The effect of piezosurgery with cvd tip in osteotomy in rat parietal bone: histologic and histomorphometric analysis / O efeito da piezocirurgia com ponta cvd em osteotomia no osso parietal de ratos: estudo histológico e histomorfométrico

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar histológica e histomorfometricamente o efeito da piezocirurgia com ponta CVD em osteotomia realizada no osso parietal de ratos, comparativamente com a resposta do tecido ósseo frente ao protocolo padrão de osteotomia com brocas de tungstênio em baixa rotação. Material e Métodos: Defeitos foram feitos nos ossos parietais de 20 ratos Wistar machos, usando a ponta CVD e broca. Após 3, 7, 14 e 28 dias cinco animais foram sacrificados em cada período e o osso contendo os defeitos submetidos às análises histológica e histomorfométrica. Os resultados obtidos da histomorfometria foram submetidos à análise estatística RM ANOVA com nível de significância de α = 0,05. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos ainda ao teste de comparação múltipla de Tukey. Resultados: A piezocirurgia promoveu corte preciso e mais lento com menos perda óssea, menor sangramento durante a cirurgia, favorecendo condições para uma reparação mais rápida em comparação com o método tradicional de osteotomia. Os resultados mostraram que nos períodos analisados diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os dois tipos de tratamento (p <0,05). Poucas células inflamatórias, formação óssea rápida, ferida cirúrgica limpa no grupo experimental em todos os períodos. Conclusão: A utilização da piezocirurgia com ponta CVD provou-se válida para a osteotomia, com cortes mais precisos, menos danos aos tecidos, resposta inflamatória menos pronunciada e formação óssea mais rápida nos primeiros períodos quando comparada com a broca de tungstênio em baixa velocidade...

The aim of this study was to compare the response of bone tissue in osteotomy under piezosurgery using a CVD tip in rat parietal bone in contrast with the standard protocol using lowspeed tungsten burs. Material and Methods: A bone defect model was created in parietal bone of 20 male Wistar rats using CVD tip and drill. Five animals were sacrificed after 3, 7, 14 and 28 days and bone containing the defects was submitted to the histologic and histomorphometric analysis. The results of histomorphometry were statistically analyzed using RM ANOVA with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results were still subjected to Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Results: The results showed statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two types of treatment in the analyzed periods. Piezosurgery promoted slower and more precise cut with less bone loss and less bleeding during surgery, promoting conditions for a faster repair compared to the traditional method of osteotomy, fewer inflammatory cells, faster bone formation and cleaner surgical wound in the experimental group in all periods. Conclusion: The use of CVD tip in piezosurgery was proven to be valid for osteotomy, with more precise cuts, less tissue damage, less fewer pronounced inflammatory response and faster bone formation in the early healing periods when compared with low-speed tungsten burs...

Histomorphometric, radiographic and biomechanical analyses of platelet rich plasma associated with autogenous bone graft / Efeito do plasma rico em plaquetas associado ao enxerto autógeno na tíbia de coelhos: estudo histomorfométrico,radiográfico e biomecânico

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet rich plasma with and without autogenous bone graft in the bone repair of surgical defects in rabbit tibias. Material and Methods: In this research, 25 adult male rabbits were used. Two defects have been performed in each tibia, divided into four groups: control (C = defect naturally left to heal by clot formation), autogenous (A = bone defect + autogenous graft), PRP (PRP = bone defect + PRP) and autogenous + PRP (PRPA = bone defect + autogenous graft + PRP). All the defects were covered with a dPTFE membrane. Five other animals were sacrificed at 15, 30, and 60-day postoperatively. The pieces containing the defects were processed for histological and histomorphometric analysis. Other five animals were sacrificed after 30 and 60 days and submitted to biomechanical analysis, and all the specimens were sent to the radiographic evaluation of optical density. Results: The biomechanical, radiographic, and histomorphometric results showed larger resistance, optical density, and improving bone formation in the groups A and PRPA when compared with the groups C and PRP. Conclusion: This study showed there was not an improvement in the radiographic, mechanical, and bone formation parameters when PRP was used individually or associated to the autogenous bone graft...

Objetivo: O propósito deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do plasma rico em plaquetas associados ou não ao enxerto ósseo autógeno no processo de reparação óssea em defeitos cirúrgicos confeccionados na tíbia de coelhos. Material e Métodos: Nesta pesquisa foram utilizados 25 coelhos adultos, nos quais foram realizados 2 defeitos em cada tíbia, divididos nos seguintes grupos de acordo com o tratamento: controle (C - defeito preenchido somente por coágulo sangüíneo), autógeno (A - defeito + enxerto), PRP (PRP = defeito + PRP) e autógeno + PRP (PRPA - defeito + enxerto + PRP). Todos os defeitos foram recobertos com uma barreira de PTFE e decorridos 15, 30 e 60 dias, 5 animais foram sacrificados por período, sendo as peças contendo os defeitos processadas para análises histológica e histomorfométrica. Outros 5 animais foram sacrificados aos 30 e 60 dias e submetidos à análise das propriedades biomecânicas e todos os espécimes foram submetidos ao exame radiográfico para análise da densidade óptica. Resutados: Os resultados biomecânicos, radiográficos e histomorfométricos mostraram maior resistência, densidade óptica e maior formação óssea nos grupos A e PRPA quando comparados com os grupos C e PRP. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos possibilitaram concluir que não houve uma melhora nos parâmetros radiográficos, mecânicos e na neoformação óssea quando o PRP foi usado isoladamente ou associado ao enxerto ósseo autógeno...

