A Fundamental Study on Plaster Implant applied for an Infrabony Pocket (Part II)

Abstract

A plaster disk was implanted in rabbit's femoral muscles, and determinations were made of calcium and phosphorus in the blood before implantation and at a week intervals after implantation.
The results obtained were as follows:
1) After implantation the calcium level significantly increased for two to five weeks and the phosphorus level markedly decreased for one to five weeks.
2) Following implantation the tissue damage was found to be very slight.
