Abstract
Different forms of allogenous and autogenous bone grafts have been
studied for their potential use as bone substitutes. Although autogenous bone grafts is
a treatment alternative for bone regeneration and repair they have several
disadvantages like limitation of graft volume available, donor site morbidity and is
technique sensitive. Thus, use of other materials like processed bovine dentine and
Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) presents an alternative and a relatively simple technique
for bone regeneration and repair. The main aim of this study was to determine the
role of Processed Bovine Dentine and Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) in bone
regeneration and repair and to compare these two groups histlogically. A total of ten
healthy adult Albino male rats, aged 4 weeks weighing between 150 – 200gms were
used in the study. Three round surgical defects of approximately 1mm in diameter
were drilled in both the right and left femur. Processed bovine dentine was placed in
the right femur and Bio-Oss was placed in the left femur. Group I: - Processed
Bovine Dentine.Group II: - Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss). Bio-Oss graft displayed
osteoconductive properties and the best bone formation with complete resorption and
organization of the grafted materials. Based on histological findings, though
Processed Bovine dentine displayed osteoconductive properties its effect on bone
formation was slower compared to that of Bio-Oss. The results of the present study
supports that the use of Processed Bovine Dentine seems to be an alternative bone
substitute, although less effective than Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss).
