MATERIALS 2021; 15:ma15010105. [PMID: 35009252 PMCID: PMC8746034 DOI: 10.3390/ma15010105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Vertical augmentation is one of the most challenging techniques in bone engineering. Several parameters, such mechano-chemical characteristics, are important to optimize vertical bone regeneration using biomaterials. The aims of this study were to chemically characterize human dentin blocks (calcified demineralized dentin matrix: CDM, partially demineralized dentin matrix: PDDM and completely demineralized dentin matrix: CDDM) (2 × 2 × 1 mm3) chemically and evaluate the behavior of PDDM blocks on non-scratched or scratched skulls without periosteum of adult rats (10–12 months old, female) as a vertical augmentation model. The dissolved efficiency of CDM showed 32.3% after ultrasonic demineralization in 1.0 L of 2% HNO3 for 30 min. The 30 min-demineralized dentin was named PDDM. The SEM images of PDDM showed the opening of dentinal tubes, nano-microcracks and the smooth surface. In the collagenase digestion test, the weight-decreasing rates of CDM, PDDM and CDDM were 9.2%, 25.5% and 78.3% at 12 weeks, respectively. CDM inhibited the collagenase digestion, compared with PDDM and CDDM. In the PDDM onlay graft on an ultrasonically scratched skull, the bone marrow-space opening from original bone was found in the bony bridge formation between the human PDDM block and dense skull of adult senior rats at 4 and 8 weeks. On the other hand, in the cases of the marrow-space closing in both non-scratched skulls and scratched skulls, the bony bridge was not formed. The results indicated that the ultrasonic scratching into the compact parietal bone might contribute greatly to the marrow-space opening from skull and the supply of marrow cells, and then bony bridge formation could occur in the vertical augmentation model without a periosteum.

Osteoinduction in Novel Micropores of Partially Dissolved and Precipitated Hydroxyapatite Block in Scalp of Young Rats. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14010196. [PMID: 33401628 PMCID: PMC7794916 DOI: 10.3390/ma14010196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Osteoinduction in muscles by porous ceramics has been reported to be a real phenomenon. In this study, osteoinduction in connective tissues was found in highly porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics with large specific surface areas. We have developed the combination method of the partial dissolution-precipitation (PDP) technique involving the stirring-supersonic treatment in 1.7 × 10−2 N HNO3 solution containing Ca2+ and PO43− to improve the surface and the bulk of commercially available synthetic HAp block (82.5% in porosity, 50–300 µm in pore size). The modified HAp was named as a partially dissolved and precipitated HAp (PDP-HAp). The PDP-HAp exhibited the porosities of 85–90%, the macropore sizes of 50–200 µm, and the specific surface areas of 1.0–2.0 m2/g, with microcracks. The aim of this study was to observe bone induction by the PDP-HAp with or without BMP-2 in scalp tissues of four-week-old rats. Young rats were divided into the PDP-HAp alone group and the PDP-HAp/BMP-2 group for a long-term observation. In the PDP-HAp group, bone induction occurred inside the many pores at nine months, and the ratio of induced bone was 12.0%. In the PDP-HAp/BMP-2 group, bone induction occurred in almost all pores at three months, and compact bone was found at nine months. The ratios of induced bone were 77.0% at three months and 86.0% at nine months. We believe that osteoinduction by the PDP-HAp might be different from the process of BMP-loaded HAp-induced bone formation, because the PDP-HAp has osteogenic microporous compartments with partially absorbable HAp crystals. The PDP technique may contribute to create bioceramics with osteoinductive property for bone regenerative medicine.

