The Effect of Scaffold Hydroxyapatite derived from Portunus pelagicus Shell on the Expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) and Bone Morphogenetic Proteins-2 (BMP -2) in the Extraction Sockets of Cavia cobaya
Abstract:Objetive: To determine the expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)-2 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2 after application of scaffold hydroxyapatite from Rajungan crab shell (Portunus pelagicus) in the tooth extraction socket of Cavia cobaya. Material and Methods: This study used a post-test only control group design with 28 Cavia cobaya separated into two groups, control and treatment group. The left mandibular incisor was extracted, and socket preservation was conducted. A hydroxyapatite graft deriv… Show more
