Abstract
Endo-perio lesions have been a dilemma to the dental practitioner. Both tissues share the same anatomical origin. Sometimes exact etiological passage of disease process cannot be traced; nevertheless traditional and newer treatment modalities must be employed to ensure best treatment possibilities. Patient reported with pain and pus exudates in upper left anterior region. Past dental history revealed no history of trauma. Initial examination revealed draining sinus with respect to 22. However, no Caries and pockets could be detected. Tooth was nonresponsive to vitality test. Patient symptoms did not relieve even two months after completion of RCT. Apical surgery was planned. Apicectomy was done and osseous defect was filled with PRF coagulum. Patient was followed up every three months and showed complete resolution of all symptoms. Radiographs showed complete resolution of osseous defect in nine months. PRF can be used to enhance bone augmentation in treatment of periapical defects as a potential treatment alternative for faster healing.

Abstract
The treatment of pathological fractures of the humerus caused by juvenile or aneurysmal bone cysts (JBC/ABC) should be a single approach with a high success rate and low complication rate. This study evaluates how day by day treatment concepts fulfil these aims. Children below 15 years of age with a pathological fracture of the humerus caused by a JBC or ABC between 01.01.2001 and 31.12.2010, were investigated by chart review in four major paediatric trauma centres. Age, gender, fracture localisation, X-ray findings, treatment and outcome - assessed by the Capanna classification (I to IV), were analysed. 60 children [41male, 19 female; mean age: 9 years (4-14 years)] with 43 JBC and 12 ABC were included as well as five cysts, who could not be classified definitively. First treatment was non-operatively in 33 children. Of these 27 cysts did not improve; likewise the supportive installation of cortisone in six patients did not change the outcome. The first treatment consisted of elastic stable intramedullary in 13 children; up to three nail exchanges included. But only six of these reached (nearly) complete resolution (I/II). Overall the combined mechanical and biological treatment with curettage, elastic stable intramedullary nailing, (artificial) bone substitute and in some cases growth factors was performed as the 1st-line treatment in nine patients and further in 2nd or 3rd-line treatments in 13 humeral cysts. More than half of these reached a complete or nearly complete resolution of the cyst (12x I, 5x II, 1x III, 4x IV). Major complications in all operated patients were six nails not removable and two children with upper extremities length differences. Healing rates are low for non-operative treatment, elastic stable intramedullary nailing alone and by using cortisone for cysts resolution in pathological fractures of the humerus. Data support a combined mechanical and biological treatment with curettage, elastic stable intramedullary nailing, (artificial) bone substitute and the use of growth factors.

Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare and they represent 1- 1.4 % of all primary bone tumors. ABC of cuboid bone are extremely rare, especially in children. Very few cases have been reported in the literature since 1967. We present a case of pathological fracture of cuboid bone due to an aneurysmal cyst in a 10-year-old girl. Surgery was performed, which included open biopsy with aspiration and intralesional curettage . Bone defect was then filled in by fully synthetic cancellous bone graft substitute consisting of pure β-tricalcium phosphate. Aneurysmal cyst of cuboid bone with pathological fracture could be successfully treated with pure β-tricalcium phosphate as a bone graft substitute. This procedure is safe with excellent outcome.Follow up to nearly four years did not show any recurrence.

Abstract
The solitary bone cyst is a typical tumor-like lesion of the immature skeleton, whose etio-pathogenesis is still unclear. The purpose of this work is to perform a review of the literature about the different surgical approaches focusing on the role of bone substitutes and growth factors. Literature analysis shows injection techniques of substances such as methylprednisolone, autologous bone marrow, demineralized bone matrix, calcium sulphate and surgical techniques that involve the resection and curettage associated with bone graft and/or intramedullary nailing. Although there are good results currently associated to these techniques and the different ways of treatment, the only evidence-based treatment is given by injections of steroids. However, given the high rate of failure, autologous bone marrow and platelet gel represent a viable therapeutic option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar ridge reconstruction by means of resorbable and non-resorbable membranes has been proposed to increase the hard tissue volume in deficient sites. The purpose of this study was therefore to clinically and histologically evaluate the use of collagenated porcine bone lamina in case of horizontal and vertical bone augmentation procedures in conjunction with particulate porcine xenograft. METHODS Overall, 8 partially edentulous patients (6 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 45 years requiring bone regeneration procedures to achieve a prosthetically driven implant placement were enrolled. All ridge defects were augmented using a xenogeneic cortical bone barrier in combination with particulate heterologous bone. Bone biopsies were collected during the re-entry procedure. RESULTS A total of 15 implants were placed both simultaneously or in a staged approach in the augmented sites. No complications occurred during the rehabilitation. Histologically, the bone lamina was widely vascularized and integrated with the surrounding soft tissues and the native bone. The presence of osteoclastic lacunae suggested an active remodeling of the particulate graft and a gradual substitution with the newly formed bone. CONCLUSIONS Alveolar reconstruction by means of the collagenated cortical lamina gave promising clinical and histological results. The rigidity and the slow resorption pattern allowed for the blood clot protection even in case of vertical defects, avoiding at the same time the re-entry surgery for its removal.

Abstract
A transalveolar approach for sinus floor elevation with subsequent placement of dental implants was first suggested by Tatum in 1986. In 1994, Summers described a different transalveolar approach using a set of tapered osteotomes with increasing diameters. The transalveolar approach of sinus floor elevation, also referred to as 'osteotome sinus floor elevation', the 'Summers technique' or the 'Crestal approach', may be considered as being more conservative and less invasive than the conventional lateral window approach. This is reflected by the fact that more than nine out of 10 patients who experienced the surgical procedure would be willing to undergo it again. The main indication for transalveolar sinus floor elevation is reduced residual bone height, which does not allow standard implant placement. Contraindications for transalveolar sinus floor elevation may be intra-oral, local or medical. The surgical approach utilized over the last two decades is the technique described by Summers, with or without minor modifications. The surgical care after implant placement using the osteotome technique is similar to the surgical care after standard implant placement. The patients are usually advised to take antibiotic prophylaxis and to utilize antiseptic rinses. The main complications reported after performing a transalveolar sinus floor elevation were perforation of the Schneiderian membrane in 3.8% of patients and postoperative infections in 0.8% of patients. Other complications reported were postoperative hemorrhage, nasal bleeding, blocked nose, hematomas and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Whether it is necessary to use grafting material to maintain space for new bone formation after elevating the sinus membrane utilizing the osteotome technique is still controversial. Positive outcomes have been reported with and without using grafting material. A prospective study, evaluating both approaches, concluded that significantly more bone gain was seen when grafting material was used (4.1 mm mean bone gain compared with 1.7 mm when no grafting material was utilized). In a systematic review, including 19 studies reporting on 4388 implants inserted using the transalveolar sinus floor elevation technique, the 3-year implant survival rate was 92.8% (95% confidence interval: 87.4-96.0%). Furthermore, a subject-based analysis of the same material revealed an annual failure rate of 3.7%. Hence, one in 10 subjects experienced implant loss over 3 years. Several of the included studies demonstrated that transalveolar sinus floor elevation was most predictable when the residual alveolar bone height was ≥ 5 mm and the sinus floor anatomy was relatively flat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to present the results of hip joint arthroplasty with the use of the Taperloc stem. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group consisted of 117 patients (75 women and 42 men) who underwent 121 hip joint arthroplasties with Taperloc stems. Mean age of the patients at surgery was 53.8 years (range: 2475 years). Mean follow-up period was 159.5 months. RESULTS Pre-operative Merle d'Aubigne-Postel scores (modified by Charnley) of the study group were poor in all patients. Mean post-operative improvement was 6.6 points. Excellent results were obtained in 86 cases, good in 19, fair in 9 and poor in 7 cases. Poor results were always associated with implant component loosening: 5 cases of acetabular cup loosening, 1 case of a loosened stem and 1 septic loosening of the entire endoprosthesis. In six cases (4.9%), patients developed heterotopic ossification. According to the Kaplan-Meier estimator, 10 years' survival probability was 94.21% for the whole endoprosthesis and 98.34% for the stem alone. CONCLUSIONS 1. Our follow-up data covering a mean period of over 13 years showed that the use of the Ta-perloc stem substantially reduces hip pain and results in a good lasting clinical outcome. 2. With good surgical technique and in the absence of complications, the risk of aseptic loosening is minimal.

