Background: This study aimed to investigate new bone formation using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) and locally applied bisphosphonate in rat calvarial defects. Methods: Thirty-six rats were studied. Two circular 5 mm diameter bony defect were formed in the calvaria using a trephine bur. The bony defect were grafted with $Bio-Oss^{(R)}$ only (group 1, n = 9), $Bio-Oss^{(R)}$ wetted with rhBMP-2 (group 2, n = 9), $Bio-Oss^{(R)}$ wetted with rhBMP-2 and 1 mM alendronate (group 3, n = 9) and $Bio-Oss^{(R)}$ wetted with rhBMP-2 and 10 mM alendronate (group 4, n = 9). In each group, three animals were euthanized at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery, respectively. The specimens were then analyzed by histology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results: There were significant decrease of bone formation area (p < 0.05) between group 4 and group 2, 3. Group 3 showed increase of new bone formation compared to group 2. In immunohistochemistry, collagen type I and osteoprotegerin (OPG) didn't show any difference. However, receptor activator of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) decreased with time dependent except group 4. Conclusion: Low concentration bisphosphonate and rhBMP-2 have synergic effect on bone regeneration and this is result from the decreased activity of RANKL of osteoblast.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: It is known that an anodic oxidation technique, one of the methods for the implant surface treatment, remarkably increased surface area, enhanced wettability and accelerated the initial bone healing. Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the wettability of anodized titanium surface which has a nanotubular structure, to assess osseointegration after the placement of implant with nano-size tubes on tibia of rats and to analyze quantitatively transferable rhBMP-2 on each surface. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Four different kinds of surface-treated titanium discs (polished (machined surface) group, micro (blasting surface) group, nano (anodizedmachined surface) group, and nano-micro (anodized-blasting surface) group) were fabricated (n=10). Three different media were chosen to measure the surface contact angles; distilled water, plasma and rhBMP-2 solution. After a single drop (0.025 $m{\ell}$) of solution, the picture was taken with the image camera, and contact angle was measured by using image analysis system. For the test of osseointegration, 2 kinds of anodized surface (anodized-machined surface, anodized-blasting surface) implants having 2.0 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm in length inserted into the tibia of Wistar rats. After 3 weeks, tibia were harvested and the specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological analysis. To test the possibility of drug delivery, after soaking sample groups in the concentration of 250 ng/$m{\ell}$l of rhBMP-2 for 48 hours, the excess solution of rhBMP-2 were removed. After that, they were lyophilized for 24 hours, and then the rhBMP-2 on the surface of titanium was resolved for 72 hours in PBS. All the extracted solution was analyzed by ELISA. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the data. RESULTS: The wettability is improved by anodic oxidation. The best wettability was shown on the nano-micro group, and it was followed by nano group, micro group, and polished group. In the histological findings, all implants showed good healing and the new bone formation were observed along the implant surface. After 3 days, nano-micro group delivered the most amount of rhBMP-2, followed by nano group, micro group, and polished group. CONCLUSION: It indicated that anodic oxidation on blasting surface produce functionally graded nano-micro porous structure and enhance hydrophilicity of the surface and osseointegration. The findings suggest that the nano-micro porous structure could be a useful carrier of osteogenic molecules like rhBMP-2.

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2 ), a member of the TGF-${\beta}$ family, has been used widely in recent years to regenerate defects of the maxillary and mandible bones. Such defects are sometimes caused by resection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) yet the biologic effects of rhBMP-2 on these carcinomas are not fully clear. The objective of this study was to determine histologically whether rhBMP-2 produces adverse effects on angiogenesis during induction of OSCC, a biologic process critical for tumor formation in an experimental model in the buccal pouch of golden Syrian hamsters. Buccal cavities were exposed to painting with 0.5% DMBA in liquid paraffin three times a week for 14 weeks, then biopsies were taken. Division was into 2 groups: a study group of 10 hamsters receiving $0.25{\mu}g/ml$ of rhBMP-2 in the $3^{rd}$ and $6^{th}$ weeks; and a control group of 10 hamsters which did not receive any additional treatment. VEGF expression and microvessel density were measured but no differences were noted between the two groups. According to this study, rh-BMP-2 does not stimulate angiogenesis during induction of OCSSs.

