Abstract
Background Conventional techniques used in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction focus mainly on utilizing autologous tissues that have unquestionably improved function and esthetics for many patients, worldwide. However, the success depends on countless factors such as: donor and recipient sites conditions, patient's medical history, surgeon's experience, restricted availability of high-quality autogenous tissues or stem cells, and increased surgical cost and time. Materials and Methods Lately, teaming researchers, scientists, surgeons, and engineers, to address these limitations, have allowed tremendous progress in recombinant protein therapy, cell-based therapy, and gene therapy. Results Over the past few years, biomedical engineering has been evolving from the laboratory to clinical applications, for replacement of damaged body tissues due to trauma, cancer, congenital or acquired disorders. Conclusions This review provides an outlook on the content, benefits, recent advances, limitations, and future expectations of biomedical engineering for salivary glands, oral mucosa, dental structures, and maxillofacial reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The novel two-stage technique presented in this study is based on guided bone regeneration for three-dimensional bone augmentation. METHODS AND RESULTS The proposed technique was performed to augment an atrophic alveolar ridge in the maxilla and mandible. This method is based on using an autogenous bone plate, a mixture of allogeneic bone graft and injectable -platelet-rich fibrin, and a bioresorbable barrier membrane. Based on the cases presented in this study, sufficient osseous regeneration was achieved to place dental implants in an ideal position. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the present study, it seems that in situ shell technique could be a beneficial method to augment the extremely atrophied ridges with less morbidity and shorter operative time. KEY POINTS Why is this case new information? The cases presented a new technique using in situ autogenous plates for ridge augmentation. What are the keys to the successful management of this case? The keys to the successful management of these cases are proper flap management and less traumatic bony plate preparation. What are the primary limitations to success in this case? The primary limitation to success in this technique would be a need for high surgical skills to conduct the procedure accurately.

Abstract
In this review, we explore the application of novel biomaterial-based therapies specifically targeted towards craniofacial bone defects. The repair and regeneration of critical sized bone defects in the craniofacial region requires the use of bioactive materials to stabilize and expedite the healing process. However, the existing clinical approaches face challenges in effectively treating complex craniofacial bone defects, including issues such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and soft tissue loss. Given that a significant portion of individuals affected by traumatic bone defects in the craniofacial area belong to the aging population, there is an urgent need for innovative biomaterials to address the declining rate of new bone formation associated with age-related changes in the skeletal system. This article emphasizes the importance of semiconductor industry-derived materials as a potential solution to combat oxidative stress and address the challenges associated with aging bone. Furthermore, we discuss various material and autologous treatment approaches, as well as in vitro and in vivo models used to investigate new therapeutic strategies in the context of craniofacial bone repair. By focusing on these aspects, we aim to shed light on the potential of advanced biomaterials to overcome the limitations of current treatments and pave the way for more effective and efficient therapeutic interventions for craniofacial bone defects.

Evaluation of innovative polyvinyl alcohol/ alginate/ green palladium nanoparticles composite scaffolds: Effect on differentiated human dental pulp stem cells into osteoblasts. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 140:105700. [PMID: 36801785 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105700] [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: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are attracting great concern for bone tissue engineering applications. However, selecting an appropriate material with optimal physical, chemical, and mechanical properties is considered a great challenge. The green synthesis approach is essential to avoid the production of harmful by-products through textured construction, sustainable, and eco-friendly procedures. This work aimed at the implementation of natural green synthesized metallic nanoparticles for the development of composite scaffolds for dental applications. In this study, innovative hybrid scaffolds of polyvinyl alcohol/alginate (PVA/Alg) composite loaded with various concentrations of green palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) have been synthesized. Various characteristic analysis techniques were used to investigate the synthesized composite scaffold's properties. The SEM analysis revealed impressive microstructure of the synthesized scaffolds dependent on the Pd NPs concentration. The results confirmed the positive effect of Pd NPs doping on the sample stability over time. The synthesized scaffolds were characterized by the oriented lamellar porous structure. The results confirmed the shape stability, without pores breakdown during the drying process. The XRD analysis confirmed that doping with Pd NPs does not affect the crystallinity degree of the PVA/Alg hybrid scaffolds. The mechanical properties results (up to 50 MPa) confirmed the remarkable effect of Pd NPs doping and its concentration on the developed scaffolds. The MTT assay results showed that the incorporation of Pd NPs into the nanocomposite scaffolds is necessary for increasing cell viability. According to the SEM results, the scaffolds with Pd NPs provided the differentiated grown osteoblast cells with enough mechanical support and stability and the cells had a regular form and were highly dense. In conclusion, the synthesized composite scaffolds expressed suitable biodegradable, osteoconductive properties, and the ability to construct 3D structures for bone regeneration, making them a potential option for treating critical deficiencies of bone.