Abstract
This study reports the results of open reduction and internal fixation of 26 unstable, intraarticular, dorsally displaced fractures of the distal radius using a bio-absorbable dorsal distal radius (Reunite) plate and calcium phosphate (Biobon) bone substitute. The bio-absorbable plate has the advantage of being low profile, easily contourable and angularly stable. In the majority of cases, this plate produces functional results comparable with metal plates. The Gartland and Werley score was excellent or good in 21 patients. The theoretical advantage over metal plates is in eliminating the need to remove the plate and hence the need for a second operation if implant-related extensor tenosynovitis occurs. Inflammatory tissue reaction to the degradation products of the plate is a potential concern, although the co-polymer ratio used in this plate appears to have reduced the severity of this reaction, which was seen in two patients in this series. The reduction was lost in five patients with severe dorsal comminution. Following this experience, we do not recommend this plating system for fractures with a metaphyseal gap of greater than 7 mm following reduction.

Abstract
In a prospective study, we used the nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste Ostim (Osartis, Obernburg, Germany) in combination with a palmar plate to treat comminuted radius fractures with a metaphyseal and articular component in order to examine the clinical use of Ostim as a bone substitute. Twenty-one patients with 22 radius fractures of AO types C2 and C3 were included in the study. The measurements, taken 10.2±1.3 months after the initial treatment, revealed a dorsopalmar tilt of 8.8±3.7°, a radioulnar inclination of 18.8±2.8° and an ulnar variance of 0.8±1.8 mm. According to the Gartland and Werley evaluation, eight of the treated fractures attained an excellent, 11 a good and the remaining three a fair result. The study demonstrates that Ostim, in combination with angularly stable osteosynthesis, can be used as an acceptable bone substitute for the treatment of type C2 and C3 radial fractures.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the osteoconductive potential and bone-healing pattern of biphasic calcium phosphates (BCPs) with varying compositions produced using different processing methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten male New Zealand white rabbits were used. Four circular defects with a diameter of 8 mm were made in the rabbit calvarium. Each defect was assigned to one of the following BCP groups: control; BCP1, 70% hydroxyapatite (HA)/30% β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP); BCP2, 30% HA/70% β-TCP; and BCP3, 20% HA/80% β-TCP. The rabbits were killed either 2 (n = 5) or 8 weeks (n = 5) before surgery. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were conducted. RESULTS The total amount of augmentation was significantly greater in the BCP groups than in the control group (P < .05). The amount of new bone formation did not differ significantly among the groups at either 2 or 8 weeks. The resorption of BCPs was significantly greater in the BCP3 group than in the BCP1 and BCP2 groups at 2 weeks, but the difference became insignificant compared with the BCP2 group at 8 weeks. The patterns of new bone formation and material resorption varied markedly among the BCP groups. New bone lined the residual particles in the BCP1 group, but filopodia-shaped new bone was observed in the BCP2 group, and collagen fragments were scattered inside the residual particles in the BCP3 group. Multiple cracklike lines were observed on the particles in the BCP3 group. CONCLUSION The specific HA-β-TCP ratios in the present study did not significantly influence new bone formation and space maintenance. The observed differences in healing patterns between the groups may be attributable to different physicochemical properties conferred upon the BCPs by the different processing methods used to produce them.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the reparatory ability of the synthetic biomaterial hydroxyapatite-poly-L-lactide (HAp-PLLA), the replacement of alveolar ridge, and rehabilitation of bone defects caused by osteoporosis, in an experimental group of animals. The experiments are performed on syngeneic Sprague Dawley rats. Osteoporosis is induced by glucocorticoids in rats during a 12-week period. After this, the experimental group of animals is divided into five subgroups. An artificial defect is made in the alveolar bone on the left side of the mandible. In one group of animals, the defect is left to heal by itself, while in other groups, pure HAp-PLLA or one mixed with plasma is implanted. The best results are achieved by the implantation of the HAp-PLLA composite biomaterial mixed with autologous plasma. Formation of a new mandibular bone is seen, growing intensely, leading to rapid osteogenesis.

Abstract
The effectiveness of the osteotome technique for sinus augmentation was evaluated using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis. Clinical results of two-stage sinus floor elevation using the osteotome technique performed on 15 patients at the Nakajima Dental Clinic between 2006 and 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. CBCT imaging revealed that the maxillary sinus floor was elevated by an average of 7.28 mm (SD 1.62) immediately following surgery, with a mean bone height of 9.55 mm (SD 1.43). In all cases, the osteotome technique provided sufficient bone height for implant placement. No pre- or postoperative complications (eg, mucosal perforation) were reported. The minimal surgical stress and morbidity further underscore the practicality of this approach for two-stage maxillary sinus floor augmentation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study evaluated and compared the 2-year outcomes for sinus floor elevation performed via either an osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique or a reamer-mediated sinus floor elevation (RSFE) technique. Implant survival, as well as surgical and postoperative complications, were used as measures of comparison. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were analyzed according to defined inclusion criteria. Orthopantography was used to assess preoperative; immediate postoperative; and 6-, 12-, and 24-month postoperative bone level changes. Implant survival and the incidence of complications, including sinus membrane perforation, were evaluated using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS From 2008 to 2010, 126 implants were placed simultaneously with sinus floor elevation in 85 patients (n = 43 women and 42 men; mean age ± standard deviation [SD] = 58.1 ± 10.2 years). The OSFE procedure (control) was used to place 65 implants in 45 patients, and the RSFE procedure (experimental) was used to place 61 implants in 40 patients. The mean maxillary residual bone height was 7.1 ± 1.6 mm. Endosinus bone gains were 5.7 ± 1.5 mm and 5.6 ± 2.3 mm for the experimental and control groups (P = .164), respectively, and the 2-year survival rates were 98.4% and 98.5%, respectively. Although no significant differences were observed between the two groups, three (6.7%) membrane perforations occurred in the OSFE group, and none occurred in the RSFE group. Other postoperative complications, including nasal bleeding, postoperative headache, and dizziness, were documented in 7 (15.6%) of 45 OSFE cases and 3 (7.5%) of 40 RSFE cases. CONCLUSION The results presented herein indicate that comparable survival rates were achieved for implants placed in conjunction with a reamer- vs osteotome-mediated technique. Therefore, RSFE is a reliable and predictable procedure for implant placement in the posterior maxilla, with a low incidence of complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the ideal implant insertion time in human bone biopsies after sinus elevation with a composite graft consisting of an equal amount of biomaterial and autologous bone, by comparing the bone regeneration obtained 4 to 5 months after surgery with that obtained after 6 to 8 months, and using the adjacent native bone as reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six biopsy specimens of 11 patients were analyzed. Two groups were created depending on the time of implant insertion: group t1 at 4 to 5 months (n = 13) and group t2 at 6 to 8 months (n = 13). The same volume of grafted bone and native bone were analyzed for each biopsy with microcomputed tomography (microCT) and gene expression analysis. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found in bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction, and trabecular separation (TbSp) between native and grafted bone in both groups, with higher grafted bone values, except for the variable TbSp, which was lower in the grafted bone. This decrease in TbSp in the grafted bone in both groups can be explained by the significant increase in trabecular thickness in group t2 and the trabecular number in group t1, compared with native bone. No significant differences were found between the two groups in the morphometric parameters and BMD of the grafted bone. Also, no significant changes in the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of bone formation, bone resorption, and inflammatory markers were found between both groups, with the exception that alkaline phosphatase mRNA levels were significantly lower in group t1 relative to native bone. CONCLUSION This composite graft showed no differences in three-dimensional microstructure, BMD, or at the molecular level between 4 to 5 months and 6 to 8 months of healing time. Thus, this time can be shortened to 4 months with the security of a grafted area of mature bone.

