Ko YC, Lee D, Kwon O, Seol YJ, Koo KT, Lee YM, Lee J. Preclinical comparison study of experimental peri-implantitis between alveolar ridge preservation and spontaneous healing sites in infected and noninfected tooth: a randomized blinded in vivo study. J Periodontol 2024. [PMID: 38865252 DOI: 10.1002/jper.23-0617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the progression of experimental peri-implantitis between alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) and spontaneous healing (SH) sites in infected (IT) and noninfected tooth (NIT). METHODS Bilateral mandibular third or fourth premolars of six beagle dogs were randomly assigned to IT and NIT groups. Before extraction, chronic dehiscence defects were created at the mesial root of mid-buccal area in IT group. Four weeks later, the mesial roots of the third and fourth premolars were extracted in all groups.ARP procedure was randomly conducted on one side of the extraction sockets using collagenated bovine bone substitutes and resorbable collagen membrane, and contralateral side was allowded spontaneous healing. After 12 weeks of healing, bone-level implants (ϕ 3.6 × 8.0 mm) were placed at the extraction sockets. Three months of ligature induced peri-implantitis and three months of spontaneous progression were allowed, with radiographs taken at each phase. Biopsies were retrieved at the implant site for histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and polarized light-microscopic analyses. RESULTS Radiography demonstrated that the changes in the marginal bone level during the spontaneous progression period showed no significant differences between ARP and SH sites. Only small and/or nonsignificant differences in the progression of peri-implantitis were observed between ARP and SH sites in histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and polarized light microscopic analyses. Additionally, the IT and NIT groups exhibited similar outcomes for most parameters. CONCLUSION ARP with xenogenic bone substitutes might provide similarly robust results as SH sites regarding the progression of experimental peri-implantitis, irrespective of the infected or noninfected nature of the site before tooth extraction.

Belleggia F. Effects of intentional early dense-polytetrafluoroethylene membrane removal on vertical ridge augmentation. Clin Adv Periodontics 2024. [PMID: 38853695 DOI: 10.1002/cap.10298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) requires long healing times for bone maturation. This case study deals with the intentional early removal of a titanium-reinforced dense polytetrafluoroethylene (TR-dPTFE) membrane that allowed for treatment times reduction and improvement of bone quality. METHODS A TR-dPTFE membrane was used for VRA in the premolar region of the upper right maxilla. The defect was filled with a mix of particulate autogenous bone and porcine xenograft in a 1:1 ratio. After a 4-month uneventful healing period, the membrane was removed, and the thick keratinized palatal tissue was moved toward the buccal side via a pedicle flap. Implants insertion and healing abutments application were carried out 3 months later, when bone graft could have been revascularized and nourished by the periosteum. RESULTS The histologic evaluation of a bone sample harvested during implant bed preparation revealed a huge amount of mature newly formed bone even in the most coronal part. Two screw-retained crowns were delivered 2 months after implant insertion and the 3.5-year follow-up showed perfectly maintained hard and soft tissues. CONCLUSIONS Intentional early removal of TR-dPTFE membrane after a 4-month healing time, with simultaneous soft tissue augmentation via a buccally reposioned pedicle flap, allowed graft revascularization from the periosteum, and resulted in optimal quantity and quality of the regenerated bone. This process shortened the overall treatment times, taking only 9 months from VRA to prosthetic loading. Both augmented hard and soft tissues allowed for crestal bone maintenance around implants. KEY POINTS Titanium-reinforced dense polytetrafluoroethylene (TR-dPTFE) membranes, due to their closed structure, do not allow the passage of cells and vessels from the periosteum, and revascularization from the residual bone alone is not enough for proper graft maturation and long-term crestal bone maintenance. Early removal of TR-dPTFE membrane allows graft revascularization from the periosteum, and results in optimal quantity and quality of the regenerated bone. Increasing the thickness of the soft tissues, increasing the width of the keratinized mucosa, and repositioning the mucogingival line, via a free gingival graft or a pedicle flap, should be performed simultaneously in the membrane removal phase to reduce the number of surgical interventions, decrease patient morbidity, and shorten the total treatment time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the regenerative capacities of octacalcium phosphate collagen composite (OCP/Col) in one-wall intrabony defects in dogs. The background data discuss the present state of the field: No study has assessed the efficacy of OCP/Col for periodontal regeneration therapy despite the fact that OCP/Col has proved to be efficient for bone regeneration. METHODS In six beagle dogs, the mandibular left third premolars were extracted 12 weeks before the experimental surgery. Standardized bone defects (5 mm in height and 4 mm in width) were simulated on the distal surface of the second premolars and mesially on the fourth premolars. The defect was filled with either OCP/Col (experimental group) or left empty (control group). Histological and histomorphometric characteristics were compared 8 weeks after surgery. RESULTS No infectious or ankylotic complications were detected at any of the tested sites. The experimental group exhibited a significantly greater volume, height, and area of newly formed bone than the control group. The former also showed a greater height of the newly formed cementum than the latter, although the results were not statistically significant. The newly formed periodontal ligaments were inserted into newly formed bone and cementum in the experimental group. CONCLUSION