Q

Describe the osteoinductive PRPs

A

Platelet Rich Plasma
- used for bone, ligament and tendon healing
- centrifuging the patient’s blood to separate out and obtain a gel-like concentration of growth facts
- PRP injected in and around the surgical site

18
Q

The BMPs that play a role in bone healing belong with which family

A

TGF-beta superfamily

19
Q

Describe osteoinductive growth factors

A
  • naturally occurring and are prominent at various phases of the healing process
20
Q

What happens when PDGF is combined with tricalcium phosphate

A

An osteoinductive and conductive substrate is produced

21
Q

What is osteoconductive DBM

A

Processed allograft - lacks mineralization but retains growth factors and collagen

22
Q

Describe how DBM is prepared

A
  • combinations of acids or detergents/solvents
  • antibiotics and freeze dryin
23
Q

Is DBM osteoconductive or osteoinductive

A

Can be both osteoconductive and osteoinductive

24
Q

What is the disadvantage of sterilizing DBM with gamma irradiation, formaldehyde and/or ethylene oxide prep?

A

It will strip the osteoinductive properties of DBM

25
Q

What is one benefit of DBM

A

It comes in many forms: gel, putty, sheets and chips, different strengths and pliability

26
Q

What are the most common materials for osteoconductive Calcium based bioceramics

A
  • hydroxyapatite **
  • tricalcium phosphate **
  • ceramics
  • fibrillation collagen
  • and/or coralline hydroxyapatite
27
Q

What are the two important considerations for osteoconductive calcium based bioceramics

A
  • calcium-phosphate ratio
  • Pore size of the graft
28
Q

Why is the calcium-phosphate ratio of calcium based bioceramics important

A
  • it dictates the rate of absorption
  • when filling a bone void, the rate of resorption cannot exceed the rate of bone deposition because that will destroy our scaffolding
29
Q

What is the ideal and most widely accepted resorption to bone deposition ratio

A

1.5 - 1.67

30
Q

Why is pore size of the calcium based bioceramics graft important

A
  • pore size is critical to allow influx of appropriate cells and growth factors and subsequent osteogenesis
31
Q

What is the idea pore size of calcium based bioceramics graft that have yielded better angiogenesis and healing

A

300 micrometers or greater

32
Q

What is one benefit of using calcium sulfate and calcium phosphate in combination as a bone graft

A

Greater compressive strength

33
Q

Which bone graft may be combined with antibiotics to treat infections while serving as a filler?
What does that mean for Autogenous graft?

A

Bioceramics
Decreases the need for Autogenous graft

34
Q

What is the advantage of using bioceramics combined with antibiotics over polymethylmethacrylate beads

A

Bioceremics are absorbable and does not need removal

35
Q

What is osteoconductive bioglass made of

A

Calcium
Phosphorous
Silicon dioxide

36
Q

Which graft has osteoconductive and osteointegrative properties

A

Bioglass

37
Q

What is the importance of the osteoconductive and osteointegrative properties of the bioglass

A

Binding with hydroxyapatite forming a scaffold for healing, which is subsequently resorbed

38
Q

What is the importance of the calcium phosphate deposition from bioglass

A

Attracts osteoblasts which results in electrical bone growth stimulation

39
Q

Which bone graft has intrinsic antomicrobial activity due to the additional bactericidal activity from its components

A

Bioglass - possible enhance bone tissue regeneration

40
Q

What is a key feature of Osteogenic MSCs

A

Can differentiate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts

41
Q

What is a common source of osteogenic MSCs

A

bone marrow aspirate (BMA)
- tibia using jamshidi or syringe

42
Q

What is BMA containing MSCs typically combined with

A

DBM or calcium-based bioceramics - to get all three components we’re looking for

43
Q

What is the risk associated with allogenic MSCs

A

Cross-reactivity

44
Q

Is the chance of cross-reactivity in allogenic MSCs high

A

Studies show low potential for rejection as well as high content of viable cells at time of implantation with resultant osteogenesis
