Assessment of commercially available bone graft material in the implant placed socket to enhance the osteointegration

Abstract

Background: Alveolar bone resorption occurs in the majority of patients following teeth extraction. The present study was conducted to assess commercially available bone graft material in the implant placed socket to enhance the osteointegration. Materials & Methods: The present study comprised of 64 patients of both genders. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) was prepared according to Sacco’s protocol, using the patients’ own venous blood. Extraction of mandibular first molars was carried out and implants were immediately placed with CGF grafting. A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) was taken immediately after implant placement and after six months of undisturbed healing to assess the quantity and quality of new bone formed around implants. Results: Out of 64 patients, males were 40 and females were 24. The mean bone height was on buccal side immediately was 9.04 and after 6 months was 11.3, on lingual side immediately was 10.6 and after 6 months was 11.8, on distal side immediately was 8.3 and after 6 months was 11.0, on mesial side immediately was 7.5 and after 6 months was 11.2. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
