- Abstract:
- The aim of the present split-mouth study in sheep was to assess the influence of in situ hardening properties of a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone graft substitute (BGS) (ratio hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate = 60/40) compared with a particulate BGS with the same biphasic core-granule composition without in situ hardening properties on sinus floor augmentation. Therefore, bilateral sinus floor augmentation was performed in eight sheep. Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-coated, in situ hardening biphasic BGS (PLGA-NMP [N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone]-BCP) was placed at the test site, and a particulate biphasic BGS without PLGA coating (BCP) was used for the contralateral site as a control. Animals were sacrificed after 21 weeks. Sinus augmentation sites were analyzed histologically. The volume was analyzed by computed tomography. Histomorphometric parameters were assessed for the 12 and 21 weeks' time points. Slopes of new bone formation over time were compared with a linear growth regression model. Bone formation after 12 and 21 weeks of healing was 8.94% (±3.74) and 19.82% (±6.29) for PLGA-NMP-BCP and 7.00% (±2.58) and 14.38% (±4.51) for BCP, respectively. The bone growth rate for PLGA-NMP-BCP was higher than the growth rate for BCP (probability 97.5%). The total fraction of calcified hard tissue (% bone fraction + % biomaterial) was around 46% for both tested biomaterials, 21 weeks after sinus floor augmentation. The in situ hardening BGS (PLGA-NMP-BCP) performed better than the particulate material (BCP) in terms of bone formation rate. The in situ hardening properties of the PLGA-NMP-BCP material mediated by the PLGA coating and NMP solution as plasticizer had no negative influence on the bone formation.
