The purpose of this study was to compare bone regeneration and space maintaining ability of three-dimensional (3D) printed bone grafts with conventional biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). After mixing polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in a 4:4:2 ratio, PCL/PLGA/β-TCP particulate bone grafts were fabricated using 3D printing technology. Fabricated particulate bone grafts were mixed with atelocollagen to produce collagen-based PCL/PLGA/β-TCP composite block bone grafts. After formation of calvarial defects 8 mm in diameter, PCL/PLGA/β-TCP composite block bone grafts and BCP were implanted into bone defects of 32 rats. Although PCL/PLGA/β-TCP composite block bone grafts were not superior in bone regeneration ability compared to BCP, the results showed relatively similar performance. Furthermore, PCL/PLGA/β-TCP composite block bone grafts showed better ability to maintain bone defects and to support barrier membranes than BCP. Therefore, within the limitations of this study, PCL/PLGA/β-TCP composite block bone grafts could be considered as an alternative to synthetic bone grafts available for clinical use.
本研究的目的是比较三维(3D)打印骨移植材料与传统双相磷酸钙(BCP)的骨再生和空间维持能力。将聚己内酯(PCL)、聚(乳酸-乙醇酸)共聚物(PLGA)和β-磷酸三钙(β-TCP)按4:4:2的比例混合后,采用3D打印技术制备PCL/PLGA/β-TCP颗粒状骨移植材料。将制备好的颗粒状骨移植材料与去端胶原蛋白混合,制成基于胶原蛋白的PCL/PLGA/β-TCP复合块状骨移植材料。在形成直径为8mm的颅骨缺损后,将PCL/PLGA/β-TCP复合块状骨移植材料和BCP植入32只大鼠的骨缺损处。虽然PCL/PLGA/β-TCP复合块状骨移植材料在骨再生能力方面并不优于BCP,但结果显示其性能相对相似。此外,PCL/PLGA/β-TCP复合块状骨移植材料在维持骨缺损和支撑屏障膜方面比BCP表现更好。因此,在本研究的局限性范围内,PCL/PLGA/β-TCP复合块状骨移植材料可被视为临床可用合成骨移植材料的替代品。
