Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluation of effect on bone formation of PRP and fibrin sealant with deproteinized bovine bone(Bio-Oss) grafts on rabbit cranial defect. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve rabbits were used as experimental animal Two equal 9mm diameter cranial bone defects were created in each rabbit and immediately grafted with Bio-Oss only, Bio-Oss and PRP, and Bio-Oss and Fibrin sealant. Rabbits were sacrificed at 4 and 8 week. The defects were evaluated by histomorphometric analysis.
Results
Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed comparing new bone formation via histomorphometric analysis. No statistically significant difference of new bone formation was found between Bio-Oss only, Bio-Oss and PRP, and Bio-Oss and fibrin sealant at 4 and 8 weeks (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
This study fails to find a stimulatory effect of PRP and Fibrin sealant on New bone formation of Bio-Oss grafts by histomorphometric analyses.
