Perio Flashcards
Describe regeneration cascade of bone
Inflammation; blood clot
Fibroplasia; granulation tissue
Mineralisation; woven bone
Remodelling; lamellar bone
What does bone regeneration depend on?
Signalling molecules
- cytokines
- prostaglandins, leukotrienes
- growth factors
- hormones
What is req. for successful bone regeneration?
Cells: osteoprogenitor + inflammatory Scaffold: blood clot Blood supply Signalling molecules Mechanical stability
Define biomaterial
NIH: A substance or combination of substances, synthetic or natural, which can be used for any period of time, which augments or replaces partially/totally a lost tissue/organ/function in order to maintain/improve QoL
Define: biocompatible, biotolerable, bioinert, bioactive, biodegradable
Biocompatible: no toxic/immunological response when exposed to host
Biotolerable: way in which tolerated materials are separated from host tissue by formation of fibrous tissue
Bioinert: no chemical reaction + tolerated (doesn’t exist)
Bioactive: materials that can form chemical bonds w/ bone
- bone tissue connnects to material promoting coating by bone cells
Biodegradable: degrade/solubilise/absorb over T when in contact w/ body
Describe osteogenesis
New bone synthesis by donor cells derived from either host/graft material
Cells: mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts/cytes
Transplants: autologous iliac bone, marrow grafts
Describe osteoinduction
Bone formation by differentiation of local uncommitted connective tissues -> bone-forming cells under influence of 1/+ inducing agents
Moderated by:
- GFs: platelet derived factor, bone morphogenetic proteins
- interleukins
- fibroblast GF
- angiogenic factors: vascular endothelial GF
Transplants: demineralised bone matrix, autologous bone grafts
Describe osteoconduction
Implanted scaffold passively allows ingrowth of host capillaries, perivascular tissue + mesenchymal stem cells
Microscopically: similar structure to cancellous bone
Transplants: all
Ideal properties of bone graft material
Osteogenic, osteoinductive, osteoconductive Structurally similar to bone Angiogenicity Nontoxic, non-antigenic Optimal mechanical properties Readily + sufficiently available Resistant to infection Min. surgical procedure + min. post-op sequalea Predictable Completely replaced by host bone of same quantity + quality Cost effective Easy to use + manipulate
Types of bone grafts
Autograft: same individual
Allograft: different individual, same species
Xenograft: different species
Alloplastic: synthetic
What factors may impact incorporation of graft?
Vascularity Infection Foreign material Malnutrition Drugs/Systemic condition
Discuss autografts
IO/EO harvesting sites
Forms: particulated, bone blocks
Origin
- intramembranous
- endochondral
Differences b/w cancellous + cortical autograft
Cortical
- excellent structural integrity + mechanical properties
- limited osteoblasts/cytes + progenitor cells
— = low osteogenic/inductive potential
- slower to incorporate cf cancellous
Cancellous
- high conc. osteoblasts/cytes = better osteogenic potential
- large trabecular surface encourages revascularisation
- little mechanical support
Dis/adv of autografts
Adv
- gold standard: osteogenic/inductive/conductive
- biocompatible
Disadv
- 2 surgeries
- inc. op T
- limited quantity
- donor site morbidity: infection, pain, cosmetic
Discuss allografts
Forms: cortical, cancellous, highly processed bone derivatives
Osteoinductive/conductive Antigenicity risk red. by - freezing - radiation - chemicals
Discuss different types of allografts
Fresh Bone
- highly antigenic
- limited T to test immunogenicity/diseases
Fresh-frozen Bone
- less antigenic
- stored -80°
- preserves biomechanical properties
- red. risk disease transmission; donor screening, aseptic processing
De/mineralised Freeze-Dried Bone
- red. antigenic
- protein alterations = red. mechanical properties
- demineralised: inc. bone morphogenetic proteins = more osteoinductive potential
Dis/adv of allografts
Adv
- unlimited quantity
- no donor site morbidity
- red. surgical T
Disadv
- risk: rejection, disease
- ethical + religious concerns
- red. osteogenic/inductive properties
Discuss xenografts
Processed to make less antigenic + prevent infection -> lose osteogenic/inductive potential
Forms: particulated, bone blocks
Sources: bovine, porcine, equine, natural coral
Discuss demineralised bovine bone mineral
Xenograft
Bovine bone processed to natural bone w/o organic component
HA skeleton retains microporous/macroporous structure of cortical/cancellous bone
Chemical + physically similar to human mineral matrix
V low resorption rate
Safety: proteins removed, 100% crystalline HA
Dis/adv of xenografts

Disadv
- only osteoconductive
- remain in defect for years
Why are membranes req. for bone regeneration?
Prevent ingrowth of epithelial cells thus allowing time for bone + PDL to re-establish
Principles for successful bone regeneration
PASS Primary wound closure - membrane must not be exposed - red. mechanical + infection insult - red. epithelialisation + collagen contraction
Angiogenesis
Space Creation + Maintenance
- bone substitutes for space maintenance
- autograft gold standard to avoid collapse of membrane
Stability of wound
- initial adhesion of blood clot to defect + wound stabilisation crucial
- acts as scaffold rich in growth factors
Ideal properties of membrane material
Biocompatible
Biological activity; actively promote bone regeneration
Easy handling
Space making + maintaining
Cell occlusion/porosity: prevent down growth of tissue but allow nutrients through
Biodegradable: no 2nd surgery
Red. complications
Compare properties of non/resorbable membranes
Non-resorbable
- biocompatible
- biologically active
- space making + maintaining
- cell occlusion/porosity
- poor handling
- req. 2nd surgery
- if exposed will become infected
Resorbable
- biocompatible
- biologically active
- easy handling
- cell occlusion/porosity
