Ridge preservation applying a novel hydrogel for early angiogenesis and osteogenesis evaluation: an experimental study in canine.

ABSTRACT: Ridge preservation is universally acknowledged as the conventional method for the post-extraction healing yet there are no standard materials for the ideal healing outcome. Herein, a composite gel comprising gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) and injectable platelet-rich-fibrin (i-PRF) as the potential candidate for extracted socket healing is introduced. The combination of GNPs and i-PRF not only possesses favorable mechanical properties to withstand external force but also accelerate the blood clotting time significantly. In addition, six beagle dogs were adopted to assess the angiogenic and osteogenic capacity of GNPs+i-PRF gel in vivo. The GNPs+i-PRF gel significantly produced the most blood vessels area, woven bone and low osteoclast activity in extracted sockets at 2 weeks postoperation and remarkably generated corticalization on the alveolar ridge crest at 8 weeks postoperation according to histological results. Therefore, GNPs+i-PRF gel can be recommended as the candidate grafting material regarding ridge preservation for its cost effectiveness, excellent biocompatibility, facilitation of blood clotting and favorable capacity of promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare two ridge preservation techniques and spontaneous healing in terms of hard and soft tissue changes 2 months after tooth extraction.Material and methodsThe study was designed as a randomized controlled trial and included 75 patients. After single tooth extraction in the maxillary incisor/premolar area, patients were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: (a) ridge preservation with a xenogeneic bone substitute covered with a collagen matrix (CM-group), (b) ridge preservation with a xenogeneic bone substitute covered with a free palatal graft (PG-group) or (c) spontaneous healing (control). Eight weeks after tooth extraction, implants were placed and clinical, profilometric and radiographic evaluations were performed. In addition, the need for further guided bone regeneration (GBR) at implant placement was assessed. The differences between the treatment groups were compared with the One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test with the corresponding post hoc analysis. The proportions of the categorical parameters were compared with the Fisher´s exact test.ResultsSeventy-five patients underwent early implant placement 8 weeks after tooth extraction and were evaluated. CM-group (-0.9 SD 0.6 mm) and PG-group (-1.0 SD 0.8 mm) showed less horizontal bone resorption compared to the control group (-3.2 SD 2.1 mm) (p < .001). Moreover, the necessity of GBR at implant placement was significantly less in CM-group (32%) and PG-group (24%) when compared to control group (72%) (p = .001). Patients in CM-group experienced less pain than PG-group, one week after tooth extraction (p = .042). No significant differences were found regarding graft evaluation, post-operative complications, and soft tissue contour.ConclusionsRidge preservation using a xenogeneic bone substitute covered with a collagen matrix or a palatal graft, results in less bone resorption and fewer GBR procedures at early implant placement compared to spontaneous healing.

Project description:Background/Objectives: Collagen-agarose hydrogel blends currently used in tracheal graft bioengineering contain relatively high concentrations of collagen to withstand mechanical stresses associated with native trachea function (e.g., breathing). Unfortunately, the high collagen content restricts effective cell infiltration into the hydrogel. In this study, we created an improved hydrogel blend with lower concentrations of collagen (<5 mg/mL) and characterized its capacity for fibroblast invasion and angiogenesis. Methods: Four collagen-agarose hydrogel blends were created: 1 mg/mL type 1 collagen (T1C) and 0.25% agarose, 1 mg/mL T1C and 0.125% agarose, 2 mg/mL T1C and 0.25% agarose, and 2 mg/mL T1C and 0.125% agarose. The hydrogel surface was seeded with fibroblasts, while both endothelial cells and fibroblasts (3:1 ratio) were mixed within the hydrogel matrix. We assessed early angiogenesis by observing fibroblast migration and endothelial cell morphology (elongation and branching) at 7 days. In addition, we performed immunostaining for alpha-smooth muscle actin (aSMA) and explored the gene expression of various angiogenic markers (including vascular endothelial growth factor; VEGF). Results: Gels with lower agarose concentrations (0.125%) with 1 or 2 mg/mL T1C were more effective in allowing early attachment and migration of surface-applied fibroblasts compared to gels with higher (0.25%) agarose concentrations. The low-agarose gels also allowed cells to quickly adopt a spread morphology and self-assemble into elongated structures indicative of early angiogenesis, while demonstrating positive immunostaining for aSMA and increased gene expression of VEGF by day 7. Conclusions: Hydrogel blends with collagen and low agarose concentrations may be effective in allowing early cellular infiltration and angiogenesis, making such gels a suitable cell substrate for use in the development of composite bioengineered tracheal grafts. The collagen-agarose hydrogel blend is meant to be cast around a three-dimensional (3D) printed polycaprolactone support structure and wrapped in porcine small intestine submucosa ECM to create an off-the-shelf bioengineered tracheal implant.