The Use of Tooth Particles as a Biomaterial in Post-Extraction Sockets. Experimental Study in Dogs. Dent J (Basel) 2018; 6:dj6020012. [PMID: 29734774 PMCID: PMC6023330 DOI: 10.3390/dj6020012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2018] [Revised: 04/16/2018] [Accepted: 05/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate new bone formation derived from freshly crushed extracted teeth, grafted immediately in post-extraction sites in an animal model, compared with sites without graft filling, evaluated at 30 and 90 days. Material and Methods: The bilateral premolars P2, P3, P4 and the first mandibular molar were extracted atraumatically from six Beagle dogs. The clean, dry teeth were ground immediately using the Smart Dentin Grinder. The tooth particles obtained were subsequently sieved through a special sorting filter into two compartments; the upper container isolating particles over 1200 μm, the lower container isolated particles over 300 μm. The crushed teeth were grafted into the post-extraction sockets at P3, P4 and M1 (test group) (larger and smaller post-extraction alveoli), while P2 sites were left unfilled and acted as a control group. Tissue healing and bone formation were evaluated by histological and histomorphometric analysis after 30 and 90 days. Results: At 30 days, test site bone formation was greater in the test group than the control group (p < 0.05); less immature bone was observed in the test group (25.71%) than the control group (55.98%). At 90 days, significant differences in bone formation were found with more in the test group than the control group. No significant differences were found in new bone formation when comparing the small and large alveoli post-extraction sites. Conclusions: Tooth particles extracted from dog’s teeth, grafted immediately after extractions can be considered a suitable biomaterial for socket preservation.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to place bone graft materials in cranial defects in a rabbit model and compare their bone regenerating ability according to the size and density of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM). Methods We selected nine healthy male rabbits that were raised under the same conditions and that weighed about 3 kg. Two circular defects 8 mm in diameter were created in each side of the cranium. The defects were grafted with DDM using four different particle sizes and densities: 0.1 mL of 0.25- to 1.0-mm particles (group 1); 0.2 mL of 0.25- to 1.0-mm particles (group 2); 0.1 mL of 1.0- to 2.0-mm particles (group 3); and 0.2 mL of 1.0- to 2.0-mm particles (group 4). After 2, 4, and 8 weeks, the rabbits were sacrificed, and bone samples were evaluated by means of histologic, histomorphometric, and quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Results In group 1, osteoblast activity and bone formation were greater than in the other three groups on histological examination. In groups 2, 3, and 4, dense connective tissue was seen around original bone even after 8 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis of representative sections in group 1 showed a higher rate of new bone formation, but the difference from the other groups was not statistically significant. RT-PCR analysis indicated a correlation between bone formation and protein (osteonectin and osteopontin) expression. Conclusions DDM with a space between particles of 200 μm was effective in bone formation, suggesting that materials with a small particle size could reasonably be used for bone grafting.

Ectopic osteogenesis and scaffold biodegradation of nano-hydroxyapatite-chitosan in a rat model. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0135366.

Abstract
The bone-formation and scaffold-biodegradation processes have not been fully characterized. This study aimed to determine the osteogenic ability of nHA-CS osteo-induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) composites and to explore the relationship between bone formation and scaffold biodegradation. The nHA-CS osteo-induced BMSC composites (nHA-CS+cells group) and the nHA-CS scaffolds (nHA-CS group) were implanted into the femoral spatium intermusculare of SD rats. At 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks post-implantation, the rat femurs were scanned using computerized tomography (CT), and the CT values of the implants were measured and comparatively analyzed. The implants were then harvested and subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson's trichrome staining, and the percentages of bone area, scaffold area and collagen area were compared between the two groups. The CT values of the implants were higher in the nHA-CS+cells group than the nHA-CS group at the same time points (P < 0.05). Histological analysis revealed that de novo bone and collagen formation in the pores of the scaffolds gradually increased from 2 weeks post-implantation in both groups and that the scaffold gradually degraded as bone formation proceeded. However, more de novo bone and collagen formation and scaffold degradation occurred in the nHA-CS+cells group than in the nHA-CS group at the same time points (P < 0.05). In conclusion, nHA-CS osteo-induced BMSC composites are promising bone tissue engineering substitutes, and osteo-induced BMSCs can significantly enhance the osteogenic ability and play an active role in the degradation of nHA-CS scaffolds on par with bone formation.