Physicochemical characterization of RSU-Graft comparison with Bio-Oss®
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bio-Oss® is the deproteinized bovine bone graft material that has been widely used in dentistry because of its successful treatment result, but its cost is relatively high. Therefore, it is beneficial to develop bone substitute comparable to Bio-Oss®. Thus, the purpose of this research is to compare physicochemical properties of RSU-Graft and Bio-Oss®. Bio-Oss® are xenogenic granules (bovine bone heated to 300ºC, sizes of granules are 0.25-1mm) and RSU-Graft is xenograft (bovine bones heated at 900ºC, sizes of granules are 0.25-1mm). This study used 4 measurement methods, including 1) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 2) X-ray diffraction (XRD), 3) energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and 4) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). For the results, RSU-Graft had the Ca/P ratio higher than 1.67 and did not have distinctive pore size to measure. The crystalline hydroxyapatite corresponded to HAp was slightly greater crystallinity than Bio-Oss®. Also, OH- groups were found in Bio-Oss® because there was small amount of water remaining in the sample, whereas RSU-Graft showed no OH- group which indicated complete dehydration. For conclusions, RSU-Graft had similar properties compared to Bio-Oss®. It had slightly higher crystallinity but it did not have distinctive pore size. Nevertheless, RSU-Graft needs further experiment on other physicochemical properties before in vitro and in vivo studies.
