Abstract
“Bone Wax” (Ethicon) intra-alveolar implantation was evaluated clinically and histologically in patients after maxillary medial incisor extraction. Twenty-four patients were used forming control and treated groups. Clinical and radiographic examinations were made on the 4th to the 63rd postoperative day. Osseous biopsies were taken on the 7th, 21st, 42nd, and 63rd postoperative days.According to the results of this experiment, we think it is possible to conclude that “Bone Wax” is an effective hemostatic agent. It was well tolerated by the surrounding tissues when implanted into the dental socket, although, it promoted a moderate inflammatory reaction, delaying the healing of the alveolar apical third.
