ABSTRACT
El presente estudio evalúa los resultados de la utilización del fosfato tricálcico beta en la preservación de alvéolos postextracción al emplearlo solo o en conjunto con membranas no reabsorbibles. Se seleccionaron 18 dientes con indicación de extracción y con condiciones favorables para la preservación del alvéolo y posterior colocación de un implante oseointegrado. En 10 alvéolos se utilizó como relleno fosfato tricálcico beta en conjunto con membrana no reabsorbible, y 8 alvéolos fueron tratados solamente con fosfato tricálcico beta. Previo a la cirugía se evaluó el ancho y alto de cada alvéolo, mediante una tomografía computarizada de alta resolución, evaluación que fue repetida 6 meses después de realizada la intervención quirúrgica. Al momento de efectuar la técnica quirúrgica para la instalación de los implantes se tomaron muestras histológicas del sitio de colocación del implante para estudiar las características histológicas del sitio injertado después de 6 meses de realizada la cirugía de extracción dentaria y preservación de alvéolo. El uso de fosfato tricálcico beta, independiente o no del uso de membrana, mantuvo la altura del alvéolo transcurridos 6 meses desde su colocación, mientras que el ancho del alvéolo se mantuvo solo en el grupo sin membrana. Los resultados histológicos demostraron cantidades variables de regeneración ósea.
The present study evaluated the results of the post-extraction socket preservation technique using Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate with and without the use of a non-resorbable membrane. A total of 18 teeth with indication of extraction and socket preservation were selected, with 10 alveoli being treated with Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate combined with a non-resorbable membrane, and the other 8 with Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate only. The width and height of each socket was evaluated using computed tomography, prior to the extraction, and 6 months after the surgery. At the time of performing the surgical technique for installing the implants, histological specimens were taken from the implant site in order to study the graft site 6 months after the dental extraction surgery and alveoli preservation.The use of Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate, whether a membrane is used or not, maintained the alveolar height 6 months after the extraction, while the width of the alveolus only remained in the group without membrane. Histological results showed varying amounts of bone regeneration.

PURPOSE: Many researches showed loss of alveolar bone in fresh extraction socket and even in case of immediate implant placement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-resorbable barrier membrane on the change of buccal and lingual alveolar bone in immediate implant placement into periapically infected extraction sockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immediate implants were placed into artificially induced periapical lesion of mandibular premolars after complete debridement using buccal bone defect made by a 6mm trephine bur in 4 mongrel dogs. Before flap repositioning, a non-resorbable barrier membrane was placed on the buccal defect in the experimental group. No membrane was placed in the control group. In 12 weeks after placement, the dogs were sacrificed and undecalcified histologic specimens were prepared. The vertical distance from the smooth-rough surface interface(SRI) to gingiva, 1st bone contact and bone crest were measured in buccal and lingual side. The horizontal thicknesses of gingiva and bone at 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm below SRI were measured. RESULTS: The buccal bone was resorbed more than lingual bone in both groups and there was statistical significance(p<0.05). The distances from SRI to 1st bone contact were 2.45+/-2.35 mm in experimental group and 4.49+/-3.10 mm in control group. In all vertical level, lingual bone was thicker than buccal bone(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Buccal bone was reduced more than lingual bone in immediate implant placement into periapically infected extraction sockets. Placement of non-resorbable barrier membrane reduced the buccal bone resorption. However there was no statistical significance.
