Our group has recently fabricated 3-dimensional scaffolds of unique architecture to mediate favorable cell binding, proliferation, and differentiation. In this study, the osteoconductive and bioactive polycaprolactone-20% tricalcium phosphate (PCL-TCP) scaffolds were assessed for the treatment of critical-sized defects of the mandible, with respect to new bone formation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was combined with some scaffolds to test if bone regeneration could be enhanced.
Autologous PRP was prepared from whole blood collected from 8 mongrel dogs. In each dog, 3 defects (18 x 10 x 7 mm) were created at either the left or right mandible and treated with 1 of 2 treatment modalities: 1) grafting with scaffolds alone; or 2) grafting with scaffolds loaded with PRP. The scaffolds were stabilized using 2 dental implants each to prevent rotation. Micro-CT and histologic analysis were carried out on samples after 6 and 9 months.
Micro-CT measurements showed that PRP-treated defects had 98.3% and 58.3% more bone volume fraction than defects grafted with scaffolds alone at 6 and 9 months, respectively (P < .05). No significant difference was noted between caudal and frontal situated PRP-treated defects, but a significant difference was observed between male and female dogs. Histologic analyses verified the deposition of osteoid and new bone trabeculae throughout the section at 6 months. The defect margins were filled with mature bone trabeculae at 9 months but the middle section of the scaffolds manifested disturbed mineralization. The scaffolds experienced 33% degradation from 6 to 9 months. PRP treatment had negligible effect on the degradation of the scaffolds.
The pilot study showed that the treatment of critical-sized defects of the mandible with PCL-TCP scaffolds may be augmented by the addition of PRP.
我们的团队最近制造了具有独特结构的三维支架,以促进良好的细胞黏附、增殖和分化。在本研究中,评估了具有骨传导性和生物活性的聚己内酯-20%磷酸三钙(PCL-TCP)支架在治疗下颌骨临界尺寸缺损方面的新骨形成情况。将富血小板血浆(PRP)与一些支架相结合,以测试是否可以增强骨再生。
从8只杂种犬采集的全血中制备自体PRP。在每只犬的左或右下颌骨制造3个缺损(18×10×7mm),并用以下2种治疗方式之一进行治疗:1)仅用支架移植;或2)用负载PRP的支架移植。每个支架使用2颗牙种植体进行固定以防止旋转。在6个月和9个月后对样本进行显微CT和组织学分析。
显微CT测量显示,在6个月和9个月时,PRP处理的缺损分别比仅用支架移植的缺损具有多98.3%和58.3%的骨体积分数(P<.05)。在PRP处理的缺损中,尾侧和额侧缺损之间未观察到显著差异,但在雄性和雌性犬之间观察到显著差异。组织学分析证实,在6个月时整个切片中有类骨质和新骨小梁沉积。在9个月时缺损边缘充满成熟骨小梁,但支架中间部分表现出矿化紊乱。支架在6至9个月间降解了33%。PRP处理对支架降解的影响可忽略不计。
初步研究表明,添加PRP可能增强PCL-TCP支架治疗下颌骨临界尺寸缺损的效果。