Abstract
Reconstruction of bone defects and maintaining the continuity of the mandible is still a challenge in the maxillofacial surgery. Nowadays, the biomedical research within bone defect treatment is focussed on the therapy of using innovative biomaterials with specific characteristics consisting of the body’s own substances. Hydroxyapatite ceramic scaffolds have fully acceptable phase compositions, microstructures and compressive strengths for their use in regenerative medicine. The innovative hydroxyapatite ceramics used by us were prepared using the tape-casting method, which allows variation in the shape of samples after packing hydroxyapatite paste to 3D-printed plastic form. The purpose of our qualitative study was to evaluate the regenerative potential of the innovative ceramic biomaterial prepared using this method in the therapy of the cortical bone of the lower jaw in four mature pigs. The mandible bone defects were evaluated after different periods of time (after 3, 4, 5 and 6 months) and compared with the control sample (healthy cortical bone from the opposite side of the mandible). The results of the morphological, clinical and radiological investigation and hardness examination confirmed the positive regenerative potential of ceramic implants after treatment of the mandible bone defects in the porcine mandible model.

Abstract
Mandibular defect becomes a prevalent maxillofacial disease resulting in mandibular dysfunctions and huge psychological burdens to the patients. Considering the routine presence of oral contaminations and aesthetic restoration of facial structures, the current clinical treatments are however limited, incapable to reconstruct the structural integrity and regeneration, spurring the need for cost-effective mandibular tissue engineering. Hydrogel systems possess great merit for mandibular reconstruction with precise involvement of cells and bioactive factors. In this review, current clinical treatments and distinct mode(s) of mandible formation and pathological resorption are summarized, followed by a review of hydrogel-related mandibular tissue engineering, and an update on the advanced fabrication of hydrogels with improved mechanical property, antibacterial ability, injectable form, and 3D bioprinted hydrogel constructs. The exploration of advanced hydrogel systems will lay down a solid foundation for a bright future with more biocompatible, effective, and personalized treatment in mandibular reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal the peculiarities of reparative osteogenesis in experimental lower jaw defect under the conditions of hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material application and electrical stimulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: An experiment was conducted on 48 mature male rats of the WAG population. All animals were divided into 4 groups (12 animals in each group). Group 1 included rats that were not subjected to any manipulations. Group 2 included rats that were modeled with a perforated defect of the lower jaw body. Group 3 included rats that were modeled with a perforated defect similar to group 2, the cavity of which was filled with synthetic bone graft "Biomin GT" (RAPID, Ukraine). Group 4 included animals that were modeled with a perforated defect similar to groups 2-3, the cavity of which was filled with synthetic bone graft "Biomin GT". In animals of group 4, a microdevice for electrical action was implanted subcutaneously in the neck area on the side of the simulated bone defect. Morphological and statistical methods were used. RESULTS Results: The research carried out by the authors proved that the use of the above-mentioned bone replacement material helps to increase the regenerative potential of the bone tissue of the lower jaw, but does not lead to the formation of a full-fledged bone regenerate, as evidenced by the results of the morphometry of the regenerate (the specific volume of lamellar bone tissue accounted for 54.9%); disordered localization of bone beams, which were characterized by reduced signs of mineralization; the presence in connective, osteogenic fibroreticular and lamellar bone tissues the encapsulated bone graft granules with the presence of inflammatory cell infiltration. In cases the combined use of synthetic bone graft "Biomin GT" and electrical stimulation, the authors noted more intensive reparative osteogenesis processes in the bone defect of the lower jaw compared to cases when only one bone graft was used, but they also did not lead to the formation of a full-fledged bone regenerate. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The experimental and morphological study conducted by the authors proved that the use of hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material ("Biomin GT"), especially in cases of its combined use with electrical stimulation, significantly activates reparative osteogenesis in the bone defect of the lower jaw, which does not lead to the formation of a full-fledged bone regenerate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many studies have aimed to investigate the regeneration potential of bone substitutes through animal models at different defect sites, where the bone healing mechanism varies due to developmental, structural and functional differences. This study aims to develop a rabbit model with two functionally different (non-load-bearing calvarias and load-bearing mandibular) critical-sized defects (CSD) in one rabbit. MATERIAL & METHOD The comparison of the "gold standard" autograft to a sham (no graft) control was undertaken in order to validate this model; at the same time, a 3D-printed biphasic calcium phosphate scaffold was implanted to test its utility in the evaluation of new bone substitute materials. Twenty rabbits were selected with both a 10 mm calvaria defect and a 11 mm bicortical semi-cylindrical mandibular defect. The animals were euthanized at 4 and 12 weeks once surgery, microcomputed tomography and histological analysis had been performed. RESULTS In the case of the calvaria, the results for the non-healing sham group compared with the healing of those that had undergone the autograft validated the CSD model. But the mandibular defect was not validated, due to the particularity of mandible high mechanical stress and infectious risk. DISCUSSION This study showed for the first time that rabbits have a high tolerance for the bilateral double-site CSD model under consideration; and further studies are essential to modify and improve the design of mandibular CSD.

