Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the osseous response to implan ted par-tides of an anorganic xenograft bone mineral, Bio-Oss, in sin patients with severely resorbed alveolar ridges. The observation perio d varied between 9 and 44 months; in five of six patients, long-term b one regeneration around the implants was observed. Histologic examinat ion of biopsy material obtained from the graft area showed Bio-Oss par ticles still present in all patients after the varying observation per iods. This raises the question whether Bio-Oss may be regarded as a re sorbable material, as previously reported.
