Five-Year 224-Patient Prospective Histological Study of Clinical Applications Using a Synthetic Bone Alloplast

Histologic and clinical evaluation for maxillary sinus augmentation using macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate in human

“…All surgical procedures were completed under local anesthesia (2% lidocaine, 1 : 100,000 epinephrine, Kwangmyung Pharm., Seoul, Korea). The surgical procedure for the maxillary sinus augmentation has been described elsewhere (Haris et al 1998). The cavity produced was filled with the graft material with meticulous condensation.…”

Ridge preservation: what is it and when should it be considered

“…It is a biocompatible microporous composite of methacrylate and calcium hydroxide. Haris et al 29 reported that after a period of 8 to 12 months there was sufficient hard tissue to place implants. More recently, biphasic calcium phosphate has become available in Australia.…”

Histologic and micro–computed tomographic evaluation of the osseointegration of a nonresorbable bone substitute in alveoli of ponies after tooth extraction

“…27 The choice of the methylmethacrylate-based NRBS in the present study was based on its reportedly excellent results as a grafting material in rats, 28 rabbits, 29 dogs, 30,31 and humans. [32][33][34] Findings of those studies indicated good biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties of the NRBS. According to Ashman and Bruins, 35 this type of bone graft is a nonresorbable, calcium-layered polymer of polymethylmethacrylate and hydroxyethylmethacrylate that has hydrophilic properties and a negative surface charge that creates a beneficial environment for osteogenesis.…”
