Dispersed biocomposite based on wollastonite/hydroxyapatite: Osteoplastic potential in terms of radiology
Objective: assessment of the bone tissue regeneration of alveolar ridge during implantation of biocomposite based on wollastonite/hydroxyapatite (HA) in the experiment.Methods: Four female rabbits were performed the extraction of lower left incisors under the general and local anesthesia followed by the augmentation with biocomposite. The results were assessed with cone beam computed tomography.Results: On the first day, the average density of bone structure of the alveolar socket was 37 HU; on the 60th day, it reached 1090 HU. The contour of the alveolar socket was not already visible on the 35th day. There were no signs of the osteolysis.Conclusions: The experiment result confirms the the participation of a CaSiO3/HA biocomposite in bone tissue regeneration, as evidenced by the dynamics of the increase in bone volume in the alveoli of the removed teeth of the lower jaw of experimental animals.
