Abstract
Hydrogels have been widely used in bone tissue engineering due to their tunable characteristics that allow facile modifications with various biochemical properties to support cell growth and guide proper cell functions. Herein, we report a design of hydrogel-siRNA conjugate that facilitates osteogenesis via gene silencing and activation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. A sulfonate hydrogel is prepared by modifying chitosan with sulfoacetic acid to mimic a natural sulfated polysaccharide and to provide a hydrogel surface that enables BMP binding. Then, siRNA targeting noggin, an endogenous extracellular antagonist of BMP signaling, is covalently conjugated to the sulfonate hydrogel by visible blue light crosslinking. The sulfonate hydrogel-siRNA conjugate is efficient to bind BMPs and also successfully prolongs the release of siRNA for sustained noggin suppression, thereby resulting in significantly increased osteogenic differentiation. Lastly, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is incorporated into the sulfonate hydrogel-siRNA conjugate, wherein the DBM incorporation induces noggin expression via a negative feedback mechanism that regulates BMP signaling in DBM. However, simultaneous delivery of siRNA downregulates noggin thus facilitating endogenous BMP activity and enhancing the osteogenic efficacy of DBM. These findings support a promising hydrogel RNA silencing platform for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM), a potential alternative to autologous bone-graft, has been increasingly used for clinical bone repair; however, its application in larger defects isn't successful partly due to the rapid dispersion of DBM particles and relatively lower osteoinductivity. Here, a novel strategy is created to complement the osteoinductivity of DBM by incorporating DBM in biopolymer hydrogel combined with the abrogation of BMP antagonism. Combined treatment of DBM + noggin-suppression displays increased osteogenic potency of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in vitro. Injectable chitosan (MeGC)-based hydrogel with heparinization (Hep-MeGC) is further developed to localize and stabilize DBM. Noggin-suppression reveals the significant increase in osteogenesis of hBMSCs in the photopolymerizable Hep-MeGC hydrogels with the encapsulation of DBM. Moreover, the combination of DBM + noggin-suppression in the injectable Hep-MeGC hydrogel displays a robust bone healing in mouse critical-sized calvarial defects in vivo. The mechanistic analysis demonstrates that noggin-suppression increased DBM osteoinductivity by stimulating endogenous BMP/Smad signals. These results have shown promise in DBM's ability as a prominent bone grafting material while being coupled with gene editing mechanism and a localizing three-dimensional scaffold. Together, this approach poses a significant increase in the efficiency of DBM-mediated craniofacial bone repair and dental osteointegration.

Abstract
Background Demineralized bone matrix (DBM), an allograft bone processed to better expose osteoinductive factors such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), is increasingly used for clinical bone repair. However, more extensive use of DBM is limited by its unpredictable osteoinductivity and low bone formation capacity. Commercial DBM products often employ polymeric carriers to enhance handling properties but such carriers generally do not possess bioactive functions. Heparin is a highly sulfated polysaccharide and is shown to form a stable complex with growth factors to enhance their bioactivities. In this study, a new heparinized synthetic carrier for DBM is developed based on photocrosslinking of methacrylated glycol chitosan and heparin conjugation. Results Heparinized chitosan exerts protective effects on BMP bioactivity against physiological stressors related to bone fracture healing. It also enhances the potency of BMPs by inhibiting the activity of BMP antagonist, noggin. Moreover, heparinized chitosan is effective to deliver bone marrow stromal cells and DBM for enhanced osteogenesis by sequestering and localizing the cell-produced or DBM-released BMPs. Conclusions This research suggests an essential approach of developing a new hydrogel carrier to stabilize the bioactivity of BMPs and improve the clinical efficacy of current bone graft therapeutics for accelerated bone repair.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on bone healing in patients undergoing bilateral sinus lifting and simultaneous dental implant application. Methods Twelve patients with total/partial posterior maxillary edentulism who needed bilateral sinus bone augmentation were included in the study. Dental implants were inserted in the same session. LLLT (λ = 630-660 nm, 25 mW/cm2, 6 min) was used for one operation side on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days, whereas contralateral side served as control side. Preoperative and postoperative 1st, 3rd, and 6th month orthopantomograms were obtained using the aluminum step-wedge technique. Optic density analyses were performed using a Cardinal Health Digital Densitometer (Fluke Biomedical 07-443) with 1 mm diameter. Digital densitometry results were obtained as the equivalent aluminum thickness for each radiograph. These data were used to evaluate the changes in optical bone density and to compare the treatment side with the control side for each patient. Results The LLLT side showed better results than the control side according to the densitometry results. Increase in the bone density at all the postoperative intervals was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions LLLT enhances bone regeneration in sinus augmentation with simultaneous dental implant placement.

Abstract
Background: Bone regeneration is a reliable technique when the bone volume is insufficient to provide a functional and aesthetic outcome in surgery and implantoprosthesis procedures. When bone blocks are used but do not match the shape of the defect, the block must be adapted. The aim of our research was to evaluate, by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) morphological observation, how different cutting devices modify the bone surface. Method: Four equine bone blocks were divided into 15 cubic shape samples with ultrasonic and sonic tips, as well as diamond, tungsten carbide, and Lindemann burs. The uncut surface of the obtained bone block was used as a control. Two observers independently analyzed the SEM observation recording, including cut precision, depth of incision, thermal damages, and presence of bone debris. For each group, sharpness, depth, carbonization, and bone debris were expressed as mean values. Results: The osteotomy performed with an ultrasonic tip shows the best results, preserving the bone morphology in both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The bone surface appeared sufficiently clean from debris and showed a reduced presence of carbonization. Conclusion: The shaping of the bone block as in vivo osteotomy respects the bone morphology and allows it to achieve the relevant biological and clinical outcome.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT The development of autograft extenders is a significant clinical need in bone tissue engineering. We report new settable poly(thioketal urethane)-based autograft extenders that have bone-like mechanical properties and handling properties comparable to calcium phosphate bone cements. These settable autograft extenders remodeled to form new bone in a biologically stringent intertransverse process model of bone formation that does not heal when treated with calcium phosphate bone void fillers or cements alone. This is the first study to report settable autograft extenders with bone-like strength and handling properties comparable to ceramic bone cements, which have the potential to improve treatment of bone fractures and other orthopedic conditions.

