This study aimed to investigate the application of low-intensity electrostimulation (ES) and electromagnetic stimulation (EM) associated with bioactive glass (BG) or allogeneic grafts (BB) in bone regeneration. A cell viability test on osteoblasts (UMR-106) was performed in the presence of BB and BG grafts associated with ES (10 μA/5 min) and EM (500 Hz/2 min). Critical defects (25 mm ) in calvaria were generated in male Wistar rats, and bone regeneration was evaluated on the 30th, 60th, and 120th days after surgery.
