Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate bone formation in rat calvarial defects after surgical implantation of block or particulated biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) lyophilized with Escherichia coliderived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (ErhBMP-2). Critical-size calvarial osteotomy defects were created in 5 groups of Sprague-Dawley rats. Each group received one of the following: 1) sham surgery control; 2) biphasic calcium phosphate particles (CPP); 3) biphasic calcium phosphate block (CPB); 4) ErhBMP-2coated CPP; or 5) ErhBMP-2coated CPB. ErhBMP was coated on BCP by a stepwise lyophilizing protocol. The new bone formation was significantly greater in ErhBMP-2treated groups compared with the untreated group. In particular, the ErhBMP-2/CPB group showed stability of augmented areas during the period of healing, due to relevant space-providing capacity. Thus, it can be concluded that CPP and CPB lyophilized with ErhBMP-2 enhance the formation of new bone, and CPB appears to be a suitable carrier for ErhBMP-2 in which a 3-dimensional structural integrity is an important consideration factor.
