J Digit Imaging 2023; 36:356-364. [PMID: 36070014 PMCID: PMC9984626 DOI: 10.1007/s10278-022-00693-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the extraction socket (distal or lingual root) and the type of region of interest (ROI) definition (manual or predefined) on the assessment of alveolar repair following tooth extraction using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The software package used for scanning, reconstruction, reorientation, and analysis of images (NRecon®, DataViewer®, CT-Analyzer®) was acquired through Bruker < https://www.bruker.com > . The sample comprised the micro-CT volumes of seven Wistar rat mandibles, in which the right first molar was extracted. The reconstructed images were analyzed using the extraction sockets, i.e., the distal and intermediate lingual root and the method of ROI definition: manual (MA), central round (CR), and peripheral round (PR). The bone volume fraction (BV/TV) values obtained were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test (α = 5%). The distal extraction socket resulted in significantly lower BV/TV values than the intermediate lingual socket for MA (P = 0.001), CR (P < 0.001), and PR (P < 0.001). Regarding the ROI, when evaluating the distal extraction socket, the BV/TV was significantly higher (P < 0.001) for MA than for CR and PR, with a lower BV/TV for CR. However, no significant difference was observed for MA (P = 0.855), CR (P = 0.769), or PR (P = 0.453) in the intermediate lingual extraction socket. The bone neoformation outcome (BV/TV) for alveolar bone repair after tooth extraction is significantly influenced by the ROI and the extraction socket. Using the predefined method with a standardized ROI in the central region of the distal extraction socket resulted in the assessment of bone volume, demonstrating the most critical region of the bone neoformation process.

Significance of medication discontinuation on bisphosphonate-related jaw osteonecrosis in a rat model. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21449. [PMID: 36509781 PMCID: PMC9744902 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25347-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP) discontinuation has been advised as a measure to prevent the incidence of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), however, its efficacy remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of BP discontinuation in reducing BRONJ severity following tooth extraction in a rat model. Thirty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two BRONJ model categories: oral administration (PO) of alendronate (1 mg/kg) for 3 and 8 weeks and intraperitoneal (IP) injection of pamidronate (3 mg/kg) and dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) for 20 days. The PO model was divided into five groups (a control group without BPs and four experimental groups with 1-week discontinuation). The IP model was divided into two groups consisting of group I (without discontinuation) and group II (1-week discontinuation). One molar from both sides of the mandible was extracted. After extraction, the PO models were sacrificed at 3 and 5 weeks, and the IP models were sacrificed either immediately or at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Micro-CT showed non-significant differences among PO groups but significant differences were observed between IP groups. Most bone remodeling parameters within group I of the IP model differed significantly (p-value < 0.05). Histologically, group I showed a significantly higher percentage of necrotic bone than group II (51.93 ± 12.75%, p < 0.05) and a higher number of detached osteoclasts in TRAP staining. With discontinuation of medication for at least 1 week in rats, the effects of BPs on alveolar bone are suppressed and bone turnover and osteoclast functions are restored.

Dynamic changes in tooth displacement and bone morphometry induced by orthodontic force. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13672.

Abstract
This study used a novel 3D analysis to longitudinally evaluate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and bone morphometry. Twelve-week-old male Wistar rats were subjected to OTM by applying a constant orthodontic force (OF) of 25cN between one of the upper first molars and a mini-screw. In vivo micro-CTs were taken before and after 10, 17, 24 and 31 days of force application, and superimposed by a novel and rigid voxel-based registration method. Then the tooth and alveolar bone segment at different time points became comparable in the same coordinate system, which facilitated the analysis of their dynamic changes in 3D. By comparison between time points and between OF and no OF sides, this study showed that the OTM rate was not constant through time, but conformed to a ‘V’ shape changing pattern. Besides, OF induced displacement of both loaded and unloaded teeth, and the latter mirrored the former in a delayed manner. In addition, bone morphometric changes synchronized with OTM rate changes, implying that a higher OTM rate was concomitant with more alveolar bone loss. The pressure and tension areas might not be in two opposite sides, but actually adjacent and connected. These findings might provide instructive evidence for both clinical, translational and basic research in orthodontics.

