Pre-treatment of granular osteoplastic material for improving the reparative regeneration of jaw bone defects

Abstract

Aim – to develop a method for preliminary preparation of a granular osteoplastic material (GOM) for improving the quality of reparative osteogenesis of jaw bone defects that can be used in clinical setting.
 Material and methods. The in vitro study was performed using 9 samples (3 samples in each study group). Group 1 included intact samples of grafting material Cerabone (Botiss biomaterials GmbH, Germany). In group 2, the samples of Cerabone (Botiss biomaterials GmbH, Germany) were subject to degassing and dust extraction in two stages using the original method developed by the author. In group 3, a culture of mesenchymal-stromal cells (MSC) obtained from the human umbilical cord was used as a control. The developed method was assessed for cytotoxicity using human MSC. The proliferative index and cell doubling time were registered. A topographic analysis of the sample surface was performed using scanning electron microscopy. To assess the rate of degassing, the experiment included three replicates. The fluid volume was recorded every 2.5 minute. For statistical data processing, we used SPSS 25.0 software (IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York, USA).
 Results. In Group 2, that included the samples of GOM fractions with the preliminary degassing and dust extraction, we revealed a decreased content of coarse and fine fraction dust on the outer and inner surfaces of the pores and mouths of interpore channels and voids in all samples. The granular osteoplastic material prepared for the use by the method of degassing and dust extraction proved to have no toxic effect on the growth and viability of human mesenchymal-stromal cells.
 Conclusion. A preliminary preparation of GOM by the method of degassing and dust extraction developed by the author in clinical conditions ex tempore significantly optimizes the adsorption and drainage properties of the GOM fraction.
