ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study was designed to investigate reconstruction of segmental defect in the mandible using a new bionic materials of nano-hydroxyapatite -polyainides-66 (n-HA/PA66).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two defects (15 mm x 10 mm x 5 mm) were created in the mandibular bodies of dogs. One of defects was reconstructed with n-HA/PA66, another not repaired as a blank control. At 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks after operation. Evaluation of effects of n-HA/PA66 on reconstruction of the mandibular defects was carried out by means of radiography and histology.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>From 2 to 8 weeks after operation, some fiber tissue grew into the space between n-HA/PA66 and mandibular bone. The ossification was observed at 12 weeks post-operation. At 16 weeks, the n-HA/PA66 was connected directly to the mandibular bone by the newborn bone.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The new artificial bone of n-HA/PA66 has the effects of osteoconduction and osteoinduction, with a good biocompatibility and is an ideal bone substitute material for reconstruction of mandibular defect.</p>