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are known for their ability to bond to living bone and cartilage. In general, they are readily available in powder and monolithic forms, which are not ideal for the optimal filling of bone defects with irregular shapes. In this context, the development of BG-based scaffolds containing flexible fibres is a relevant approach to improve the performance of BGs. This study is aimed at characterizing a new, highly porous, fibrous glassy scaffold and evaluating its in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. The developed scaffolds were characterized in terms of porosity, mineralization and morphological features. Additionally, fibroblast and osteoblast cells were seeded in contact with extracts of the scaffolds to assess cell proliferation and genotoxicity after 24, 72 and 144 h. Finally, scaffolds were placed subcutaneously in rats for 15, 30 and 60 days. The scaffolds presented interconnected porous structures, and the precursor bioglass could mineralize a hydroxyapatite (HCA) layer in simulated body fluid (SBF) after only 12 h. The biomaterial elicited increased fibroblast and osteoblast cell proliferation, and no DNA damage was observed. The in vivo experiment showed degradation of the biomaterial over time, with soft tissue ingrowth into the degraded area and the presence of multinucleated giant cells around the implant. At day 60, the scaffolds were almost completely degraded and an organized granulation tissue filled the area. The results highlight the potential of this fibrous, glassy material for bone regeneration, due to its bioactive properties, non-cytotoxicity and biocompatibility. Future investigations should focus on translating these findings to orthotopic applications. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to estimate the increase of bone-inductive potency by human demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Human teeth were crushed, completely demineralized in 0.6M HCl, and freeze-dried. The tooth-derived material is called DDM. The shape of DDM was a particle type and its size varied from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. The BMP-2 dose-dependent study in the rat subcutaneous tissues demonstrated that the volume of induced bone and marrow increased at a dose-dependent manner. The time-course study of bone induction by the BMP-2 (5.0 μg)/DDM (70 mg) was estimated histologically and biochemically. Histological findings showed that the BMP-2/DDM increased bone and marrow sequentially between the DDM particles. Calcium content in the BMP-2/DDM-induced tissue was compatible to the histological findings. ALP activity in the BMP-2/DDM showed a maximal value at 1 week and gradually decreased. The morphometric analysis demonstrated that the BMP-2/DDM showed 66.9%, 79.0% in the volume of bone and marrow, and 32.4%, 21.0% in that of DDM at 8, 32 weeks, respectively. We confirmed that BMP-2 significantly accelerated bone formation in the acid-insoluble human-dentin carriers. These results indicate that human DDM should be an effective carrier for delivering BMP-2 and superior scaffold for bone-forming cells.

Abstract
Even though synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a chemical composition similar to the mineral phase of bone, it is minimally absorbed and replaced by bone tissue. This could be because HAp is composed of compactly arranged apatite crystals with homogenously large grains. In this study, the surface and non-stoichiometry of the synthetic HAp crystals was modified by partial dissolution and precipitation (PDP) to improve bioabsorbability of HAp. In vitro cell culture demonstrated that more osteoclasts were activated on PDP-HAp compared with HAp. In vivo implantation using a rabbit bone defect model revealed that PDP-HAp was gradually degraded and was replaced by bone tissue. Consistent with the in vitro results, more osteoclasts were activated in PDP-HAp than in HAp, indicating that the former was absorbed through the stimulation of osteoclastic activity. These results suggest that the PDP technique may have clinical utility for modifying synthetic HAp for use as superior bone graft substitutes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a nanosized, controlled growth factor release system to incorporate into tissue engineering scaffolds and thus activate the cells seeded in the scaffold. Nanocapsules of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were loaded with the bone morphogenetic proteins BMP-2 and BMP-7, respectively, and with bovine serum albumin (BSA), the model protein. BSA-loading efficiency and release kinetics were used to determine the most appropriate nanocapsule pair to achieve the delivery of growth factors in a sequential manner, as occurs in natural processes. BSA-encapsulation efficiency was highest when the polymer concentration used in the preparation of PLGA and PHBV nanocapsules was 10% (w/v) (84.75% and 16.72%, respectively). Release of BSA was faster from PLGA than it was from PHBV. Based on the encapsulation efficiency and release data, 10% PLGA and 10% PHBV nanocapsules were chosen to provide the early BMP-2 and later BMP-7 release, respectively. Simultaneous, sequential delivery and individual release of the BMPs were studied for 7, 14, and 21 days, using rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Individual BMP-2 release suppressed cell proliferation while providing higher alkaline phosphatase activity with respect to BMP-7. The sequential delivery of BMP-2 and BMP-7 provided slightly lower proliferation than did simultaneous delivery, but the highest alkaline phosphatase activity of all indicated a synergistic effect on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells caused by the use of the two growth factors in a sequential fashion.