Retracted: Histomorphometric and mineral degradation study of Ossceram®: a novel biphasic B‐tricalcium phosphate, in critical size defects in rabbits

Objective: To carry out a histomorphometric analysis of a new highly porous (95%) biphasic calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite 60%/B‐tricalcium phosphate 40%), used to fill critical size defects in rabbit tibiae, supplementing histomorphometric findings with radiographic thermal imaging, EDX analysis and Ca/P ratio mapping at different time stages. Materials and methods: Two critical size defects of 6 mm diameter were created in both tibiae of 21 New Zealand rabbits, test group (Ossceram®) and control group. Histomorphometric, radiographic thermal imaging, EDX and element mapping analysis were performed at 15, 30 and 60 days after graft insertion. Results: Histomorphometric analysis at 30 days showed more new bone formation in defects filled with Ossceram® 4.41 ± 0.23 mm than the test group 1.94 ± 0. 28 mm (P
