January 2010
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the possible effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the healing of critical-sized defects that were grafted with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) combined with Pluronic F127 (F127) to form a gel or putty, or a commercially available biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), mixed either with blood or F127 to form a putty.
Study Design: Twenty New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups of 10 animals each. Bilateral 15-mm calvarial defects were created in the parietal bones of each animal, resulting in 40 critical-sized defects.

Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the repair of critical-sized defects in the presence and absence of a nonvascularized autogenous bone graft.
Study Design: Ten New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups of 5 animals each. Bilateral 15-mm calvarial defects were created in the parietal bones of each animal, resulting in 20 critical-sized defects.
