Abstract

1. Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the differences in bone regeneration capacity following extraction between a control group without biomaterial placement and experimental groups where biomaterials were inserted (including xenograft, synthetic bone-containing collagen plugs, and collagen plugs).2. Materials and Methods : Bilateral extraction of maxillary first premolars or second premolars was performed, dividing the rabbits into four groups [① Group 1 :no bone graft or collagen plug inserted, ② Group 2: collagen plug inserted after extraction, ③ Group 3: collagen plug containing synthetic bone inserted after extraction, ④ Group 4: xenograft material inserted after extraction]. After euthanized the rabbit, Four and eight weeks postoperatively, the extent of bone formation were evaluated histologically and radiographically.3 Results : The degree of new bone formation using histological analysis showed higher results in both the control groups at weeks 4 and 8, although not statistically significant. Across all groups, higher bone formation was observed at 8 weeks compared to 4 weeks. In radiological analysis using micro CT, Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and Bone Volume/Tissue Volume(BV/TV) were highest in Group 4. Trabecular bone thickness(Tb.Th) was highest in the control group, but not statistically significant.4. Conclusion : In all groups, the degree of new bone formation at 4 and 8 weeks did not show statistically significant differences histologically and radiologically.