Abstract
The purpose of this animal study is to evaluate, by histomorphometric analysis, bone regeneration in rabbit's maxillary sinuses with blood clots alone, Bio-Oss, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and demineralized tooth dentin (DTD) grafting. Bilateral sinus augmentation procedures were performed in 18 adult male rabbits. Rectangular replaceable bony windows were made with a piezoelectric thin saw insert. In the group 1, blood clots were filled; group 2, anorganic bovine graft (Bio-Oss) was grafted; group 3, β-TCP was grafted; group 4, DTD was grafted, and covered by replaceable bony windows. Animals were sacrificed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after surgical procedure. The augmented sinuses were evaluated by histomorphometric analysis using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome stains. Histologically, new bone formation was revealed along the elevated sinus membrane and all graft materials. The new bone area of the group 2 was significantly greater than the group 1, and of the group 3 was significantly greater than the group 2, and of the group 4 was significantly greater than the group 3 at 8 weeks with P<0.05. The bone marrow area of group 1 was significantly greater than other groups at 8 weeks. The DTD area was significantly lesser than Bio-Oss or β-TCP particles area at 8 weeks. This present study suggests that DTD can be effective graft materials for bone regeneration of the maxillary sinus augmentation.

Abstract
Introduction The use of equine bone blocks is widely reported for bone augmentation techniques. The block must be shaped according to the form of the defect that should be regenerated. The shaping could be performed by hand before or during the surgery, in a sterile ambient, or using a CNC milling machine that could not be sterile. The aim of our study was to evaluate if a steam sterilization could provide a medical grade sterilization of the blocks and to evaluate if bone microstructure and collagen structures change after different steam sterilization protocols provided by mainstream autoclave. Materials and Method Two blocks of equine bone were divided into 16 samples. 1 sample was used as control and not submitted to any treatment. 15 samples were infected with a Streptococcus faecalis bacterial culture. The samples were singularly packed, randomly divided into 3 groups, and submitted to autoclave sterilization on the same device. The groups were submitted to a sterilization cycle (Gr. A: 121°C, 1,16 bar for 20'; Gr. B:134°C, 2,16 bar for 4'; Gr. C: 134°C, 2,16 bar for 3.30 min.). 2 samples for each group were evaluated for the sterility. 3 samples for each group were observed at SEM to notice the macro- and microstructure modification and to confocal microscope to observe the collagen. Results All samples were sterile. The SEM evaluation showed, in all groups, a preserved morphological structure. Confocal microscope evaluation shows that the collagen structure appears to be more uniform and preserved in group C. Conclusion Data show that autoclave steam sterilization could be reliable to obtain sterilization of equine bone blocks.

Abstract
AIMS Demineralised bone matrix (DBM) is rarely used for the local delivery of prophylactic antibiotics. Our aim, in this study, was to show that a graft with a bioactive glass and DBM combination, which is currently available for clinical use, can be loaded with tobramycin and release levels of antibiotic greater than the minimum inhibitory concentration for Staphylococcus aureus without interfering with the bone healing properties of the graft, thus protecting the graft and surrounding tissues from infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antibiotic was loaded into a graft and subsequently evaluated for drug elution kinetics and the inhibition of bacterial growth. A rat femoral condylar plug model was used to determine the effect of the graft, loaded with antibiotic, on bone healing. RESULTS We found that tobramycin loaded into a graft composed of bioglass and DBM eluted antibiotic above the minimum inhibitory concentration for three days in vitro. It was also found that the antibiotic loaded into the graft produced no adverse effects on the bone healing properties of the DBM at a lower level of antibiotic. CONCLUSION This antibiotic-loaded bone void filler may represent a promising option for the delivery of local antibiotics in orthopaedic surgery. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1126-31.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the effects of onlay-type grafted human freeze-dried corticocancellous bone block (FDBB) and deproteinized bovine bone with collagen (DBBC) loaded with Escherichia coli-produced recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (ErhBMP-2) on space maintenance and new bone formation in rat calvaria. Collagen sponge (CS), FDBB, or DBBC disks (8×4 mm) with ErhBMP-2 (2.5 μg) were implanted onto the calvaria of male Sprague-Dawley rats, whereas CS with buffer was implanted onto the calvaria as controls (n=20/carrier). Rats were killed at 2 or 8 weeks post-surgery for histologic and histomorphometric analyses; total augmented area, new bone area, and bone density were evaluated. At both time-points, all ErhBMP-2 groups showed significantly higher new bone area and bone density than the control group (p<0.05). ErhBMP-2/FDBB and ErhBMP-2/DBBC groups showed significantly higher total augmented area than ErhBMP-2/CS group (8 weeks), and ErhBMP-2/FDBB group showed significantly higher new bone area and bone density than ErhBMP-2/DBBC group (p<0.05). ErhBMP-2/CS group showed the highest bone density (p<0.05). Combining ErhBMP-2 with FDBB or DBBC could significantly improve onlay graft outcomes, by new bone formation and bone density increase. Moreover, onlay-grafted FDBB and DBBC with ErhBMP-2 could be an alternative to autogenous block onlay bone graft.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of human freeze-dried bone block (FDBB) and deproteinized bovine bone with collagen (DBBC) on bone formation when applied as an onlay graft in rat calvariums. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats received collagen sponge (control), FDBB, or DBBC onlay grafts trimmed into 8-mm disks measuring 4-mm height. Each graft was secured onto the calvarium surface using horizontal mattress sutures. Rats in each group were killed at 2 (n=5) or 8 (n=5) weeks postoperatively for histologic and histomorphometric analysis. The total augmented area (mm2), new bone area (mm2), and bone density (%) were measured. The FDBB and DBBC groups showed significantly more new bone formation and bone density than the control group at 2 and 8 weeks. The increased new bone area was significantly greater in the FDBB group than in the DBBC group (p<0.05). The total augmented area was significantly higher in the FDBB and DBBC groups at 2 and 8 weeks than in the control group (p<0.05), and at 8 weeks, the area was significantly decreased in the DBBC group compared to that in the FDBB group and the area at 2 weeks (p<0.05). Within the limitations of the present study, we concluded that onlay FDBB and DBBC grafts caused new bone formation through an osteoconductive mechanism. In addition, compared to FDBB, DBBC had less capacity to form new bone and maintain the space.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although human acellular nerve allograft is a promising nerve repair tool, optimizing graft application and understanding effective graft dimensions has been hampered by lack of an appropriate animal model. Rodent nerve acellular allograft can be tested in the utilitarian rodent nerve repair model, but testing different size options is limited by the size of the rodent donor animal. Human acellular nerve allograft offers the variety of sizes desired for more complete study but poses a high risk of rejection as xenograft tissue in the rodent model. Athymic nude rats are less prone to reject xenograft tissue due to their immunocompromised state and may offer an animal model for testing human acellular allograft. METHODS Fifteen athymic nude and 15 Sprague-Dawley rats underwent unilateral excision and repair of a 10mm tibial nerve segment using 10mm of human acellular nerve graft. Testing at 3 months consisted of muscle force measurements, wet muscle weight, and histological assessment from the middle of the nerve grafts. RESULTS Athymic rats repaired with human acellular xenograft demonstrated higher reinnervated muscle weight Gross inspection of the xenograft in euthymic rats revealed a brown and scarred center and histological inspection demonstrated larger axon diameters, and higher midgraft axon counts in the grafts of athymic rats. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS The athymic rat has been used in many studies that require an immunocompromised host, including implantation of foreign nervous tissue. Previous attempts at implanting acellular nerve xenograft into immunocompetent rats have yielded suboptimal results when compared to allograft. This study is the first to test acellular human nerve allograft in an athymic rat. CONCLUSION The nerve regeneration was better in human acellular nerve allograft implanted into immunocompromised athymic rats when compared to euthymic rats supporting a potential role of this model in studying acellular human nerve tissue.

