Effects of Different Bone Substitutes on Reactive Oxygen Species Release in Leukocytes in Vitro: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the formation of reactive oxygen species in human leukocytes promoted by bone substitutes that are different in origin and morphology used for jawbone tissue regeneration.

Materials And Methods: This preclinical prospective randomized crossover study involved 10 subjects, from whom venous blood samples were taken. Leukocytes were separated and standardized.

Comparative Analysis of Blood Clot, Plasma Rich in Growth Factors and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Resistance to Bacteria-Induced Fibrinolysis.

Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a common, painful postoperative complication after tooth extraction. Fibrinolytic activity in the extraction socket is one etiological factor. Platelet concentrates are used to prevent and treat AO.
