Abstract

In 19 patients with major periapical osseous defects, i.e. with an extended indication for apicoectomy, jaw bone defects were filled with tricalcium phosphate ceramics (ILMAPLANT®-Rl). Follow-up period was from one to four years postoperatively. Clinical success rate was 84% but radiologically complete healing occurred in 74% of our patients. The results of this study warrant the conclusion that ILMAPLANT®-R1 is a biocompatible resorbable implant material suitable for filling major postoperative periapical osseous defects, allowing the indication for apicoectomy to be extended.
