MENDOZA-BARRERA, C.; MELENDEZ-LIRA, M.; GARCIA-LOPEZ, E.  and  HERNANDEZ-FLORES, C.. Caracterización estructural y biointegración del substituto óseo BioOsteo^®. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2004, vol.50, n.1, pp.19-23. ISSN 0035-001X.

The aim of this work is the characterization and evaluation of the biointegration of BioOsteo^® (Hig-Med) bony graft on a rat tibia model. No implant rejection or inflammatory reaction was observed during an 8 weeks period in our in vivo studies. The evolution of the osteointegration was followed employing scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-rays Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We concluded that BioÓsteo^® based graft is a calcite-based biomaterial that works by a displacement mechanism and we suggested its use like bony graft for width bones.

Keywords : Bone substitute; osteointegration; mineralization.
