Xenograft Bone Substitute (4)
When placing a dental implant into the previously augmented site using bone grafting materials, it is highly advised to always locate and utilize the patient's own immaculate natural bone areas, if any, in addition to the previously listed consideration considerations. Even more so, regardless of the surgical site, are the cases when the histologic results are not assessed prior to implant insertion operation.
Concerns over the physicochemical characteristics of specific grafting materials are rare among doctors. Prior to surgery, it could be useful to measure the pH of the grafting materials and compare the results with the clinical findings, particularly if the pH value is outside of the usual range. Twelve distinct xenograft bone substitutes, including those of bovine, pig, and equine origin, were tested for pH value, while three distinct alloplastic bone substitutes served as the control group (Ham 201827). According to the report, the majority of bone grafting substitutes on the market displayed a pH value in the somewhat neutral range of 6.79 to 8.07, with the exception of two substitutes, Cerabone (Botiss Dental, Germany) and TiOss (Chiyewon, Korea), which displayed comparatively higher basic pH values of 9.80 and 10.32, respectively (Table 3).