Abstract
Purpose Puerarin (C21H20O10) is a phytoestrogen that possesses various pharmacological effect, and several researches have revealed the relationship between puerarin and bone metabolism. This study was aimed to evaluate the potential influence of puerarin on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as well as on new bone formation following rapid maxillary expansion (RME) model in rats. Methods Rat BMSCs were adopted, and the cell proliferation was detected by cell-counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay in vitro experiments. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining were analyzed quantitatively to show extracellular matrix mineralization. The mRNA and protein expression levels were used to detect osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In vivo bone regeneration was analyzed in a rat RME model. Eighteen 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: group 1 without any treatment, group 2 received RME and saline solution (15mg/kg), group 3 received RME and puerarin solution (15mg/kg). After 2 weeks, micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and Masson staining were used to detect the new bone formation and morphological changes. Besides, ALP and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) expression levels in mid-palatal suture were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results The results showed that puerarin upregulates cell proliferation dose-dependently. ALP activity and mineralized matrix generation were clearly enhanced at certain specific concentrations (10−5 and 10−6 mol/L); the expression levels of the osteoblast-related genes and proteins were increased. The measurement of micro-CT imaging revealed that puerarin significantly promoted new bone formation. Concomitantly, the histological examinations showed that puerarin solution enhanced osteogenesis in mid-palatal suture. Conclusion Those works indicated that puerarin regulates osteogenesis in vitro and exerts a beneficial impact on bone regeneration in vivo, revealing that puerarin treatment may become one of the potential keys for improving the stability and preventing relapse of RME.

Abstract
Surface modifications of titanium implant influences the quality of osseointegration and are associated with favourable treatment prognosis in orthopaedic and cranio-maxillofacial cases. Hence, unlike previous works, the peri-implant region details of our novel osteogenic nanofibrous coated implants placed in rabbits (n = 6 + 1) were recorded over a 12-week period using a micro-CT imaging system. In this unique contribution, we have created a computed tomography (CT) library of rabbit’s tibiae anatomy with osteogenic nanofibrous coated/uncoated implants and are introductory useful assets for investigating the correlation between osteogenic nanofibers coated implants and its effect on improved osseointegration. Apart from using this CT dataset to conduct serial 2D image studies, three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, assessing segmentation algorithms and developing adequate image quantitation tools, there may be positive applications of these in comparative investigations of similar or related preclinical as well as future clinical studies, further design planning, development etc. required for evolution of implants beyond the present state of art.

Abstract
Body bones play diverse pivotal roles, including the protection of vital organs. For instance, the integrative functions of the brain controlling diverse peripheral actions can be affected by a traumatic injury on the calvaria and the reparative process of a large defect is a challenge in the integrative physiology. Therefore, the development of biomaterials and approaches to improve such defects still requires substantial advances. In this regard, the most attractive approaches have been covering the cavity with inorganic bovine bone (IBB) and, more recently, also using low-level laser therapy (LT), but this issue has opened many questions. Here, it was determined the number of LT sessions required to speed up and to intensify the recovery process of two 5-mm-diameter defects promoted in the calvaria of each subgroup of six adult Wistar rats. The quantitative data showed that 30 days post-surgery, the recovery process by using blood clot-filling was not significantly influenced by the number of LT sessions. However, in the IBB-filled defects, the number of LT sessions markedly contributed to the improvement of the reparative process. Compared to the Control group (non-irradiated), the percentage of mineralization (formation of new bone into the cavities) gradually increased 25, 49, and 52% with, respectively, 4, 7, and 11 sessions of LT. In summary, combining the use of IBB with seven sessions of LT seems to be an optimal approach to greatly improve the recovery of calvarial defects. This translational research opens new avenues targeting better conditions of life for those suffering from large bone traumas and in the present field could contribute to preserve the integrative functions of the brain.

Abstract
X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging has important applications in microarchitecture analysis of cortical and trabecular bone structure. While standardized protocols exist for micro-CT-based microarchitecture assessment of long bones, specific protocols need to be developed for different types of skull bones taking into account differences in embryogenesis, organization, development, and growth compared to the rest of the body. This chapter describes the general principles of bone microarchitecture analysis of murine craniofacial skeleton to accommodate for morphological variations in different regions of interest.

Abstract
PURPOSE Emerging evidence shows that changes in the bone and its microenvironment following radiotherapy are associated with either an inhibition or a state of low bone formation. Ionizing radiation is damaging to the jawbone as it increases the complication rate due to the development of hypovascular, hypocellular, and hypoxic tissue. This review summarizes and correlates the current knowledge on the effects of irradiation on the bone with an emphasis on jawbone, as these have been a less extensively studied area. CONCLUSIONS The stringent regulation of bone formation and bone resorption can be influenced by radiation, causing detrimental effects at structural, cellular, vascular, and molecular levels. It is also associated with a high risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissues and an increased risk of fracture. Technological advances and research on animal models as well as a few human bone tissue studies have provided novel insights into the ways in which bone can be affected by high, low and sublethal dose of radiation. The influence of radiation on bone metabolism, cellular properties, vascularity, collagen, and other factors like inflammation, reactive oxygen species are discussed.

Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most feared side effects of radiotherapy following cancers of the upper aero-digestive tract and leading to severe functional defects in patients. Today, our lack of knowledge about the physiopathology restricts the development of new treatments. In this study, we refined the ORN rat model and quantitatively studied the progression of the disease. We tested the impact of radiation doses from 20 to 40 Gy, delivered with incident 4MV X-ray beams on the left mandible of the inbred Lewis Rat. We used micro-computed tomography (µCT) to obtain in vivo images for longitudinal bone imaging and ex vivo images after animal perfusion with barium sulphate contrast agent for vessel imaging. We compared quantification methods by analyzing 3D images and 2D measurements to determine the most appropriate and precise method according to the degree of damage. We defined 25 Gy as the minimum irradiation dose combined with the median molar extraction necessary to develop non-regenerative bone necrosis. µCT image analyses were correlated with clinical and histological analyses. This refined model and accurate methods for bone and vessel quantification will improve our knowledge of the progression of ORN pathology and allow us to test the efficacy of new regenerative medicine procedures.

Is the Jaw Bone Micro-Structure Altered in Response to Osteoporosis and Bisphosphonate Treatment? A Micro-CT Analysis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126559. [PMID: 34207275 PMCID: PMC8234121 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22126559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to quantify the micro-architectural changes of the jaw bone in response to ovariectomy, exposed or not to bisphosphonate treatment. A total of 47 Wistar rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham-operated (shOVX) and exposed to osteoporosis preventive treatment for eight weeks either with bisphosphonates (alendronate, ALN; group OVX-ALN) three days/week at a dose of 2 mg/kg or with saline solution (untreated control condition; group OVX). The bone morphometric parameters of the trabecular jaw bone were assessed using ex vivo micro-computed tomography. The regions of interest investigated in the maxilla were the inter-radicular septum of the second molar and the tuber. The regions quantified in the mandible included the three molar regions and the condyle. A one-way analysis of variance followed by pairwise comparison using Tukey’s HSD and the Games–Howell test was conducted to explore significant differences between the groups. In the maxilla, OVX decreased the bone volume in the inter-radicular septum of the second molar. Bisphosphonate treatment was able to prevent this deterioration of the jaw bone. The other investigated maxillary regions were not affected by (un)treated ovariectomy. In the mandible, OVX had a significant negative impact on the jaw bone in the buccal region of the first molar and the inter-radicular region of the third molar. Treatment with ALN was able to prevent this jaw bone loss. At the condyle site, OVX significantly deteriorated the trabecular connectivity and shape, whereas preventive bisphosphonate treatment showed a positive effect on this trabecular bone region. No significant results between the groups were observed for the remaining regions of interest. In summary, our results showed that the effects of ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis are manifested at selected jaw bone regions and that bisphosphonate treatment is capable to prevent these oral bone changes.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows various symptoms that reflect cognitive impairment and loss of neural circuit integrity. Sensory dysfunctions such as olfactory and ocular pathology are also observed and used as indicators for early detection of AD. Although mastication is suggested to correlate with AD progression, changes in the masticatory system have yet to be established in transgenic animal models of AD. In the present study, we have assessed pathologic hallmarks of AD with the masticatory behavior of 5XFAD mice. We found that masticatory efficiency and maximum biting force were decreased in 5XFAD mice, with no significant change in general motor function. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed significant accumulation of Aβ (amyloid β), increased microglia number, and cell death in Vmo (trigeminal motor nucleus) as compared with other cranial motor nuclei that innervate the orofacial region. Masseter muscle weight and muscle fiber size were also decreased in 5XFAD mice. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Aβ accumulation in Vmo contributes to masticatory dysfunction in 5XFAD mice, suggesting a close association between masticatory dysfunction and dementia.

