Coralline Hydroxyapatite Bone Graft in Non-Contained Defects: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Substitute bone grafts are gaining popularity in orthopaedics and faciomaxillary surgery. There are numerous products that are available to clinicians currently on the market. Here, we present a case report of a large non-contained mandibular defect that was successfully treated with a Coralline Hydroxyapatite (CHA). This paper will discuss the need for CHA in dental bone defect repair, and it’s effectiveness in the specific case study.
