The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of fabricating a CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge to overcome these drawbacks. The CO<sub>3</sub>Ap granules sponge was successfully fabricated by mixing 300–600 µm CO<sub>3</sub>Ap granules with 3 % atelocollagen, followed by lyophilization at − 70 °C for 24 h and a dehydrothermal treatment at 150 °C for 24 h.

No significant intraoperative scatter and postoperative migration were evident when the bone defects were reconstructed with the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge, whereas significant both intraoperative scatter and postoperative migration were observed when the bone defect was reconstructed with CO<sub>3</sub>Ap granules. Although less osteogenesis was anticipated for the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge due to the coverage of CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules surface with atelocollagen, no significant differences were observed in bone formation between the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge and CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules cases because the 3 % atelocollagen and lyophilization kept the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap granules surface only partially covered. Consequently, the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge and CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules exhibited similar bone formation at both 2 and 4 weeks after surgery. Thus, the CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules sponge improved the handling performance and retention ability at the bone defects without scarifying the osteogenesis of CO<sub>3</sub>Ap-granules.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Medicine and Pathology","volume":"37 1","pages":"Pages 42-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141138218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
