Abstract (original English)

Background The aim of this histomorphometric study was to assess the bone regeneration potential of beta-tricalcium phosphate with fibronectin (β-TCP-Fn) in critical-sized defects (CSDs) in rats calvarial, to know whether Fn improves the new bone formation in a short time scope. Material and methods CSDs were created in 30 Sprague Dawley rats, and divided into four groups (2 or 6 weeks of healing) and type of filling (β-TCP-Fn, β-TCP, empty control). Variables studied were augmented area (AA), gained tissue (GT), mineralized/non mineralized bone matrix (MBM/NMT) and bone substitute (BS). Results 60 samples at 2 and six weeks were evaluated. AA was higher for treatment groups comparing to controls (p Conclusions Both β-TCP biomaterials are effective as compared with bone defects left empty in maintaining the volume. GT in defects regeneration filed with β-TCP-Fn are significantly better in short healing time when comparing with controls but not for β-TCP used alone in rats calvarial CSDs.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.
