The Effect of Low-Processing Temperature on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Bovine Hydroxyapatite Bone Substitutes.

ABSTRACT: Bovine bone grafts (BBX) require protein removal as part of the manufacturing process to reduce antigenicity and, in consequence, to be safely used in humans. Deproteinisation may have direct effects on the characteristics of the bone material and on in vivo material performance. This research aimed to comprehensively study the physicochemical and mechanical properties of BBX processed at low deproteinisation processing temperatures. Cubes of bovine bone (8 mm³) were treated with temperatures between 100 °C and 220 °C at 30 °C intervals and with pressures ranging from 1.01 to 24.58 Bar. The samples were characterised topographically and mechanically using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and uniaxial bending tests. The organic content and the chemical composition were determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FTIR were also used to quantitatively determine the specimen crystallinity. Increasing temperature/pressure was associated with decreasing protein levels and compressive strength and increasing surface irregularities and crystallinity. The findings suggest that low-temperature processed bone is likely to exhibit a rapid in vivo degradation rate. The deproteinisation temperature can be adjusted to tailor the graft properties for specific applications.

Project description:Large oral bone defects require grafting of bone blocks rather than granules to give physically robust, biocompatible and osteoconductive regeneration. Bovine bone is widely accepted as a source of clinically appropriate xenograft material. However, the manufacturing process often results in both reduced mechanical strength and biological compatibility. The aim of this study was to assess bovine bone blocks at different sintering temperatures and measure the effects on mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Bone blocks were divided into four groups; Group 1: Control (Untreated); Group 2: Initial boil for 6 h; Group 3: Boil 6 h followed by sintering at 550 °C for 6 h; Group 4: Boil 6 h followed by sintering at 1100 °C for 6 h. Samples were assessed for their purity, crystallinity, mechanical strength, surface morphology, chemical composition, biocompatibility and clinical handling properties. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey's tests for normally distributed and Friedman test for abnormally distributed quantitative data from compression tests and PrestoBlue™ metabolic activity tests. The threshold for statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The results showed that higher temperature sintering (Group 4) removed all organic material (0.02% organic components and 0.02% residual organic components remained) and increased crystallinity (95.33%) compared to Groups 1-3. All test groups (Group 2-4) showed decreased mechanical strength (MPa: 4.21 ± 1.97, 3.07 ± 1.21, 5.14 ± 1.86, respectively) compared with raw bone (Group 1) (MPa: 23.22 ± 5.24, p <0.05), with micro-cracks seen under SEM in Groups 3 and 4. Group 4 had the highest biocompatibility (p < 0.05) with osteoblasts as compared to Group 3 at all time points in vitro. Clinical handling tests indicated that Group 4 samples could better withstand drilling and screw placement but still demonstrated brittleness compared to Group 1. Hence, bovine bone blocks sintered at 1100 °C for 6 h resulted in highly pure bone with acceptable mechanical strength and clinical handling, suggesting it is a viable option as a block grafting material.
