Assessment of regeneration of bone in the extracted third molar sockets augmented using xenograft (CollaPlug^TN Zimmer) in comparison with the normal healing on the contralateral side

Abstract

Introduction:Alveolar bone resorption is a significant clinical problem. Bone loss in third molar region following extraction or surgical removal not only leads to periodontal problems in second molar region but also it may lead to some serious problems like increased incidence of angle fractures. In order to reduce the risks following third molar surgery, the socket should be augmented with bone grafts. In recent days guided tissue regeneration is the most accepted and successful technique followed many authors and its efficacy has been proved.Materials and Methods:Based upon our clinical experience, the use of bio absorbable collagen wound dressing such as CollaPlugTN has achieved quick healing and more primary wound coverage. Amongst the graft materials collagen is preferable due to its high biocompatibility and hemostatic ability. This study was done to assess the regeneration of bone in the extracted third molar sockets using xenograft (CollaPlugTN-Zimmer) which was compared with the normal healing on the contra lateral side. The assessment was done to analyze post-operative healing complications and to compare the bone density formed between control site and implant site radiologically.Conclusion:On this basis of this study, the use of collaplugTN appears to be beneficial to the patient in postoperative wound healing and also for better bone formation. The use of this material was advantageous because of its simplicity of application cost effectiveness and availability. There is enhanced wound healing and early bone formation.

Use of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Accompanied by Bone Graft in Socket Endurance: A Radiographic and Histological Study

“…On the other hand, the absence of a membrane could be problematic [ 99 , 103 ]. Famili et al studied 20 extraction sockets in a sample of six persons [ 75 ].…”

Extraction Socket Augmentation with Autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): The Rationale for Socket Augmentation

“…In a CT scan investigation, studied the physiological phenomenon of post-extraction alveolar bone resorption and compared it with fresh extraction sites treated with a xenograft (Bio-Oss ® ) covered with a coronally advanced flap. They reported that this technique of SA provided a significant benefit in maintaining the original bone volume in treated sites [ 67 ]. Nevertheless, the histologic data showed that the residual graft conversion process was slow and was still ongoing even after 7 months, with this choice of biomaterial demonstrating again that xenografts are thoroughly a scaffold material with very slow turnover properties.…”

Polymer-Based Carriers in Dental Local Healing—Review and Future Challenges

“…It is the basis for the production of available barrier materials (Geistlich Bio-Gide, Geistlich, Wolhusen, Switzerland), biomaterials for bone augmentation (Geistlich Bio-Oss ® Collagen, Geistlich, Wolhusen, Switzerland), hemostatic sponges used postoperatively, i.e., CollaPlug ® , CollaCote ® , and CollaTape-zimmer biomet, as well as carriers that release the substance topically i.e., PerioCol™-CG [ 114 , 115 , 116 ]. Based on collagen, resorbable barrier materials are obtained to avoid re-operation to remove non-resorbable membranes in GTR/GBR procedures.…”

“…In clinical studies, the effects of the carrier were compared at 3 and 6 months after scaling root planing (SRP) and the simultaneous administration of the carrier into 20 periodontal pockets with a control group of patients where only SRP was applied. A statistically significant reduction in the BoP rate and improvement in the clinical location of the connective tissue attachment (CAL) were observed in the study group where a carrier was applied in addition to SRP [ 114 ].…”