Abstract
Bone defects are a very common problem in hand surgery, occurring in bone tumor surgery, in complicated fractures, and in wrist surgery. Bone substitutes may be used instead of autologous bone graft to avoid donor site morbidity. In this article, we will review our experience with the use of Cerament bone void filler (Bonesupport, Lund, Sweden) in elective and trauma hand surgery. A prospective clinical study was conducted with 16 patients treated with this bone graft substitute in our department over a period of 3.5 years. Twelve patients (2 female, 10 male; with an average age of 42.42 years) with monostoic enchondroma of the phalanges were treated and 4 patients (1 female, 3 male; with an average age of 55.25 years) with complicated metacarpal fractures with bone defect. Data such as postoperative course with rating of pain, postoperative complications, functional outcome assessment at 1, 2, 3, 6 months, time to complete remodeling were registered. Postoperative redness and swelling after bone graft substitute use was noticed in 7 patients with enchondroma surgery due to the thin soft-tissue envelope of the fingers. Excellent total active motion of the involved digit was noticed in 10 of 12 enchondroma patients and in all 4 fracture patients at 2-month follow-up. In summary, satisfying results are described, making the use of injectable bone graft substitute in the surgical treatment of enchondromas, as well as in trauma hand surgery a good choice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The outcome of pathological fracture due to large aggressive benign stage 3 Dormans and Flynn lesions [6] is often unsatisfactory and the rate of recurrence is high. No single technique has been considered safe and successful. Many Authors suggested curettage and bone grafting as the unique effective treatment in cases of large defect but, because of the invasive and complex nature of the operation (it needs a double-step procedure), it is not preferred. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a minimally invasive treatment in one step through ESIN, curettage and packing with self-setting calcium phosphate cement. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of 116 children admitted at the Division of Pediatric Orthopaedics Surgery of Santobono Children Hospital between 2006 and 2014 with a diagnosis of pathological fracture due to large aggressive ostheolytic benign lesions (stage 3 Dormans and Flynn). The size of bone loss was measured on the AP and ML radiographs and all the cysts with a caudo cranial extension from 5 to 8cm and with a medio lateral extension from 3 to 5cm were included. Mean time follow up 24 months was performed. RESULTS The three-in-one procedure was applied in all 116 patients. After two years of follow up, 113 patients were classified as healed and just 3 required 3 years to complete heal. No severe life threatening adverse effects or complications associated with the use of ESIN and injectable HA were recorded during the follow up period of 24-36 months. Fracture healing occurred in all cases within 4-6 weeks with adequate periosteal and endosteal callus formation. No second pathological fractures occurred in our series as well as no cysts reoccurred. Patients with humeral localizations showed a more rapid regain of muscular function and reestablishment of a complete range of motion. CONCLUSIONS The proposed three-in-one procedure has shown to be efficient, cost-effective, associated to high rates of definitive bone healing and low incidence of adverse effects.

Molecules 2016; 21:molecules21060687. [PMID: 27240326 PMCID: PMC6273399 DOI: 10.3390/molecules21060687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2016] [Revised: 05/20/2016] [Accepted: 05/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Addition of bioactive materials such as calcium phosphates or Bioglass, and incorporation of porosity into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been identified as an effective approach to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK-based devices. In this paper, a novel production technique based on the extrusion freeforming method is proposed that yields a bioactive PEEK/hydroxyapatite (PEEK/HA) composite with a unique configuration in which the bioactive phase (i.e., HA) distribution is computer-controlled within a PEEK matrix. The 100% interconnectivity of the HA network in the biocomposite confers an advantage over alternative forms of other microstructural configurations. Moreover, the technique can be employed to produce porous PEEK structures with controlled pore size and distribution, facilitating greater cellular infiltration and biological integration of PEEK composites within patient tissue. The results of unconfined, uniaxial compressive tests on these new PEEK/HA biocomposites with 40% HA under both static and cyclic mode were promising, showing the composites possess yield and compressive strength within the range of human cortical bone suitable for load bearing applications. In addition, preliminary evidence supporting initial biological safety of the new technique developed is demonstrated in this paper. Sufficient cell attachment, sustained viability in contact with the sample over a seven-day period, evidence of cell bridging and matrix deposition all confirmed excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Physicochemical characteristics of a biomaterial directly influence its biological behavior and fate. However, anatomical and physiological particularities of the recipient site also seem to contribute with this process. The present study aimed to evaluate bone healing of maxillary sinus augmentation using a novel bioactive glass ceramic in comparison with a bovine hydroxyapatite. Bilateral sinus augmentation was performed in adult male rabbits, divided into 4 groups according to the biomaterial used: BO-particulate bovine HA Bio-Oss(®) (BO), BO+G-particulate bovine HA + particulate autogenous bone graft (G), BS-particulate glass ceramic (180-212 μm) Biosilicate(®) (BS), and BS+G-particulate glass ceramic + G. After 45 and 90 days, animals were euthanized and the specimens prepared to be analyzed under light and polarized microscopy, immunohistochemistry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and micro-computed tomography (μCT). Results revealed different degradation pattern between both biomaterials, despite the association with bone graft. BS caused a more intense chronic inflammation with foreign body reaction, which led to a difficulty in bone formation. Besides this evidence, SEM and μCT confirmed direct contact between newly formed bone and biomaterial, along with osteopontin and osteocalcin immunolabeling. Bone matrix mineralization was late in BS group but became similar to BO at day 90. These results clearly indicate that further studies about Biosilicate(®) are necessary to identify the factors that resulted in an unfavorable healing response when used in maxillary sinus augmentation.

