Abstract
Besides the main aim of bioceramic as bone substitutes, the seeding of biomaterials with drugs to diminish inflammatory response as pain and swelling is also important. Synthetic hydroxyapatite ceramic tablets were saturated with dexamethasone or lidocaine and implanted subperiostaly on angle of lower jaw of rabbits. Immunohistochemical methods for evaluation of growth factors and apoptosis were applied. Our results may enhance comprehension on reactogenicity of HAp bioceramic implants as bone substitutes in subperiostal environment.
