Abstract:

The aim of the study was to find out the status of mandibular bone regeneration after applying beta tricalcium phosphate in post extraction socket of mandibular impacted 3rd molar teeth. 40 patients were selected for this research who came to the department of Oral Surgery at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh for seeking treatment. They were divided into two groups in respect of age, sex and presence of desired tooth. Among those 40 cases, 20 cases (study) got used beta tricalcium phosphate as bone substitute in post extraction sockets and remaining 20 cases (control) got no bone substitute. Post operative clinical examination and radiological evaluation wereperformed at immediate after operation then at 1, 3, 6 months postoperatively. The rate of bone formation in the bony defects was measured by Orthopantomograph. Healing and gradual filling of the bony cavities were obtained in all cases. Computer based statistical analysis of the post operative radiography showed reduction in size of the bony defect and gradual increase of radio-opacity were found better in the study group than that of control group. Uniformed bone regeneration could be obtained after extraction of mandibular horizontal impacted 3rd molar teeth with use of beta tricalcium phosphate. The results of this study advocate the use of beta tricalcium phosphate into post extraction socket of mandibular horizontally impacted 3rd molar teeth as a bone substitute because it reduces the time of localized bone formation than no use of beta tricalcium phosphate.