Abstract
The aims in treating patients diagnosed with critical-sized bone defects resulting from bone cysts are to replace the lost bone mass after its removal and to restore function. The standard treatment is autologous or allogeneic bone transplantation, notwithstanding the known consequences and risks due to possible bone infection, donor site morbidity, bleeding and nerve injury and possible undesirable immune reactions. Additionally, allogeneic grafts are inhomogeneous, with a mosaic of components with difficult-to-predict regenerative potential, because they consist of cancellous bone obtained from different bones from various cadavers. In the present study, a 22-year-old patient with a history of right humerus fracture due to bone cysts was diagnosed with recurrent cystic lesions based on X-ray results. The patient qualified for an experimental program, in which he was treated with the application of a bioresorbable polylactide hybrid sponge filled with autologous platelet-rich plasma. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging performed 3, 6, and 36 months after surgery showed progressive ossification and bone formation inside the defect cavity in the humerus. Three years after treatment with the bone substitute, the patient is pain free, and the cystic lesions have not reoccurred.

Abstract
The goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is to completely restore the tooth's supporting apparatus that has been lost due to inflammatory periodontal disease or injury. It is characterized by formation of new cementum with inserting collagen fibers, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone. Indeed conventional, nonsurgical, and surgical periodontal therapy usually result in clinical improvements evidenced by probing depth reduction and clinical attachment gain, but the healing occurs predominantly through formation of a long junctional epithelium and no or only unpredictable periodontal regeneration. Therefore, there is an ongoing search for new materials and improved surgical techniques, with the aim of predictably promoting periodontal wound healing/regeneration and improving the clinical outcome. This article attempts to provide the clinician with an overview of the most important biologic events involved in periodontal wound healing/ regeneration and on the criteria on how to select the appropriate regenerative material and surgical technique in order to optimize the clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Impacted maxillary canine teeth commonly occur in the general population. The traditional therapeutic approach comprises fenestration and orthodontic traction; however, if traction is not feasible or the patient refuses orthodontic treatment, an alternative solution is to remove the impacted tooth and immediately place an implant. This technical note describes a novel surgical approach to rehabilitation after impacted canine tooth removal, entailing immediate placement of a long implant in combination with regenerative materials and a barrier. Of note, this procedure preserves the apical ridge bone crest, allowing implant anchorage and primary stability to be achieved.

