Histological evaluation of experimental bone grafting in vivo of lyophilized deproteinated bovine bone

Bone grafting biomaterials are important substances in currentdentistry. Thus, the objective of this study was to observe in anexperimental animal model, the clinical and histological response inthe effectiveness of defect filling and osteopromotion of a deproteinated lyophilized bovine bone, in the search for dental applications. It was concluded that the application of the biomaterial demonstrated maintenance of oral tissue volume; histological characteristics observed were favorable to the repair and neoformation of oral bone, with high vascularization, fusiform-like cell proliferation, and a foreign-body type cell inflammatory infiltrate.
