Comparison of Low and High Temperature Sintering for Processing of Bovine Bone as Block Grafts for Oral Use: A Biological and Mechanical In Vitro Study.

ABSTRACT: Large oral bone defects require grafting of bone blocks rather than granules to give physically robust, biocompatible and osteoconductive regeneration. Bovine bone is widely accepted as a source of clinically appropriate xenograft material. However, the manufacturing process often results in both reduced mechanical strength and biological compatibility. The aim of this study was to assess bovine bone blocks at different sintering temperatures and measure the effects on mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Bone blocks were divided into four groups; Group 1: Control (Untreated); Group 2: Initial boil for 6 h; Group 3: Boil 6 h followed by sintering at 550 °C for 6 h; Group 4: Boil 6 h followed by sintering at 1100 °C for 6 h. Samples were assessed for their purity, crystallinity, mech