Abstract
Micro–computed tomography (μCT) has become essential for analysis of mineralized as well as nonmineralized tissues and is therefore widely applicable in the life sciences. However, lack of standardized approaches and protocols for scanning, analyzing, and reporting data often makes it difficult to understand exactly how analyses were performed, how to interpret results, and if findings can be broadly compared with other models and studies. This problem is compounded in analysis of the dentoalveolar complex by the presence of four distinct mineralized tissues: enamel, dentin, cementum, and alveolar bone. Furthermore, these hard tissues interface with adjacent soft tissues, the dental pulp and periodontal ligament (PDL), making for a complex organ. Drawing on others' and our own experience analyzing rodent dentoalveolar tissues by μCT, we introduce techniques to successfully analyze dentoalveolar tissues with similar or disparate compositions, densities, and morphological characteristics. Our goal is to provide practical guidelines for μCT analysis of rodent dentoalveolar tissues, including approaches to optimize scan parameters (filters, voltage, voxel size, and integration time), reproducibly orient samples, define regions and volumes of interest, segment and subdivide tissues, interpret findings, and report methods and results. We include illustrative examples of analyses performed on genetically engineered mouse models with phenotypes in enamel, dentin, cementum, and alveolar bone. The recommendations are designed to increase transparency and reproducibility, promote best practices, and provide a basic framework to apply μCT analysis to the dentoalveolar complex that can also be extrapolated to a variety of other tissues of the body. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone augmentation or grafting is often required for placement of dental implants or surgical reconstruction of bony defects. Bioabsorbable magnesium implant was shown to promote osteogenesis in long bones. The objectives of this study were to determine osteogenic effects of pure magnesium (Mg) in rat mandible and underlying mechanisms. METHODS Pure Mg was implanted in sockets after rat mandibular incisors were extracted. Titanium (Ti) was used as control. Systemic effects were determined by serum Mg level and histologic analyses of liver and kidney. Local Mg concentration was measured by microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Alveolar bone was analyzed by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histology. Osteogenic effects of 0.8 to 20 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl2 ) on periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) were evaluated by proliferation, alizarin red staining and quantitative RT-PCR assays. RESULTS Systemic effects were similar in Mg and Ti groups. Higher local Mg concentration was detected in Mg group (P < 0.05). Micro-CT showed higher alveolar bone volume (2- and 6-weeks post-operation) and denser cancellous bone (2 weeks post-operation) in Mg group, with significant amount of new subperiosteal bone formation on lateral alveolar bone surfaces by H&E staining. In PDC culture, proliferation rates, osteogenic gene expression for runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), bone sialoprotein (Bsp) and osteocalcin (Ocn), as well as calcium nodule formation rose significantly in 5, 10, and 20 mM MgCl2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Rapid osteogenesis (especially subperiosteal) is induced by pure Mg in rat mandibular alveolar bone. Osteogenic capacity of PDCs is enhanced by higher Mg ion concentrations in vitro.

Caprine demineralized bone matrix (DBMc) in the repair of non-critical bone defects in rabbit tibias. A new bone xenograft. Acta Cir Bras 2020; 35:e202000801. [PMID: 32901678 PMCID: PMC7478467 DOI: 10.1590/s0102-865020200080000001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the use of demineralized bone matrix of caprine origin in experimental bone defects of the tibia in New Zealand rabbits. Methods Fragments of the tibia diaphysis were collected aseptically from clinically healthy goats. The bones were sectioned into 1 cm fragments and stored at -20°C for subsequent hydrochloric acid (HCL) demineralization. A 70 mg portion of DBMc was used to fill the experimental bone defects. Twenty-four female adult New Zealand rabbits were divided into 2 groups: the MG (matrix group, left tibia) and CG (control group, right tibia). Additionally, they were separated into 4 groups with 6 animals, according to the period of analysis (15, 30, 60 and 90 days postoperatively). Using microCT, volumetric parameters were evaluated: bone volume, relationship between bone volume and total volume, bone surface area, relationship between bone surface area and total volume, number of trabeculae, trabecular thickness and trabecular separation. Results There was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) between groups considering bone volume (BV) and bone:total volume (BV/TV), on 15, 30 and 90 days postoperatively. Control group showed a statistically significant superiority (P < 0.05) considering the mean of the variables bone surface (BS), number of trabeculae (Tb.N) and between bone surface and total volume (BS/TV) at 15 and 90 days. Conclusions Caprine demineralized bone matrix was safe and tolerable. No signs of material rejection were seen macroscopically. It is an alternative for the treatment of bone defects when autologous graft is not available or in insufficient quantities.

Mandibular bone is protected against microarchitectural alterations and bone marrow adipose conversion in ovariectomized rats. Bone 2019; 127:343-352.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to a loss of bone mass and to alterations in the bone microarchitecture that occur in a site-specific manner; however it remains controversial in the jaw. The involvement of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in the bone metabolism has been suggested in several physiopathological contexts, such as in aging and osteoporosis. To test whether the BMAT content is related to mandibular bone loss, this study aimed to investigate the potential correlations between the trabecular bone microarchitecture on one hand and BMAT content and its spatial distribution in relation to bone surface on the other hand during aging and ovariectomy (OVX) during a long-term follow-up in a mature rat model. No age-related microarchitectural or BMAT changes were observed in the mandible. The OVX-induced bone loss was three-fold lower in the mandible than in the tibia and was observed only in the alveolar bone (not in the condyle). We also report a delayed increase in the mandibular BMAT content that remained 4-6-fold lower compared to tibia. This low BMAT content in the mandible was located at a distance from the trabecular bone surface (only 5% in contact with the bone surface versus 87% in the tibia). These findings highlight a specific mandibular response to OVX, in particular fewer microarchitectural alterations compared to that in the tibia. For the latter, the trabecular bone thickness and surface were correlated with the BMAT content. Oral functions may have a protective effect on the mandibular BMAT conversion in an OVX context.
