Clinical application of bioactive glass-ceramic BAS-O for filling cyst cavities in stomatology.
A description is given of the bioactive glass-ceramic material, BAS-O, and of clinical tests of this material in stomatology. Granules of BAS-O bioactive glass-ceramic were used for implantation into cyst cavities in jaw bones. Radiological examination was carried out after 3, 6 and 12 months. A total of 37 radiographs of 23 patients were recorded and evaluated. Symptoms of ossification were found in 28 cases (75.7%), while five radiographs (13.5%) did not show visible bone apposition and loss of the BAS-O granules from the operation site was found in four cases (10.8%). The authors have demonstrated the excellent healing properties and tolerance for the BAS-O material, and no significant changes were observed in biochemical and haematological examinations.
