NOTE: Article in Italian.
Summary: Bovine hydroxyapatite and autologous fibrin glue was used in the insertion of endosseous implants via a maxillary sinus lift in a three-year follow up study. Complete osseous integration of the implants was achieved 2-3 years after the integration.
Quotation: “In particular we observed complete osseous integration of dental implants inserted in the mix of bovine hydroxyapatite and autologous fibrin glue is achieved 2-3 years after the intervention. After this period, possible pathological aspects suggest an early treatment to save the implants.”

Summary: Autologous fibrin adhesive was used to stabilize bone grafting materials (demineralized freeze-dried bone and deproteinized cancellous bovine bone) in the replacement of a missing first premolar in an atrophic posterior maxillary ridge.
Quotation: “This combined technique [demineralized freeze-dried bone and deproteinized cancellous bovine bone stabilized by fibrin adhesive] preserves the alveolar bone after extraction; simplifies the primary closure; avoids a second surgical site; and reduces the total operation time, cost, and inconvenience to the patient.”
“In addition, using fibrin adhesive to stabilize the bone graft materials avoided the possible complications associated with membranes used for guided bone regeneration, such as membrane perforation, infection, bone loss, and even loss of implants.”