Abstract
Three-dimensional-printed scaffolds have received greater attention as an attractive option compared to the conventional bone grafts for regeneration of alveolar bone defects. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphates have been used as biomaterials in the fabrication of 3D-printed scaffolds. This scoping review aimed to evaluate the potential of 3D-printed HA and calcium phosphates-based scaffolds on alveolar bone regeneration in animal models. The systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases: Ovid, Web of Science, PubMed and EBSCOHOST, based on PRISMA-ScR guidelines until November 2021. The inclusion criteria were: (i) animal models undergoing alveolar bone regenerative surgery, (ii) the intervention to regenerate or augment bone using 3D-printed hydroxyapatite or other calcium phosphate scaffolds and (iii) histological and microcomputed tomographic analyses of new bone formation and biological properties of 3D-printed hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphates. A total of ten studies were included in the review. All the studies showed promising results on new bone formation without any inflammatory reactions, regardless of the animal species. In conclusion, hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphates are feasible materials for 3D-printed scaffolds for alveolar bone regeneration and demonstrated bone regenerative potential in the oral cavity. However, further research is warranted to determine the scaffold material which mimics the gold standard of care for bone regeneration in the load-bearing areas, including the masticatory load of the oral cavity.

Bilateral double site (calvarial and mandibular) critical-size bone defect model in rabbits for evaluation of a craniofacial tissue engineering constructs. Mater Today Bio 2022; 14:100267. [PMID: 35514436 PMCID: PMC9061786 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Most existing preclinical models for evaluating the biosafety and bone-regeneration efficacy of innovative bone substitute materials (BSMs) or tissue engineering (TE) constructs only consisted of a single-site defect and the anatomical locations of defect varied drastically. While the compelling evidence showed that the bone healing pattern is location-dependent, owing to developmental, structural, and functional differences of anatomical locations, this is particularly true for the craniofacial region. Taking this into account, the bone healing efficiency of a BSM shown at one anatomical defect location cannot ensure the same impact at another. This prompted us to develop, for the first time, a model of bilateral critical-sized defect (CSD) at two distinctly different locations (non-load-bearing parietal calvaria and load-bearing mandibular body) co-existing in one rabbit to reduce the number of animals needed and avoid the influence of interindividual variability and evaluation bias on comparisons. 24 healthy adult male New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to a group, either control, autograft (considered the "gold standard") or a clinically relevant BSM (biphasic calcium phosphate granules) (BCPg, Mastergraft®, Medronics). The full-thickness cylindrical calvarial defect (ø10 mm) on frontoparietal region and mandibular composite defect (ø11 mm) on the body of the mandible were created bilaterally using low-speed drilling with saline irrigation. The defect on one side was filled with autograft debris or BCPg, and the other side was no graft (empty). Following the euthanasia of animals at the predetermined intervals (4w and 12w), the defect zones were examined macroscopically and then sampled and processed for microcomputed tomography (microCT) and histological analysis. All surgeries went uneventfully, and all rabbits recovered slowly but steadily. No symptoms of infection or inflammation associated with the defect were observed during the experiment. At 4w and 12w, macroscopic views of all defect sites were clean without any signs of necrosis or abscess, and no intraoral communication was found. The analysis of microCT and histological findings showed the non-healing nature of the empty defect, thereby both calvaria and mandible CSDs can be validated. The study of the application of BCPg in this defect model highlighted good osteointegration and excellent osteoconductive properties but compromised the osteoinductive properties of this material (compared with autograft). To conclude, this novel double-site CSD model holds great promise in the application for preclinical evaluation of BSMs, TE construct, etc. With a reduced number of animals in use, and lower interindividual variability and evaluation bias for comparisons.