Abstract
Background With the popularity of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in periodontics, numerous publications have evaluated the benefits of MIS with or without various regenerative biomaterials in the treatment of periodontal intra-bony defects. However, it is unclear if it is necessary to use biomaterials in MIS. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials in patients with intra-bony defects to compare the clinical outcomes of MIS with regenerative biomaterials for MIS alone. Methods The authors retrieved English publications on relevant studies from Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed, Medline, Embase, Clinical Evidence, and ClinicalTrails.gov (up to June 30, 2015). The main clinical outcomes were the reduction of probing pocket depths (PPDs), gain of clinical attachment level (CAL), recession of gingival margin (REC) and radiographic bone fill. Review Manager 5.2 (Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, England) was used to calculate the heterogeneity and mean differences of the main clinical outcomes. Results In total, 464 studies in the literature were identified but only four were ultimately feasible. The results showed no significant difference regarding CAL gain (P = 0.32) and PPD reduction (P = 0.40) as well as REC increase (P = 0.81) and radiographic bone fill (P = 0.64) between the MIS plus biomaterials group and the MIS alone group. Conclusions The meta-analysis suggested no significant difference in treatment of intra-bony defects between the MIS plus biomaterials group and the MIS alone group, indicating that it is important to take costs and benefits into consideration when a decision is made about a therapeutic approach. There needs to be an in-depth exploration of the induction of intrinsic tissue healing of MIS without biomaterials to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract
AIM To analyse data on bone augmentation at single-tooth implants with regard to the type of graft materials, the stability of grafts over time, reported time span towards implant placement, implant survival rates, implant marginal bone maintenance and possible complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature review resulted in 585 titles after exclusion of duplicates. Analyses of article titles and abstracts reduced the number to 93 studies, which were subsequently full-text analysed. After the final selection, a total of 24 studies were included, of which 13 reported on single implants and horizontal/vertical augmentation (onlay), 10 focused on single implants and sinus augmentation (inlay), and one study presented the outcome of single implants and distraction osteogenesis. RESULTS All bone materials, i.e. autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts, were used with comparable satisfactory results, allowing for placement of 7 to 10 mm-long implants. Stability of bone graft volume over time was sparsely documented. Some onlay autografts tended to resorb early i.e. prior to implant placement, but minor bone resorption was also seen for other grafts over time. A continuous but small bone resorption of inlay autografts and alloplasts was seen over time for the few sites recorded. A staged approach predominated for the onlay grafts, with implants placed 3 to 6 months post-grafting, and overall a majority of these implants (347/363) were submerged. For the inlay graft procedures almost all implants were immediately inserted at the time of grafting, and the majority of these implants (253/256) were submerged. A total of five and two implant failures were registered during the various study periods for the onlays and inlays, respectively. Marginal bone conditions, around implants in grafted sites, were comparable to what has generally been reported for non-grafted sites. CONCLUSIONS Bone augmentation for the single-tooth implant is a viable treatment option with predictable graft and implant outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcome of single, partial and full fixed implant-supported prostheses immediately loaded (within 48 h), early loaded at 6 weeks and conventionally loaded at 3 months (delayed loading). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one patients (27 requiring single implants, 27 requiring partial fixed prostheses and 27 requiring total fixed cross-arch prostheses) were randomised in equal numbers in three private practices to immediate loading (27 patients), early loading (27 patients) and conventional loading (27 patients) according to a parallel group design with three arms. To be immediately or early loaded, implants had to be inserted with a torque superior to 40 Ncm. Implants were initially loaded with provisional prostheses and replaced after 4 months by definitive ones. Outcome measures were prosthesis and implant failures and complications. RESULTS No patient dropped out up to 4-months post-loading. No implant or prosthesis failed or any complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS All loading strategies were highly successful and no differences could be observed for implant survival and complications when loading implants immediately, early or conventionally. Conflict-of-interest statement: This trial was partially funded by MegaGen, the manufacturer of the implants evaluated in this investigation, however data belonged to the authors and by no means did the manufacturer interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of its results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcome of single implants placed immediately after tooth extraction with implants placed 6 weeks after tooth extraction (immediate-delayed placement), and with implants placed after 4 months of extraction and socket healing (delayed placement). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and ten patients requiring a single implant-supported crown to replace a tooth to be extracted were randomised to receive immediate post-extractive implants (70 patients), immediate-delayed implants at 6 weeks (70 patients), and delayed implants after 4 months of healing (70 patients), according to a parallel group design. When needed, patients of the immediate and immediate-delayed group had the socket grafted with a bone substitute and covered with a resorbable membrane at implant placement. Sockets randomised to delayed implants were grafted in the same manner if poorly preserved or in the aesthetic areas (from second upper to second upper premolars). Implants inserted with at least 25 Ncm torque were left to heal unloaded for 4 months, whereas those inserted with less than 25 Ncm were left to heal unloaded for 6 months. Temporary crowns were delivered and were to be replaced by definitive ones after 4 months. Outcome measures were crown and implant failures, complications, peri-implant marginal bone level changes, aesthetics assessed using the pink esthetic score (PES) and patient satisfaction recorded by blinded assessors. RESULTS Three patients dropped out from the immediate, five from the immediate-delayed and six from the delayed group up to 4-months post-loading. Four implants (6.0%) failed in the immediate, four (6.2%) in the immediate-delayed and one (1.6%) from the delayed group (P (chi-square test) = 0.369). Apart from the crown failures due to implant losses, no other crown had to be remade. Five immediate, six immediate-delayed and three delayed implants were affected by one complication each (P (chi-square test) = 0.601). Mean peri-implant marginal bone loss after 4 months was -0.17 ± 0.11 mm (95% CI: -0.20; -0.15) at immediate, -0.20 ± 0.09 mm (95% CI: -0.23; -0.18) at immediate-delayed, and -0.24 ± 0.12 mm (95% CI: -0.27; -0.21) at delayed placed implants (P (Kruskal Wallis test) = 0.006). At delivery of definitive crowns, 4 months after loading, the mean total aesthetic score was 12.48, 12.38 and 11.71 in the immediate, immediate-delayed and delayed groups, respectively (P (Kruskal Wallis test) < 0.001). All patients were fully satisfied with both function and aesthetics, and would undergo the same procedure again, with four exceptions (one from the immediate, one from the immediate-delayed and two from the delayed group), who were partially satisfied with the aesthetics (P = 0.785). CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant differences for failures, complications and patient satisfaction were observed when placing single implants immediately, 6 weeks or four months after tooth extraction; nevertheless failures and complications were more frequent for immediate and immediate-delayed placed implants. Bone level changes were similar between the different procedures, but the aesthetics showed better results for immediate and immediate-delayed implants. Conflict-of-interest statement: This trial was partially funded by Nobel Biocare Services AG (code: 2010-894), the manufacturer of the implants evaluated in this investigation, however data belonged to the authors and by no means did the manufacturer interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of the results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The drawbacks of iliac crest autograft as graft material for spine fusion are well reported. Despite continued modifications to improve bone healing capacity, the efficacy of synthetic graft materials as stand-alone replacements remains uncertain. The rabbit posterolateral fusion model is an established environment for testing of fusion concepts. It offers the opportunity to obtain radiographic, biomechanical and histological data on novel fusion materials. The objective of this study was to compare the spine fusion capability of two synthetic bone graft products in an established rabbit posterolateral spine fusion (PLF) model: Signafuse® Bioactive Bone Graft Putty and Actifuse® ABX. METHODS Bilateral intertransverse spine fusion was performed at the L5-L6 transverse processes (TPs) of New Zealand White rabbits using either Signafuse or Actifuse ABX as the bone graft material. Bone remodeling and spine fusion were assessed at 6 and 12 weeks using radiographic, biomechanical and histological endpoints. RESULTS Fusion rate by manual palpation at 6 weeks was greater for Signafuse (33%) compared to Actifuse ABX (0%), and equivalent in both groups at 12 weeks (50%). Biomechanical fusion rate based on flexion-extension data was 80% in Signafuse group and 44% for Actifuse ABX. Histology revealed a normal healing response in both groups. MicroCT and histomorphometric data at 6 weeks showed greater new bone formation in the Signafuse group compared to Actifuse ABX (p <0.05), with no differences detected at 12 weeks. Histological fusion scores were greater in the Signafuse group at 6 and 12 weeks, indicated by higher degree structural remodeling and tendency towards complete bridging of the fusion bed compared to the Actifuse ABX group. CONCLUSION Confirmed by several metrics, Signafuse outperformed Actifuse ABX as a standalone synthetic bone graft in an established PLF model, demonstrating greater rates of bone remodeling and spine fusion. The combination of 45S5 bioactive glass and biphasic HA/βTCP granules of Signafuse appear to provide greater bone healing capability in comparison to the 0.8% silicate-substituted hydroxyapatite material of Actifuse ABX.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of collagenated heterologous bone graft (CHBG) and Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), a plant extract, on bone healing after sinus floor augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six New Zealand rabbits were used. Bilateral sinus augmentation was performed, and 72 bone defects were created. The maxillary sinuses were grafted with four different biomaterials: blood clot (control group), CHBG (Apatos Mix, OsteoBiol, Tecnoss) (graft group), ABS (ABS group), and ABS + CHBG (ABS+graft group). The rabbits were sacrificed at 1, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery. Histochemical and immunohistochemical examinations were performed on all samples. Staining with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome was performed, and bone marker activity was evaluated. RESULTS Lymphocyte infiltration was high at the first week in all groups and decreased from 1 to 8 weeks. All materials were biocompatible. Osteoclast numbers increased in the control group from 1 to 8 weeks and decreased in the other groups. There was no new bone formation in week 1 in all groups. New bone formation increased in all groups from 1 to 8 weeks, and at the fourth week, new bone formation was greater in the ABS and ABS+graft groups than in the other groups. There were osteoclasts around the bone graft materials, but degeneration of the graft was seen only in the ABS+graft group at week 8. CONCLUSION ABS accelerates bone healing in sinus augmentation procedures and can be used alone or with CHBG. CHBG has osteoconductive properties, and ABS can accelerate bone graft degeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study evaluated the use of a composite graft of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and particulate mineralized bone allograft protected by a titanium mesh for vertical bone augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A review of data on patients from four oral and maxillofacial surgery practices in the United States who required vertical augmentation prior to implant treatment was conducted. Vertical augmentation was accomplished with rhBMP-2 in an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier and particulate allograft. Cone beam computed tomography was used to measure vertical bone gains using this technique. RESULTS Sixteen vertical ridge augmentation procedures were performed in 15 patients. The maximum vertical bone gains ranged from 4.4 to 16.3 mm. The average maximum vertical bone gain was 8.53 mm. The procedure allowed implant placement in all patients. Forty implants were inserted into the grafted ridges after a minimum of 6 months of healing. All implants integrated and were used for prosthetic support. CONCLUSION This study suggests that rhBMP-2/ACS and particulate mineralized bone allograft protected by a titanium mesh offers favorable vertical bone gains to allow dental implant placement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To radiographically monitor sinus membrane swelling after lateral sinus floor elevation surgery at short and long healing periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS For 26 patients seeking posterior maxillary implant-supported reconstruction, 32 lateral sinus floor elevations were performed using Piezosurgery. Sinus membranes were grafted using synthetic calcium phosphate bone substitutes, and graft volume was measured in cubic centimeters for each case. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination was conducted preoperatively in all patients and for each grafted sinus at 1 day (n = 8), 2 days (n = 9), 3 days (n = 8), or 7 days (n = 7) after surgery. Control CBCT was then performed for all patients at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Sinus membrane thickness was measured on cross-sectional CBCT images at nine standardized points per sinus, before lateral sinus floor elevation and at all postoperative examinations. RESULTS Mean sinus membrane thickness was 0.73 mm before surgery, and 5 mm, 4.1 mm, 5.9 mm, and 7 mm, respectively, at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after surgery. First week combined postoperative CBCT measurements of membrane thickness was 5.4 mm, then 1.3, 0.68, and 0.39 mm at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively, after surgery. Membrane thickness significantly increased the first week after surgery and gradually decreased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months in all groups (P < .001). First-week postoperative measurements showed a significant increase in membrane thickness at 3 days compared with the 1- and 2-day results (P < .001) and at 7 days compared with all other time points (P < .001). Membrane thickness at 2 days did not change significantly compared with 1-day measurements. Larger graft volume was positively correlated with an increase in membrane thickness after surgery at all time points (n = 32; r = 0.527; P < .001). CONCLUSION After lateral sinus floor elevation surgery, transient swelling of sinus membrane is observed. It reaches a peak value 7 days after surgery and completely resolves over months. This swelling is correlated to the extent of sinus floor elevation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reconstruction of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus usually requires a coronal incision. This extended approach may lead to paresthesia, unsightly scars, bruises and cicatricial alopecia. These complications encouraged several authors to endoscopic management of this kind of fractures. We present a delayed technique of reconstruction of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus by means of endoscopic hydroxyapatite filling. TECHNICAL NOTE Two incisions were performed behind the hair line. Subperiosteal dissection using a periosteal elevator was performed. A 30° angled endoscope was used to visualize the depression. The latter was filled by Hydroset® (Stryker, USA) as a bone substitute. DISCUSSION In the absence of contra-indication, the reconstruction of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus by means of endoscopic hydroxyapatite filling has many advantages including uneventful outcome, reduction of the hospital stay and a fast learning curve.

