Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that simvastatin can promote bone formation, but there is stil controversial on the osteogenic mechanism and osteogenic effect.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the osteogenesis effect of the composite of simvastatin and Bio-Oss versus simple Bio-Oss material on the repair of rabbit mandibular defects.
METHODS:Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were selected to establish alveolar bilateral mandibular defects models. The composite of simvastatin and Bio-Oss was implanted randomly in one side of defect region;Bio-Oss was simply implanted in the other side of defect region. Both sides were covered with Bio-Gide bilayer col agen membrane. Four rabbits in each group were sacrificed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after implantation, and the general observation X-ray film, oral cone-beam CT imaging observation and histopathologic study and quantitatively were conducted to quantitatively and qualitatively comparative analyze the alveolar bone formation in the graft region.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4, 8 and 12 weeks after implantation, new bone formation was found and increased with time prolonging. With the gradual degeneration of high resistance fire Bio-Oss bone meal, the bone mineral density at different time points of the simvastatin composite Bio-Oss group was lower than that of the simple Bio-Oss group (P<0.05). The percentage of bone formation in the simvastatin composite Bio-Oss group was significantly higher than that in the simple Bio-Oss group (P<0.05). Simvastatin could accelerate Bio-Oss degradation and promote new bone formation in bone defects repairing.
