SOTOMAYOR MARIN, Tania  and  ACOSTA NAVARRO, María E.. Evaluación del osteocoral como material de implante en bolsas infraóseas de dientes multirradiculares. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 1999, vol.36, n.3, pp. 181-196. ISSN 1561-297X.

Effectiveness of osteocoral was assessed as material for implants at infraosseous pockets of multirooted teeth. 14 analised patients were divided into 2 groups: first, included 6 cases and 16 defects, which were evaluated ultil 6 months. Second, included 8 cases and 16 defects, evaluated at 12 and 24 months. In both groups, males and women, were included underwent to implants with osteocoral (study group) and hydroxiapatite (controls). Initial repair was performed including removal of calculus and polishing of denture surface, education, motivation, and assessment of tooth-brushing, which must show values similar or greater than 80 % in removal of dentobacterial plaque. Subsequently, implant was carried out by means of surgery or flap. Control X-rays were obtained within 14 days, 6 months (first group), and 12 and 24 months (second group). Systematically, we made control of oral hygiene in both groups. Again, clinical indicators were controlled within 6 months (first group) and 12 and 24 monts (second group). There was an statistically significant decrease in gingival index, pocket deep, and tooth loosening for both implant material, without large differences each another. Radiographically, we observed presence of filling material in original defect. There weren?t adverse local reactions and treatment was considered as effective.
