- The present study was undertaken to evaluate the healing pattern of xenogenic demineralized dentin onlay grafts in comparison with autogenous bone grafts to the rabbit tibia.Eight 6-month-old New Zealand male rabbits were used in the experiments. Standardized sized dentin blocks from human premolars and similar autogenous bone blocks harvested from tibia were grafted as onlay blocks on each tibia (n = 8 × 2). All animals were killed after a healing period of 12 weeks.Healing was uneventful for all animals. In general, both the dentin and bone block grafts were fused to the bone, resorbed, and replaced by bone and connective tissue to a varying degree. Both types of grafts were still present after 12 weeks, on an average to approximately one third of the original sizes. Resorption cavities could be seen in the dentin with bone formation. Zones of osseous replacement resorption of the dentin could be noted. In both graft types, higher rate of bone formation was seen at the interface between graft and recipient site.Demineralized xenogenic dentin onlay grafts showed similar resorption characteristics as autogenous bone onlay grafts, being resorbed in a similar rate during 12 weeks. New bone formation occurred mainly in terms of replacement resorption in the interface between dentin/bone graft and native bone.

- This experiment was conducted to study the histologic feasibility and biologic impact of Ti02 impregnation of an extracellullar matrix (ECM) membrane in guided bone regeneration. Eighteen adult New Zealand White rabbits were used. Bilateral bone defects were created in edentulous areas of the maxilla. The defects were filled with demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB). ECM was randomly pretreated with a suspension containing saline and 3 mg Ti02 granules. A regular ECM membrane served as a control on the contralateral side. Healing periods were 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed. The parameters assessed were (1) zone of inflammatory cells adjacent to ECM membrane, (2) presence of cellullar ingrowth into ECM, and (3) presence of Ti02 particles within the ECM barrier membrane. In general, no adverse reactions toward both groups of ECM membranes could be noted. The Ti02 particles remained within the ECM after 8 weeks of healing, making histologic detection of ECM easy. Histomorphometric analysis revealed low numbers of inflammatory cells adjacent to the ECM surface and adequate preservation and integration of the barrier. Contrasting Ti02 particles impregnated into the ECM membrane can be a very useful tool for the detection of similar biologic materials in in vivo models.

- Dentoalveolar ankylosis with osseous replacement is often seen after replantation of avulsed teeth, and this process may be used for preservation of alveolar crests after trauma. Its exact mechanisms with regard to osteoinductive properties are not yet fully understood and need to be systematically investigated. Dentin can possibly act as a slow-releasing carrier of bone morphogenic proteins (BMP), and this property of dentin has been proposed to be used as an alternative or supplement to bone grafting in the maxillofacial region. We aimed to initially asses host tissue reactions to dentin by implanting dentin blocks of autogenic and xenogenic human origin in rabbit connective tissue of the abdominal wall and femoral muscle. Animals were sacrificed after a period of 3months, and histological processing, sectioning and examinations were carried out. Bone formation, cell counts and thickness of capsule surrounding the grafts were evaluated. Only minor signs of heterotopic bone formation were seen. There were no significant differences between autografts and xenografts or grafts implanted in connective tissue or muscle with regards to tissue reactions except for a significant difference (P=0.018) in findings of more local inflammatory cells in relation to grafts placed in connective tissue in the autograft group. We conclude that during the time frame of this study, non-demineralized dentin, whether autogenous or xenogenic did not have the potential to induce bone formation when implanted in non-osteogenic areas such as the abdominal wall and abdominal muscle of rabbits.