Absorbable atelo-collagen sponge $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$, Termo Co. Tokyo, Japan) is inserted in the extraction wound where alveolar bone is exposed. It protects wounds and promotes the formation of granulation. This is made of atelo-collagen, to minimize antigenicity, which is cross-linked by heat treatment for biocompatibility. $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$ consists of between 85 and 95 % of collagen type I and between 5 to 15 % of collagen type III. The raw material for the collagen is derived from bovine skin. It features a sponge block design and is shaped for easy insertion in the extraction wound. This study was designed to find out the bone healing capacity of $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$. We implanted $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$ (experimental group I) and $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$ with rhBMP-2 (experimental group II) in the rabbit cranium defect and then histologically analysed the specimen. The results were as follows. 1. In the 4 weeks, a lot of the newly formed collagen fibers around material of the experimental group I implanted $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$ were observed. But, in the experimental group II implanted $TERUPLUG^{(R)}$ with rhBMP-2, a little of newly formed collagen fibers around material were observed. The cell proliferating activity and apoptosis of the experimental group I, II was positive in and around the implanted material. 2. In the 8 weeks, the amount of newly formed and matured bone in the experimental group II was more observed than the experimental group I and control group. The results of this study indicate that absorbable atelo-collagen sponge ($TERUPLUG^{(R)}$) is relatively favorable bone void filler with biocompatibility and has the better bone healing capacity in case of application with rhBMP-2.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2)-loaded synthetic bone substitute on implants that were simultaneously placed with sinus augmentation in rabbits. Methods: In this study, a circular access window was prepared in the maxillary sinus of rabbits (n=5) for a bone graft around an implant (${\varnothing}3{\times}6mm$) that was simultaneously placed anterior to the window. Synthetic bone substitute loaded with rhBMP-2 was placed on one side of the sinus to form the experimental group, and saline-soaked synthetic bone substitute was placed on the other side of the sinus to form the control group. After 4 weeks, sections were obtained for analysis by micro-computed tomography and histology. Results: Volumetric analysis showed that the median amount of newly formed bone was significantly greater in the BMP group than in the control group ($51.6mm^3$ and $46.6mm^3$, respectively; P=0.019). In the histometric analysis, the osseointegration height was also significantly greater in the BMP group at the medial surface of the implant (5.2 mm and 4.3 mm, respectively; P=0.037). Conclusions: In conclusion, an implant simultaneously placed with sinus augmentation using rhBMP-2-loaded synthetic bone substitute can be successfully osseointegrated, even when only a limited bone height is available during the early stage of healing.

Background: The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the effect of rhBMP-2 for repair of bone defects after cyst enucleation using the osteogenesis index (OI). Methods: Under general anesthesia, 10 patients (12 lesions) underwent oral or maxillofacial surgery for cyst enucleation. Postoperatively, 12 lesions were divided into two groups: group A (six lesions) was treated with absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) in combination with rhBMP-2, and group B (six lesions) was treated with ACS alone. After 3 months, cone-beam computed tomographic scans were obtained to measure changes in the volume of the lesions. We then calculated the OI of each group at two different Hounsfield units to determine any statistically significant difference between these two groups (Mann-Whitney U test). Results: As tested at the level of new bone, the mean OI was 72.37 % in group A and 55.08 % in group B -a statistically significant difference (p = 0.041). As tested at the level of mature bone, the mean OI was 27.47 % in group A and 18.88 % in group B, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.394). Conclusions: The application of rhBMP-2 after maxillofacial cyst enucleation accelerated new bone formation in the bone defects. Thus, the use of rhBMP-2 in combination with ACS may be considered an alternative to conventional bone grafting in some patients with postoperative bone defects.

