Abstract:
Objective
To evaluate the effects of coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) served as bone graft in patients with different types of peri-implant osseous defects, and to compare the survival and success rates of implants placed with or without CHA.
Methods
Forty nine patients with fifty eight peri-implant osseous defects (including dehiscence, fenestration, and horizontal type) were treated with CHA combined with resorbable membranes(the test group),while fifty nine patients with ninty implants were inserted into adequate volume of nonaugmented bones (the control group).When patients took the second stage surgery, examinations were performed to observe the effects of bone regeneration and changes of bone density of bone grafts.The survival/success rates and marginal bone levels of implants were compared between the test and the control group, and also studied in different types of bone defects in the test group.
Results
The osseointegration rates were 94.8% and 96.7% respectively in the test and control group at the second stage surgery.In follow-up (6-24 months after loading), the success rate of the test implants was 94.5% and the control ones 97.7%.In the test group, the survival rate was 100%, the bone regeneration success rate 89.1%, and forty nine implants achieved complete bone fill.The dehiscence type of peri-implant osseous defects had better bone regenaration effect and prognosis than the horizontal type, but inferior to the fenestration type, however the differences between the three typs were not statistically significant.Radiographic observation revealed that density of the coralline hydroxyapatite reduced with the time.No significant differences of marginal bone loss were observed between the test and control groups, and among the three types of the test group.
Conclusions
Coralline hydroxyapatite with good biocompatibility is an ideal bone graft substitute to induce bone regeneration and repair the bone defects effectively.Treated with coralline hydroxyapatite, the implants with peri-implant defects had similar survival/success rates and crestal bone levels as those implanted in adequate volume of bones.