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing field with potential for the regeneration of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bones, with 3D printing being a suitable fabrication tool for patient-specific implants. The CMF region includes a variety of different bones with distinct functions. The clinical implementation of tissue engineering concepts is currently poor, likely due to multiple reasons including the complexity of the CMF anatomy and biology, and the limited relevance of the currently used preclinical models. The 'recapitulation of a human disease' is a core requisite of preclinical animal models, but this aspect is often neglected, with a vast majority of studies failing to identify the specific clinical indication they are targeting and/or the rationale for choosing one animal model over another. Currently, there are no suitable guidelines that propose the most appropriate animal model to address a specific CMF pathology and no standards are established to test the efficacy of biomaterials or tissue engineered constructs in the CMF field. This review reports the current clinical scenario of CMF reconstruction, then discusses the numerous limitations of currently used preclinical animal models employed for validating 3D-printed tissue engineered constructs and the need to reduce animal work that does not address a specific clinical question. We will highlight critical research aspects to consider, to pave a clinically driven path for the development of new tissue engineered materials for CMF reconstruction.

Abstract
Large segmental mandible bone defects still represent a challenge for endogenous regeneration. Despite the bone's capacity to heal in many clinical situations, bone defects over a critical size do not heal spontaneously. An emerging treatment of critically sized mandibular defects is the implantation of individually manufactured scaffolds consisting of biodegradable magnesium alloys. Biomedical engineers faced the challenge of developing a scaffold structure that not only provides sufficient stability, but also stimulates and promotes bone growth while considering the degradation of the magnesium alloy. The porosity of the scaffold must also support bone ingrowth and neovascularization. For an optimal design and subsequent structural optimization knowledge of external load cases is essential. However, currently the muscle and joint forces of the mandible cannot be measured directly. The aim of our study was therefore the development of a parametric human mandible model to determine the relevant boundary conditions for the subsequent structural optimization of individual jawbone implants. Using a model-based approach, determining the essential external load of the mandible as a function of the age and sex of a patient individually and the realistic simulation of the mechanical stress for patient-specific loads and anatomies has been realized. The developed model is successfully validated by evaluating the deformations and stresses of the lower jaw of a possible patient and comparing them with the results of dental research. Based on the results of the modelling, in a subsequent optimization process section forces at the interface between the bone tissue and jawbone implant can be determined and used to optimize the design of the jawbone implant.

Local administration of HMGB-1 promotes bone regeneration on the critical-sized mandibular defects in rabbits. Sci Rep 2021; 11:8950.