Abstract
We compared the bone healing capacity of three different demineralized bone matrix (DBM) products applied using different carrier molecules (hyaluronic acid [HA] vs. carboxymethylcellulose [CMC]) or bone compositions (cortical bone vs. cortical bone and cancellous bone) in a rabbit segmental defect model. Overall, 15-mm segmental defects in the left and right radiuses were created in 36 New Zealand White rabbits and filled with HA-based demineralized cortical bone matrix (DBX), CMC-based demineralized cortical bone matrix (DB) or CMC-based demineralized cortical bone with cancellous bone (NDDB), and the wound area was evaluated at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-implantation. DBX showed significantly lower radiopacity, bone volume fraction, and bone mineral density than DB and NDDB before implantation. However, bone healing score, bone volume fraction, bone mineral density, and residual bone area at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-implantation revealed no significant differences in bone healing capacity. Overall, three DBM products with different carrier molecules or bone compositions showed similar bone healing capacity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the periodontal regenerative capacity of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) alone or used with local lincomycin. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present single-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial, 20 subjects 26 years old or older, requiring extraction of bilateral third molars (M3s), were included. Each subject was randomly assigned to receive either DFDBA or DFDBA plus lincomycin therapy. Within the subjects, 1 M3 site was randomly selected to be the experimental site and the contralateral served as the control and was permitted to heal without intervention. The primary variables were changes in the probing depth (PD), clinical alveolar bone levels (ABLs), and radiographic alveolar bone density (ABD) on the distal aspect of second molar between baseline (immediately postoperatively) and 26 weeks postoperatively (T26). Appropriate sample sizes and descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate statistics were computed. RESULTS For both treatment and control sites, between T0 and T26, statistically significant improvements were seen in the ABLs and ABD (P < .05). Within-subject comparisons showed no significant differences in PD, ABL, or ABD between the treatment and control M3 sites at T0 or T26 (P > .05). Also, no significant differences were found in the PD, ABL, or ABD between the 2 treatment M3 sites at T26 (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study have revealed that the PD, ABL, and ABD improved after M3 removal in subjects 26 years old or older, irrespective of the treatment or control group. Reconstructive procedures (e.g., DFDBA with or without lincomycin therapy) did not offer predictable benefits compared with a no-treatment protocol in patients younger than 30 years old.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthodontic procedures are often limited by the presence of bone defects caused by trauma, periodontal diseases or surgeries, thus requiring the development of materials capable to compensate such deficiencies. Since bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are indicative of bone reconstitution, this study aimed to evaluate histological and immunohistochemically the temporal location of BMP-2 and BMP-4 in osteoblasts of rat alveolar wounds filled with demineralized human dentine matrix (DHDM), used as a graft material. METHODS After extraction of the upper second molars, the left side alveoli were filled with DHDM and the right side served as the control. The animals were euthanized after 3, 5, 10 and 14 days of surgery. After fixation, demineralization and paraffin embedding, representative samples of each group were stained with H&E and immunohistochemically evaluated. RESULTS The data showed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) increased number of osteoblasts positively immunostained for BMP-2 and BMP-4 on the experimental side (left) at 10 days. Our results also showed that even when not degraded, dentine matrix was incorporated to new bone formation after 14 days of surgery. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that DHDM acts as a scaffold for osteoblast differentiation, actively yielding new bone formation, and it may represent an effective bone implant material.

Abstract
Animal models that are reliably reproducible, appropriate analogs to the clinical condition they are used to investigate, and that offer minimal morbidity and periprocedural mortality to the subject, are the keystone to the preclinical development of translational technologies. For bone tissue engineering, a number of small animal models exist. Here we describe the protocol for one such model, the rat calvarial defect. This versatile model allows for evaluation of biomaterials and bone tissue engineering approaches within a reproducible, non-load-bearing orthotopic site. Crucial steps for ensuring appropriate experimental control and troubleshooting tips learned through extensive experience with this model are provided. The surgical procedure itself takes ∼30 min to complete, with ∼2 h of perioperative care, and tissue collection is generally performed 4-12 weeks postoperatively. Several analytical techniques are presented, which evaluate the cellular and extracellular matrix components, functionality and mineralization, including histological, mechanical and radiographic methods.

Abstract
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is an osteoconductive and osteoinductive commercial biomaterial and approved medical device used in bone defects with a long track record of clinical use in diverse forms. True to its name and as an acid-extracted organic matrix from human bone sources, DBM retains much of the proteinaceous components native to bone, with small amounts of calcium-based solids, inorganic phosphates and some trace cell debris. Many of DBM's proteinaceous components (e.g., growth factors) are known to be potent osteogenic agents. Commercially sourced as putty, paste, sheets and flexible pieces, DBM provides a degradable matrix facilitating endogenous release of these compounds to the bone wound sites where it is surgically placed to fill bone defects, inducing new bone formation and accelerating healing. Given DBM's long clinical track record and commercial accessibility in standard forms and sources, opportunities to further develop and validate DBM as a versatile bone biomaterial in orthopedic repair and regenerative medicine contexts are attractive.

