Article Synopsis
- The study explored how effective different biomaterials are in healing critical bone defects in rats using piezoelectric surgery, focusing on bone regeneration and tissue response.
- A total of 50 rats were divided into five groups, each receiving a different treatment for bone defects, and were analyzed at 30 and 45 days post-surgery for new bone formation.
- Results indicated that all biomaterials promoted bone regeneration without significant differences, suggesting that choosing a biomaterial should be based on specific clinical needs rather than just efficacy, and sometimes not using a filler may be just as effective and more cost-efficient.