Abstract
Reconstruction of a critical-sized osseous defect is challenging in maxillofacial surgery. Despite novel treatments and advances in supportive therapies, severe complications including infection, nonunion, and malunion can still occur. Here, we aimed to assess the use of a beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold loaded with high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) as a novel critical-sized bone defect treatment in rabbits. The study was performed on 15 specific pathogen-free New Zealand rabbits divided into three groups: Group A had an osseous defect filled with a β-TCP scaffold loaded with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (100 µL/scaffold), the defect in group B was filled with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) (10 µg/100 µL), and the defect in group C was loaded with HMGB-1 (10 µg/100 µL). Micro-computed tomography (CT) examination demonstrated that group C (HMGB-1) showed the highest new bone volume ratio, with a mean value of 66.5%, followed by the group B (rhBMP-2) (31.0%), and group A (Control) (7.1%). Histological examination of the HMGB-1 treated group showed a vast area covered by lamellar and woven bone surrounding the β-TCP granule remnants. These results suggest that HMGB-1 could be an effective alternative molecule for bone regeneration in critical-sized mandibular bone defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE This research evaluated clinical, histological, and radiological osseous regeneration in a critical-sized bilateral cortico-medullary osseous defect in model rabbits from New Zealand after receiving a hydroxyapatite matrix and polylactic polyglycolic acid (HA/PLGA) implanted with human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). METHODS Eight New Zealand rabbits with bilateral mandibular critical-sized defects were performed where one side was treated with an HA/PLGA/DPSC matrix and the other side only with an HA/PLGA matrix for 4 weeks. RESULTS An osseointegration was clinically observed as well as a reduction of 70% of the surgical lumen on one side and a 35% on the other. Histologically, there was neo-bone formation in HA/PLGA/DPSC scaffold and angiogenesis. A bone radiodensity (RD) of 80% was radiologically observed achieving density levels similar to mandibular bone, while the treatment with HA/PLGA matrix achieves RD levels of 40% on its highest peaks. CONCLUSIONS HA/PLGA/DPSC scaffold was an effective in vivo method for mandibular bone regeneration in critical-sized defects induced on rabbit models.

Abstract
The main objective of this research is to demonstrate the biocompatibility of two experimental graphene dental materials by in vitro and in vivo tests for applications in dentistry. The novel graphene dental materials, including one restorative composite and one dental cement, were subjected to cytotoxicity and implantation tests by using a rat model of a non-critical mandibular defect. In vitro cytotoxicity induced by materials on human dental follicle stem cells (restorative composite) and dysplastic oral keratinocytes (dental cement) was investigated at 37 °C for 24 h. After in vivo implantation, at 7 weeks, bone samples were harvested and subjected to histological investigations. The plasma biochemistry, oxidative stress, and sub-chronic organ toxicity analysis were also performed. The resulting cytotoxicity tests confirm that the materials had no toxic effects against dental cells after 24 h. Following graphene dental materials implantation, the animals did not present any symptoms of acute toxicity or local inflammation. No alterations were detected in relative organ weights and in correlation with hepatic and renal histological findings. The materials' lack of systemic organ toxicity was confirmed. The outcomes of our study provided further evidence on the graphene dental materials' ability for bone regeneration and biocompatibility.