Abstract
Currently, in oral and maxillofacial surgery, there is a clinical need for efficient bone grafting materials, and various efforts are being made to improve materials used as bone substitutes to facilitate faster and denser bone regeneration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vivo the osteogenic potential of synthetic β-tricalcium phosphate in a hydroxyl sulphate matrix (β-TCP/HS) and human demineralized bone matrix (DBM) putty. Sixteen New Zealand White rabbits were used. In each animal, two bone defects (8 mm length × 3 mm width × 3 mm depth) were created in the left and right regions of the mandible, respectively. The defect on one side, chosen randomly, was filled with β-TCP/HS (group A) or DBM putty (group B), while the defect on the opposite side was left unfilled in order to serve as a control site. Two animals in each group were sacrificed at the end of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th week after surgery, respectively, and the osteotomy sites were processed for histological evaluation. Our findings confirmed that β-TCP/HS and human DBM putty possess osteogenic activity and can support new bone formation, although at a slower rate than the spontaneous healing response, in rabbit mandibular osseous defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small intestinal submucosa was evaluated as a bioscaffold candidate for periosteum-derived osteoblasts, and its suitability as a bone replacement material for cranial defects was investigated. METHODS In the in vitro phase, osteoblasts were expanded in osteogenic medium and were then seeded onto small intestinal submucosa. To confirm osteoblast phenotype, they were tested for alkaline phosphatase, collagen type 1, and calcium expression. In the in vivo phase, calvarial critical-sized defects were created in 35 rats. The defects were either left untreated for surgical control (group 1), treated with small intestinal submucosa alone (group 2), treated with an osteoblast-embedded construct (group 3), or treated with an autogenous bone graft (group 4). The results were evaluated 12 weeks after surgery with radiopacity measurements and with stereologic analysis. RESULTS Periosteal cells grew successfully in vitro. The percentage radiopaque area at the defect was measured to be 42, 74, 76, and 89 percent for groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The pixel intensity of the same site was 36.4, 48.1, 47.5, and 54.5 for the same groups, respectively. Tissue-engineered constructs did not achieve enough bone formation and calcification to be effective as autogenous bone grafts and were not superior to the small intestinal submucosa alone. However, both small intestinal submucosa and cell-seeded small intestinal submucosa showed significantly more bone formation compared with the untreated group. CONCLUSIONS Although it was demonstrated that the small intestinal submucosa itself has osteogenic properties, it was not significantly increased by adding periosteum-derived osteoblasts to it. The osteogenic properties of small intestinal submucosa are promising, and its role as a scaffold should be investigated further.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in ossification of the 2 forms of demineralized bone matrix (DBM)-putty and powder-radiographically, using digital densitometry on panoramic radiographs in maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures. Twelve subjects needing bilateral maxillary sinus floor augmentation for the placement of osseointegrated implants were included in this study. The left and right maxillary sinuses were augmented in the same session in each patient using the 2 preferred forms of DBM-putty and powder-during the same session. One sinus was augmented with DBM putty form and the other sinus was augmented with DBM powder form randomly. Every patient had a total of 4 panoramic radiographs taken, preoperatively and in the first, third, and sixth month postoperatively. The densitometry measurements were taken from each step of the aluminium step-wedge, from both sinuses from different points a total of 3 times, and the average of these measurements was calculated. The amount of mineralization in each graft material in every radiograph was clarified by the appearance of a difference in the equivalent aluminium thickness, and the obtained results were statistically evaluated. The results showed that there were no significant differences between two graft materials statistically. These two graft materials could be good alternatives in sinus lifting procedures because of less morbidity, lower price, and good ossification. The results indicate that 2 different types of DBM achieved good ossification in the sinus lifting procedure, and there is not a considerable distinction in these 2 forms.

Abstract
A three-layered nano-carbonated hydroxyapatite/collagen/poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (nCHAC/PLGA) composite membrane that consisted of 8 wt% nCHAC + PLGA/4 wt%nCHAC + PLGA/PLGA was developed using a layer-by-layer casting. The human periodontal ligament and osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the three-layered composite membrane; the co-culture gave a more positive response than the pure PLGA membrane. Subsequently, the composite and pure PLGA membranes were implanted into critical 6.2 mm defects in rat crania. After 4 weeks, significant healing was observed in the defects implanted with the nCHAC/PLGA composite membrane, while similar healing was only observed with pure PLGA implants after 8 weeks. This novel composite appears to be a very promising candidate for periodontal and bone defects therapy.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to determine the effects of composite formulation on the compressive modulus and ultimate strength of a biodegradable, in situ polymerizable poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) and bone fiber scaffold. The following parameters were investigated: the incorporation of bone fibers (either mineralized or demineralized), PPF molecular weight, N-vinyl pyrrolidinone (NVP) crosslinker amount, benzoyl peroxide (BP) initiator amount, and sodium chloride porogen amount. Eight formulations were chosen based on a resolution III two level fractional factorial design. The compressive modulus and ultimate strength of these formulations were measured on a materials testing machine. Absolute values for compressive modulus varied from 21.3 to 271 MPa and 2.8 to 358 MPa for dry and wet samples, respectively. The ultimate strength of the crosslinked composites varied from 2.1 to 20.3 MPa for dry samples and from 0.4 to 16.6 MPa for wet samples. Main effects of each parameter on the measured property were calculated. The incorporation of mineralized bone fibers and an increase in PPF molecular weight resulted in higher compressive modulus and ultimate strength. Both mechanical properties also increased as the amount of benzoyl peroxide increased or the NVP amount decreased in the formulation. Sodium chloride had a dominating effect on the increase of mechanical properties in dry samples but showed little effects in wet samples. Demineralization of bone fibers led to a decrease in the compressive modulus and ultimate strength. Our results suggest that bone fibers are appropriate as structural enforcement components in PPF scaffolds. The desired orthopaedic PPF scaffold might be obtained by changing a variety of composite formulation parameters.

