[PMID: 34040955 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2021.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 02/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique of new bone formation between the osteotomized bone segments with the help of gradual incremental traction. As distraction osteogenesis is slow biologic process, soft tissue changes gradually follow the new bone formation. Mandibular distraction is one of the accepted modalities to treat the triad of TMJ ankylosis, obstructive sleep apnoea & micrognathia and also for facial asymmetry cases like hemifacial microsomia, mandibular hypoplasia etc. After the distraction osteogenesis, some relapse has been noticed in patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the quality of the newly formed bone after distraction osteogenesis of mandible using 3 dimensional computed tomography (3DCT Scan) to evaluate its relation with relapse if any. Objectives 1) To objectively analyse the quality of bone formed after mandibular distraction osteogenesis.2) To observe the site & architecture of newly formed bone after distraction is complete. Material and methods Total 5 patients of facial asymmetry reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were enrolled. Distraction osteogenesis of mandible was carried out in all the patients. Radiographic analysis (CT Scan) was done after 1 year of surgery for further planning and management of deformity. The non-distracted site was considered as a control side and it was compared with newly formed bone at distraction site. The standard & universally accepted radio density measuring Hounsfield Unit (HU) in 3DCT scan was calculated in axial,coronal, sagittal sections from distraction site and it was compared with non-distraction site, as Hounsfield unit is considered as a standard tool for measuring the bone density to evaluate the quality as well as quantity of newly formed bone. Results The total mean Hounsfield Unit of distracted site of all three sections was 359.8 HU and non-distracted site was 545.2 HU. Statistical analysis was carried out using students paired ttest and p value was obtained which was <0.01 suggestive of statistically significant difference between the quality of bone in distracted site and non-distracted site. Conclusion The findings of our study concluded that the quality of bone formed after distraction osteogenesis was satisfactory but it was less mineralized with less dense trabecular pattern compared to non-distracted bone region of mandible which leads to some relapse. Therefore it was advisable to reinforce the distracted bone segment by cutting the activation arm of distractor itself or mini plate or reconstruction plate to prevent relapse.

Comprehensive In Vitro Testing of Calcium Phosphate-Based Bioceramics with Orthopedic and Dentistry Applications. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12223704.

Abstract
Recently, a large spectrum of biomaterials emerged, with emphasis on various pure, blended, or doped calcium phosphates (CaPs). Although basic cytocompatibility testing protocols are referred by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 10993 (parts 1-22), rigorous in vitro testing using cutting-edge technologies should be carried out in order to fully understand the behavior of various biomaterials (whether in bulk or low-dimensional object form) and to better gauge their outcome when implanted. In this review, current molecular techniques are assessed for the in-depth characterization of angiogenic potential, osteogenic capability, and the modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation properties of CaPs and their cation- and/or anion-substituted derivatives. Using such techniques, mechanisms of action of these compounds can be deciphered, highlighting the signaling pathway activation, cross-talk, and modulation by microRNA expression, which in turn can safely pave the road toward a better filtering of the truly functional, application-ready innovative therapeutic bioceramic-based solutions.

Significant Differences in the Bone of an Isogenic Inbred Versus Nonisogenic Outbred Murine Mandible: A Study in Rigor and Reproducibility. J Craniofac Surg 2017; 28:915-919.

Abstract
Inattention to differences between animal strains is a potential cause of irreproducibility of basic science investigations. Accordingly, the authors' laboratory sought to ensure that cross-comparisons of results generated from studies of mandibular physiology utilizing the Sprague Dawley and Lewis rat strains are valid. The authors specifically investigated baseline histomorphometrics, bone mineral density, and biomechanical strength of the unaltered endogenous mandibles of the inbred, isogenic Lewis rat, and the outbred, nonisogenic Sprague Dawley rat to determine if they are indeed equal. The authors hypothesized that little difference would be found within these metrics.The authors' study utilized 20 male Lewis and Sprague Dawley rats, which underwent no manipulation other than final dissection and analysis. Ten rats from each strain underwent bone mineral density and biomechanical strength analysis. The remaining rats underwent histological analysis. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the P value was set at 0.05.Lewis rats had a significantly greater number of empty lacunae. Sprague Dawley rats exhibited a significantly greater ratio of bone volume-to-total volume, bone mineral density, tissue mineral density, bone volume fraction, and total mineral content. No differences were found during biomechanical testing.This study demonstrates that differences exist between the Lewis and Sprague Dawley rat within unaltered baseline mandibular tissue. However, these differences appear to have limited functional impact, as demonstrated by similar biomechanical strength metrics. Other specific differences not addressed in this manuscript may exist. However, the authors believe that researchers may confidently cross-compare results between the 2 strains, while taking into account the differences found within this study.
