Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks as an alternative material for autogenous onlay bone grafts are regarded as an insufficient substitute for osseointegration of dental implant. In this study, we evaluated the effects of dog mesenchymal stromal cells (dMSCs) with or without bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP) on new peri-implant bone formation after HA block graft. In four mandibular bone defects (8×8×6 mm each) in five beagle dogs, dental implants were placed with HA block loaded with autogenous dMSCs with or without BMP-2. Animals were sacrificed at eight weeks, and bone healing was evaluated among four groups consisting of 1) HA alone as a control, 2) HA+dMSCs, 3) HA+BMP-2, and 4) HA+dMSCs+BMP-2. According to histomorphometric evaluation, the MSC+BMP-2 group and the BMP-2 group showed significantly higher bone-implant-contact (BIC) length than the MSC group, while there was no significant difference in new bone formation among the groups. According to micro-CT analysis, bone volume and bone mineral density were significantly higher in the MSC+BMP-2 group compared with the control group (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). BIC was significantly higher in the MSC+BMP-2 group than both the control and MSC groups (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). In conclusion, our results showed that bone regeneration at peri-implant bone defects grafted with HA blocks was significantly increased by dual delivery of MSCs and BMP-2. Conversely, HA blocks with MSC or BMP-2 alone did not allow for efficient peri-implant bone regeneration.