Abstract
The use of bone grafts is an essential component in spinal fusion. Autologous bone has been shown to result in long-term stable arthrodesis between spinal motion segments. However, autograft can be associated with significant morbidity and a limited supply. Alternatives, such as allogeneic demineralized bone matrix (DBM), are a potential source and supplement to autograft bone. The current study compares the ability of a DBM product (BioSet® RT) and a coralline hydroxyapatite (Pro Osteon® 500R), for inducing spinal fusion in a rabbit model. BioSet® RT, alone or in combination with autograft, and Pro Osteon® 500R were implanted in the posterior lateral inter-transverse process region of the rabbit spine. The spines were evaluated at 18 weeks for fusion of the L4—L5 transverse processes using a total of 33 skeletally mature male rabbits; 4 naïve animals were also included in the study. Samples were evaluated radiographically, histologically, by palpation, and through mechanical strength testing. Radiographical, histological, and palpation measurements demonstrated the ability of BioSet® RT to induce new bone formation and bridging fusion comparable to autograft. This material performed well alone or in combination with autograft material. Despite significantly higher biomechanical testing results, minimal bone formation and fusion was recorded for the Pro Osteon® 500R-treated group. This in vivo study demonstrates the ability of BioSet®RT to induce new bone formation, and there was a clear relationship between bridging bone and mechanical strength.

[PMID: 17996496 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2007.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2007] [Revised: 06/10/2007] [Accepted: 06/20/2007] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The safety of allograft material has come under scrutiny because of recent reports of allograft-associated bacterial and viral infections in tissue recipients. Gamma irradiation, although being one of the most effective ways of terminal sterilization, has been shown to affect the biomechanical properties of allograft bone. It may also have detrimental effects on the osteoinductivity of allograft material such as demineralized bone matrix (DBM) by the denaturation of proteins because of heat generated by irradiation. Sterilization of DBM material is an important variable in processing graft materials. This is considered to be one of the factors leading to different fusion rates observed with different commercially available DBM products, as the sterilization procedure itself may affect the osteoinductivity of the material. Currently, there is no ideal sterilization technique that limits the detrimental effect on osteoinductivity and fusion rates. PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of a range of hydrogen peroxide exposures with or without the controlled high-dose gamma irradiation after processing with radioprotectant solutions (Clearant radiation sterilization procedure) on the fusion rates of human DBM. STUDY DESIGN A prospective in vivo animal study. METHODS Eighty mature athymic nude female rats were used for this study, which formed 10 equal groups. Human DBM exposed to hydrogen peroxide for different time periods (0, 1, 6, and 24 hours) was divided into two major subgroups. One group was further treated with controlled high-dose radiation using radioprotectants (radiation treated), whereas the other group was frozen immediately without specific treatment (non-radiation treated). Both radiation-treated and non-radiation-treated DBM material from each group of hydrogen peroxide exposure times were implanted between L4 and L5 transverse processes of the rats forming eight test groups including eight animals in each. The remaining 16 rats were divided into two additional groups to form negative (only decortication, n=8) and positive (bone morphogenetic protein [BMP]-2, n=8) control groups. The rats were evaluated for fusion by radiographs (2, 4, and 8 weeks), manual palpation (8 weeks), and histological analysis after sacrificing. Comparison of fusion rate among all groups was made using these three evaluation methods. RESULTS Increasing the time period of hydrogen peroxide (0, 1, 6, or 24 hours) exposure for preparation of DBM from bone allograft did not affect the fusion rates significantly (p<.05), although there was a trend toward decreasing fusion rates with longer exposure times. When the hydrogen peroxide washed DBM preparations were also radiation treated, the resulting fusion rates were again not significantly different (p<.05). Agreement among fusion detection methods was found to be high. CONCLUSIONS Hydrogen peroxide processing was not detrimental to fusion rates. The additional terminal sterilization technique with special gamma irradiation protocols (Clearant process) also did not decrease the fusion rates but could provide an additional margin of safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the healing patterns of critical size calvarial bony defects treated with different bone substitutes and to compare them to an autogenous graft and an ungrafted control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats (200-230 g) were used. A periosteal flap was raised and an 8 mm defect was trephined. Rats were divided into six groups and treated as follows: group 1 was treated with a deproteinized bovine xenograft (XO), group 2 was treated with a bovine xenograft and covered with a resorbable membrane (XOCM), defects in group 3 were filled with a decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), group 4 was treated with a composite bone substitute made of bovine xenograft and collagen (XOC), group 5 was filled with autogenous bone (AUTO), and group 6 was left untreated (control). The animals were euthanized at 2 months. RESULTS Mean bone formation was 2.97 +/- 1.82 mm2 in group 5 (AUTO) followed by 2.93 +/- 1.93 mm2 in group 3 (DFDBA) and 2.25 +/- 1.94 mm2 in group 4 (XOC). Groups 1, 2, and 6 (XO, XOCM, and control, respectively) were not significantly different (p > 0.05) with a mean bone formation of 1.97 +/- 1.64, 1.87 +/- 1.07, and 1.85 +/- 1.04 mm2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This work confirmed the superiority of autogenous bone when it comes to bone grafting. Nevertheless, some bone substitutes can improve bone formation when compared to the control. New bone substitutes with growth factors to improve their abilities to induce bone formation should be experimented.

Abstract
Demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB) in matrix form must be rehydrated with a carrier medium which allows for easy manipulation during periodontal surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how human DFDB suspended in a polyol matrix affects new bone formation in the rat calvarium critical-sized defect (CSD) model. Fifty-five adult male Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups: polyol, 100% DFDB, 47% DFDB/polyol, 47% DFDB, or an unfilled control. They were then placed into 8-m calvarial CSDs. The bone donor source company for the DFDB and DFDB/polyol groups was the same. Calvaria were harvested 10 weeks after surgery and evaluated histomorphometrically. The diameter of bone particles from the 3 groups containing DFDB was measured by scanning electron microscopy. There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of bone fill between any of the groups, although the 100% DFDB group exhibited the most bone fill. The 47% DFDB/polyol and 47% DFDB groups had similar amounts of bone formation. The average size of the demineralized bone particles from the 100% DFDB group was significantly smaller than that of the other 2 groups containing DFDB. Adding a polyol to DFDB produced similar osseous regeneration in the rat calvarium defect model vs DFDB alone. Yet from a clinical standpoint, the polyol enhanced graft handling and stability. Graft particle size may have an effect on bone fill.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of calcitonin in promoting bone growth in surgical bone defects in rat mandibles. Fifty male rats were divided into two groups: bone defect (control) and bone defect with calcitonin (experimental). A circular bone defect 4mm in diameter was made in the mandibular bone of the rats in the angle region, and covered with a polytetrafluoroethylene barrier. The experimental group received 2 IU/kg of synthetic salmon calcitonin intramuscularly three times a week, with treatment starting immediately after surgery. The animals were killed 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the surgical procedure. The bone defects were examined histologically and by histomorphometric analysis. The Student t-test was applied to the histomorphometric data, with the level of significance set at 5%. The animals of the experimental group showed a lower level of bone formation at almost all time points than the control group, but no difference between groups was observed 28 days after surgery. The volume of newly formed bone matrix was significantly greater in the control than the experimental group at 7, 14 and 21 days, as determined by both morphologic and histomorphometric analysis. Bone repair in the calcitonin-treated animals was delayed in comparison to controls, indicating the need for further studies on male rats.

