBJECTIVES Interest in bone graft material has increased with regard to restoration in cases of bone defect around the implant. Autogenous tooth bone graft material was developed and commercialized in 2008. In this study, we evaluated the results of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation with autogenous tooth bone graft material. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study targeted patients who had ...

BACKGROUND To reduce fusion nonunion, autogenous bone graft is often incorporated into foot and ankle fusion procedures. B2A peptide-coated ceramic granules, with encouraging results in pilot studies of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, were here reformulated into Amplex with a coating concentration of 225 μg B2A/cm(3) ceramic granules (B2A-granule) with the goal of eliminating autogenous...

in this study, the role of local injection of butyric acid (ba) with autogenous omental graft was evaluated in healing of experimental achilles tendon injury in rabbits. nine adult male new zealand rabbits were anesthetized and a partial thickness tenotomy was created on both hindlimbs. in treated group, omental graft was secured in place using ba soaked polygalactin 910 suture. in control grou...

excessive scarring; paralleling the process in tendon reconstruction of the hand. inspired by the advantages of the two-stage technique in tendon grafting and with encouraging preliminary results, we aimed to investigate the two-stage nerve grafting technique as an alternative method of secondary nerve repair. methods:  thirty female rats (~200 g) were randomly distributed into two groups (n=15...

conclusions alendronate may be considered a therapeutic option for improving the bone formation process and reducing resorption in different bone grafting procedures. further detailed studies should focus on dosage and time-dependent effects of alendronate on bone remodeling. results at 6 weeks, the bone area was significantly larger in the xenograft-alendronate group (33.0% ± 5.0%) than in the...

Do autogenous vein grafts provide resistance to graft infection in MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) patients undergoing vascular surgery? This paper presents two MRSA patients, who underwent femoral popliteal bypass procedure with autogenous saphenous vein grafts. Despite prophylactic measures and all necessary care, both patients had graft infections and died as a result of M...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on autogenous bone graft remodeling during sinus augmentation in a rabbit model. MATERIALS Twelve New Zealand White rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups based on their time of sacrifice (2, 4, and 8 weeks). All animals underwent a general anesthetic and harvesting of an autogenous bone graft from the right iliac crest with su...
