Abstract

Even though conventionally prepared octacalcium phosphate and collagen composite (OCP/Col) has exhibited excellent bone regeneration and has recently been commercialized for treating bone defects, reproducible appositional bone formation with OCP/Col has never been achieved. The present study investigated whether appositional bone formation could be achieved by altering the density of OCP/Col and applying liquid nitrogen during the preparation of OCP/Col. The prepared OCP/Col disks had eight variations and were divided into categories according to four different type of densities (1.0, 1.3, 1.7, and 2.0) of OCP/Col and two different pre-freezing conditions of gas phase (G group: −80°C) and liquid phase (L group: −196°C). These disks were implanted into subperiosteal pockets in rodent calvaria, five samples per each eight variations. Radiomorphometric analysis was conducted at 4 and 12 weeks after implantation, and histological analysis was conducted at 12 weeks after implantation. OCP/Col samples in the L group tended to retain their height and shape and had enhanced appositional bone formation, whereas OCP/Col samples in the G group tended to lose their height and shape and had limited appositional bone formation. The appositional bone formation increased along with growing density of OCP/Col, and L2.0 demonstrated higher appositional bone formation than other samples. These results suggest that the pre-freezing conditions and densities of OCP/Col affect the appositional bone formation.
