Vascular endothelial growth factor and biphasic calcium phosphate in the endosseous healing of femoral defects: An experimental rat study.

This may be significant because alloplasts alone are only osteoconductive and frequently heal by stimulating surrounding tissue growth. 21 The main core of alloplasts usually remains intact due to insufficient vascularization and reach of extracellular fluids. 22 , 31 Due to the disadvantages of HA alone, such as its fragile surface characteristics and irregular biodegradation, the use of β-TCP graft material in combination with HA has become widespread. 9 , 32 The BA material used in the present study consisted of a combination of HA and β-TCP at ratios of 60% and 40%, respectively.
