Osteogenesis of mineralized collagen bone graft modified by PLA and calcium sulfate hemihydrate: In vivo study
In this study, the biocompatibility and bone regeneration performance of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen/poly(L-lactide)(nHAC/PLA) and nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen/calcium sulfate hemihydrate (nHAC/CSH) as bone-filling materials were evaluated and compared in a critical box-shaped defect model in the mandible of the rabbits. In vivo results indicated that there was significant difference in early bone remodeling between two types of bone substitutes. nHAC/PLA has shown excellent iocompatibility, but no adequate handling properties. The addition of CSH to nHAC provided better manipulability
compared to nHAC/PLA. Furthermore, nHAC/CSH possesses superior properties in restoring critical-sized
bone defects of maxillofacial region at the early stage of remodeling over nHAC/PLA. Our results suggested that nHAC/CSH could be an alternative to the conventionally used bone tissue engineering materials.
