This study was an initial evaluation of the use of a bovine-derived bone protein (BP) extract that contains various growth factors combined with decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) as regenerative treatment for class II mandibular furcations. Twenty-five patients were divided into 5 groups according to the dosage of BP present per mg of DFDBA to be grafted: (1) 0.00 microgram/mg, (2) 3.13 micrograms/mg, (3) 6.25 micrograms/mg, (4) 12.5 micrograms/mg, and (5) 25.0 micrograms/mg. Surgical exploration of the furcation defects was performed followed by grafting with BP/DFDBA. Results at 6 months showed that attachment gain in the treated furcation areas was greatest in Groups 4 and 5, suggesting that BP has the potential to increase the effects of DFDBA in gaining clinical attachment in mandibular class II furcations.

Precise volumetric measurement of newly formed bone after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) can help clinicians in planning for dental implants. This study aimed to introduce a novel modular framework to facilitate volumetric calculations based on manually drawn segmentations of user-defined areas of interest on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images MATERIAL & METHODS: Two interconnected networks for manual segmentation of a defined volume of interest and dental implant volume calculation, respectively, were used in parallel. The volume data of dental implant manufacturers were used for reference.

Objective: Although autogenous grafting is accepted as the gold standard in intraoral grafting, xenogenous grafts are frequently used in sinus lift surgeries due to their osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of fish spine-derived xenogenic grafts in sinus augmentation surgery.

Material And Methods: In this study, a fish spine-derived xenogenic graft was produced for comparison with autogenous graft and bovine derived xenogenic grafts.

Background: Milk allergy commonly occurs in children, mainly caused by bovine-derived casein (CAS) protein. Neutrophil-activating protein (NAP) of plays an immunomodulatory role with potential to suppress Th2-type immune responses. () spores are commonly used as oral vectors for drug delivery.

Lately, the potential risk of disease transmission due to the use of bovine-derived bone substitutes has become obvious, demonstrating the urgent need for a synthetic grafting material with comparable bioactive behaviour and properties. Therefore, the effect of a synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) (Osbone) bone grafting material on bone regeneration was evaluated 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3, 6, 12 and 18 months after implantation in critical-size bone defects in the ovine scapula and compared to that of a bovine-derived HA (Bio-Oss) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) (Cerasorb M). New bone formation and the biodegradability of the bone substitutes were assessed histomorphometrically.