Abstract
Fracture and bone segment loss are major clinical problems in birds. Achieving bone formation and clinical union in a fracture case is important for the survival of the bird. To evaluate the efficacy of bone grafts for defect healing in birds, 2 different bone grafts were investigated in the healing of a bone defect in 24 healthy pigeons ( Columba livia ). In each bird, a 1-cm critical size defect (CSD) was created in the left ulna, and the fracture was stabilized with external skeletal fixation (ESF). A graft of hydroxyapatite (HA) alone (n = 12 birds) or demineralized bone matrix (DBM) combined with HA (n = 12 birds) was implanted in the CSD. The CSD healing was evaluated at 3 endpoints: 3, 6, and 12 weeks after surgery. Four birds were euthanatized at each endpoint from each treatment group, and bone graft healing in the ulna CSD was evaluated by histologic examination. The CSD and graft implants were evaluated for quality of union, cortex development, and bone graft incorporation. Results showed no graft rejection in any bird, and all birds had connective tissue formation in the defect because of the bone graft application. These results suggest that bone defect healing can be achieved by a combination of osteoinductive and osteoconductive bone graft materials for clinical union and new bone regeneration in birds. The combination of DBM and HA resulted in a better quality bone graft (P < .05) than did HA alone, but there was no significant differences in cortex development or bone graft incorporation at 3, 6, or 12 weeks. From the results of this study, we conclude that HA bone grafts, alone or in combination with DBM, with external skeletal fixation is suitable and safe for bone defect and fracture treatment in pigeons.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of this study were to investigate the best two of five common methods of collecting autologous bone (preliminary study [PS]) and to test clinically the effects of autografts harvested using a trephine bur or bone scraper for sinus augmentation surgery (main study [MS]). MATERIALS AND METHODS In the PS, five autograft samples from five patients (n = 25) were harvested with a bone scraper, round bur, piezoelectric device, implant bur, and trephine bur and were processed for histomorphometric analysis. In the MS, sinus augmentation was performed on 20 patients using bovine-derived bone substitute and autograft collected with a trephine bur (group A, n = 10) or collected with a bone scraper (group B, n = 10). Narrow implants were also placed. At 6 months, changes in graft volume were evaluated with cone beam computed tomography. The amounts of regenerated bone, residual graft, and osseointegration of the implants were assessed histologically. RESULTS In the PS, the trephine bur and bone scraper harvested bone chips that were medium to large and more vital than those obtained with the other tools. In the MS, no significant differences were seen between groups in terms of the amount of residual biomaterial, regenerated bone, change in graft volume, and osseointegration. CONCLUSION Biologic differences between these two bone particulates may not influence regeneration and implant osseointegration in sinus augmentation when mixed with xenograft bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures of the tibial plateau, which are intra-articular injuries of the knee joint, are often difficult to treat and have a high complication rate, including early-onset osteoarthritis. Surgical fixation is usually used for more complex tibial plateau fractures. Additionally, bone void fillers are often used to address bone defects caused by the injury. Currently there is no consensus on either the best method of fixation or bone void filler. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of different surgical interventions, and the use of bone void fillers, for treating tibial plateau fractures. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register (12 September 2014), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (2014 Issue 8), MEDLINE (1946 to September Week 1 2014), EMBASE (1974 to 2014 Week 36), trial registries (4 July 2014), conference proceedings and grey literature (4 July 2014). SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised and quasi-randomised controlled clinical trials comparing surgical interventions for treating tibial plateau fractures and the different types of filler for filling bone defects. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened search results, selected studies, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. We calculated risk ratios (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences (MD) for continuous outcomes, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Only very limited pooling, using the fixed-effect model, was possible. Our primary outcomes were quality of life measures, patient-reported outcome measures of lower limb function and serious adverse events. MAIN RESULTS We included six trials in the review, with a total of 429 adult participants, the majority of whom were male (63%). Three trials evaluated different types of fixation and three analysed different types of bone graft substitutes. All six trials were small and at substantial risk of bias. We judged the quality of most of the available evidence to be very low, meaning that we are very uncertain about these results.One trial compared the use of a circular fixator combined with insertion of percutaneous screws (hybrid fixation) versus standard open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in people with open or closed Schatzker types V or VI tibial plateau fractures. Results (66 participants) for quality of life scores using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) function scores tended to favour hybrid fixation, but a benefit of ORIF could not be ruled out. Participants in the hybrid fixation group had a lower risk for an unplanned reoperation (351 per 1000 people compared with 450 in the ORIF group; 95% CI 197 fewer to 144 more) and were more likely to have returned to their pre-injury activity level (303 per 1000 people, compared with 121 in the ORIF group; 95% CI 15 fewer to 748 more). Results of the two groups were comparable for the WOMAC pain subscale and stiffness scores, but mean knee range of motion values were higher in the hybrid group.Another trial compared the use of a minimally invasive plate (LISS system) versus double-plating ORIF in 84 people who had open or closed bicondylar tibial plateau fractures. Nearly twice as many participants (22 versus 12) in the ORIF group had a bone graft. Quality of life, pain, knee range of motion and return to pre-injury activity were not reported. The trial provided no evidence of differences in HSS knee scores, complications or reoperation entailing implant removal or revision fixation. A quasi-randomised trial comparing arthroscopically-assisted percutaneous reduction and internal fixation versus standard ORIF reported results at 14 months in 58 people with closed Schatzker types II or III tibial plateau fracture. Quality of life, pain and return to pre-injury activity were not reported. There was very low quality evidence of higher HSS knee scores and higher knee range of motion values in the arthroscopically assisted group. No reoperations were reported.Three trials compared different types of bone substitute versus autologous bone graft (autograft) for managing bone defects. Quality of life, pain and return to pre-injury activity were not reported. Only one trial (25 participants) reported on lower limb function, finding good or excellent results in both groups for walking, climbing stairs, squatting and jumping at 12 months. The incidences of individual complications were similar between groups in all three trials. One trial found no cases of inflammatory response in the 20 participants receiving bone substitute, and two found no complications associated with the donor site in the autograft group (58 participants). However, all 38 participants in the autologous iliac bone graft group of one trial reported prolonged pain from the harvest site. Two trials reported similar range of motion results in the two groups, whereas the third trial favoured the bone substitute group. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Currently, there is insufficient evidence to ascertain the best method of fixation or the best method of addressing bone defects during surgery. However, the evidence does not contradict approaches aiming to limit soft-tissue dissection and damage or to avoid autograft donor site complications through using bone substitutes. Further well-designed, larger randomised trials are warranted.

