Prospective assessment of post-extraction gingival closure with bone substitute and calcium sulphate

Clinical and Histologic Outcomes of Calcium Sulfate in the Treatment of Postextraction Sockets

“…5 The resorptive behavior of CS was clearly confirmed in histologic examinations of this case series. In fact, bone biopsies taken at 3 months after graft showed that the particles of CS have been completely resorbed and substituted by newly formed bone or amorphous material that could be considered as CS in transformation.…”

Usage of Bone Replacement Grafts in Periodontics and Oral Implantology and Their Current Levels of Clinical Evidence — A Systematic Assessment

“…At the end, 189 articles were included. Overall, 55 studies were categorized at level I 12–66 . Twenty‐six were level II, 67–92 nine were level III, 93–101 46 were level IV S1‐S46 (see references in http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp1.pdf and http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp2.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ), and 53 were level V S47‐S99 (see references in http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp1.pdf and http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp3.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ).…”

“…Some of these studies used more than one type of alloplast graft and/or other types of grafts (see http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_suptab5.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ). There were more level I studies involving alloplasts when compared with allografts and xenografts (26 studies) 17‐24,26,28,51‐66 . Levels II and III represent eight studies 69‐72,77,90‐92 and four studies, 93‐95,101 respectively.…”

“…Grafts were mainly used for treatment of supra‐ and infrabony defects 19,20,22‐24,55‐57,59‐61 and sinus augmentation 17,18,54,62‐64,66 . There were three studies 21 , 53 , 65 on ridge augmentation/GBR and three studies 26 , 52 , 58 on postextraction grafting. Furthermore, there was one study on furcation treatment 51 and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) treatment 28 .…”

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Fibrin, Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate, Platelet-Rich Plasma and Resorbable Collagen on Soft Tissue Closure of Extraction Sites

“…Calcium ions subsequently combine with phosphate ions from the host to form calcium phosphate, which provides a scaffold for bone ingrowth into the defect. In addition, CSH has angiogenic and hemostatic properties [5]. …”
