The biomaterial made up of 60% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 40% beta tricalcium phosphate (&#946;-TCP) (Bone Ceramic®, Straumann S.A. Zurich, Switzerland) is a synthetic bone graft, biocompatible, whose biphasic composition enables it to bear the bone newly formation and maintain the tissue mechanical stability. The present study has evaluated the repair in critical bone defects, made on rats calvaria, filled with that biomaterial before and after therapy with ionizing radiation. The sample was formed by 33 Wistar rats distributed into two experimental groups that received 12 Gy radiation (single dose), and a control group. In the first experimental group (N=12) the fabrication and filling of the calvaria defect were performed two weeks after radiotherapy (pos-radiotherapy group). In the second group (n=12) the fabrication and filling of the calvaria defect were performed two weeks before radiotherapy (pre-radiotherapy group). The animals in the control group (n=9) were submitted to the same surgical procedures but did not receive any ionizing radiation therapy. The animals were killed 12 weeks after surgical procedures. In all groups a close contact between the biomaterial granules and the newly formed bone tissue was observed, as well as absence of necrosis. No statistically relevant differences were detected in the histomorphological analysis of the three groups with regards to the percentage of newly formed bone tissue in the defects. There were also no differences among the groups with regards to the number of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and inflammatory cells. The VEGF (Vascular Endotelial Growth Factor) (p<0.001) immunodetection percentage, and the mineral density in the defect site (p=0.020) were higher in the control group. Thus, it can be concluded that the biomaterial made up of HA and &#946;-TCP promotes osteoconduction in the irradiated tissue similarly to what occurs in the non-irradiated tissue. Moreover, there is no difference regarding the moment the ionizing radiation is employed, that is, whether before or after applying the biomaterial.