Abstract
The correction of bone defects can be performed using autogenous or alloplastic materials, such as beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). This study compared the changes in bone volume (CBV) after maxillary sinus lifting using autogenous bone (n = 12), autogenous bone associated with β-TCP 1:1 (ChronOS; DePuy Synthes, Paoli, CA, USA) (n = 9), and β-TCP alone (n = 11) as grafting material, by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBV was evaluated by comparing CBCT scans obtained in the immediate postoperative period (5-7 days) and at 6 months postoperative in each group using OsiriX software (OsiriX Foundation, Geneva, Switzerland). The results showed an average resorption of 45.7 ± 18.6% for the autogenous bone group, 43.8 ± 18.4% for the autogenous bone+β-TCP group, and 38.3 ± 16.6% for the β-TCP group. All bone substitute materials tested in this study presented satisfactory results for maxillary sinus lifting procedures regarding the maintenance of graft volume during the healing phase before the insertion of implants, as assessed by means of CBCT.

Abstract
Gelatin-hydroxyapatite composite microspheres composed of 21% gelatin (G) and 79% hydroxyapatite (HA) with uniform morphology and controllable size were synthesized from a mixed solution of Ca(NO3)2, NH4H2PO4 and gelatin by a wet-chemical method. Material analyses such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning/transmission electron microscopy examination (SEM/TEM) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) were used to characterize G-HA microspheres by analyzing their crystalline phase, microstructure, morphology and composition. HA crystals precipitate along G fibers to form nano-rods with diameters of 6-10nm and tangle into porous microspheres after blending. The cell culture indicates that G-HA composite microspheres without any toxicity could enhance the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells. In a rat calvarial defect model, G-HA bioactive scaffolds were compared with fibrin glue (F) and Osteoset® Bone Graft Substitute (OS) for their capacity of regenerating bone. Four weeks post-implantation, new bone, mineralization, and expanded blood vessel area were found in G-HA scaffolds, indicating greater osteoconductivity and bioactivity than F and OS.

Abstract
The aim of this histologic, double-blind, parallel, randomized controlled trial was to compare anorganic bone mineral-collagen membranes (BB) and betatricalcium phosphate-pericardium collagen membranes (CJ) in a one-stage procedure for horizontal bone augmentation. A biopsy was performed in the regenerated area at abutment connection 6 months after surgery. Five patients were assigned and treated with the BB combination and five patients were treated with the CJ combination. At abutment connection, 6 months after grafting, no significant differences were evident in the histomorphometric comparisons, even if the percentage of residual graft, using the marrow spaces and soft tissue as a reference, tended to be greater in the CJ group (P = .0759).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (rhBMP-7) and resorbable calcium phosphate bone substitute (rCPBS) as a salvage solution for recalcitrant tibial fracture nonunions. Twenty consecutive patients, 16 male and four female, with a mean age of 46.8±15.7 years (21-78) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 24.2±5.3kgm(-2) (21.5-28.5), suffering from 20 recalcitrant tibial fracture nonunions were included. The mean number of operations performed prior to the procedure was 3.3, with homolateral iliac crest bone grafts being used for all of the patients. All patients were treated with a procedure including debridement and decortications of the bone ends, nonunion fixation with a locking plate, and filling of the bony defect with a combined graft of rhBMP-7 (as osteoinductor) with an rCPBS (as scaffold). The mean follow-up was 14±2.7 months. Both clinical and radiological union occurred in 18 cases, within a mean time of 4.7±3.2 months. A recurrence of deep infection was diagnosed for one of the non-consolidated patients. No specific complication of rCPBS or rhBMP-7 was encountered. This study supports the view that the application of rCPBS combined with rhBMP-7, without any bone grafting, is safe and efficient in the treatment of recalcitrant bone union.

Abstract
Tissue engineering offers high hopes for the treatment of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Whereas scaffolds of the disc nucleus and annulus have been extensively studied, a truly biomimetic and mechanically functional biphasic scaffold using naturally occurring extracellular matrix is yet to be developed. Here, a biphasic scaffold was fabricated with collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), two of the most abundant extracellular matrix components in the IVD. Following fabrication, the scaffold was characterized and benchmarked against native disc. The biphasic scaffold was composed of a collagen-GAG co-precipitate making up the nucleus pulposus-like core, and this was encapsulated in multiple lamellae of photochemically crosslinked collagen membranes comprising the annulus fibrosus-like lamellae. On mechanical testing, the height of our engineered disc recovered by ~82-89% in an annulus-independent manner, when compared with the 99% recovery exhibited by native disc. The annulus-independent nature of disc height recovery suggests that the fluid replacement function of the engineered nucleus pulposus core might mimic this hitherto unique feature of native disc. Biphasic scaffolds comprised of 10 annulus fibrosus-like lamellae had the best overall mechanical performance among the various designs owing to their similarity to native disc in most aspects, including elastic compliance during creep and recovery, and viscous compliance during recovery. However, the dynamic mechanical performance (including dynamic stiffness and damping factor) of all the biphasic scaffolds was similar to that of the native discs. This study contributes to the rationalized design and development of a biomimetic and mechanically viable biphasic scaffold for IVD tissue engineering.

