Bone response to collagenized xenografts of porcine origin (mp3®) and a bovine bone mineral grafting (4BONE™ XBM) grafts in tibia defects: experimental study in rabbits

ConclusionsDefects of a critical size in a rabbit tibia model can be sealed using a bovine porous biphasic calcium phosphate and MP3 material; this supports new bone formation, creates a bridge between borders, and facilitates bone ingrowth in both biomaterials. Furthermore, this study observed partial dissolution of the mineral phase of four bone graft and complete resorption of porcine MP3 biomaterial and its incorporation into the surrounding bone. Depending on clinical needs, each biomaterial could be useful in daily clinical practice. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
