Experimental reconstruction of the mandible using polyactic acid tubes and basic fibroblast growth factor in alloplastic scaffolds
Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the use of a mitogenic growth factor in combination with barrier membranes and porous alloplastic scaffolds for the repair of segmental defects of the mandible. - Materials and methods - - Results - Conclusion: Repair of segmental defects using bioresorbable membranes appears to be possible. However, a single-dose application of bFGF is apparently ineffective, possibly because of rapid dilution.
