title: Bone Forming Potential of An-Organic Bovine Bone Graft: A Cone Beam CT study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  An-organic bovine bone graft is a xenograft with the potential of bone formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone density using cone beam computed tomography scans around functional endosseous implant in the region of both augmented maxillary sinus with the an-organic bovine bone graft and the alveolar bone over which the graft was placed to provide space for the implants.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sterile freeze dried bovine bone graft produced by National Tissue Bank, University Sains, Malaysia was used for stage-1 implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation in a total of 19 subjects with 19 implants. The age of all subjects ranged between 40-60 years with a mean age 51±4.70. All subjects underwent a follow up CT scan using PlanmecaPromax 3D(®) Cone beam computed tomography scanner at the Radiology department, Hospital University Sains, Malaysia. The collected data was then analysed to evaluate bone density in Hounsfield Units using PlanmecaRomexis" Imaging Software 2.2(®) which is specialized accompanying software of the cone beam computed tomography machine.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was bone formation seen at the site of the augmented sinus. A significant increase (p<0.005) in bone density was reported at the augmented site compared to the bone density of the existing alveolar bone.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An-organic bovine bone graft is an osteoconductive material that can be used for the purpose of maxillary sinus augmentation.
