ABSTRACT
The capacity of a commercially available pool of bovine bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) to stimulate osteogenesis in the rat alveolar healing was investigated by histometric analysis. Male rats were anesthetized and had their upper incisor extracted. A pool of purified bovine BMPs adsorbed to microgranular resorbable hydroxyapatite was agglutinated with bovine collagen and saline before implantation into the alveolar socket. The implanted and control rats (n=30 per group) were sacrificed 1 to 9 weeks postoperatively, the hemi-maxillae were decalcified, processed for paraffin embedding and semi-serial longitudinal sections were obtained and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The volume fraction of alveolar healing components was estimated by a differential point-counting method in histologic images. The results showed that in both, control and implanted rats, the alveolar healing followed the histologic pattern usually described in the literature. Quantitative data confirmed that the BMPs mixture did not stimulate new bone formation in the alveolar socket of implanted rats. These results suggest that the pool of BMPs adsorbed to hydroxyapatite and agglutinated with bovine collagen did not warrant incorporation of the osteoinductive proteins to a slow-absorption system that would allow a BMPs release rate compatible to that of new bone formation, and thus more adequate to osteoinduction.
RESUMO
No presente trabalho analisou-se histometricamente a capacidade de um material de origem nacional em estimular o reparo ósseo alveolar de ratos. Uma mistura de BMPs bovinas purificadas adsorvidas à hidroxiapatita microgranular absorvível foi aglutinada com colágeno bovino e soro fisiológico e implantada na cavidade de extração de incisivos superiores. Os ratos implantados e controles (n=30 por grupo) foram sacrificados após 1, 2, 3 e 9 semanas, as hemi-maxilas contendo os alvéolos em reparação foram descalcificadas e processadas para inclusão em parafina e obtenção de cortes semi-seriados, corados com hematoxilina e eosina. O volume percentual de tecido ósseo reparacional foi estimado por um método de contagem diferencial de pontos, em imagens histológicas analisadas sob uma ocular contendo um retículo com 100 pontos eqüidistantes. Nos ratos controles e implantados o reparo seguiu o padrão descrito na literatura. No grupo implantado, o material não estimulou o reparo ósseo alveolar em nenhum dos períodos analisados. Os resultados sugerem que a mistura de BMPs adsorvidas à hidroxiapatita microgranular absorvível não tenha garantido sua incorporação a um sistema carreador de absorção lenta que propiciasse sua liberação num ritmo compatível com o da neoformação óssea, portanto, adequado à osteoindução.
