Autogenous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Culture-Derived Signalling Molecules as Enhancers of Bone Formation...

Bone LossOsteoclastic5 more

This study aims to evaluate bone formation in grafts in terms of its quality (density), quantity (volume) and maturation obtained with the application of a tissue-engineered bone grafting compound containing concentrated autogenous cell-culture medium (CM) and a synthetic bone substitute. The present study was designed as an experimental prospective split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. After protocol approval by the Research Ethics Committee, a total of 20 consecutive participants in need of maxillary reconstruction aiming implant-supported oral rehabilitation will be invited to join the study. To collect autogenous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs), an outpatient lipoplasty procedure at the abdominal area of each patient will be performed. To isolate and expand hASCs from the lipoaspirate, specific cell culture protocols will be followed, resulting in cultured viable cells and their conditioned medium (CM). Cells and CM will be then separated by a sequence of filters and centrifugation, and isolated CM will be frozen. ELISA will analyze the presence of chemokines and their concentration in CM before grafting. Following pre-op surgical planning, both maxillary sinuses of each patient will be grafted internally applying a lateral window to each sinus. The bony floor of the test maxillary sinus will be augmented with synthetic bone substitute (BoneCeramic™ 1-2 mm) mixed with 10 to 15 ml of CM (test). The control site will receive bone substitute with saline. Lateral windows in both sinuses will be then closed with a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide™). After 6 months, first-stage implant surgery will be performed placing 6 implants in each patient. Registration of implant stability by manual torque wrench will be performed. Also, bone biopsies from each drilled implant site will be collected for histology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry (RT-PCR). Tomographic evaluation of the bone formation will include cone beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) at pre-operative [Baseline], 90 [T1] and 180 [T2 = implant placement] days for bone 3D image analysis.

Bone Response to Exercise and Energy Restriction in Young Adults

Bone ResorptionBone Loss

Cycling is commonly questioned whether it provides adequate mechanical strain on bone as many elite cyclists have been found to have a low bone mass. However, it remains unclear if this is due to cycling or low energy availability. In addition, acute dietary energy restriction has been found to be accompanied by an imbalance in bone remodelling with reduced bone formation. The objective of this proposal is to examine whether short-term energy restriction leads to changes in markers of bone formation and resorption at rest and in response to cycling in young adults. Specifically, the study will examine changes in circulating bone markers in 15 males and females (ages 18-24) both at rest and following one 45-minute spinning class both before and after one week of restricted energy intake. Blood will be drawn at rest (pre-trial, fasted), and 3 times post-trial (5 min, 1h and 24h); then analysed for biochemical markers of bone formation (BAP and OPG) and resorption (CTX and RANKL) to assess the impact of energy restriction on bone at rest and in response to exercise. This innovative work has potential to make significant advances in understanding tissue growth and development in response to exercise and malnutrition.

Four Locator Attachment Mandibular Overdentures

Bone Resorption

. There is little information on the degree of crestal bone loss around 4 inter-foraminal implant-retained mandibular overdentures (OVDs) and the amount of bone remodelling on the anterior maxilla and posterior mandibule on long-term function, particularly with different distributions.

Ph I/II of Vitamin D on Bone Mineral Density & Markers of Bone Resorption

Breast CancerBone Diseases

Aromatase inhibitors are potent suppressors of breast cancer growth, but side effects include bone loss, fractures, arthralgias and myalgias. We hypothesize vitamin D administration might be beneficial in treating these symptoms and to protect bone.

Computer-guided vs. Conventional Cortical Shell Technique for Horizontal Augmentation

Alveolar Bone ResorptionHorizontal Ridge Deficiency

this study aims to evaluate horizontal bone augmentation achieved at the anterior maxilla using computer-guided cortical shell bone technique and accuracy of fixation of the bone shell away from the atrophic ridge by a calculated distance which is always a challenging step for inexperienced surgeons to fix a cortical shell at the ideal position in the conventional protocol it was never guided to be precisely fixed at the proper position and angulation the problem is if it fixed with insufficient distance with proposed volume loss leads to totally insufficient volume gain for future implant placement also to evaluate the efficacy of the CAD/CAM surgical guide during chin harvesting procedures in reducing the risk of anatomical structure damage and patient morbidity with more accuracy compared with the standard technique. this trial versus free hand conventional cortical shell bone technique both harvested from symphysis area (chin).

Bioactive Glass and Platelet Rich Fibrin in Intrabony Defects

Periodontal DiseasesBone Resorption

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and bioactive glass putty has been shown to be effective in promoting reduction in probing depth, gain in clinical attachment, and defect fill in intrabony periodontal defects. The individual role played by bioactive glass putty in combination with PRF is yet to be elucidated. AIM: To compare the clinical effectiveness of the combination of Plaltelet Rich Fibrin and Bioactive Glass Putty and Bioactive glass putty regenerative techniques for intrabony defects in humans. Material and methods: Ten pairs of intrabony defects were surgically treated with PRF and Bioactive glass putty (Test group) on one side or bioactive glass putty (Control group) on other side. The primary outcomes of the study included changes in probing depth, attachment level and bone fill of Osseous defect. The clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months. Radiographic assessment was done using standardized intra oral periapical radiographs. Comparisions were made within each group between baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months using the ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni test.
