PDF (892KB) ( 232 )

Objective: To evaluate the influence on the osseointegration of delayed implantation of dental implant with Bio-Oss artificial bone following tooth extraction. Methods: The bilateral 3rd and 4th mandibular premolars of 6 adult, healthy, male and female dogs were extracted. We randomly selected 2 extraction sockets in each dog to be filled with Bio-Oss (the experimental group); the other 2 extraction sockets which were not treated served as the control group. Dental implants were inserted into the alveolar bone of the experimental group and the control group 3 months after Bio-Oss placement. The osteogenic activity in the bone around the implants was assessed by evaluating the histological morphology and estimating histomorphometric parameters 3 and 6 months after delayed implantation. Results: After the 3 months, Goldner's trichrome staining analysis showed that the bone-implant contact rate and mineralized bone area around the implant were significantly higher in the experimental group (75.98%±8.97% and 69.52%±9.63%, respectively) than those in the control group (56.13%±8.18% and 52.82%±7.25%, respectively, P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the 2 groups after 6 months. Conclusion: These data indicate that alveolar ridge preservation by using Bio-Oss placement can promote osseointegration of delayed implantation, and may be a promising option for clinical use.

2015, 31(1): 15-17.

Abstract ( 475 )

PDF (1309KB) ( 975 )

Objective: To explore the feasibility of using the alizarin red/ alcian blue double staining to observe the whole development of mouse mandible. Methods: Alcian blue and alizarin red solution were used to double stain the E15.5, E16.5, E18.5 and P90 mouse mandibular skeleton. We observed the whole development of mandible, especially focused on the Meckel's cartilage and condylar cartilage. Results: The bone and cartilage could be stained as red or blue respectively. The morphology of the developmental mandible could be clearly observed under the stereo microscope. The Meckel's cartilage was not tightly connected to the surrounding tissues. The condylar cartilage was independent of the Meckel's cartilage, and was tightly connected to the mandibular periosteum. Conclusion: Using the alizarin red/alcian blue double staining could successfully observe the whole development process of mouse mandible. The Meckel's cartilage may not directly take part in the bone formation of mandible, and the condylar cartilage may originate from the mesenchymal cell in tail end of mandible.

Abstract ( 203 )

PDF (1094KB) ( 330 )

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of mandibular reconstruction used vascularized iliac crest and fibular flap, and to compare their advantages and disadvantages. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 44 patients who underwent mandibular reconstruction, 20 patients with iliac crest and 24 with free fibula. The results of contour and function, complications of recipient and donor sites were analyzed according to the clinical data and follow-up. Results: All flaps survived. There was no significant difference for contour and function between the vascularized iliac crest flap and free osteofasciocutaneous fibula flap, but the length of graft bone had significant discrepancy between iliac crest and fibula. Conclusion: The two graft bones could meet the needs of the various types of mandibular defects, but it must have an option for the different site and range of mandibular defect and soft tissue defect between iliac crest flap and fibular flap. For defect whose length was less than 8cm, priority can give to iliac bone, but for defect greater than 8cm fibula flap should choose.