OCP/Col demonstrated high efficacy for bone and periodontal tissue regeneration that can be successfully applied for one-wall intrabony defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the inductive capacity of F18 bioglass putty on the induced membrane technique in a segmental bone defect of the rabbit's radius. METHODS Ten female Norfolk at 24 months of age were used. The animals were randomly separated based on postoperative time points: five rabbits at 21 and four at 42 days. A 1-cm segmental bone defect was created in both radii. The bone defects were filled with an F18 bioglass putty. RESULTS Immediate postoperative radiographic examination revealed the biomaterial occupying the segmental bone defect as a well-defined radiopaque structure with a density close to bone tissue. At 21 and 42 days after surgery, a reduction in radiopacity and volume of the biomaterial was observed, with particle dispersion in the bone defect region. Histologically, the induced membrane was verified in all animals, predominantly composed of fibrocollagenous tissue. In addition, chondroid and osteoid matrices undergoing regeneration, a densely vascularized tissue, and a foreign body type reaction composed of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells were seen. CONCLUSIONS the F18 bioglass putty caused a foreign body-type inflammatory response with the development of an induced membrane without expansion capacity to perform the second stage of the Masquelet technique.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repair process in rat calvaria filled with synthetic biphasic bioceramics (Plenum® Osshp-70:30, HA:βTCP) or autogenous bone, covered with a polydioxanone membrane (PDO). A total of 48 rats were divided into two groups (n = 24): particulate autogenous bone + Plenum® Guide (AUTOPT+PG) or Plenum® Osshp + Plenum® Guide (PO+PG). A defect was created in the calvaria, filled with the grafts, and covered with a PDO membrane, and euthanasia took place at 7, 30, and 60 days. Micro-CT showed no statistical difference between the groups, but there was an increase in bone volume (56.26%), the number of trabeculae (2.76 mm), and intersection surface (26.76 mm2) and a decrease in total porosity (43.79%) in the PO+PG group, as well as higher values for the daily mineral apposition rate (7.16 µm/day). Histometric analysis presented material replacement and increased bone formation at 30 days compared to 7 days in both groups. Immunostaining showed a similar pattern between the groups, with an increase in proteins related to bone remodeling and formation. In conclusion, Plenum® Osshp + Plenum® Guide showed similar and sometimes superior results when compared to autogenous bone, making it a competent option as a bone substitute.

Abstract
In cases of severe horizontal atrophy, implant placement requires bone reconstruction procedures. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the outcomes of bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement using the shell technique to the outcomes of guided bone regeneration (GBR) in cases of severely horizontal bone atrophy. This study was designed as a monocentric, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial with a six-month follow-up. Among the primary outcomes of this study, peri-implant bone regeneration and peri-implant bone defect closure were selected. Forty-four patients were recruited and equally divided between two groups. In the GRB group, a horizontal regeneration of 2.31 ± 0.23 mm was observed opposed to a horizontal regeneration of 2.36 ± 0.17 mm in the shell group (p = 0.87). A volumetric increase was observed in both groups, with an increase of 0.30 ± 0.12 cm3 in the GBR group and an increase of 0.39 ± 0.09 cm3 in the shell group, highlighting a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.02). In conclusion, bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement using the shell technique or guided bone regeneration in horizontal bone atrophy are both predictable therapeutic options.

Radiographic Study of Transcrestal Sinus Floor Elevation Using Osseodensification Technique with Graft Material: A Pilot Study. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:276. [PMID: 38786485 PMCID: PMC11118885 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9050276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This pilot study aimed to evaluate the level of implant success after transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) using the osseodensification technique (OD) combined with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) by analyzing clinical and radiographic results. Moreover, the increase in bone height was analyzed immediately after surgery, 3 months after, and before loading by taking standardized radiographic measurements. Thirteen patients, four males and nine females, with a mean age of 54.69 ± 5.86 years, requiring the placement of one implant in the upper posterior maxilla, with a residual bone height of <8 mm and a minimum bone width of 5 mm, participated in the study. The bone gain data was obtained using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) immediately after surgery and twelve months after the placement. The correlation between initial and final bone height with implant stability was also assessed. The results were analyzed using SPSS 23 software (p < 0.05). The results of the study indicated a 100% implant success rate after a follow-up period of twelve months. Preoperative main bone height was 5.70 ± 0.95 mm. The osseodensification technique allowed a significant increase of 6.65 ± 1.06 mm immediately after surgery. After a twelve-month follow-up, a graft material contraction of 0.90 ± 0.49 mm was observed. No correlation was observed between the bone height at the different times of the study and the primary stability of the implant. Considering the limitations of the size sample of this study, the osseodensification technique used for transcrestal sinus lift with the additional bone graft material (β-TCP) may provide a predictable elevation of the maxillary sinus floor, allowing simultaneous implant insertion with adequate stability irrespective of bone height limitations.

