Role of Sticky Bone in the Management of Various Alveolar Bone Defects: A Systematic Review

Vidhuta Sareen et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Aim: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sticky bone in managing various alveolar bone defects, examining both its benefits and drawbacks.

Materials and methods: The review adhered to PRISMA guidelines and employed a thorough search strategy using major databases, medical subject headings (MeSH) keywords, and Boolean operators. As a result, the systematic review identified 12 studies focusing on the efficacy of sticky bone in treating alveolar bone defects. Inclusion criteria consisted of randomized controlled trials and case series reporting on the outcomes of sticky bone use for bone defect treatment. Two examiners meticulously performed screening, data extraction, and bias assessment, with the risk of bias evaluated using the Cochrane tool.

Result: The findings indicated significant improvements in bone quality, width, height, and volume, with enhanced predictability in socket preservation and implant placement. Sticky bone was particularly effective in ridge augmentation, guided bone regeneration, and filling periodontal defects, often outperforming alternatives like concentrated growth factors (CGFs) and autologous fibrin glue (AFG). It simplified procedures and reduced resorption during healing, underscoring its value as a versatile adjunct in bone reconstruction surgery.

Conclusion: Sticky bone demonstrated exceptional results in various oral surgeries, effectively addressing issues such as furcation defects, bone loss, and ridge augmentation, with significant clinical and radiographic improvements. Further research is needed to explore its full potential and refine protocols for broader oral surgery and periodontics applications.

Keywords: alveolar bone defects; bone graft; growth factors; oral surgery; regenerative material; ridge augmentation; sticky bone; systematic review.
