<i>Retracted: </i>Histomorphometric and mineral degradation study of Ossceram^®: a novel biphasic B‐tricalcium phosphate, in critical size defects in rabbits

Abstract

Defects of a critical size in a rabbit tibia model can be sealed using a highly porous biphasic calcium phosphate; this supports new bone formation, creates a bridge between borders and facilitates bone ingrowth. Furthermore, this study observed partial dissolution of the mineral phase of the graft material and its incorporation into the surrounding bone. Radiographic thermal imaging may be used to supplement histological and chemical analyses.