Time to full weight-bearing with the use of a calcium sulfate-calcium phosphate bone substitute as a bone void filler following extended curettage in the treatment of primary benign bone tumours. J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong) 2024; 32:10225536241254200.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to determine time to full weight-bearing after the use of a calcium-sulfate-calcium phosphate bone substitute (CaSO4/CaPO4) as a bone void filler in the treatment of primary benign bone tumours following intralesional curettage. The secondary objectives were to determine surgical complications and recurrence rates. METHODS Retrospective review of patients identified from a surgeon-specific orthopaedic oncology database, who underwent curettage of benign bone tumours and subsequent bone void filling with CaSO4/CaPO4. RESULTS A total of 39 patients (20 males, 19 females) met inclusion criteria with an average age of 31 years (range: 13 to 62 years), a median follow-up of 3.7 years, and a maximum follow-up of 11 years. The most common tumour diagnosis was giant cell tumour of bone (GCT) (n = 19), and the most common location was the proximal tibia (n = 9). The mean volume of tumour excised was 74.1 cm3 including extraosseous bone expansion due to tumour growth, with a mean of volume of 21.4 mL of CaSO4/CaPO4 used to fill the intraosseous cavitary defects to restore normal bone anatomy. None of the lesions required additional internal fixation. The primary outcome measure, average time to full weight-bearing/full range of motion, was 11 weeks and 6 weeks for upper and lower extremity lesions, respectively. Secondary outcomes included tumour recurrence requiring reoperation in five patients and infection requiring reoperation in two patients. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that CaSO4/CaPO4 is a viable option as a bone void filler in the reconstruction of cavitary defects following removal of primary benign bone tumours. CaSO4/CaPO4 provides sufficient bone regeneration early in the post-operative period to allow progression to full weight-bearing within weeks without the need for internal fixation. There were no graft-specific complications noted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biomaterials in bone healing of critical bone defects created by piezoelectric surgery in rat calvaria. METHOD AND MATERIALS Histomorphologic analysis was performed to assess bone regeneration and tissue response. Fifty animals were randomized into five groups with one of the following treatments: Control group (n = 10), spontaneous blood clot formation with no bone fill; BO group (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma; n = 10), defects were filled with bovine medullary bone substitute; BF group (Bonefill, Bionnovation; n = 10), defects were filled with bovine cortical bone substitute; hydroxyapatite group (n = 10), defects were filled with hydroxyapatite; calcium sulfate group (n = 10), defects were filled with calcium sulfate. Five animals from each group were euthanized at 30 and 45 days. The histomorphometry calculated the percentage of the new bone formation in the bone defect. RESULTS All data obtained were evaluated statistically considering P < .05 as statistically significant. The results demonstrated the potential of all biomaterials for enhancing bone regeneration. The findings showed no statistical differences between all the biomaterials at 30 and 45 days including the control group without bone grafting. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the tested biomaterials presented an estimated capacity of osteoconduction, statistically nonsignificant between them. In addition, the selection of biomaterial should consider the specific clinical aspect, resorption rates, size of the particle, and desired bone healing responses. It is important to emphasize that in some cases, using no bone filler might provide comparable results with reduced cost and possible complications questioning the very frequent use of ridge presentation procedures.

