The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of fresh frozen homologous and autogenous grafts, associated or not with autogenous bone marrow, to form bone. Sixty titanium cylinders were used, and were fixed to the skulls of 30 rabbits. These cylinders were filled with (A) autogenous bone (AM) autogenous bone associated with the bone marrow (H) fresh frozen homologous bone (HM) fresh frozen homologous bone associated with the bone marrow (M) pure autogenous bone marrow and (C) blood clot. The animals were sacrificed after 02 and 03 months. After clinical evaluation, the samples were stained with hematoxylin, eosin and Mallory Trichrome dyes for optical microscopy analysis and histomorphometric analysis. Experimental groups that received mineralized materials (A, AM, H, HM) showed the best bone formation results, presenting no statistical difference between them (P > 0.05). Groups that did not receive mineralized materials (M and C) showed the worst results (P < 0.05), but the M group showed better results than the C group. Most of the autogenous and homologous bone particles were resorbed and there was a larger amount of residual particles in the homologous graft (H, HM) when compared with the autogenous graft (A, AM; P < 0.05). These findings suggest that fresh frozen homologous grafts produced similar amounts of new bone when compared with the autogenous grafts. However, the amount of residual bone particles was larger in the homogenous groups, which may indicate a slower remodeling process. The homologous fresh frozen bone seems to be a good osteoconductive material. The use of only autogenous bone marrow showed better results when compared to the bood clot. However, this research indicates that association with mineralized materials is required.
The purpose of this study was to conduct a histomorphometric analysis of bone marrow-derived and adipose tissue-derived stem cells, associated with a xenograft block, in vertical bone constructions in rabbit calvaria. Ten rabbits received two xenograft blocks on the calvaria, after decortication of the parietal bone. The blocks were fixed with titanium screws. The blocks were combined with the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) group (right side of the calvaria) or with the adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the adipose tissue stem cell (ATSC) group (left side of the calvaria). After 8 weeks, the animals were sacrificed and their parietal bones were fixed in 10% formalin for the histomorphometric analysis. The following parameters were evaluated—newly formed bone (NFB), xenogeneic residual particles (XRP), and non-mineralized tissue (NMT). The histomorphometric analysis revealed 11.9 ± 7.5% and 7.6 ± 5.6% for NFB, 22.14 ± 8.5% and 21.6 ± 8.5% for XRP, and 65.8 ± 10.4% and 70.8 ± 7.4% for NMT in groups BMSC and ATSC, respectively, with statistically significant differences in the NFB and the NMT between the groups, but no differences in the XRP. Therefore, it can be concluded that the bone marrow-derived stem cells seem to have more potential for the bone formation than do the adipose tissue-derived stem cells when used in combination with the xenogenous blocks in the vertical bone construction.
The constant advancement of ceramic systems, influencing the equilibrium of a highly aesthetic material with satisfactory resistance properties, together with the advances and successes of the adhesion systems, are increasingly encouraging patients who seek an aesthetic solution with longevity.Careful planning based on refined diagnostic waxes, with cross-information with complete photographic planning, shows that it is.It is possible to carry out a great rehabilitation with great predictability and safety in details that make a total difference in the final result. In this case report we show a total harmonization of the smile of a young patient who was very satisfied with the results obtained.
