Engineering of bone using porous calcium phosphate cement and bone marrow stromal cells for maxillary sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement in goats.
Tissue Engineering. Part A 2012 July
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of maxillary sinus floor elevation and simultaneous dental implantation with a tissue-engineered bone complex of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds combined with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). A large animal goat model is used with the tissue engineering method. Eighteen bilateral maxillary sinus of nine goats were randomly allocated into three groups; the CPC/BMSC complex (n=6) was used to elevate maxillary sinus floor with a simultaneous implant placement; the effects were compared with those treated with CPC alone (n=6) or autogenous bone (n=6). After a healing period of 3 months, sequential triad-color fluorescence labeling, micro-CT, as well as histological and histomorphometric analyses indicated that the tissue-engineered BMSC/CPC complex could promote earlier bone formation and mineralization, and maximally maintain the volume and height of the augmented maxillary sinus. By comparison, CPC-alone or autogenous bone achieved less bone formation and later mineralization. Besides, the average bone-implant contact value reflecting the osseointegration was 35.63%±9.42% in the BMSCs/CPC group, significantly higher than 22.47%±4.28% in the CPC-alone group or 28.26%±8.03% in the autogenous bone group. In conclusion, CPC serves as a potential substrate for BMSCs for the maxillary sinus floor augmentation and simultaneous implantation. The tissue-engineered bone might enhance the stability of implants and thus be of great significance to achieve improved quality to restore the oral function in clinic.
