| Summary: | Purpose: An-organic bovine bone graft is a xenograft with
the potential of bone formation. The aim of this study was
to evaluate the bone density using cone beam computed
tomography scans around functional endosseous implant in the
region of both augmented maxillary sinus with the an-organic
bovine bone graft and the alveolar bone over which the graft
was placed to provide space for the implants.
Materials and Methods: Sterile freeze dried bovine bone graft
produced by National Tissue Bank, University Sains, Malaysia
was used for stage-1 implant placement with maxillary sinus
augmentation in a total of 19 subjects with 19 implants. The
age of all subjects ranged between 40-60 years with a mean
age 51±4.70. All subjects underwent a follow up CT scan using
PlanmecaPromax 3D ®Cone beam computed tomography
scanner at the Radiology department, Hospital University Sains,
Malaysia. The collected data was then analysed to evaluate bone
density in Hounsfield Units using PlanmecaRomexis™ Imaging
Software 2.2 ®which is specialized accompanying software of
the cone beam computed tomography machine.
Results: There was bone formation seen at the site of the
augmented sinus. A significant increase (p<0.005) in bone
density was reported at the augmented site compared to the
bone density of the existing alveolar bone.
Conclusion: An-organic bovine bone graft is an osteoconductive
material that can be used for the purpose of maxillary sinus
augmentation. |
