introduction : osteon® is an alloplastic material containing 70% hydroxyapatite and 30% β-tcp. calcitonin, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, not only prevents bone resorption by reducing both the number and the activity of osteoclasts, but also stimulates bone formation. considering the favorable effects of calcitonin on bone formation, we hypothesized that the addition of calcitonin to ...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two types of bone substitutes, bio-oss and nuoss, for repair of bone defects.this study was performed on the calvaria of 14 new zealand rabbits. the 6mm critical size defect (csd) models of bone regeneration were used. three csds were created in each surgical site. the first defect was filled with nuoss, the second one with bio-oss and t...

statement of problem: the goal of bone regenerative therapy is to reconstruct the damaged tissues to initial condition, which seems so important in periodontoiogy and implantology. in such therapies, different biomaterials, with some advantages and disadvantages, may by use.purpose: the aim of this research was to evaluate the quality, bone trabecular density and thickness of newly forming bone...

background: various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate bone healing process and reduce its healing period. in recent studies, it is pointed out that, platelet-rich fi brin (prf) which is derived autogenously from the own blood of the individuals, increase regeneration and accelerate the healing of the wound, due to the consisting various growing factors. the aim of the e...