Abstract
β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a promising material in regenerative traumatology for the creation of bone implants. Previously, it was established that doping the structure with certain cations can reduce the growth of bacterial activity. Recently, much attention has been paid to co-doped β-TCP, that is explained by their ability, on the one hand, to reduce cytotoxicity for cells of the human organism, on the other hand, to achieve a successful antibacterial effect. Sr, Cu-co-doped solid solutions of the composition Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 was obtained by the method of solid-phase reactions. The Rietveld method of structural refinement revealed the presence of Sr2+ ions in four crystal sites: M1, M2, M3, and M4. The M5 site is completely occupied by Cu2+. Isomorphic substitution of Ca2+ → (Sr2+and Cu2+) expands the concentration limits of the existence of the solid solution with the β-TCP structure. No additional phases were formed up to x = 4.5 in Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7. Biocompatibility tests were performed on cell lines of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC), human fibroblasts (MRC-5) and osteoblasts (U-2OS). It was demonstrated that cytotoxicity exhibited a concentration dependence, along with an increase in osteogenesis and cell proliferation. Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 powders showed significant inhibitory activity against pathogenic strains Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Piezoelectric properties of Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 were investigated. Possible ways to achieve high piezoelectric response are discussed. The combination of bioactive properties of Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 renders them multifunctional materials suitable for bone substitutes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the radiological and histological outcome after horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR) with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) alone or in combination with particulate autogenous bone (PAB). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen edentulous patients with an alveolar ridge of ≤4 mm were included in this split-mouth randomized controlled trial. Horizontal GBR with a graft composition of 100% DBBM (100:0) on one side and 90% DBBM and 10% PAB (90:10) on the other side were conducted in all patients. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was obtained preoperatively, immediately postoperative, and after 10 months of healing. Width and volumetric changes in the alveolar process were measured on CBCT. Implants were placed after 10 months of graft healing where biopsies were obtained for histomorphometrical evaluation. RESULTS The gained widths were 4.9 (±2.4) mm (100:0) and 4.5 (±2.0) mm (90:10) at 3 mm from the top of the crest, and 5.6 (±1.3) mm (100:0) and 4.6 (±2.1) mm (90:10) at 6 mm from the top of the crest. The mean volumetric reductions were 32.8% (±23.8) (100:0) and 38.2% (±23.2) (90:10). Histomorphometry revealed that mean percentages of bone were 50.8% (±10.7) (100:0) and 46.4% (±11.3) (90:10), DBBM were 31.6% (±12.6) (100:0) and 35.4% (±14.8) (90:10), and non-mineralized tissue were 17.6% (±11.7; 100:0) and 18.2% (±18.2) (90:10). No significant differences were evident between in any evaluated parameters. CONCLUSIONS There were no additional effects of adding PAB to DBBM regarding bone formation, width changes, or volumetric changes after 10 months of graft healing.

Abstract
(1) Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a significant risk factor for complicated surgery and leads to the increased use of bone substitutes in patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs). No accepted model has yet been established to predict the use of bone substitutes to facilitate preoperative planning. (2) Methods: Unenhanced dual-energy CT (DECT) images of DRFs were retrospectively acquired between March 2016 and September 2020 using the internal PACS system. Available follow-up imaging and medical health records were reviewed to determine the use of bone substitutes. DECT-based BMD, trabecular Hounsfield units (HU), cortical HU, and cortical thickness ratio were measured in non-fractured segments of the distal radius. Diagnostic accuracy parameters were calculated for all metrics using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and associations of all metrics with the use of bone substitutes were evaluated using logistic regression models. (3) The final study population comprised 262 patients (median age 55 years [IQR 43-67 years]; 159 females, 103 males). According to logistic regression analysis, DECT-based BMD was the only metric significantly associated with the use of bone substitutes (odds ratio 0.96, p = 0.003). However, no significant associations were found for cortical HU (p = 0.06), trabecular HU (p = 0.33), or cortical thickness ratio (p = 0.21). ROC-curve analysis revealed that a combined model of all four metrics had the highest diagnostic accuracy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.76. (4) Conclusions: DECT-based BMD measurements performed better than HU-based measurements and cortical thickness ratio. The diagnostic performance of all four metrics combined was superior to that of the individual parameters.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the usefulness of ridge augmentation using a customized titanium mesh (CTM) that was preformed by trimming and bending the commercial titanium mesh on a virtually reconstructed 3D acrylic resin model using clinical, radiologic, histologic, and histomorphometric analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was designed prospectively for patients who required vertical ridge augmentation using a staged approach before implant surgery. After installation of the CTM, grafting was performed using deproteinized porcine bone mineral covered with an absorbable membrane. Computed tomography was performed preoperatively and 6 months after simultaneous/staged guided bone regeneration to measure planned, reconstructed, and lacking bone volume, and the reconstruction rate was calculated based on these values. Clinical complications were also recorded, particularly the mesh exposure rate. At re-entry, the bone core was obtained using a trephine bur, and histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 10 sites in eight patients were used for the study analysis. The mean planned bone volume was 1.15 cm3 (range: 0.78 to 1.56 cm3), mean lacking bone volume was 0.13 cm3 (range: 0 to 0.59 cm3), and mean reconstructed bone volume was 1.02 cm3 (range: 0.56 to 1.43 cm3). The exposure rate was 30% (3 out of 10 sites). The reconstruction rate was over 80%, except for one case that showed suppuration. From histomorphometric analysis, 27.52% ± 16.87% of new bone, 7.62% ± 5.19% of residual graft, and 64.86% ± 23.76% of connective tissue were observed. The core biopsy samples demonstrated different pseudoperiosteum layer appearances based on the healing stage of the augmented sites. In the premature bone, the inner osteogenic layer consisted of multiple layers of osteoblast cells with adjacent large blood vessels. However, in the mature augmented site, there was no specific inner osteogenic layer, and the outer fibrous layer was dominant. CONCLUSIONS The fabrication of CTM based on the application of the 3D-printing technique makes vertical ridge augmentation easier and can reduce complications and achieve target bone acquisition. In addition, it is expected that quantitative analysis of the pseudoperiosteum layer will be facilitated using the CTM.

