Evaluation of the Parietal Bones in the Rat as a Specific Site for the Testing of Osteogenic Materials. A Simple Animal Model to Study Bone Implant Material.

Abstract

A full-thickness periosteal scalp flap overlying the parietal bones of rats was made and a trephine was used to prepare a 2.5 mm diameter osseous defects to the pia mater. Healing was evaluated by gross and histologic examination at two-week intervals for eight weeks using a Zeiss Videoplan Image Analysis System with Osteoplan. None of the osseous defects healed by bony union. (Author)
