Long-Term Outcomes of Bovine-Derived Xenografts in Alveolar Ridge Maintenance

EasyChair Preprint no. 12672

Abstract

Bovine-derived xenografts have been extensively utilized in alveolar ridge maintenance procedures due to their biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the long-term outcomes associated with the use of bovine-derived xenografts in alveolar ridge maintenance.

A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify studies reporting on the long-term performance of bovine-derived xenografts in alveolar ridge preservation and augmentation procedures. Key parameters assessed included implant success rates, bone regeneration, soft tissue integration, and patient satisfaction.

The results demonstrate favorable long-term outcomes associated with the use of bovine-derived xenografts. High implant success rates were consistently reported, with evidence of significant bone regeneration and preservation of alveolar ridge dimensions over time. Moreover, soft tissue integration was found to be excellent, contributing to esthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Challenges such as potential immunogenic reactions and long-term stability of graft materials were also discussed. However, overall, bovine-derived xenografts emerged as a reliable option for alveolar ridge maintenance, offering predictable and durable results over extended follow-up periods.

Keyphrases: Alveolar Ridge Maintenance, bone regeneration, Bovine-derived Xenografts, Dental implants, Implant Success Rates.
