Evaluation of Goose-beak Bone Particles for Dentoalveolar Reconstruction in Dogs
2020
BACKGROUND/AIM: Tooth extraction is a common procedure in dental clinics. Tooth extraction can destroy gingiva, alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments and cement. If dental sockets are left as extracted, it will result in loss of teeth, as well as voice and aesthetic problems. A natural hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramic bone graft substitute developed from goose-beak bone particles (GBPs) was used for dentoalveolar reconstruction in a canine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four adult (18-22 months old) male beagle dogs weighing 8.2-9.6 kg were included in the study. Eight alveolar extraction sockets in the four dogs were divided randomly into two groups and a split-mouth design was established; control group, socket filled with commercial synthetic HA; tested group, socket filled with granulated GBP. RESULTS: Micro-CT analysis and hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining of non-decalcified sections were undertaken. Examination revealed that dentoalveolar reconstruction was initiated from the periphery of the host bone, and newly formed bone was well integrated with the GBP. Bone apposition was observed at the edge of the host bone-GBP interface. CONCLUSION: A natural ceramic powder obtained from GBP is suitable for use in dentoalveolar reconstruction in dogs.