Dewilde F, Hindryckx M, Younes F, De Bruyckere T, Cosyn J. Lateral bone augmentation with a composite graft covered with a stretched and pinned collagen membrane: A retrospective case series using cone-beam computed tomography. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2024. [PMID: 38391277 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
AIMS (1) To assess the effectiveness of the Sausage Technique™ when applied for lateral bone augmentation by multiple experienced clinicians; (2) To identify risk indicators for a poor outcome and to assess the need for adjunctive surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients who had been treated with the Sausage Technique™ for lateral bone augmentation by three experienced surgeons between January 2019 and December 2021 were included in a retrospective case series. The Sausage Technique™ technique includes the use of autogenous bone chips and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (1:1 ratio), covered with a stretched and pinned collagen membrane. The increase in alveolar width between the pre-operative situation and 9 months was assessed at different levels on superimposed cone-beam CT scans. RESULTS Twenty-five augmentations performed in 25 patients (17 males, 8 females, mean age 51 years) were available for evaluation. Mean alveolar width increased from 4.35 to 7.43 mm at 3 mm below the crest. The mean increase of 3.08 mm (95% CI 2.10-4.06; p < 0.001) was significant. The outcome of non-containing single implant sites was significantly worse than the outcome of other sites (MD 2.67 mm; p = 0.008). The need for regrafting was 4% and the need for soft tissue augmentation was 48%. Twenty percent of the patients needed soft tissue augmentation due to a lack of keratinized mucosa width, and 32% due to a lack of buccal convexity. The former was mainly needed at multiple implant sites, whereas the latter was mainly required at single implant sites. All implant survived and remained healthy until the final follow-up. CONCLUSION The Sausage Technique™ is an effective bone augmentation technique. Non-containing single implant sites were associated with a poor outcome and adjunctive soft tissue augmentation was needed in about half of the patients.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to analyze the complications related to multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using osteobiologics other than bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. The search to identify studies reporting complications in multilevel ACDF surgery using osteobiologics other than bone morphogenetic protein was performed in August 2020. The study was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). RESULTS A total of 584 articles were found after searching the databases and removing duplicates. Next, screening was performed in a double reviewer process, and 153 eligible articles-with 4 retrospective studies-in full-text were selected; these met all inclusion criteria. A total of 197 patients received 3-level ACDF, while 72 patients received 4-level ACDF. Osteobiologics were used in all selected articles, allograft was used in 4 studies, autologous bone graft was utilized in 3 articles, and hydroxyapatite was used in 1 article. The main complications reported were dysphagia, adjacent segment disease, and pseudarthrosis. CONCLUSIONS Given the limited evidence, no conclusions on complications in multilevel ACDF using osteobiologics other than BMP could be made. However, descriptively, the most common complications found were dysphagia, adjacent segment disease, and pseudoarthrosis. Further prospective studies separately analyzing complications in multilevel ACDF by osteobiologics and a number of treated levels are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess in a prospective randomized trial two phycogenic bone substitutes-biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) versus almost pure hydroxyapatite (HA)-for their volume stability and clinical implications after sinus floor elevation (SFE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients requiring lateral-window SFE 6 months prior to implant surgery were randomized to a BCP or HA group. As primary outcome, the grafts were analyzed for volume stability, using four cone-beam computed tomography scans obtained immediately/6/12/24 months after SFE. Secondary outcomes were implant survivval, success, periotest values, oral-health-related quality of life (OHIP-G14), and pain (VAS). RESULTS Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test revealed normal distribution of samples (p = .200). At 6/12/24 months, the augmented volumes decreased to 96/92/90% (HA) or 99/96/96% (BCP). Volume changes were significantly a factor of time (p < .001; generalized linear model with repeated measures) and reached significantly lower values in HA group (p = .018). Significant intergroup difference in volume losses was notable at 24 months (p = .021; t-test for independent samples). Periotest values decreased from -3/-4.1 (HA/BCP) after implant placement to -6.3/-4.5 (HA/BCP) after 6 months. OHIP scores diverged at 2 months (HA: 9.5; BCP: 5.2) and largely resolved by 24 months (HA: 1.3; BCP: 1.9). VAS scores were comparable, 2.2 at 1 week after SFE being their highest mean level. CONCLUSIONS After 2 years, both groups experienced no biological or technical complications, demonstrating a consistent healing trajectory without notable symptoms. Although no significant differences were observed in implant stability and survival, BCP demonstrated higher volume stability than HA.

