Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that bone morphogenetic proteins play a key role in skeletal development. Platelet-rich plasma alone in animal or clinical trials cannot significantly promote bone graft healing.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the osteogenesis effect of bone morphogenetic protein-4 compounded with platelet-rich plasma the bone defect area.
METHODS: Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were selected to establish maxillary bone defect models, and then were randomly divided into four groups, six rats in each group. Group A was blank control group; Group B was β-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide group; group C was β-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide+ platelet-rich plasma (1 mL) group; and group D wasβ-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide+platelet-rich plasma (1 mL)+bone morphogenetic protein-4 (5 μg). Gross observation, histological observation and imaging analysis were performed for analysis of new bone formation at weeks 4, 8, 12 after modeling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 4 weeks, group D had more new bone and vessels formed in the bone defect area than the group B (P < 0.01); however, the amount of new bone was higher in the group B than the group A (P < 0.01). After 4, 8, 12 weeks, the amount of new bone in the bone defect area was higher in the group D than the groups B and C (P < 0.01), and lowest in the group A (P < 0.01). In the β-tricalcium phosphate scaffold, platelet-rich plasma combined with bone morphogenetic protein can significantly promote the healing of bone defects.
