Abstract
Objective: A model of alveolar cleft phenotype was established in rabbits to evaluate the effect of active bone particles containing modified rhecombinant human BMP-2 on the repair of the alveolar cleft. Methods: 2-month-old Japanese white rabbits were selected and randomly divided into four groups: normal, control, material and BMP groups. Blood biochemical analysis, skull tomography (microfocus computerized tomography), and histological and immunohistochemical staining analysis of paraffin sections were performed 3 and 6 months after operation. Results: Both types of collagen particles showed good biocompatibility and promoted bone regeneration. The effect of active bone particles on bone repair and regeneration was better than that of bone collagen particles. Conclusions: Active bone particles containing modified rhecombinant human BMP-2 can be used for incisors regeneration.

Li W, Fu Y, Jiang B, Lo AY, Ameer GA, Barnett C, Wang B. Polymer-integrated amnion scaffold significantly improves cleft palate repair. Acta Biomater 2019; 92:104-114. [PMID: 31102764 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.05.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2018] [Revised: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Cleft palate is a common oral and craniomaxillofacial birth defect. As the ideal surgery time is shortly after birth, clinical treatments should result in minimal disruption of theskeleton to allow tissue growth in children. A tissue-engineered graft was created in this study for cleft palate repair by integrating poly(1,8-octamethylene-citrate) (POC) with a decellularized amnion membrane (DAM-POC) to incorporate the advantages of both the synthetic polymer and the native tissue. The success of POC incorporation was confirmed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and fluorescence detection. The DAM-POC scaffold showed a certain level of structure collapse and lower stiffness but better resistance to enzyme digestion than the native amnion and DAM scaffold. The DAM-POC scaffold is cell compatible when seeded with mesenchymal stem cells, as evidenced by adequate cell viability and improved alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposit. A large palate defect was first surgically created in a young rat model and then repaired with the DAM-POC scaffold. Eight weeks postsurgery, histological study and CT scans showed nearly complete healing of both soft and hard tissues. In conclusion, we developed a cell-free, resorbable graft by incorporating and integrating a synthetic polymer with a human DAM. When the DAM-POC scaffold was applied to repair a large palate defect in young rats, it showed adequate biocompatibility as evidenced by its effectiveness in guiding hard and soft tissue regeneration and minimum interference with natural growth and palate development of rats. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Proper restoration of severe cleft palate remains a major challenge because of insufficient autologous soft tissues to close the open wounds, thereby causing high tension at the surgical junction, secondary palatal fistulas, wound contraction, scar tissue formation, and facial growth disturbances. In this study, we have developed a tissue-engineered graft through incorporating and integrating a synthetic polymer with the human amnion membrane for cleft palate repair. The significance of this study lies in our ability to develop a cell-free, resorbable graft that can provide a less surgically invasive option to cover the open defect and support palate regeneration and tissue growth. This technique could potentially advance soft and hard tissue regeneration in children with birth craniomaxillofacial defects.

Bone regeneration using composite non-demineralized xenogenic dentin with beta-tricalcium phosphate in experimental alveolar cleft repair in a rabbit model. J Transl Med 2017; 15:263. [PMID: 29274638 PMCID: PMC5742260 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-017-1369-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2017] [Accepted: 12/15/2017] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Alveolar cleft repair is performed via bone grafting procedure to restore the dental arch continuity. A suitable bone substitute materials should possess osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties, to promote new bone formation, along with a slowly resorbable scaffold that is subsequently replaced with functionally viable bone. Calcium phosphate biomaterials have long proved their efficacy as bone replacement materials. Dentin in several forms has also demonstrated its possibility to be used as bone graft replacement material in several studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone regeneration pattern and quantify bone formation after grafting pre-established experimental alveolar clefts defects model in rabbits using composite xenogenic dentin and β-TCP in comparison to β-TCP alone. Methods Unilateral alveolar cleft defects were created in 16 New Zealand rabbits according to previously described methodology. Alveolar clefts were allowed 8 weeks healing period. 8 defects were filled with β-TCP, whereas 8 defects filled with composite xenogenic dentin with β-TCP. Bone regeneration of the healed defects was compared at the 8 weeks after intervention. Quantification of bone formation was analyzed using micro-computed tomography (µCT) and histomorphometric analysis. Results µCT and histomorphometric analysis revealed that defects filled with composite dentin/β-TCP showed statistically higher bone volume fraction, bone mineral density and percentage residual graft volume when compared to β-TCP alone. An improved surgical handling of the composite dentin/β-TCP graft was also noted. Conclusions Composite xenogenic dentin/β-TCP putty expresses enhanced bone regeneration compared to β-TCP alone in the reconstruction of rabbit alveolar clefts defects.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of the present study was to develop an animal model for creating alveolar cleft defects with properly simulated clinical defect environment for tissue-engineered bone-substitute materials testing without compromising the health of the animal. Cleft creation surgery was aimed at creating a complete alveolar cleft with a wide bone defect with an epithelial lining (oral mucosa) overlying the cleft defect. Methods A postmortem skull of a New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit skull (Oryctolagus cuniculus) underwent an osteological and imaging survey. A pilot postmortem surgery was conducted to confirm the feasability of a surgical procedure and the defect was also radiologically confirmed and illustrated with micro-computed tomography. Then, a surgical in vivo model was tested and evaluated in 16 (n = 16) 8-week-old NZW rabbits to create in vivo alveolar cleft creation surgery. Results Clinical examination and imaging analysis 8 weeks after cleft creation surgery revealed the establishment of a wide skeletal defect extending to the nasal mucosa simulating alveolar clefts in all of the rabbits. Conclusions Our surgical technique was successful in creating a sizable and predictable model for bone grafting material testing. The model allows for simulating the cleft site environment and can be used to evaluate various bone grafting materials in regard to efficacy of osteogenesis and healing potential without compromising the health of the animal.
