ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To evaluate the efficiency of packing jaw defects with a composite of coral and bone marrow.Methods:
Twelve patients (9 with jaw cyst and 3 with ameloblastoma) underwent enucleation of jaw lesion and packing with a composite of coral and bone marrow.Repair of the bone defects was evaluated at 1 week,1,6 and 12 months postoperatively by clinical examination and X-ray films.Results:
Wound healing after the operations on 10 patients was uneventful,and definite ossification around the implanted material could be detected at 1 month postoperatively.A lot of bone formation and partial resorption of coral were observed at 6 months postoperatively.Complete resorption of coral and complete bone repair were obtained at 12 months postoperatively.Wound breakdown was observed on two other patients,and the composite had to be removed completely.Conclusions:
A composite of coral and bone marrow may enhances bone healing in jaw defects after cyst or ameloblastoma removal.
