Abstract
The healing of bone defects with or without reconstruction today is relatively satisfactory. Large bone defects of the jaw, so far, have been filled with various types of bone implants (autologous, homologous, xenogenic and alloplastic).
The best implant will be after implantation in bone defects, would stimulate the formation of bone, form and firm conection with the base and have the characteristics of bone.
The investigation included two patients with large bone defects after removal of jaw cysts. To fill the bone defects we used bone substitute Chron OSTM .
Chron OSTM is syntetic ß tricalcium phosphate. It is an alloplastic bone implant. Previous investigations showed that Chron OSTM is osteoconductive, resorbable and highly biocompatible with compressive strength similar to the compressive strength of cancellous bone.
Results are presented on the basis of clinical followup and X-ray performed preoperativly, postoperativly and after six months.
The patients were screened using panoramic X-rays standardised with copper stepwedge. Using microdensitometric method all the measured values were expressed in the equivalents of actual copper stepwedge thickness.