Abstract
This umbrella review aims to evaluate systematic/meta-analysis studies containing clinical evidence on tooth grafts as bone substitutes in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Using language restrictions and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, an electronic database search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar was conducted, featuring published studies up until August 2022. All systematic/meta-analysis review articles relating to tooth graft materials were matched against the inclusion criteria. Two qualified researchers independently assessed the studies' inclusion or exclusion criteria and risk of bias, and a third investigator assisted in resolving ambiguities. A total of 81 systematic/meta-analysis studies, comprising 21 animal-controlled trials, 23 randomized controlled human trials, 23 prospective studies, and 14 retrospective studies, were selected for this study. A small risk of bias was observed in systematic studies/meta-analyses. In addition, the clinical evidence from the analysis of these studies revealed a low incidence of side effects. According to the current review, two systematic reviews indicated that autogenous bone grafting of prepared teeth might be as effective as other bone grafting materials. Four studies also mentioned autologous grafts as potential alternatives to autologous grafts, autogenous demineralized dentin (ADDM), engineered grafts, root blocks, and dental matrix. On the other hand, three systematic studies stated that more long-term research is needed to confirm their findings. Finally, given the importance of standardization and homogeneity of studies for clinical cases, it is advised to be used cautiously due to the risks of transplant rejection.

Development of hydrogel-based composite scaffolds containing eggshell particles for bone regeneration applications. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35296. [PMID: 37702399 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
This study describes the development and characterization of novel composite scaffolds, made of an alginate-chitosan hydrogel matrix containing eggshell (ES) particles, for bone tissue engineering applications. Scaffolds with ES particles, either untreated or treated with phosphoric acid to create a nanotextured particle surface, were compared to scaffolds without particles. Results indicate that the nanotexturing process exposed occluded ES proteins orthologous to those in human bone extracellular matrix. Scaffolds with ES or nanotextured ES (NTES) particles had a higher porosity (81 ± 4% and 89 ± 5%, respectively) than scaffolds without particles (59 ± 5%) (p = .002 and p < .001, respectively). Scaffolds with NTES particles had a larger median pore size (113 μm [interquartile range [IQ]: 88-140 μm]) than scaffolds with ES particles (94 μm [IQ: 75-112 μm]) and scaffolds without particles (99 μm [IQ: 74-135 μm]) (p < .001 and p = .011, respectively). The compressive modulus of the scaffolds with ES or NTES particles remained low (3.69 ± 0.70 and 3.14 ± 0.62 kPa, respectively), but these scaffolds were more resistant to deformation following maximum compression than those without particles. Finally, scaffolds with ES or NTES particles allowed better retention of human mesenchymal stem cells during seeding (53 ± 12% and 57 ± 8%, respectively, vs. 17 ± 5% for scaffolds without particles; p < .001 in both cases), as well as higher cell viability up to 21 days of culture (67 ± 17% and 61 ± 11%, respectively, vs. 15 ± 7% for scaffolds without particles; p < .001 in both cases). In addition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity increased up to 558 ± 164% on day 21 in the scaffolds with ES particles, and up to 567 ± 217% on day 14 in the scaffolds with NTES particles (p = .006 and p = .002, respectively, relative to day 0). Overall, this study shows that the physicochemical properties of the alginate-chitosan hydrogel scaffolds with ES or NTES particles are similar to those of cancellous bone. In addition, scaffolds with particles supported early osteogenic differentiation and therefore represent a promising new bone substitute, especially for non-load bearing applications.

Twelve-month results of a prospective multicenter cohort study. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2023; 25:1164-1177. [PMID: 37592396 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many techniques have been proposed to address post-extraction ridge resorption, which often represents a concern, especially in the esthetic region. PURPOSE The purpose of the present, prospective, multicenter, single cohort study was to investigate, up to 1 year of function, the effectiveness of a protocol for alveolar ridge preservation involving implants with laser-microgrooved surface immediately placed in fresh extraction sockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty eight patients candidate to tooth extraction in the esthetic zone (site 15-25 and 35-45) were treated by immediate placement of a single laser-microgrooved implants with the adjunct of a highly porous anorganic porcine bone mineral matrix and a collagen wound dressing. Peri-implant marginal bone level (MBL) was evaluated at time of loading, 3 and 12 months after loading. Gingival index, plaque index, probing depth, and bleeding on probing were measured at 3, 6, and 12 months after loading. Dimensional changes at implant sites were digitally evaluated using the best-fit superimposition of pre-and post-socket preservation models. Implant aesthetic score (IAS) as well as patients' post-operative quality of life were also evaluated at 12 months. Comparisons between data relative to thick and thin gingival phenotypes were made using Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate. The significance level was set at p = 0.05. RESULTS No patient dropped out, and 28 implants were evaluated at 12 months post-loading. The overall MBL was found to be 0.92 ± 1.11 mm. Volumetric analysis of superimposed models showed an alveolar bone tissue displacement at the buccal aspect of -0.57 ± 0.52 mm in thin phenotypes and -0.46 ± 0.31 mm in thick phenotypes (p = 0.58, unpaired Student's t-test). No signs of soft tissue recession or esthetically unpleasant buccal gingiva were reported. CONCLUSIONS The clinical protocol herein employed showed benefits in maintaining marginal bone levels and soft tissue contour around post-extraction implants in the esthetic zone.