Abstract
In an effort to augment the available grafting material as well as to increase spinal fusion rates, the utilization of a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as a graft extender or replacement is common. There are several commercially available DBM substances available for use in spinal surgery, each with different amounts of DBM containing osteoinductive proteins. Each product may have different osteoinductivity potential due to different methods of preparation, storage, and donor specifications. The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare the osteoinductive potential of three different commercially available DBM substances in an athymic rodent spinal fusion model and to discuss the reasons of the variability in osteoinductivity. A posterolateral fusion was performed in 72 mature athymic nude female rats. Three groups of 18 rats were implanted with 1 of 3 DBMs (Osteofil, Grafton, and Dynagraft). A fourth group was implanted with rodent autogenous iliac crest bone graft. The rats were sacrificed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. A dose of 0.3 cm(3) per side (0.6 cm(3)per animal) was used for each substance. Radiographs were taken at 2 weeks intervals until sacrifice. Fusion was determined by radiographs, manual palpation, and histological analysis. The Osteofil substance had the highest overall fusion rate (14/18), and the highest early 4 weeks fusion rate of (4/5). Grafton produced slightly lower fusion rates of (11/17) overall, and lower early 4 weeks fusion rate of (2/5). There was no statistically significant difference between the rate of fusion after implantation of Osteofil and Grafton. None of the sites implanted with Dynagraft fused at any time point (0/17), and there was a significantly lower fusion rate between the Dynagraft and the other two substances at the six-week-time point and for final fusion rate (P = 0.0001, Fischer's exact test). None of the autogenous iliac crest animals fused at any time point. Non-decalcified histology confirmed the presence of a pseudarthrosis or the presence of a solid fusion, and the results were highly correlated with the manual testing. Although all products claim to have significant osteoinductive capabilities, this study demonstrates that there are significant differences between some of the tested products.

Osteoinductivity of demineralized bone matrix in immunocompromised mice and rats is decreased by ovariectomy and restored by estrogen replacement. Bone 2007; 40:111-21.

Abstract
The osteoinduction potential of human demineralized bone matrix (DBM) in females with low estrogen (E2) is unknown. Moreover, the osteoinductivity of commercial human DBM is tested in male athymic rats and mice, but DBM performance in these animals may not reflect performance in female animals or provide information on E2's role in the process. To gain insight, human DBM was implanted bilaterally in the gastrocnemius of twenty-four athymic female mice (10 mg/implant) and twenty-four athymic female rats (15 mg/implant). Eight animals in each group were sham-operated (SHAM), ovariectomized (OVX), or ovariectomized with E2-replacement (OVX+E2) via subcutaneous slow release capsules of 17beta-estradiol. OVX and OVX+E2 animals were pair-fed to SHAM animals. Four animals from each group were euthanized at 35 days and four at 56 days. Animal weight, uterine weight, and blood estrogen levels confirmed that pair feeding, ovariectomy, and E2 replacement were successful. Histological sections of implanted tissues were evaluated qualitatively for absence or presence of DBM, ossicle formation, and new bone or cartilage using a previously developed qualitative scoring system (QS) and by histomorphometry to obtain a quantitative assessment of osteoinduction. OVX mice had a small but significant QS decrease at 35 days compared to SHAM mice, confirmed by quantitative measurement of ossicle, marrow space, and new bone areas. The QS in rats was not affected by OVX but histomorphometry showed decreased new bone in OVX rats, which was restored by E2. The QS indicated that the number of new bone sites was not reduced by OVX in rats or mice at 56 days, but the relative amount of new bone v. marrow space was affected and differed with animal species. Residual DBM was less in OVX animals, indicating that DBM resorption was affected. Cartilage was present in rats but not in mice, suggesting that endochondral ossification was slower and indicating that bone graft studies in these species are not necessarily comparable. These results show the importance of E2 in human DBM-induced bone formation and suggest that E2 may be needed for clinical effectiveness in post-menopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone graft materials are needed in periodontics that are osteoinductive, have good handling characteristics, and have physical properties that provide appropriate stiffness for the treatment site. Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), also called demineralized bone matrix (DBM), is osteoinductive but requires a carrier to meet the other clinical objectives, thereby decreasing the DBM content per volume of the bone graft material. The present study determined whether the DBM content of a carrier formulation is an important variable with respect to its effectiveness as an osteoinductive material. METHODS The immunocompromised Nu/Nu mouse-muscle implantation assay of osteoinductivity was used to test human DBM formulated with hyaluronic acid (HY) and cancellous and cortical bone granules from the same donor: DBM alone (11 mg); DBM (11 mg):HY, 55:45, weight/weight (wt/wt); DBM (6.4 mg):HY, 32:68, wt/wt; DBM mixed with cortical and cancellous bone chips 1:4 (DBMC) (11 mg total, of which 2.2 mg was DBM); DBMC (11 mg):HY, 55:45, wt/wt; heat-treated DBM (11 mg); HY alone; and positive-control DBM (11 mg). Osteoinduction was scored using a qualitative scale and by histomorphometry. RESULTS Results showed that all DBM was osteoinductive and the addition of HY did not change this as long as the amount of DBM used was held constant. The reduction in the absolute amount of DBM resulted in a reduced osteoinduction score, reduced ossicle area, and reduced new bone formation. The addition of HY also caused a decrease in the amount of residual non-vital bone particles, particularly when DBMC was implanted. Results were donor dependent. CONCLUSION This study showed the importance of DBM content and donor variability in osteoinductivity of DBM formulations with improved handling and stiffness characteristics.

