Multidisciplinary Utilization of Surgi-plaster: Chemical, Physical, Biological Properties and Mechanisms of Action and Resorption

Abstract

in surgical sites, where primary closure could not be achieved. A study by Strocchi, et al. [3] created bone defects in rabbit tibias by filling them with sulfate granules (Surgiplaster) or autologous bone. Microvascular density (MVD) was increased at sulphate-treated sites, suggesting a positive effect on angiogenesis. This increase in vascularity may be the reason for the positive biological effect of the material. Walsh,