Abstract
Strategies for bone tissue regeneration have been continuously evolving for the last 25 years since the introduction of the "tissue engineering" concept. The convergence of the life, physical, and engineering sciences has brought in several advanced technologies available to tissue engineers and scientists. This resulted in the creation of a new multidisciplinary field termed as "regenerative engineering". In this article, the role of biomaterials in bone regenerative engineering is systematically reviewed to elucidate the new design criteria for the next generation of biomaterials for bone regenerative engineering. The exemplary design of biomaterials harnessing various materials characteristics towards successful bone defect repair and regeneration is highlighted. Particular attention is given to the attempts of incorporating advanced materials science, stem cell technologies, and developmental biology into biomaterials design to engineer and develop the next generation bone grafts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ortho dontico-surgical coverage of alveolar crack is essential in reason of its repercussions on facial growth and implementation of children's teeth set. We proposed to realize a premature gingivo periosto plastic surgery from 4 years old by osseous substitute to lower age of alveolar cracks closure and decrease the morbidity of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study over one year (January, 2012 to December, 2012), with six months postoperatively outcomes, on 23 cases of gingivo periosto plastic sugary with osseous substitute type glass by bone transplant at infantile plastic surgery service of Timone - Children teaching hospital of Marseille, France. RESULTS We held 23 patients. Seventeen children, 12 boys and 5 girls presented unilateral cracks. Twenty patients required a quantity of glass bone under 1cc for the narrow cracks. Prevalence of the mucous cracks was low (4 cases on 23). Technique of gingivo periosto plastic surgery with osseous substitute is simple and our results are globally satisfactory. We observed less morbidity of the operating site. CONCLUSION The first results of this study showed that gingivo periosto plastic surgery with osseous substitute glass bone is a simple, reliable and reproducible technique, with promising results. Reduction of site's morbidity by osseous transplant, accessibility of glass bone cost and simplicity of surgical gesture justified adoption of this technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the histologic quality and histomorphometric quantity of newly formed bone and the biologic properties after maxillary sinus floor augmentation with biphasic tricalcium phosphate (BCP) prior to dental implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The selected alloplastic bone substitute, a blend of 60% hydroxyapatite and 40% β-tricalcium phosphate, was placed into the sinus cavity and covered with a bioresorbable membrane. Ten bone samples were harvested from the grafted sinuses of eight patients at 6 months postsurgery for histologic and histomorphometric analysis during implant placement at stage-two surgery. RESULTS Histologic analysis of the 10 biopsy specimens showed remaining BCP particles in intimate contact with the newly formed bone. Several areas of bone substitute resorption and new bone remodeling were observed. The mean composition of the bone samples harvested from the grafted sinuses was 26.1% ± 6.3% newly formed bone, 29.3% ± 9.1% remaining BCP particles, and 44.7% ± 7.7% connective tissue/bone marrow. CONCLUSION BCP biomaterial was osteoconductive and biocompatible. This biomaterial scaffold promoted the formation of new bone, which was in intimate contact with the remaining bone substitute particles. Within the limits of this study, maxillary sinus floor augmentation using BCP bone substitute is a reliable procedure for dental implant placement.

Abstract
To successfully rehabilitate edentulous patients using endosseous implants, there must be enough available bone. Several techniques have been proposed for augmentation of sites with insufficient bone volume. Although autogenous bone has long been considered the gold standard for such procedures, the limited availability of graft material and a high morbidity rate are potential disadvantages of this type of graft. An alternative is to use recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), which is able to support bone regeneration in the oral environment. These cases demonstrate the applicability of rhBMP-2 in maxillary sinus elevation and augmentation procedures in the maxilla to enable dental implant placement. The use of rhBMP-2 in alveolar augmentation procedures had several clinical benefits for these patients.

Abstract
Researchers have investigated several therapeutic approaches to treat non-union fractures. Among these, bioactive glasses and glass ceramics have been widely used as grafts. This class of biomaterial has the ability to integrate with living bone. Nevertheless, bioglass and bioactive materials have been used mainly as powder and blocks, compromising the filling of irregular bone defects. Considering this matter, our research group has developed a new bioactive glass composition that can originate malleable fibers, which can offer a more suitable material to be used as bone graft substitutes. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the morphological structure (via scanning electron microscope) of these fibers upon incubation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) after 1, 7 and 14 days and, also, evaluate the in vivo tissue response to the new biomaterial using implantation in rat tibial defects. The histopathological, immunohistochemistry and biomechanical analyzes after 15, 30 and 60 days of implantation were performed to investigate the effects of the material on bone repair. The PBS incubation indicated that the fibers of the glassy scaffold degraded over time. The histological analysis revealed a progressive degradation of the material with increasing implantation time and also its substitution by granulation tissue and woven bone. Histomorphometry showed a higher amount of newly formed bone area in the control group (CG) compared to the biomaterial group (BG) 15 days post-surgery. After 30 and 60 days, CG and BG showed a similar amount of newly formed bone. The novel biomaterial enhanced the expression of RUNX-2 and RANK-L, and also improved the mechanical properties of the tibial callus at day 15 after surgery. These results indicated a promising use of the new biomaterial for bone engineering. However, further long-term studies should be carried out to provide additional information concerning the material degradation in the later stages and the bone regeneration induced by the fibrous material.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been suggested as biodegradable bone implant materials due to their good intrinsic biocompatibility and great mechanical properties. Although magnesium has attractive properties as an orthopedic implant material, its quick degradation and low bioactivity may lead to the loss of mechanical integrity of the implant during the bone healing process. In this paper, we endeavor to surmount the abovementioned defects using the surface coating technique. We have recently coated AZ91 magnesium implants with merwinite (Ca3MgSi2O8) through the coupling of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and electrophoretic deposition method. In this work, we are specifically focused on the in vivo examinations of the coated implants in comparison with the uncoated one. For the in vivo experiment, the rod samples, including the uncoated and merwinite/PEO coated implants, were imbedded into the greater trochanter of rabbits. The results of the in vivo animal test indicated an improvement in biodegradability including slower implant weight loss, reduction in Mg ion released from the coated implants in the blood plasma, lesser release of hydrogen bubbles and an improvement in biocompatibility including an increase in the amount of bone formation and ultimately a mild bone inflammation after the surgery according to the histological images. In summary, proper surface treatment of magnesium implants such as silicate bioactive ceramics may improve their biocompatibility under physiological conditions to making them suitable and applicable for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Bone is a unique organ composed of mineralized hard tissue, unlike any other body part. The unique manner in which bone can constantly undergo self-remodeling has created interesting clinical approaches to the healing of damaged bone. Healing of large bone defects is achieved using implant materials that gradually integrate with the body after healing is completed. Such strategies require a multidisciplinary approach by material scientists, biological scientists, and clinicians. Development of materials for bone healing and exploration of the interactions thereof with the body are active research areas. In this review, we explore ongoing developments in the creation of materials for regenerating hard tissues.

Abstract
There is a need for the evaluation of the long-term response to xenogeneic extraction socket grafting. In this case report, two maxillary incisors were extracted, and the sockets were filled with a xenogeneic bone substitute to counteract postextraction volume loss. Three years after tooth extraction and ridge preservation, there was ample bone volume to insert two implants. Histologic and histomorphometric analysis of trephine drill biopsy specimens provided evidence of new bone formation and biologic integration of the bone substitute. The results confirm the benefit of ridge preservation techniques and give insight into the histologic long-term results after socket filling.

JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2015; 26:159. [PMID: 25786396 PMCID: PMC4365274 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-015-5483-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2014] [Accepted: 02/09/2015] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
The paper presents results of physico-chemical and biological investigations of a surface-engineered synthetic bone filler. Surface analysis confirms that the ceramic phosphate granules present a collagen nanolayer to the surrounding environment. Cell cultures tests show that, in agreement with literature reports, surface-immobilized collagen molecular cues can stimulate progression along the osteogenic pathway of undifferentiated human mesenchymal cells. Finally, in vivo test in a rabbit model of critical bone defects shows statistically significant increase of bone volume and mineral apposition rate between the biomimetic bone filler and collagen-free control. All together, obtained data confirm that biomolecular surface engineering can upgrade the properties of implant device, by promoting more specific and targeted implant-host cells interactions.

Abstract
Alveolar bone that is insufficient to support implant placement due to lack of height or width may be augmented with grafting materials including bone morphogenic protein to create sites that are adequate for implant placement and long-term stability of implant-supported prosthesis. Bone morphogenic protein can be used alone or in concert with other bone graft materials as an alternative to invasive allograft bone harvesting procedures.