Abstract
The osteogenic behavior of three-dimensional collagenic and anionic matrices (M3DGA) implanted in critical bone defects of 8 mm diameter was morphologically assessed. The defects were performed in the calvaria of 48 adult male (Wistar) rats, and observed at days 15, 30, and 60. The animals were distributed in four groups of equal number: GA1 (M3DGA with 60 min of cross-linking in glutaraldehyde [GA]); GA2 (M3DGA with 30 min of cross-linking in GA); GA3 (M3DGA with 15 min of cross-linking in GA); and G4 (control group, without any implanted biomaterial). The M3DGAs were biocompatible, with mild and regressive chronic granulomatous inflammation, associated with the degradation of their fibers. Furthermore, tissue neovascularization and neomineralization was noted, with statistically significant differences in these amounts among the groups (GA1, GA2, and GA3) and G4. In G4 neoformation was limited to the edges of the defect as well as interstitial fibrosis. Under the experimental conditions and for the parameters analyzed, the M3DGAs had osteogenic behavior, which was more evident in M3DGA 15 min.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteogenic behavior of two chemically similar bioactive glass products (Biogranand Perioglas) implanted in critical bone defects in rat calvaria. Thirty-six transfixed bone defects of 8 mm diameter were made surgically in adult male Wistar rats. The animals were distributed equally into three groups: Biogran (GI), Perioglas (GII) and without implant material (control; GIII). The morphology and composition of both bioactive glasses were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometry. Tissue specimens were analyzed at the biological time points of 15, 30 and 60 days by optical microscopy and morphometry, demonstrating biocompatibility for the tested materials with moderate chronic inflammation involving their particles. Bone neoformation resulted only as a reparative reaction to an intentionally produced defect and was limited to the defect's edges. No statistically significant differences among the groups were observed. At the scar interstice, abundant deposits of collagenous fibers enveloping the particles were noted. The present results indicated that the bioactive glasses, under the experimental conditions analyzed, did not show osteogenic behavior.

Abstract
The placement of dental implants is based on the amount of alveolar bone present in the edentulous site to be reconstructed. Insufficient alveolar contours may require bone grafting procedures to restore an adequate bone volume before implant placement. Larger osseous defects often require block grafts harvested from the symphysis or the ramus buccal shelf region. These provide adequate donor sites to harvest a graft sufficient to restore a significant defect in the osseous structures planned for implant placements. Autogenous block grafts have been well established to reconstruct these types of defects prior to implant placement procedures. However, surgical complications associated with the unfavorable anatomical structures and the necessity of large donor sites (e.g., symphysis and ramus buccal shelf) have led to the use of allogenic grafting materials. Recent developments in allogenic grafting materials have lead to the development of a corticocancellous block graft harvested from the iliac crest region. This study evaluates the clinical indications of these allogenic graft materials to replace compromised alveolar bone defects both horizontal and vertical in nature. The analysis is supported by re-entry procedures and histologic evaluations to substantiate predictability.

Abstract
Autogenous block bone grafts have been highly successful in treating human periodontal defects, restoring esthetics, and developing adequate bone volume for dental implant placement. Limitations in available donor bone, the need for an added surgical procedure, and other potential complications have made the use of allogenic bone graft materials an important alternative. One patient described in this report presented with fractured root syndrome of the right maxillary incisor with severe resorption of the buccal plate. After atraumatic tooth extraction, a staged treatment approach involving localized ridge augmentation with an allogenic iliac bone block material and dental implant placement was used. The host bone completely incorporated the graft with only minor resorption, which enabled the implant to be placed. The allogenic bone block material used in this study was an effective alternative to harvesting and grafting autogenous bone for implant site development. The cases presented in this article clinically demonstrate the efficacy of using a block allograft in generating effective new bone fill for dental implant placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB) is commonly hydrated with sterile water into a paste-like consistency for improved clinical handling or reconstituted with biodegradable barriers, such as glycerol, to promote handling and wound stability following human periodontal surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of glycerol-compounded human DFDB on bone formation in the rat calvarial critical-sized defect (CSD) model. METHODS Forty-eight adult male Harland Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four treatment groups: glycerol, DFDB, DFDB plus glycerol, or a non-grafted control, and placed into 8 mm calvarial CSDs. DFDB (particle size 0.106 to 0.5 mm), glycerol, and their combination were from identical sources. Calvaria were harvested at 8 weeks postsurgery and evaluated histomorphometrically. RESULTS A statistically significant increased percentage of total bone fill was detected in the glycerol plus DFDB group and DFDB group as compared to glycerol group or the control. However, no significant difference was noted between the DFDB plus glycerol group and the DFDB group. CONCLUSION The addition of glycerol to DFDB results in comparable osseous regeneration in the rat calvarium defect model versus DFDB alone; however, based upon clinical judgment, handling characteristics of DFDB were greatly improved.

Abstract
A sensitive, rapid, reliable and quantitative method to check the bone forming potential of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) has been developed. The osteoinductivity of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), present in DBM, can be measured in vitro using a pluripotent myoblast C2C12 cell line. Alkaline phosphatase activity induced by co-incubation of DBM with C2C12 cells was dose-responsive and corresponds to the amount of active BMPs in DBM. Bone forming potential was simultaneously tested in vivo by implanting DBM intra-muscularly in nude rats. ALP activity induced in C2C12 cells, correlated with bone formation in vivo (r=0.88), determined by alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization density and histomorphology of the DBM explants. Results from DBM batches, originating from five established Bone Banks, showed good consistency between in vitro and in vivo assays. However, DBM activity varied widely from bank to bank as well as from batch to batch within the same bank.

Abstract
It has been reported that large cranial osteonecrotic areas can heal. It was hypothesized that optimal healing is possible by the synchronized contribution of the osteogenic structures (periosteum, dura, and adjacent bone) that envelop the necrotic cranium. This hypothesis was tested by preserving or isolating the contribution of these osteogenic tissues. A total of 37 4-old-month rats were included in the study. Twelve animals were killed immediately, and cranial bone samples were taken and processed for examination (from 6 animals as fresh samples [Group A] and from the rest as autoclaved samples [Group B]). Group B was created to test if the bone was completely nonviable. In Group C (n = 25), cranial bone disks 8 mm in diameter were taken from 4-month-old rats, autoclaved, and put back onto the defect area. This group was further divided into the four Subgroups C1 through C4 (n = 7 in C3; n = 6 in C1, C2, and C4). Dura mater was isolated from the overlying bone disk with a polytetrafluoroethylene sheet in Subgroups C1 and C2, whereas the bone contacted the dura in the rest. The bone samples were covered with healthy periosteum in Subgroups C1 and C3 and with skin in Subgroups C3 and C4. These animals were killed after a healing period of 12 weeks, and the relevant bone disks were obtained. Surrounding healthy bone was also harvested from the same animals after they were killed to create Group D. The data of Group A and D were compared with those of the experimental group to comment on the degree of bone healing in the latter group. Quantitative and qualitative assessment was performed by mammography, bone densitometry, computed tomography, and histological examinations to find out the density and cellular content (osteocytes and vessels) of the samples. Examination of Group B samples showed nonviable tissue with a preserved microstructure. Analysis of other samples showed that both the periosteum and, mainly, the dura play an important role in cranial bone healing. The periosteal reaction was observed to be more evident when the dura was not separated. Cellular repopulation was more evident when both structures contributed to the healing process. Newly formed bone progressed centripetally; however, adjacent bone without the support of the dura and periosteum was capable of producing limited neovascularization and bone formation.

