Description
Summary:Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is most effective when the material used has osteogenic, osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. Xenografts have limited biolo­gi­cal properties, so a solution for diversification the properties of Bio Oss® was sought by com­bi­ning with Emdogain®. The purpose of the present work was to study the process of GBR involving a combination of Bio Oss and Emdogain® compared with their independent use. An in vivo experiment was conducted with 10 New Zea­land white rabbits. Artificial bone defects in the tibias and femurs of each rabbit were created. Depending of the used grafting materials, six experimental groups were formed: groups 1 and 2 (Bio Oss®) groups 3 and 4 (Emdogain®) and groups 5 and 6 (Bio Oss® + Emdogain®). In control groups (A and B), osseous coagulum was used as grafting material. Prior to apposition and soft tissue suturing, all bone defects were covered with Bio Gide® membrane. Half of the rabbits (groups 1, 3, 5 and control group A) were euthanised at the end of the third, and groups 2, 4, 6 and control B – of the fourth month. There were no significant quality differences between experimental and control groups by the end of month 3 or 4. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteoid and woven bone were found in all the samples studied. Maturing woven and lamellar bone were found in samples treated with Bio Oss® + Emdogain®. Newly formed bone was in close contact with Bio Oss® particles. Connective tissue around the Bio Oss® particles was found only in the groups in which it was the sole material used. There was neither evidence for degradation of Bio Oss® particles, nor for inflammation. The combination of osteoconductive properties of Bio Oss® with osteoinductive potential of Emdogain® benefited the formation of new woven bone, its transformation into lamellar and the osteointegration of Bio Oss® particles.
