Abstract
LOPEZ VALENZUELA, C.; JAVER MANZUR, E.; ARROYO PALACIOS, S. and OYARZUN DROGUETT, A.. Análisis ultraestructural de la formación ósea en relación con el OsteoGen®. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2002, vol.14, n.1, pp.29-36. ISSN 2340-3209.
OsteoGen®, has been widely used as osteoconductor material in periodontal surgery. Neverthelees the structural characteristic of the interfase and neoformated bone have scarcely assessed in human being. In order to be able to study the quality of the bone repairing around OsteoGen®, the material was grafted in bone defects in two patients. The biopsies were taken after 6 months and 12 months and processed for optical microscopy (mo) and electronic transmission (met). The results with mo after 6 months show a clear osteoconduction, which is noticiable at 12 months in practically all the particles.
