Abstract: Objective: To evaluate local bone formation following surgical implantation of coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) in combination with concentrated growth factor (CGF) using a rabbit calvarial defect model. Methods: Twenty-four rabbits were included in this randomized study. A circular defect in a diameter of 10mm was prepared on the parietal bone. The first group was filled with CHA/CGF and CHA. The second group was filled with CHA/CGF and void. The third group was filled with CGF and void. The bone formation was analyzed with microscopic computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological examination after 6 and 12 weeks. Results: With micro-CT analysis, bone volume and bone mineral density in the CHA/CGF group were the highest, followed by CGF group, and the blank control group was the lowest (P<0.05). Histological examination showed that new bone was distributed throughout the CHA scaffold in the specimens of CGF/CHA group after 6 weeks, and new bone appeared in the periphery region of the defects in the CGF group. The bone defects of CGF/CHA group were repaired fully with bone after 12 weeks, while those of the CGF group were repaired partly with bone. Conclusion: Combination of CHA and CGF could enhance the bone healing considerably.
