Guided Bone Regeneration by Chitosan

Generally, the regeneration of bone is one of the most important processes in clinics. Lately, guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been shown to be an [Pg.188]

The determination of alkaline phosphatase activity is an excellent hio-marker to assess the osteoblastic differentiation on a material and also was significantly higher after 10 days of cultivation. In vivo tests on a rat model having a calvaria defect (diameter 5 mm) have been performed and bone regeneration has been studied. In contrast to the chitosan, the hybrid material (without any additional precultured cells) induced complete healing of the bone, while being completely resorbed after a period of 3 weeks. [Pg.192]