3D-printed poly(Ɛ-caprolactone) scaffold with gradient mechanical properties according to force distribution in the mandible for mandibular bone tissue engineering. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2020; 104:103638. [PMID: 32174396 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.103638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
In bone tissue engineering, prediction of forces induced to the native bone during normal functioning is important in the design, fabrication, and integration of a scaffold with the host. The aim of this study was to customize the mechanical properties of a layer-by-layer 3D-printed poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold estimated by finite element (FE) modeling in order to match the requirements of the defect, to prevent mechanical failure, and ensure optimal integration with the surrounding tissue. Forces and torques induced on the mandibular symphysis during jaw opening and closing were predicted by FE modeling. Based on the predicted forces, homogeneous-structured PCL scaffolds with 3 different void sizes (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mm) were designed and 3D-printed using an extrusion based 3D-bioprinter. In addition, 2 gradient-structured scaffolds were designed and 3D-printed. The first gradient scaffold contained 2 regions (0.3 mm and 0.6 mm void size in the upper and lower half, respectively), whereas the second gradient scaffold contained 3 regions (void sizes of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mm in the upper, middle and lower third, respectively). Scaffolds were tested for their compressive and tensile strength in the upper and lower halves. The actual void size of the homogeneous scaffolds with designed void size of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mm was 0.20, 0.59, and 0.95 mm, respectively. FE modeling showed that during opening and closing of the jaw, the highest force induced on the symphysis was a compressive force in the transverse direction. The compressive force was induced throughout the symphyseal line and reduced from top (362.5 N, compressive force) to bottom (107.5 N, tensile force) of the symphysis. Compressive and tensile strength of homogeneous scaffolds decreased by 1.4-fold to 3-fold with increasing scaffold void size. Both gradient scaffolds had higher compressive strength in the upper half (2 region-gradient scaffold: 4.9 MPa; 3 region-gradient scaffold: 4.1 MPa) compared with the lower half (2 region-gradient scaffold: 2.5 MPa; 3 region-gradient scaffold: 2.7 MPa) of the scaffold. 3D-printed PCL scaffolds had higher compressive strength in the scaffold layer-by-layer building direction compared with the side direction, and a very low tensile strength in the scaffold layer-by-layer building direction. Fluid shear stress and fluid pressure distribution in the gradient scaffolds were more homogeneous than in the 0.3 mm void size scaffold and similar to the 0.6 mm and 0.9 mm void size scaffolds. In conclusion, these data show that the mechanical properties of 3D-printed PCL scaffolds can be tailored based on the predicted forces on the mandibular symphysis. These 3D-printed PCL scaffolds had different mechanical properties in scaffold building direction compared with the side direction, which should be taken into account when placing the scaffold in the defect site. Our findings might have implications for improved performance and integration of scaffolds with native tissue.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration is an effective method that can enhance bone volume at a defect site of the mandible before material implantation. Layer-by-layer electrospun membranes of polyurethane/silk fibroin (SF) were fabricated to mimic oral soft tissue. The electrospun polyurethane fibers were initially fabricated into a membrane. Next, the polyurethane layer was covered with electrospun SF fibers at different thicknesses. Then, the SF layer was covered with electrospun polyurethane fibers. Afterward, the morphologies of the membranes were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The physical properties of the membranes were evaluated from the contact angle and mechanical properties. The biological performances were evaluated by observing cell adhesion, viability and proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium content. The results demonstrated that the membrane with a thin SF core showed better physical properties and mechanical performance than the thicker SF cores. Finally, the results deduced that the membrane with a thin SF core was promising for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
At least 26% of recent battlefield injuries are to the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) region. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) is used to treat CMF open fractures, but several complications have been associated with its use. This study tested the efficacy and safety of a lower (30% recommended) dose of rhBMP-2 to treat mandibular fractures. rhBMP-2 delivered via a polyurethane (PUR) and hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (Mastergraft®) scaffold was evaluated in a 2 cm segmental mandibular defect in minipigs. Bone regeneration was analyzed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postsurgery using clinical computed tomography (CT) and rhBMP-2, and inflammatory marker concentrations were analyzed in serum and surgery-site drain effluent. CT scans revealed that pigs treated with PUR-Mastergraft® + rhBMP-2 had complete bone bridging, while the negative control group showed incomplete bone-bridging (n = 6). Volumetric analysis of regenerated bone showed that the PUR-Mastergraft® + rhBMP-2 treatment generated significantly more bone than control by 4 weeks, a trend that continued through 12 weeks. Variations in inflammatory analytes were detected in drain effluent samples and saliva but not in serum, suggesting a localized healing response. Importantly, the rhBMP-2 group did not exhibit an excessive increase in inflammatory analytes compared to control. Treatment with low-dose rhBMP-2 increases bone regeneration capacity in pigs with mandibular continuity defects and restores bone quality. Negative complications from rhBMP-2, such as excessive inflammatory analyte levels, were not observed. Together, these results suggest that treatment with low-dose rhBMP-2 is efficacious and may improve safety when treating CMF open fractures. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Critical size defects in the craniofacial region can be effectively treated using three dimensional (3D) composite structures mimicking natural extra cellular matrix (ECM) and incorporated with bioactive ceramics. In this study we have shown that the dynamic liquid bath collector can be used to form electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)-hydroxyapatite (HA) composite structure as unique 3D scaffold. The structure was found to have three distinct sections (base, stem and head) based on the mechanism of its formation and morphology. The size of the head portion was around 15 mm and was found to vary with the process parameters. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the base had random fibres while the fibres in stem and head sections were aligned but perpendicular to each other. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis also showed an increase in the crystallinity index of the fibres from base to head section. Cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility studies using human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells showed good cell adhesion and proliferation indicating the suitability of the 3D structure for craniofacial graft applications.
