Abstract:

The amount of bone density in a metal implant recipient site markedly effects the success of the implant and the prosthesis. Therefore mechanisms designed to enhance bone density are necessary. Porous bone mineral (BioOss) was used in this study to demonstrate the ability of this product to be slowly resorbed and remodelled, and to enhance in the remodelling process of the amount of calcified bone matrix available for reception of any subsequent placed prosthesis. Further research on the effect of functional prosthesis on the osseous matrix and the long term effect of function on the increase bone matrix is needed.
