Guided Bone Regeneration Using BioGlue As a Barrier Material With and Without Biphasic Calcium Phosphate: A Histological and Histomorphometric Study

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Bioglue as a mechanical barrier with or without biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) in a rat tibia model. Sixty Sprague Dawley male rats weighing 250 ± 20 g and 10 to 12 weeks of age were studied. Unicortical defects were created on the right tibia of all rats. Subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups. BioGlue group (24 rats); BioGlue alone, Graft group (24 rats); BioGlue + BCP and Control group; unfilled and uncovered (12 rats). Animals were euthanized at 7th, 21st, and 45th days postoperatively for histological and histomorphometric analyses. BioGlue material exhibited no adverse effects until the end of observation period. Bone-healing scores did not differ statistically between Control and BioGlue group, but found to be lower in Graft group on 21st and 45th days, (P