Bone regeneration after maxillary sinus floor augmentation with different ratios of autogenous bone and deproteinized bovine bone mineral an in vivo experimental study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2023; 34:1406-1416.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Test the hypothesis of no difference in bone regeneration after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) with different ratios of iliac or mandibular autogenous bone (AB) graft and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty minipigs were randomly allocated to bilateral MSFA using: (A) 100% AB, (B) 75% AB and 25% DBBM, (C) 50% AB and 50% DBBM, (D) 25% AB and 75% DBBM, or (E) 100% DBBM. The animals were euthanized 12 weeks after surgery. Percentage of bone, non-mineralized tissue, and residual DBBM were estimated by histomorphometric analysis in a randomly selected region of interest and summarized as mean percentage with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Mean percentage of bone following MSFA with iliac or mandibular AB graft was: (A) 55.5% and 64.2%, (B) 60.3% and 61.6%, (C) 54.4% and 52.1%, (D) 51.8% and 53.1%, and (E) 47.6%, respectively. There was a significant trend toward a higher percentage of bone, with a higher ratio of AB within the graft (p < .01), regardless of the origin of AB graft (iliac or mandible). CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis was rejected since percentage of bone was significantly increased with larger proportions of AB within the graft. Consequently, AB or a mixture of AB and diminutive quantities of DBBM seem to be the preferred graft for MSFA based solely on histomorphometric assessment. However, it should be emphasized that newly formed bone and residual AB graft particles could not be distinguished by the applied histologic procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autologous dentin grafts derived from extracted teeth have shown promise as bone graft materials for promoting bone regeneration. This retrospective case series aimed to evaluate clinical, radiographic, and histologic outcomes of using autologous dentin matrices in various bone regeneration procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case series included 26 eligible patients and encompassed 4 socket preservation cases, 5 cases of guided tissue regeneration, 5 cases of guided bone regeneration (GBR), 10 cases of sinus augmentation procedures, 2 immediate placement implants, and 2 socket shields. Dentin grafts were prepared from extracted teeth, cleaned, and processed. These grafts were combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to create adhesive dentin matrices, then covered with collagen membranes for simultaneous guided bone augmentation cases. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were conducted before surgery and 4 months postoperatively to assess ridge dimensions. Histologic evaluation was performed through bone core biopsies for socket preservation cases at the 4-month mark. RESULTS A total of 42 implants were placed in 26 patients, with an average follow-up of 32 months. Notably, two implant failures occurred following lateral maxillary sinus augmentation. CBCT scans at the 4-month interval revealed bone coverage over implant platforms in the majority of cases. Histologic analysis from two cases of socket preservation demonstrated dentin granules enveloped by newly formed bone undergoing continuous remodeling. The quantitative histomorphometric assessment revealed a bone area of 42.8 ± 3.56%, a remaining graft area of 19.05 ± 4.58%, and a viable bone of 38.15 ± 7.84%. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of autologous dentin particles mixed with PRF proved effective as an alternative to conventional bone graft materials in GBR and maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. Larger controlled clinical trials are recommended to further substantiate these findings.

