For ridge preservation procedures, the adjunctive use of biologics rendered an added therapeutic benefit to maintain ridge dimensions, especially the use of bone morphogenetic protein-2 for RW (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and RH (<i>p</i> = 0.09). Less non-mineralized tissue was found based on histologic analysis for the use of biologics compared to control groups (<i>p</i> = 0.009). For sinus floor elevation, no benefit was shown in terms of RH gain (<i>p</i> = 0.87). However, upon histomorphometric analysis statistically less residual graft material was noted when biologics were used in combination with scaffolds (<i>p</i> < 0.001) compared to treatments without biologics. No complications or adverse events were found when using biologics or cell-therapy in these applications.

Six weeks later, animals were treated with tamoxifen (15 mg/kg) or saline, with further subdivisions receiving cisplatin (5 mg/kg or 2.5 mg/kg) or saline. A non-ovariectomized group served as a negative control. Animals were euthanized at 30 and 90 days after treatment initiation. Tibiae were harvested for histometric analysis of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone ingrowth (BIN), histology, and immunohistochemistry (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase [TRAP], osteocalcin [OCN], and runt-related transcription factor [RUNX2]). Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used for ultrastructural and elemental analyses.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The groups that received TAM showed higher BIC and BIN, increased expression of RUNX-2 and OCN, and a lower number of TRAP-positive cells.
