Histomorphometric Analysis of Bone Formation in Bony Defects Around Implants in Adult Dogs: A Comparison of Grafts of Low and High Heat-Treated Autogenous Tooth Ash

초록

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to compare the bone formation of autogenous tooth ash treated with different temperatures.Materials and Methods:Heat treatment was rendered by powder after extraction of teeth from dogs. The bony defects were made at iliac and resorbable blast medium surfaced implant placement and bone graft was performed; no bone graft group (control group), low heat-treated tooth ash group (group 1), high heat-treated tooth ash group (group 2). Right side had healing periods of 12 weeks, and the left side had 6 weeks. Histomorphometrical analysis was performed at 12 weeks.Results:The control group had poor bone formation and showed large loose connective tissue. Group 1 displayed good healing and bone formation. Group 2 showed higher rate of bone formation than group 1 and the control group. The high heat-treated tooth ash group showed a statistically significant increase in the rate of bone formation in the early stage.Conclusion:The heat-treated autogenous tooth ash powder showed excellent new bone formation. The temperature of heat treatment is an important factor in new bone formation. The high heat treatment was the optimal treatment method for making tooth ash than the low heat treatment.
