Eggshell has been recently introduced as a bone substitute candidate in reconstructive surgery. The aim of this experimental study study was to determine its degradation rate in both a skeletal and extraskeletal site. In experiment 1, eggshell particles with four different sizes (50, 75, 150, and 300 mum in diameter) were implanted in subcutaneous pouches of 30 rats. In experiment 2 a fragment of ostrich eggshell was implanted on the nasal dorsum of 10 rats. Animals were sacrificed at 1(N = 10), 2 (N = 10), and 4 months (N = 10) during the first stage of the study, and at 1 year during the second stage of the study. The results were assessed by X-ray examination and routine histological techniques. In experiment I, all animals healed uneventfully. At 1 month, only 50-mum particles had undergone resorption. At 2 months, both 50- and 75-mum particles had undergone resorption. At 4 months, the 150- and 300-mum particles were resorbed incompletely. Histologically, the eggshell elicited a mild inflammatory reaction at 1 month that decreased progressively at further stages. In experiment 2, all animals except one healed uneventfully. Radiologically, the eggshell implant displayed a noticeable stability. Histologically, seven of nine implants were encapsulated, but two of them were surrounded by a bony rim. In conclusion, eggshell is a resorbable implant, but the degradation kinetic is size dependent. Large ostrich grafts are also suitable as onlay graft, but a complementary osteosynthesis is recommended to enhance osteointegration.
