Abstract

The purpose of this study was the physicochemical characterization of four commercially available xenogeneic materials recommended for periodontal regeneration. The investigation was performed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analysis. The xenogeneic materials are mixtures of amorphous and crystalline phases based on hydroxyapatite (HAP), with variable degrees of crystallinity and crystallite dimensions. They contain different amounts of water, collagen, and mineral phase based on A- and B-type carbonated HAP, with various hydroxylation degrees. The xenogeneic biomaterials are different regarding both the appearance form (granules, spongy block, and bone paste) and ultrastructure (from trabecular architecture to reticulate structure). The biomaterials characteristics are expected to affect their in vivo performance and to influence the outcome of the periodontal treatment..
