摘要
We investigated the osteogenic characteristic and biodegradation behavior of porous beta-tricalcitum phosphate ( β- TCP ) and bone morphogenetic protein/beta-tricalcium phosphate ( BMP/ β- TCP ) complex in mandibular reconstruction and evaluated the advantages of BMP / β- TCP complex in repairing bone defects. Bone defects created in the lower margin of bilateral mandible bodies in 12 rabbits were repaired with β- TCP ( control group ) and BMP/ β- TCP complex ( experimental group ) respectively. The rabbits were euthanized after 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks and examined by macroscopy, radiography, histology, histomorphometry and image analysis. 2 weeks after surgery, ossftcation of newly-generated tissue in BMP/ β- TCP complex group appeared and after 12 weeks, massive new bone and ossification maturation were seen. However, in β- TCP group without BMP , ossification was not found until 12 weeks after operation. Image analysis showed that bone regeneration rate of BMP/ β- TCP was 30%-40% higher and the degradation rate was 20%- 30% higher than that of β- TCP. Therefore, as a reconstructive material for bone defects, BMP/ β-TCP complex is superior to β-TCP and can be used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