Abstract
Degradable polymer networks formed by the photoinitiated polymerization of multifunctional monomers have great potential as in situ forming materials, especially for bone tissue engineering. In this study, one specific chemistry was analyzed with respect to bone formation in a critical-sized defect model with and without adsorbed osteoinductive growth factors present. The scaffolds degraded in approximately 8 months and possessed an elastic modulus similar to that of trabecular bone. A porous scaffold fabricated with approximately 80% porosity and pore diameters ranging from 45 to 150 mm was implanted in a critical-sized cranial defect in rats. When implanted alone, the scaffolds were filled primarily with fibrous tissue after 9 weeks with only mild inflammation at the defect site. When the scaffolds released osteoinductive growth factors, statistically more bone filled the scaffold. For instance, 65.8+/-9.4% (n=5) of the defects were filled with radiopaque tissue in the osteoinductive releasing scaffolds, whereas only 24.2+/-7.4% (n=5) of the defects were filled in the untreated defects 9 weeks after implantation. These results illustrate not only the benefits of delivering osteoinductive factors when developing synthetic bone grafts, but the potential of these materials for supporting the infiltration and development of bone in large defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we evaluated the results of spontaneous osteoneogenesis of the frontal sinus with autogenous bone plug versus obliteration with heterogeneous (human) bone in monkeys (Cebus apella). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight young adult male C apella monkeys underwent an ostectomy of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus, removal of the sinus mucosa, and inner decortication of the bony walls and then were divided into 2 groups of 4 each, as follows. Group I monkeys underwent obliteration of the nasofrontal ducts with a free segment of frontallis muscle and corticocancellous heterogeneous bone, followed by full obliteration of the sinus with corticocancellous heterogeneous bone (Dayton Regional Tissue Bank, Dayton, OH). Group II monkeys underwent obliteration of the nasofrontal ducts with a frontal muscle segment and tibial autogenous bone plug, without full obliteration of the frontal sinus. In all animals, the sinus anterior wall was repositioned and fixed with 1.0 plate and screws. The monkeys were killed after 180 days, and routine laboratory procedures were followed for hematoxylin-eosin staining and histologic evaluation of the specimens. RESULTS The 2 studied techniques were both effective in obliterating the frontal sinus with newly formed bone. The nasofrontal ducts were obliterated by new bone formation or fibrous tissue (1 animal only). CONCLUSIONS Both methods used for frontal sinus obliteration were effective; the heterogeneous bone (human bone) was well tolerated and presented low antigenicity. The nasofrontal duct obliteration with autogenous muscle associated with autogenous tibial bone (group II) or with heterogeneous bone (group I) was effective, isolating the frontal sinus from the nasal cavity. The spontaneous obliteration resulted, in the period analyzed, in earlier bone maturation compared with the obliteration by heterogeneous bone.

Abstract
Demineralized bone has had limited use as a medical implant, although, recently Jackson et al. (Am J Sports Med 1996;24(4):405-414) examined using demineralized bone as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) replacement and found that within 1 year the demineralized bone had remodeled from a haversian system (bone-like) into a ligament-like structure. Little research has been done to characterize the mechanical properties of demineralized bone and examine its potential as a ligament replacement. This research examined the mechanical properties of demineralized bone as a function of acid saturation time and methods of processing and sterilization using specimens from various anatomic locations. Bone specimens were manufactured from the tibia, metatarsus, femur, radius, and humerus of bovine bone. Tensile strength, strain, and modulus of elasticity were examined for various acid saturation times and sterilization treatments. Additionally, viscoelastic properties, creep and stress relaxation, and fatigue properties were examined. The findings indicate that completely demineralized bone has mechanical properties similar to the ACL and, therefore, has increased likelihood for success in ACL reconstruction surgery.

Abstract
Este estudo teve como finalidade a avaliação do uso de matriz óssea desmineralizada na reparação de lesões osteocondrais. A cartilagem articular tem pequena capacidade regenerativa devido a suas características histológicas e à ausência de vasos sanguíneos. Implantes teciduais e cultura de células condrogênicas foram utilizadas para o tratamento de lesões osteocondrais, porém trazem dificuldades técnicas na fixação e suporte mecânico da região subcondral. A matriz óssea desmineralizada pode facilitar tecnicamente a fixação destes implantes em razão de ser um material firme, porém com características elásticas. Além de ter capacidade osteogênica e produzir osso subcondral, assim funcionando como suporte mecânico, também tem fatores indutores de condrogênese. Lesões osteocondrais foram produzidas em joelhos de 15 coelhos. Os joelhos esquerdos foram tratados com matriz óssea desmineralizada, e os direitos usados como controle comparativo. Realizaram-se avaliações macroscópicas e histológicas nas semanas 02, 04 e 06. Nas lesões tratadas com matriz óssea desmineralizada foi obtido 100% de viabilidade do enxerto e formação de tecido normal de reparação, o qual preencheu a lesão completamente com matriz óssea desmineralizada. A análise histológica demonstrou neoformação óssea e integração do enxerto com o tecido ósseo da região subcondral, e na região superficial da lesão ocorrera a indução de formação de tecido condrogênico. A conclusão deste estudo é que a matriz óssea desmineralizada é útil na reparação de lesões osteocondrais devido a sua capacidade de indução óssea e indução de formação de tecido condrogênico. Pode ser usada no tratamento de lesões osteocondrais como componente de um enxerto composto com tecido condrogênico ou cultura de células condrogênicas. Pode também diminuir as dificuldades técnicas de fixação e suporte estes implantes.