Purpose: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2) has been evaluated as potential candidates for periodontal and bone regenerative therapy. In spite of good prospects in BMP applications, there is economically unavailable for clinical use in dental area. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the osteogenic effect of rhBMP-2 produced by E.coli expression system. Materials and methods: Eight-mm critical-size calvarial defects were created in 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 6 groups of 8 animals each. Each group received one of the following: Negative control(sham-surgery control), positive control(absorbable collagen sponge(ACS) alone) and experimental(ACS loaded with rhBMP-2). Defects were evaluated by histologic and histometric parameters following 2- and 8-week healing intervals. Results: The experimental group showed significant defect closure at 2 and 8weeks than the sham surgery and positive control groups. Moreover, the experimental group showed significantly greater new bone and augmented area than the other groups at both 2 and 8weeks. Conclusion: rhBMP-2 produced by E.coli expression system may be effective for bone regeneration.

The goal of Periodontal treatment is predictable periodontal regeneration. But until now, many products including GTR materials and growth factors are beyond of complete regeneration. BMP can induce ectopic bone formation when implanted into sites such as rat muscle and can greatly enhance healing of bony defects when applied exogenously. BMP can promote periodontal regeneration by their ability to stimulate new bone and new cementum formation. But little is known about optimal conditions required for the application. Root conditioning is used for bioacive root change so altered root surface provides a substrate that promotes chemotaxis, migration and attachment of peridontal cells encouraging connective attachment to the denuded root surface. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the acid conditioning change effect of rhBMP-2 on human periodontal ligament cell and osteoblast cell line. 288 periodontally involved root dentin slices are divided into 6 groups, each 48, 1)control, 2)treated with BMP, 3)treated with citric acid 4)treated with citric acid+BMP 5)treated with tetracycline 6)treated with TC+BMP. Each group was devided half, so 12 root dentin slices were seeded with periodontal ligament cells and 12 were seeded with osteoblasts. At day 2 and 7, cell number, protein assay, ALP activitiy was measured. To investigate morphology of cultured cells, SEM was employed. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 8.0 either t-test or ANOVA test. The results are ; Protein assay and cell number was slightly decreased in CA+BMP group compared to Ca group but it was not statistically significant and ALP activity was much more increased in CA+BMP group compared to CA group so there was no statistically significance between BMP and CA+BMP group and statistically significant compared to control group. Cell number and protein assay was slightly increased in TC group and ALP activity was much less the BMP group and CA group. Cell number and protein and ALP activity was not much increased in TC+BMP group. TC group and TC+BMP group showed cell morphology change in SEM. This results suggested that application of root surface with citric acid before BMP treatment might give better result in periodontal regeneration.

1년령의 중성화된 수컷 요크셔테리어와 7년령의 암컷 푸들이 골절의 지연유합으로 내원하였다. 요크셔테리어의 경우 오른쪽 요골과 척골의 원위부가 골절되었고, 푸들의 경우 왼쪽 경골과 비골의 원위부가 골절되었다. 두 환자에서 신체검사 및 방사선검사를 통해 골절의 유합이 지연되고 있음을 확인하였다. 골절부는 금속판 및 나사못으로 고정시키고 자가해면질골을 골절 틈새에 이식하였다. 또한 빠른 골유합을 위해 $20{\mu}g$의 rh-BMP 2 가 포함된 matrigel을 골절부에 주입하였다. 수술 후 방사선검사를 통해 골절부의 치유 상태를 확인하였다. 장기간의 방사선검사에서 두 마리 모두 빠른 골유합을 보였다. 첫 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 2주째에 요골과 척골 골절 틈새에 골밀도가 증가하였다. 20주째에는 골절선이 더 이상 관찰되지 않았으며, 정상 외관을 회복하였다. 두 번째 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 11주째에 골절 치유가 진행되고 있음이 확인되었다. 이 두 증례 모두 예상한 것보다 골절의 치유가 빠르게 일어났다. 따라서 rh-BMP 2와 matrigel은 지연유합된 골절의 치유를 촉진하는데 효과가 있다고 생각된다.
