Comparison of crosslinked and non-crosslinked collagenated xenografts for vertical bone augmentation in rabbit calvaria.

ABSTRACT: Bovine or porcine xenografts, which are readily available and possess osteoconductivity, are widely used for bone augmentation in clinical practice. The addition of collagen to particulated bone graft material improves handling characteristics and helps maintain graft integrity. These collagenated bone, when collagen is appropriately cross-linked, provide enhanced osteogenic potential and structural stability. However, studies on the histological changes due to the use of collagenated bovine bone for vertical bone augmentation are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the osteoconductivity and volume stability of two collagenated xenografts-deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) with crosslinked bovine collagen (DBBM-Cb; A-Oss Collagen) and non-crosslinked porcine collagen (DBB
