Osteoblasts allograft

Osteoinduction, and/or osteoconduction, and antibacterial characteristics are prerequisites for achieving successful bone grafting. This study aimed to coat bone allografts with silver nanoparticles and assess their antibacterial activity and biocompatibility compared to uncoated bone allografts. In this study, the bone allografts were coated with varying concentrations of silver nanoparticles (5 mg/l, 10 mg/l, and 50 mg/l) through a simple adsorption technique. Subsequently, the coated samples underwent characterization using SEM, FTIR, EDS, and XRD...

Critically-sized segmental bone defects represent significant challenges requiring grafts for reconstruction. 3D-printed synthetic bone grafts are viable alternatives to structural allografts if engineered to provide appropriate mechanical performance and osteoblast/osteoclast cell responses. Novel 3D-printable nanocomposites containing acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) or methacrylated AESO (mAESO), polyethylene glycol diacrylate, and nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) were produced using masked stereolithography...

Bone fracture healing is a complex biological process involving four phases coordinated over time: hematoma formation, granulation tissue formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodelling. Bone fractures represent a significant health problem, particularly among the elderly population and patients with comorbidities. Therapeutic strategies proposed to treat such fractures include the use of autografts, allografts, and tissue engineering strategies. It has been shown that bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) has a therapeutic potential to enhance fracture healing...

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis often leads to progressive destruction and loss of alveolar bone, the reconstruction of which remains difficult in periodontal therapy. As a novel bone graft material, tooth-derived bone substitute (TDBS) processed from extracted teeth has been previously reported about its osteoconductivity and promising results in bone regeneration. This study was to investigate the biological effects and bone regeneration properties of TDBS in vitro and in vivo using rat periodontal bone defect model...

BACKGROUND: Reduced alveolar ridge volume is an often consequence after tooth loss, compromising implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation. The digital customization of bone block allografts (BBA) is an alternative that incorporates advantages such as intimate contact with the recipient bed, increasing graft stability and reduced surgical time. In addition, enamel matrix derivate (EMD) has attracted interest for its effect on osteogenic gene expression and cell adhesion; few studies have focused on the benefits of bone regeneration with EMD...

Treatments for congenital and acquired craniofacial (CF) bone abnormalities are limited and expensive. Current reconstructive methods include surgical correction of injuries, short-term bone stabilization, and long-term use of bone grafting solutions, including implantation of (i) allografts which are prone to implant failure or infection, (ii) autografts which are limited in supply. Current bone regenerative approaches have consistently relied on BMP-2 application with or without addition of stem cells. BMP2 treatment can lead to severe bony overgrowth or uncontrolled inflammation, which can accelerate further bone loss...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term effectiveness of uncemented allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) for reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection. METHODS: Between June 2007 and March 2014, 21 patients who underwent uncemented APC reconstruction of proximal femur after tumor resection were retrospectively evaluated. There were 9 males and 12 females with an average age of 33.2 years (range, 19-54 years). There were 9 cases of giant cell tumor of bone, 5 cases of osteosarcoma, 4 cases of osteoblastic osteosarcoma, 2 cases of chondrosarcoma, and 1 case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma...

INTRODUCTION: Horizontal alveolar bone loss hinders dental implant placement. Reconstruction of alveolar deficiency is mandatory to establish an ideal foundation for implant-supported prosthetic restoration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the regenerated bone following anterior aesthetic zone reconstruction with allogenic bone shell and autogenous chips. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 15 deficient sites in the aesthetic zone were treated using allograft bone shells, which were fixed away from the alveolar ridge using microscrews, and the created gap was filled with autogenous chips harvested intraorally using a bone scraper...

BACKGROUND: In terms of large bone defects reconstructions, massive bone allografts may sometimes be the only solution. However, they are still burdened with a high postoperative complication rate. Our hypothesis is that the immunogenicity of residual cells in the graft is involved in this issue. Decellularization by perfusion might therefore be the answer to process and create more biologically effective massive bone allografts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 72 porcine bones were used to characterize the efficiency of our NaOH-based decellularization protocol...

Immobilization using external or internal splints is a standard and effective procedure to treat minor skeletal fractures. In the case of major skeletal defects caused by extreme trauma, infectious diseases or tumors, the surgical implantation of a bone graft from external sources is required for a complete cure. Practical disadvantages, such as the risk of immune rejection and infection at the implant site, are high in xenografts and allografts. Currently, an autograft from the iliac crest of a patient is considered the "gold standard" method for treating large-scale skeletal defects...

