At present, most of the bone xenograft for clinical application comes from bovine. In recent years, many studies have been done on the clinical application of porcine xenograft bone. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of canine mandibular defects reparation with antigen-extracted porcine cancellous bone by imaging examination. Four dogs’ bilateral mandibular defects were created, with one side repaired with autologous bone (set as control group) while the other side repaired with antigen-extracted porcine cancellous bone (set as experimental group). Titanium plates and titanium screws were used for fixation. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), computed tomography (CT), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were undertaken at week 12 and 24 postoperatively, and SPECT and CT images were fused. The results demonstrated that the remodeling of antigen-extracted porcine cancellous bone was slower than that of autologous bone, but it can still be used as scaffold for jaw defects. The results in this study provide a new choice for materials required for clinical reparation of jaw defects.
