Histological evaluation of tricalcium beta phosphate (BiograftG) as bone implant
Keywords:
Tricalcium beta phosphate, implantAbstract
With the aim to determine the histocompatibility, osteoconduction properties andbiodegradation of synthetic tricalcium beta phosphate (Biograft-G) obtained in the
Biomaterials Centre of Havana University we developed an experimental study
using 10 Beagle dogs in which were placed Biograft-G implants in femur and jaw
bones with their corresponding controls. The animals were sacrificed in three
different periods: 3, 6 months, one and two years time of implantation. Block bone
samples were obtained, fixed in 10 % neutral formalin, decalcified and processed
with the paraffin inclusion method and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. The
study was carried out with optical microscope. We conclude that, according to the
results obtained, Biograft-G is a histocompatible, osteoconductor and biodegradable
material.
