Histological evaluation of experimental bone grafting in vivo of lyophilized deproteinated bovine bone

Resumo

Bone grafting biomaterials are important substances in current
dentistry. Thus, the objective of this study was to observe in an
experimental animal model, the clinical and histological response in
the effectiveness of defect filling and osteopromotion of a deproteinated
lyophilized bovine bone, in the search for dental applications. It was
concluded that the application of the biomaterial demonstrated
maintenance of oral tissue volume; histological characteristics observed
were favorable to the repair and neoformation of oral bone, with high
vascularization, fusiform-like cell proliferation, and a foreign-body type
cell inflammatory infiltrate.
