The Effect of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Bone Graft Material

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone used in jumping gap around immediate implant in socket type 1 in esthetic zone, as it was recommended to be used as an alternative for other bone graft materials. The aim was to study the effect of BCP on labial plate of bone over 6 month of healing and to compare results with xenograft as control, CBCT at the day of surgery and another after 6 month were superimposed to measure the vertical and horizontal labial plate dimension at three levels. The study revealed that BCP have similar result as xenograft in the gab distance with relatively similar bone loss percentage of labial plate vertically and horizontally and acceptable pink esthetic score similar to control group. While the attached gingiva width and gingival biotype changes were insignificance between two groups. Study group has less percentage of bone loss vertically yet the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.1530). also study group showed less percentage of bone loss in horizontal dimension at 2mm level yet the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.901).
