Effect of Bio-Oss grafts on tooth eruption: an experimental study in a canine model

Abstract

INTRODUCTION
There are few reports on tooth eruption through Bio-Oss grafts. To our knowledge, there are no reports on whether teeth can erupt normally through the grafts. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Bio-Oss grafts on tooth eruption in a canine model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In five 10-week-old dogs, the deciduous third mandibular molars in one jaw quadrant of each animal were extracted and the fresh extraction sockets were then filled with Bio-Oss particles (experimental side). No such treatments were performed on the contralateral side (control side). A clinical and radiological evaluation was carried out every other week to evaluate the eruption level of the permanent third mandibular premolars and compare the eruption levels between the two sides.
RESULTS
At week 4 after the experiment, the permanent third premolars began to erupt on both sides. At week 12, the crown of the permanent third premolar emerged from the gingiva on both sides. At week 20, the permanent third premolars on both sides erupted enough to occlude the opposing teeth. No significant differences were found between the control and experimental sides in terms of the eruption speed of the permanent third molars.
CONCLUSION
These findings demonstrate that the grafting of Bio-Oss particles into the alveolar bone defects does not affect tooth eruption.
