Purpose: The aim of the present study was (1) to test whether or not the application of an in situ formed synthetic hydrogel, made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as a resorbable membrane for guided bone regeneration, will result in more amount of bone regeneration compared with an uncovered defect and (2) to evaluate if it can prevent the soft-tissue ingrowth into alveolar defects. Materials and Methods: Two critical size defects were created in seven Wistar rats. In the right side, an in situ formed hydrogel PEG membrane (Straumann MembraGel) was applied into the defect and the left one was kept empty as a control. After 60 days, animals were sacrificed and the calvarial bone was removed. The area of newly formed bone was determined by histomorphometrical analysis. For statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney-U test was applied to model the amount of new bone formation. Results: The quantitative histomorphometric analysis obtained a percentage of newly formed bone for the test defects of 61,8% +/-22,2% and 53,8% +/-22,9% in the control group. The observed differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions The experimental PEG membrane was biocompatible and prevented soft-tissue ingrowth. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups.

Abstract In this study, the effects of guided bone regeneration (GBR) on the healing of bone defects were evaluated. Resorbable membranes were placed in experimentally formed cavities in the right posterior tibia of 30 rabbits. Decalcified histological sections were evaluated using optical microscopy at 10, 20, and 30 days after GBR. Osteocondrial bone union, active bone formation and spongiosal bone formation values of the GBR group are higher than the control group. It was found that GBR technique had a positive and accelerating influence in all phases of bone healing. Citation Aslan M, Şimşek G, Dayi E.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effects of right sciatic nerve compression and cryotherapy on muscle tissue. Methods: We used 42 male Wistar rats, subdivided in the following Groups Control, Injury 3, Injury 8 and Injury 15 submitted to nerve compression and euthanized in the 3rd, 8th and 15th day after surgery. The Cryotherapy Injury 3 was entailed treatment with cryotherapy by immersion of the animal in recipient for 20 minutes during 1 day, then animals were euthanized at the 3rd day after surgery, and the Cryotherapy Injury 8 and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 was treated for 6 days, and euthanized at the 8th and 15th day after surgery. Functional evaluation was performed by the grasping strength of the right pelvic limb. The right tibialis anterior muscles were evaluated for mass, smaller diameter and cross-sectional area. In the Cryotherapy Injury 8 and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 groups, the hydroxyproline was dosed in the right soles. Results: In the compression there was a significant difference in the Injury Groups compared with the Control Group (p<0.05). In the smaller diameter, the compression in Control Group was higher than Injury 8 (p=0.0094), Injury 15 (p=0.002) and Cryotherapy Injury 15 (p<0.001) groups. The comparison between groups with euthanasia in the same post-operative period, a significant difference (p=0.0363) was seen in day 8th after surgery, and this result in Cryotherapy Injury Group was greater than Injury Group. In the fiber area, Control Group was also higher than the Injury 8 (p=0.0018), the Injury 15 (p<0.001) and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 (p<0.001). In hydroxyproline, no significant difference was seen between groups. Conclusion: Nerve damage resulted in decreased muscle strength and trophism, the cryotherapy delayed hypotrophy, but this effect did not persist after cessation of treatment.

Several treatment modalities have been proposed to regenerate bone, including guided bone regeneration (GBR) where barrier membranes play an important role by isolating soft tissue and allowing bone to grow. Not all membranes biologically behave the same way, as they differ from their origin and structure, with reflections on their mechanical properties and on their clinical performance. Collagen membranes have been widely used in medicine and dentistry, because of their high biocompatibility and capability of promoting wound healing. Recently, collagen membranes have been applied in guided bone regeneration with comparable outcomes to non-resorbable membranes. Aim of this work is to provide a review on the main features, application, outcomes, and clinical employment of the different types of collagen membranes. Comparisons with non-resorbable membranes are clarified, characteristics of cross-linked collagen versus native collagen, use of different grafting materials and need for membrane fixation are explored in order to gain awareness of the indications and limits and to be able to choose the right membrane required by the clinical condition.

Guided bone regeneration is defined as controlled stimulation of new bone formation in a bony defect, either by osteogenesis, osteoinduction, or osteoconduction, re-establishing both structural and functional characteristics. Bony defects may be found as a result of congenital anomalies, trauma, neoplasms, or infectious conditions. Such conditions are often associated with severe functional and esthetic problems. Corrective treatment is often complicated by limitations in tissue adaptations. The aim of the investigation was to compare histologically the amount of bone formed in an experimentally created parietal bone defect protected with one or two polytetrafluoroethylene membranes with a contralateral control defect. A bony defect was created bilaterally in the parietal bone lateral to the sagittal suture in 29 6-month-old male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into two groups: (1) In the double membrane group (n=9), the left experimental bone defect was protected by an outer polytetrafluoroethylene membrane under the periosteum and parietal muscles and an inner membrane between the dura mater and the parietal bone. (2) In the single membrane group (n=20), only the outer membrane was placed. The right defect was not covered with any membrane and served as control. The animals were killed after 30 days. None of the control defects demonstrated complete or partial bone regeneration. In the single membrane group, the experimental site did not regenerate in 15 animals, partially in four, and completely in one. In the double membrane group, six of the experimental defects had complete closure with bone, two had partial closure, and one no closure. The use of two membranes protecting the bone edges of the parietal defect from the overlying tissues and underlying brain enhanced bone regeneration in experimental calvarial bone defects. The biologic role of the dura mater may not be of critical importance in new bone regeneration in these calvarial bone defects.

Abstract To evaluate the clinical efficacy of concentrated growth factors (CGFs) combined with mineralized collagen (MC) in guided bone regeneration (GBR). A retrospective study involving 29 patients treated with GBR technique, which was performed either CGF and MC complexes or MC alone. Implants were inserted simultaneously and cone-beam computed tomography was taken immediately, at 3 and 6 months postoperation. Questionnaires were completed by all patients so as to evaluate the main symptoms and daily activities during the first week after surgery. The outcomes of the two groups were statistically compared. All implants healed uneventfully. Patients in both groups suffered from different levels of discomfort for the reason of swelling, pain and chewing impairment on 1–2 days. Meanwhile, swelling of the Trial group was weaker than the Control group. When compared with the Control group, pain levels in Trial group were more rapidly reduced and patients took fewer analgesics from Day 3. Furthermore, the reconstitution mean value of the graft was thicker at 3 and 6 months in Trial group. CGFs complex with MC were beneficial to relieve the clinical symptoms, promote the peri-implant bone regeneration and shorten the healing time.

This case report presents a treatment of peri-implantitis associated with a pre-existing pathology. Peri-implantitis around implant #19 was detected from pus discharge upon probing. Guided bone regeneration was performed to treat the peri-implantitis with the administration of antibiotics. The histopathologic evaluation of soft tissue taken from the circumferential defect around the implant exhibited a cyst. The postsurgical CBCT and the follow-up radiograph confirmed the maturing bone graft and a reduced size of the defect around the implant.