BACKGROUND: Tumor-devitalized autografts treated with deep freezing, pasteurization, and irradiation are biological reconstruction methods after tumor excision for aggressive or malignant bone or soft tissue tumors that involve a major long bone. Tumor-devitalized autografts do not require a bone bank, they carry no risk of viral or bacterial disease transmission, they are associated with a smaller immunologic response, and they have a better shape and size match to the site in which they are implanted...

The requirements for bone substitute materials are multifaceted. Beside biomechanical stability, these materials should provide osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties to promote integration into the host tissue. So far, autologous bone is the only material, which combines all properties, but is naturally limited. Allogenic bone grafts have to be decellularized prior to implantation. This causes the reduction of biomechanical properties and the loss of osteoinductive qualities. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) offers a gentle alternative for processing and supply of allogenic bone substitute materials while preserving biomechanical integrity...

As a Natural decellularized extracellular matrix, osteochondral tissue is the best scaffold for the restoration of osteoarthritis defects. Bioscaffolds have the most similarly innate properties like biomechanical properties and the preserved connection of the bone-to-cartilage border. Although, their compacity and low porosity particularly, are proven to be difficulties of decellularization and cell penetration. This study aims to develop a new bioscaffold of decellularized osteochondral tissue (DOT) that is recellularized by bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), as a biphasic allograft, which preserved the interface between the cartilage section and subchondral bone of the joint...

INTRODUCTION: Allografts are the most common bone grafts for repairing osseous defects. However, their use is associated with an increased risk for infections, donor disease transmission and osteointegration deficiency. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous lipid with a scientifically proven pivotal role in inflammation resolution and osteoclastogenesis inhibition. Yet, its biological relevance as a potential bone regenerative drug has been scarcely studied. Here, we aim to investigate the RvD1 effect on allograft osteointegration in the alveolar bone regeneration (ABR) murine model...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate, after a six-month healing period, the histological and histomorphometric results of mineralized bone allograft used in lateral sinus augmentation procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one pneumatized maxillary sinuses with residual bone height ≤ 4 mm were grafted with a mixture of 1/1 cortical and cancellous mineralized bone allograft using lateral sinus floor elevation. Six months later, during implant placement, a core biopsy was retrieved for histological and histomorphometric evaluation...

BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma of the scapula is extremely rare. Hence, there is no consensus regarding its optimal management. In this study, we report the demographics, characteristic features, and outcomes of scapulectomy with or without scapular allograft reconstruction in a series of patients with primary scapular osteosarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients with primary scapular osteosarcoma who were treated by scapulectomy with or without scapular allograft reconstruction (five and seven patients, respectively) were included...

Periodontal regeneration through the employment of bone substitutes has become a feasible strategy in animal and clinical studies. In this regard, we aimed to compare the periodontal ligament stem cell behavior in the vicinity of various bone grafting substitutes. Three types of popular bone substitutes, including allografts (Regen), xenografts (Cerabone), and alloplasts (Osteon) were studied in this experimental survey. The cellular attachment was assessed after four hours using the MTS assay and SEM imaging...

Bone regeneration or restoration is a series of well-ordered physiological activities that occur throughout a person's life, they are continuously being repaired and remodeled. A conventional bone repair procedure, such as autograft and allograft bone transplant, has failed to address bone reconstruction disputes and complexity. On the other hand, Tissue Engineering is a potential therapy option for repairing rather than replacing the damaged tissue. Biomaterials in bone tissue engineering (BTE) help pave the way for damaged tissues as an artificial extracellular matrix, facilitating new tissue growth...

Insufficient bone regeneration is a common issue for patients with extensive bone damage, therefore the use of allografts is required. With increasing life expectancy, there is a higher risk of bone repair issues after fractures or orthopedic surgical intervention. We studied incorporation and remodeling of structural allografts in critical size metaphyseal femur defects in 52 rats aged 3-month-old and 12-month-old who underwent surgeries creating a bone defect, which was either filled with a structural allograft (3-month-old - 3moAllo; 12-month-old - 12moAllo) or left empty (3-month-old - 3moE; 12-month-old - 12moE)...
