This study was performed to evaluate bone formation in the calvaria of rabbit by the concept of guided bone regeneration with titanium mesh membrane and demineralized freeze-dried bone. The animal was sacrificed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the surgery. Non-decalcified specimens were processed for histologic analysis.
1. The titanium mesh but the biocompatibility was excellent the cell-occlusiveness was feeble.
2. The cell-occlusiveness was feeble and also the soft tissue growth of the upper part of the newly-formed bone after operating was excellent in early stage.
3. The maintenance ability of the space for the GBR very was excellent.
4. The titanium mesh the tissue-integration was superior the wound fixation ability excellent.
5. The demineralized freeze-dried bone did not promote the bone regeneration.
6. With the lapse of time, formation quantity of the bone some it increased, it increased quantity very it was feeble.
Within the above results, the titanium mesh for the guided bone regeneration was excellent, the demineralized freeze-dried bone confirmed does not promote bone regeneration.
