Abstract
The purpose of the study was to perform an immunohistochemical and histological
evaluation of samples taken from different bone regeneration procedures in
atrophic human mandible. 30 patients (15 men and 15 women, age range of
35–60 years), non-smokers, with good general and oral health were recruited in
this study and divided into three groups. The first group included patients who
were treated with blood Concentration Growth Factors (bCGF), the second group
included patients who were treated with a mixture of bCGF and autologous bone,
while the third group of patients was treated with bCGF and tricalcium
phosphate/hydroxyapatite (TCP-HA). Six months after the regenerative procedures,
all patients undergone implant surgery, and a bone biopsy was carried out in the
site of implant insertion. Each sample was histologically and
immunohistochemically examined. Histological evaluation showed a complete bone
formation for group II, partial ossification for group I, and moderate
ossification for group III. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a
statistically significant difference between the three groups, and the best
clinical result was obtained with a mixture of bCGF and autologous bone.