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate in vivo local BMP-2 PK and bone induction in two bioceramics blocks (HAp, β-TCP), based on different composition and surface structures. We estimated the in vivo release profile of 125I–labeled BMP-2 and bone induction of hard tissues histologically. β-TCP is more effective for both BMP-2 retention and bone induction, compared to HAp, in the ectopic model.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been commonly used as a bone graft substitute in various kinds of clinical fields. To improve the healing capability of HA, many studies have been performed to reveal its optimal structural characteristics for better healing outcomes. In spinal reconstruction surgery, non-interconnected porous HAs have already been applied as a bone graft extender in order to avoid autogenous bone harvesting. However, there have been few experimental studies regarding the effects of the structural characteristics of HA in posterolateral lumbar intertransverse process spine fusion (PLF). The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of HA porous characteristics on healing outcomes in a rabbit PLF model in order to elucidate appropriate structural characteristics of HA as a bone graft extender. Thirty-six adult female Japanese White rabbits underwent bilateral intertransverse process fusion at the level of L5-6 without internal fixation. We prepared three types of HA with different porosities: HA with 15% porosity (HA15%), HA with 50% porosity (HA50%), and HA with 85% porosity (HA85%), all of which were clinically available materials. The HA15% and HA50% had few interconnecting pores, whereas the HA85%, which was a recently developed material, had abundant interconnecting pores. All rabbits were randomly divided into the following four groups according to the grafted materials: (1) HA15% + autogenous bone, (2) HA50% + autogenous bone, (3) HA85% + autogenous bone, (4) pure autogenous bone graft. The animals were euthanized at 5 weeks after surgery, and post-mortem analyses including biomechanical testing, radiographical and histological evaluations were performed. There was no statistically significant difference in either fusion rate and/or bending stiffness among the three HA groups. However, in histological and radiological analyses, both bone ingrowth rate and direct bone bonding rate in the HA85% group were significantly higher than those in the HA15% and HA50% groups, despite the similar value of bone volume rate in fusion mass among the three HA groups. In the HA85% group, bone ingrowth was achieved throughout the implanted HAs via interconnecting pores and there was excellent unification between the HA granules and the newly mineralized bone. On the other hand, in the non-interconnected porous HA groups, only a little bone ingrowth could be seen at the peripheral pores of the implanted HA, and its surface was mostly covered with fibrous tissue or empty space. The current study demonstrated that the HA porous characteristics had an effect on the histological outcomes in a rabbit PLF model. We would like to conclude that the interconnected high porous structure seems to be promising for the environment of PLF in the point of producing fusion mass with higher cellular viability. This is because the HA85% is superior in terms of integration with the newly formed bone in fusion mass compared to the non-interconnected porous HAs. However, the porous modifications of HA have little influence on fusion rate and mechanical strength because primary stabilization of the fusion segment is mainly achieved by bridging bone between the adjacent transverse processes outside the implanted materials, rather than the degree of integration between the newly formed bone and the HA granules in PLF.

Abstract
A functionally graded apatite (fg-HAp) with body fluid permeability was developed from bovine bone. The tissue reaction of fg-HAp and its efficacy as a scaffold for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were evaluated histomorphometrically, and a component of permeable fluid into the fg-HAp was analyzed by immunoblotting assay. The fg-HAp block (27 mm(3)) combined with and without BMP-2 (5 microg) was implanted subcutaneously in 4-week-old Wistar rats. Histological examination showed that the surface and bulk degradations of the fg-HAp proceeded extensively and giant cells appeared on the fg-HAp at 2 weeks. Body fluid permeation was found inside the fg-HAp, and the fluid component was immunopositive for albumin. In addition, albumin was detected as a main component among proteins collected from the in vivo implanted fg-HAp. The bioabsorption of the fg-HAp was accelerated as BMP-2-induced bone matured. Histomorphometrical analysis at 4 weeks in the BMP-2/fg-HAp implant showed 59.0% in the total volume of bone and marrow. These results indicate that fg-HAp is an innovative, bioabsorbable bioceramic with fluid permeability characteristic, and may become a biointegrated scaffold for bone engineering.
