Resumen
QUINTANA DIAZ, Juan Carlos; RODRIGUEZ LLANES, Ricardo y HERNANDEZ CRUZ, Alfredo. Use of hydroxyapatite in periapical osteal repair. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2004, vol.41, n.3. ISSN 0034-7507.
The clinical and radiographic evolution of 55 patients among whom 60 periapical osteal defects were filled up with porous hydroxyapatite of national production was evaluated for a year. The evolution was excellent a year after the operation. The small alterations found in the soft tissues were related to surgical trauma. As there was a great osteointegration, its use is recommended in the treatment of osteal buccofacial defects due to its compatibility resulting from its similitude with the bone.
Palabras clave : Hydroxyapatite; radicular cyst [surgery]; osteointegration; endoosteal implantation.
