PURPOSE: This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of synthetic hydroxyapatite mixed with autogenous bone marrow aspirate when used as a bone graft substitute in maxillo-mandibular osseous defects. METHODS: This study included nine patients with histopathalogically proven benign osteolytic lesions in maxilla and mandible that were treated with enucleation or marginal resection followed by bone marrow aspirate coated synthetic biphasic hydroxyapatite (hydroxyapatite and beta tricalcium phosphate) graft placement. Incorporation of graft was assessed based on Irwin's radiologic staging. The efficacy of graft to form new bone was radiologically evaluated by observing the sequential changes of density at grafted site using gray scale level histogram which was processed in adobe photoshop 7.0 elements. Clinical assessment of recipient and donor sites was done. RESULTS: Based on Irwin's radiologic staging, at 6 month follow up period, obvious incorporation of graft with new bone was observed. Sequential changes in bone density measured by gray scale histogram revealed initial resorption followed by replacement of BMA coated hydroxyapatite with new bone formation. None of the patients eventually had complications like infection, wound dehiscence, graft loss at recipient sites at 6 months follow up period. CONCLUSION: Autogenous bone marrow aspirate in combination with synthetic hydroxyapatite is an effective option for accelerating bone regeneration in small to moderate sized jaw bone defects. This mixture provides all the three critical elements needed for bone regeneration (osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction) with an added advantage of obviating donor site morbidity.
