Obtenção e caracterização de suporte de regeneração óssea de dióxido de titânio

Due to complications caused by metallic implants in the replacement of bone tissue, the biological application of ceramics raised and became a viable alternative. The titania has the ability to promote bone tissue regeneration based on its structure, mechanical and biologically properties compatibility. The present work aims at obtaining and characterization of Titania (TiO2) porous ceramics produced by the polymeric sponge method (replica method). Polyurethane sponge with 10 ppi and 15 ppi (pores per linear inch) were used. The process differentiation is the air blower used to remove excess slurry. The ceramics sponges were dried in an oven, then pre-sintered at 1000 o C and sintered at 1450 o C. The effect of direct sintering at 1450 o C was also assessed. The percentage of solids used to prepare the slurry was 40 to 45% by weight. To increase the surface porosity of the sponge, 20% of starch was added. There was difficulty on controlling the thickness of the slurry layers on the sponge which resulted in the variation of samples mechanical resistance. Despite this, the results obtained are quite promising for the proposed use, indicating that it is possible to obtain titania sponges with an apparent porosity of around 60%, a bulk density ranging from 40 to 47% and a compressive strength resistance – that with better control of layers depositions – can vary from 1 to 4 MPa

Uso do soro autólogo condicionado e do plasma rico em plaquetas na terapia ortopédica de equinos

Musculoskeletal injuries that occur in horses during sports activities are often disabling and require a long period of treatment and rehabilitation, most resulting in scar tissue, predisposing to recurrence. In search of more effective therapies and tissue regeneration, studies have been carried out with blood derivatives - platelet rich plasma and autologous conditioned serum. In spite of both being blood-derived therapies, platelet rich plasma and autologous conditioned serum are distinct products, with equally distinct indications for their use. Platelet rich plasma shows promising results in ligament and tendon injuries in clinical and experimental trials. This occurs also in osteoarticular lesions with both hemoderivates, autologous conditioned serum and platelet rich plasma. This review aims to present clinical and experimental studies (in vivo and in vitro) in the equine species, as an aid for an appropriate therapeutic choice, when hemoderivates are considered for treatment of musculoskeletal lesions.

Reconstruction of alveolar bone defect with autogenous bone particles and osseointegrated implants: histologic analysis and 10 years monitoring

Maintaining the volume of the alveolar process after extraction can be achieved by immediate implant placement and guided bone regeneration, with or without the use of biomaterials. The authors present a case report with a 10 years follow-up, rehabilitation using osseointegrated implants in the extraction area and maintenance of the volume of the alveolar process with autogenous cortical bone shavings.

An alternative maneuver to treat gingival recession

This article reports a clinical case in which was applied autologous bone graft associated with subepithelial connective tis- sue graft, harvested by gingivectomy procedure with technical modifications to increase gingival graft extension, also to be used as guided tissue regeneration, to treat a single gingival recession. After 1 year and 2 months of follow-up, the cover- age of the recession was 4.0 mm, which corresponded to the gain of attached keratinized gingival tissue. An increase in the gingival tissue thickness was observed, without significant probing depth. The procedures applied to treat this case may be biologically and clinically useful to treat gingival recession.

Regeneração óssea guiada com o uso de matriz óssea bovina desmineralizada em defeitos ósseos experimentais em cães

Background: The principles of tissue regeneration to repair alveolar bone defects are based on the fabrication of a biologic barrier with different biomaterials. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the guided bone regeneration (GBR) by using membrane of demineralized bovine bone matrix (DBBM) on experimental defects in tibia of dogs. Methods: Four dogs were used and after anesthesia, shaving and antisepsis, two standardized bone defects were created on the right tibia of each animal with trephine drill. In the Control Group, the defects were filled with blood coagulum, while in the Treated Group, a membrane of DBBM was used to cover the defects. After 90 days, animals were sacrificed. Results: In the Treated Group, 67.4% of new bone formation was observed and, in the Control Group, 32.6% of the bone tissue reabsorbed when compared with initial bone volume. The membrane remained intact and no inflammatory tissue was observed on membrane/ bone interface. Conclusion: It was concluded that the use of DBBM is an osteoconductive material, presents biocompatibility and may be promise option to repair bone defects.

Localized periodontal disease induced by bacterial plaque and palatal radicular groove: treatment and considerations

The palatal radicular groove is a morphological tooth defect, which act as local predisposing risk factor favoring accumulation of the bacterial plaque, permitting microbial invasion via root groove way, directly into periodontal structures. A patient diagnosed with palatal radicular groove and a localized periodontal disease was treated by procedures to control bacterial action and procedures to eliminate local predisposing risk factor. To treat the periodontal bone defect a sequelae of periodontal disease, a guided tissue regeneration technique was applied by using allograft and xenograft materials associated with a resorbable demineralized bovine cortical bone membrane. The objective of surgical regenerative procedure was to recover the periodontal tissues nearly as they were before periodontal disease destruction.