Abstract
(1) Background: Biphasic bioceramics are synthetic bone substitutes that provide greater safety and better predictability in guided bone regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the bone repair process using a new biphasic bioceramic of synthetic origin (Plenum® Osshp-70HA: 30β-TCP) in critical calvarial defects. (2) Methods: seventy-four defects were created in rat calvaria and divided into two groups-Plenum® Osshp (PO), right side, and Straumann® BoneCeramic™ (BC), left side. Euthanasia was performed at 7, 15, 30, and 60 days after surgery. (3) Results: Lower gene expression was observed for runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and higher expression for Integrin Binding Sialoprotein (IBSP). The results correlated with moderate immunolabeling for osteocalcin (OCN) and slight immunolabeling for osteopontin (OPN) in the PO group. Histometry showed a greater amount of biomaterial remaining in the PO group at 60 days. The microtomographic analysis showed a lower density of bone connectivity and a greater thickness of the trabeculae for the remnants of the PO group. (4) Conclusions: the Plenum® Osshp showed no differences compared to BoneCeramic™ and is therefore considered an effective option as a synthetic bone substitute in bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to compare histomorphometrically evaluated new bone formation, radiographically measured graft stability, and clinical implant outcome between maxillary sinus grafting with either deproteinized porcine bone mineral (DPBM) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty maxillary sinuses were initially included and randomly assigned to the test group (TG; DPBM, n = 15) or control group (CG; DBBM, n = 15). After a healing period (6 months), axially retrieved bone biopsies of the molar region were used for histological/histomorphometric analysis of new bone formations. Additionally, radiographically measured graft stability and clinical implant outcome were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-three sinus sites with 10 sinuses of the TG and 13 of the CG were ultimately available for data and statistical analysis. In the TG, a slightly, but yet significantly (p = .040) higher proportion of new bone formation (TG: 27.7 ± 5.6% vs. CG: 22.9 ± 5.1%) and a lesser (p = .019) amount of connective (non-mineralized) tissue (TG: 47.5 ± 9.5% vs. CG: 56.1 ± 9.5%) was found than in the CG. However, both xenografts showed comparable (n.s.) residual bone graft (TG: 23.7 ± 7.2% vs. CG: 21.1 ± 9.85.6%), bone-to-graft contacts (TG: 26.2 ± 9.8% vs. CG: 30.8 ± 13.8%), similar graft height reduction over time (TG: 12.9 ± 6.7% CG: 12.4 ± 5.8%) and implant survival/success rate (100%). At the 3-year post-loading evaluation, the peri-implant marginal bone loss (TG: 0.52 ± 0.19 mm; CG: 0.48 ± 0.15 mm) and the peri-implant health conditions (TG: 87.5%/CG: 81.2%) did not differ between implants inserted in both xenografts used. CONCLUSIONS The use of DPBM or DBBM for maxillary sinus augmentation is associated with comparable bone formation providing stable graft dimension combined with healthy peri-implant conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The regeneration of bone defects is indicated to restore lost tissue mass and functionality. Ostim®, an absorbable nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (NCHA) paste, is indicated to enhance bone regeneration in bone defects due to trauma or surgery. This retrospective study of 110 patients with long-bone fracture defects presenting at a single trauma center between 2010 and 2012 aimed to compare outcomes with and without the use of Ostim® absorbable nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study encompassed fractures in 110 patients - 55 patients received any defect augmentation (ED) and 55 patients were treated with NCHA augmentation. Fractures were located at the distal radius (66.4%, n=73), proximal humerus (5.5%, n=6), and proximal tibia (28.2%, n=31). Evaluating the clinical follow-up, the study encompassed post-surgery complications (eg, non-unions, infection). Bone healing was evaluated by conventional radiographs. RESULTS Postoperative complications occurred in 45.5% of patients regardless of the treatment (P=1.0). The non-union rate in both groups was 5.5% (n=8, P=1.0), and the risk for infection was lower in the NCHA group (3.6%, ED: n=3, NCHA: n=1, p=0.62). Patients suffered open fractures were treated in the NCHA group (100%, n=7, P=0.003). Radiological assessment demonstrated comparable healing of the fracture border, fracture gap, and articular surface (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The findings from this retrospective study support previous studies that have shown Ostim® absorbable nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste enhances outcomes and reduces the risk of complications when used to repair bone defects in long-bone fractures in trauma patients. NCHA paste augmentation is suitable for use in traumatic long-bone fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the effectiveness of autogenous dentin block graft prepared chairside for alveolar ridge augmentation and compare its clinical outcomes to the main available grafting materials and techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three databases were screened, including prospective clinical studies, utilizing autogenous dentin blocks for ridge augmentation, with at least 3 months of postoperative follow-up. RESULTS Eight articles were included, and four of them were meta-analyzed. Dentin blocks demonstrated similar vertical bone gain and significantly higher width gain, compared to bone blocks (WMD = 0.03, 95% CI -0.51 to 0.57, p = .92 and WMD = 1.34, 95% CI 0.57 to 2.12, p = .0007, respectively). Vertical and horizontal resorption were similar between the two groups (WMD = -0.36, 95% CI -0.91 to 0.18, p = .19, and WMD = -0.47, 95% CI -1.05 to 0.11, p = .11, respectively). Dentin blocks showed more incidences of postoperative complications, however, with no statistical significance (RR = 4.30, 95% CI 0.97 to 18.96, p = .054). The need for additional augmentation upon implant placement was also similar between both grafts (RR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.39 to 2.28, p = .90). Recorded incidences of graft exposure were low (2.27%), and no study stated surgical site infection. CONCLUSION Within its limitations, this study indicates that the autogenous dentin blocks prepared chairside could be a possible alternative to the other established bone augmentation techniques for staged ridge augmentation. Nevertheless, future studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and implant success/survival in sites grafted with this material.
