Description

Dentists rebuilding a jaw sinus often graft bone from the patient or from cattle. Emrah Soylu and co-authors test in 2024 whether fish spine could serve instead. They made a graft from fish spine and placed it in the sinuses of twenty-one rabbits. Each rabbit also received a cattle graft or its own bone elsewhere. Healing was checked at four and eight weeks with scans and tissue study.

At four weeks, the fish graft and the own-bone graft both grew new bone far better than the cattle graft. By eight weeks the groups converged, though the fish group held more bone volume than the cattle group. The authors conclude fish spine is a workable, low-cost graft source.
