Introduction: Alveolar bone defect in dentistry can be caused by injury after tooth extraction, periodontal disease, enucleation of a cyst, and tumor surgery. Scaffold in tissue engineering is an important material that can stimulate osteogenesis process. Lymphocyte cells have a role in promoting and accelerating the proliferation of supporting cells like osteoblast to accelerate the bone regeneration process. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chitosan-collagen chicken shank collagen used as scaffold for bone regeneration through lymphocyte cell proliferation. Method: Twelve Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were prepared as animal models in this study. Bone defects are intentionally made in both the right and left femur bones of the rat. Total samples were 24 divided into four groups: Group 1 as a control Group using 3% CMC-Na, Group 2 using chitosan scaffold only, Group 3 using chitosan chicken shank collagen scaffold (50:50), and Group 4 using chitosan-chicken shank collagen scaffold (80:20). The animals were sacrificed on the 5th day, and histopathological examination was carried out to observe the number of lymphocyte cells. Results: Significant differences between all groups can be showed in the one-way ANOVA test (p value>0.05). The highest lymphocyte cells were found in Group 3 with chitosan-chicken shank collagen scaffold (50:50). Conclusion The chitosan-chicken shank collagen used as scaffold can increase the bone regeneration process through increased lymphocyte cell proliferation.

The authors installed implants combined with guided bony regeneration (GBR) using autogenous tooth bone graft material in the patients. In one patient, GBR and simultaneous implant placement were performed. In two patients, GBR was performed and the implants were placed after 6 months. All patients achieved favorable clinical outcomes. Excellent osteoconductive bony healing was observed in the 6 month histology examination after the bone graft.

Pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate(beta-TCP) proved to be a bone regeneration material, providing the patient with vital bone at the defect site in a reasonable time, making a second surgical procedure for bone harvesting unnecessary. This study compares bone healing and BMP 2/4 expression in cranial defects in rabbits grafted with autogenous bone and beta-TCP. Thirty New Zealand White rabbits was divided into 3 group of 10 animals each. Bilateral calvarial defects were made in the parietal bones of each animal. beta-TCP placed in one defect and the other defects was filled with autogenous bone. The animal were sacrificed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to investigate the expression of BMP 2/4. 1. The new bone formation around autogenous bone from 4 weeks and beta-TCP from 8 weeks. 2. In autogenous bone graft, BMP 2/4 expression was decreased from 4 to 12 weeks. 3. In beta-TCP graft, BMP 4 expression was increased from 8 to 12 weeks. But, BMP 2 was observed from 12 weeks. This study showed that bone healing, regeneration and, BMP 2/4 expression are delayed in grafted beta-TCP than autogenous bone.

While bone marrow (BM)-derived cells have been comprehensively studied for their propitious pre-clinical results, clinical trials have shown controversial outcomes. Unlike previously acknowledged, more recent studies have now confirmed that humoral and paracrine effects are the key mechanisms for tissue regeneration and functional recovery, instead of transdifferentiation of BM-derived cells into cardiovascular tissues. The progression of the understanding of BM-derived cells has further led to exploring efficient methods to isolate and obtain, without mobilization, sufficient number of cell populations that would eventually have a higher therapeutic potential. As such, hematopoietic CD31+ cells, prevalent in both bone marrow and peripheral blood, have been discovered, in recent studies, to have angiogenic and vasculogenic activities and to show strong potential for therapeutic neovascularization in ischemic tissues. This article will discuss recent advancement on BM-derived cell therapy and the implication of newly discovered CD31+ cells.

PURPOSE: Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values have been supposed to predict implant stability. However, the relationship between ISQ values and bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC%) which is one of the predictors of implant stability is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate initial ISQ values in relation to BIC% using rabbit model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four New Zealand white rabbits received a total of 16 implants in their tibia. Immediately after implant placement ISQ values were assessed. The measurements were repeated at the time of sacrifice of the rabbits after 4 weeks. Peri-implant bone regeneration was assessed histomorphometrically by measuring BIC% and bone volume to total volume values (bone volume %). The relationships between ISQ values and the histomorphometric output were assessed, and then, the osseointegration prediction model via the initial ISQ values was processed. RESULTS: Initial ISQ values showed significant correlation with the BIC%. The bone volume % did not show any significant association with the ISQ values. CONCLUSION: In the limitation of this study, resonance frequency analysis is a useful clinical method to predict the BIC% values and examine the implant stability.

OBJECTIVETo study the microstructue of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and the attachment and proliferation of MG63 osteoblast-like cells on the membrane.

METHODSADM was experimental group and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane was control group. Light microscope and scanning electronic microscope (SEM) were used to observe the microstructure of the two kinds of membrane. MG63 osteoblast-like cells were cultured on the two kinds of membrane and the blank group. The cell viability was checked by cell viability analyzer (CVA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected by ELISA. SEM was used to observe the adhesion and proliferation of the MG63 osteoblast-like cells on the two kinds of membrane.

RESULTSThe ADM was composed of the tissular side and basal lamina side. The tissue side showed scale-shaped structure and the basal lamina side demonstrated many digitations and some pores of folliculus pili. The e-PTFE showed many tiny lined cracks in elliptic structure. The viability of the MG63 osteoblast-like cells on the two kinds of membranes and ALP measurement showed that there was no significant difference between each of the two membrane groups and the blank. The adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast-like cells on the two kinks of membranes were both well.

CONCLUSIONADM has no negative effects on the growth of osteoblast-like cells. ADM is biocompatibile and its microstructure is appropriate for guided bone regeneration materials.
