Summary: | Background: Bone grafting is a dynamic phenomenon. It is a
surgical procedure that replaces missing bone with material
either from patient’s own body, or, an artificial, synthetic or
natural substitute. A successful bone graft when applied, heals,
becomes incorporated, re-vascularises and eventually assumes
the form desired.
Aims and Objective: The main purpose of this present study was
to radiologically assess and compare the regenerative potential
of hydroxyapatite with Collagen (G-Graft) and hydroxyapatite
(G-Bone) and to evaluate the clinical usefulness of these materials
to enhance bone healing in third molar extraction sites through
bone formation.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the
Department of Oral & Maxillofacilal Surgery, patients were divided
into three groups. The rationale for assigning the patients to the
groups was strictly random: Group I – G-Graft (Hydroxyapatite with
Collagen) was used as Bone graft material, Group II – Bone graft
material used was G-Bone (Hydroxyapatite), Group III—control
group (no grafts was used). Orthopentomogram(OPG) images
were taken intra-operatively, just after extraction in the Group
III (control), after extraction but before graft placement in Group I
& II (study groups) and post-operatively at the end of first month
and third month. Bone density of the post-extraction sockets was
measured at four random areas through ‘densitometric analysis’
software in the OPG program (Kodak 8000C Digital Panoramic
System, Eastman Kodak Company) and an average value was
recorded at each review.
Results: The percentage increase in bone density between 1st
month & 3rd month was 7.55± 12.43 in Group I (G Graft), 4.41±
5.4859 in Group II (G Bone), while that Group III (control) was
found to be -0.82 ± 3.96. The bone density increase was found
to be statistically highly significant (p<0.01)) between all groups.
Conclusion: The present study concluded that G-Graft has a
definite regenerative potential and is better than G-bone and can
be used in bony defects to enhance the bone healing without
provoking any significant inflammatory process. The study also
indicates that defects treated with G-Graft attain more density
initially and that G-Graft enhances bone healing in early stage. |