Fresh-frozen human bone allograft in vertical ridge augmentation: clinical and tomographic evaluation of bone formation and resorption.

The aim of the current study is to evaluate fresh-frozen human bone allografts (FHBAs) used in vertical ridge augmentation clinically and by computed tomography, and to analyze the resulting bone formation and graft resorption. Sixteen FHBAs were grafted in the maxillae and mandibles of 9 patients. The FHBAs, which were provided by the Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank of Marilia Hospital (Unioss), were frozen at -80°C. After 7 months, dental implants were placed and bone parameters were evaluated. Vertical bone formation was measured by computerized tomography before (T0) and at 7 months (T1) after the surgical procedure. Bone graft resorption was measured clinically from a landmark screw head using a periodontal probe. The results were analyzed by Student's t-test. Significant differences existed in the bone formation values at T0 and T1, with an average change of 4.03 ± 1.69 mm. Bone graft resorption values were 1.0 ± 0.82 mm (20%). Implants were placed with varying insertion torque values (35-45 Ncm), and achieved primary stability. This study demonstrates that FHBAs promote satisfactory vertical bone formation with a low resorption rates, good density, and primary implant stability.

Biocompatibility of a chlorhexidine local delivery system in a subcutaneous mouse model.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed evaluating histologically and histomorphometrically the response of the conjunctive tissue face to the implant of chlorhexidine chips in the subcutaneous tissues of rats. STUDY DESIGN: In this research 35 male rats Wistar were used to analyze the biocompatibility and the degradation process of chlorhexidine chip. In each animal, it was made 2 incisions for subcutaneous implantation of chlorhexidine chip (test group) and a polytetrafluorethylene membrane (control group). The morphological changes in subcutaneous implantations were assessed after 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 days. The data were submitted to Friedman nonparametric test to analyze the comparisons among observation periods and to allow the comparison among groups. RESULTS: Differences were found in the analysis of the inflammatory response when comparing the tested materials (p values ≤ 0.05). In test group was observed hemorrhage, edema and intense inflammatory infiltrate predominantly neutrophilic around material. From 3-day and subsequent periods was verified granulation tissue externally at this infiltrate. From 10-day on was observed crescent area of degradation of chlorhexidine chip, associated with neutrophilic and macrophagic infiltrate, that maintained until 21-day. In the control group, moderate inflammatory infiltrate was observed initially, predominantly polymorphonuclear, edema and granulation tissue 3-day period. The inflammatory infiltrate was gradually replaced for granulation tissue, culminating in a fibrous capsule. Giant multinucleate cells situated at contact interface with the coating was examined since 3-day and persisted until 21-day. CONCLUSION: The chlorhexidine chip induces an intense acute inflammatory response at subcutaneous tissue of rats. Therefore, at conditions of this study was not biocompatible.

AbstractObjective: The purpose of this study was to research a membrane material for use in guided bone regeneration.Study design: In this study, 25 male Wistar rats were used to analyze the biocompatibility and degradation processof biomembranes. The morphological changes in subcutaneous implantations were assessed after 7, 14, 21, 28 and70 days. The materials were made of polyurethane polymer (AUG) obtained from vegetal oil (Ricinus communis)and polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFE). The surface characteristics of the physical barriers in scanningelectronic microscopic (SEM) were also evaluated. Results: In both groups, the initial histological analysis showedmoderate inflammatory infiltrate, which was predominantly polymorphonuclear. There was also a presence ofedema, which was gradually replaced by granulation tissue, culminating in a fibrous capsule. In the AUG group,some multinucleated giant cells were present in the contact interface, with the space previously occupied by thematerial. However, membrane degradation was not observed during the period studied. According to the presentSEM findings, porosity was not detected in the AUG or PTFE membranes. Conclusion: The researched material isbiocompatible and the degradation process is extremely slow or may not even occur at all (AU)

Guided bone regeneration with subperiosteal implants of PTFE and hydroxyapatite physical barriers in rats.

Regeneration of periodontal and alveolar ridge defects utilizing membranes is a well-established procedure in reconstructive surgery. Biomaterial characteristics and membrane design employed in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques play an important role in good results. The purpose of this histologic experimental study in rats was to compare the use of two physical barriers in the osteopromotion by using GTR principles in bone defects created in tibias. Fifteen animals divided into 3 groups were used: group I (non-porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) barrier), group II (coral hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks), and group III (defects that received no physical barrier). Histological examination showed varied amounts of newly formed bone beneath both types of barriers. The non-porous PTFE barrier showed better results than the HA group. The results of this study suggest that bone regeneration can be successfully enhanced by a submerged membrane technique.
