Purpose: The aim of this experimental study is to observe the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on early bone regeneration of rats both in normal condition and in osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy. Material and methods: Total 40 Sprague-Dawley female rats were divided into 4 groups. A 8-mm-diameter calvarial critical-sized defect (CSD) was made by drilling with trephine at the center of calvaria in cranium of every rat. Every CSD was augmented with an osteoconductive synthetic alloplastic substitute ($MBCP^{TM}$) and PRP as follows. Group A; 10 non-ovariectomized rats grafted with only $MBCP^{TM}$. Group B; 10 non-ovariectomized rats grafted with $MBCP^{TM}$ and PRP. Group C; 10 ovariectomized rats grafted with only $MBCP^{TM}$. Group D; 10 ovariectomized rats grafted with $MBCP^{TM}$ and PRP. At 4 weeks after graft, every rat was sacrificed. And histomorphometric analysis was performed by measuring calcified area of new bone formation within the CSD. Results: Comparing four groups, results were obtained as follows. 1. In non-ovariectomized groups, PRP showed a positive effect somewhat but not significant (P > .05). 2. In ovariectomized groups, PRP showed a positive effect significantly (P < .05). 3. In PRP untreated groups, ovariectomy diminished bone regeneration significantly (P < .05). 4. In PRP treated groups, ovariectomy diminished bone regeneration somewhat but not significant (P > .05). Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it can be concluded that PRP in combination with an osteoconductive synthetic alloplastic substitute has an effect on bone regeneration more significantly in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats than in normal rats.

Simple bone cysts are common, benign bone tumor and for the treatment, curettage with bone grafting, resection and intralesional steroid or autogenic bone marrow injections were usually performed. Simple bone cysts of the calcaneus are relatively uncommon and curettage with autologous bone grafting were proposed for management rather than intralesional steroid injections. We would like to report 9 year-old male with calcaneal simple bone cyst treated satisfactorily by minimally invasive endoscopic curettage and autologous bone grafting with review of the relevant literature.

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different sizes of $\beta$-TCP/ HA particles on vertical bone augmentation using titanium mesh in the cranium of rabbits. Materials and methods: Six white rabbits weighing 5kg were used. Four circular grooves of 6mm diameter were made by trephine, and five small holes were drilled in the inner surface of each circular gooves. Different sizes of grafts (small 0.3 - 0.5 mm, medium 0.5 - 1.0, large 1.0 - 2.0 mm) were placed respectively in the experimental groups. Titanium mesh (height 3 mm, width 6 mm) was placed. After 8weeks healing period, the rabbits were euthanized, and the specimens were prepared for histological findings. New bone formation and remaining graft area were measured to calculate the ratio of areas occupying the inner space of titanium mesh. Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon signed rank-test were used for statistical analysis ($\alpha$ = .05). Results: The experimental groups with $\beta$-TCP/HA graft showed a significantly higher new bone formation (P = .003). Comparing different sizes of $\beta$-TCP/HA, there was no statistical difference in terms of new bone formation. The vertical bone formation (i.e. new bone and graft area) was significantly greater in $\beta$-TCP/HA groups (P = .001). In comparison between different sizes of $\beta$-TCP/HA, medium size group had significantly greater area than large particle size group (P = .039). Conclusion: The use of $\beta$-TCP/HA with titanium mesh showed a higher vertical bone formation, particularly the medium sized $\beta$-TCP/HA particles (0.5 - 1.0 mm) produced better results in vertical bone augmentation.

The present study investigated the effects of variations in decalcification time of demineralized freeze-dried bone on the osteogenic potential of DFDB. Sixteen 3-wall intrabony defects with 4mm depth were surgically created in the mesial aspect of upper and lower anterior teeth of 4 dogs. Following the flap procedure, three test groups with 4 defects each received either freeze-dried bone graft (Group I), demineralized freeze-dried bone graft decalcified for 12hours (Group II), or demineralized freeze-dried bone graft decalcified for 24hours(Group III). The rest of the four defects received the flap procedure-only as the control group. The healing was histologically analyzed after 14 weeks on the length of connective tissue adhesion, new bone formation and new cementum formation. The results were as follows: 1. The length of connective tissue adhesion showed no statistically significant difference in all groups with $0.62{\pm}0.14mm$ for Control, $0.42{\pm}0.11mm$ for Group I, $0.63{\pm}0.43mm$ for Group II and $0.52{\pm}0.11mm$ for Group III. 2. The new bone formation showed no statistically significant difference in all groups with $3.17{\pm}0.24mm$ for Control. $3.15{\pm}0.56mm$ for Group I. $3.22{\pm}0.36mm$ for Group II, and $3.28{\pm}0.74mm$ for Group III. 3. The new cementum formation showed no statistically significant difference in all groups with $4.19{\pm}0.46mm$ for Control, $3.23{\pm}0.64mm$ for Group I, $4.13{\pm}1.82mm$ for Group II. and $3.13{\pm}0.62mm$ for Group III.

The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment plan and treatment procedure such as bone graft material, timing of bone graft and orthodontic treatment in 31 alveolar cleft bone graft patients treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam University Hospital from Jan. 1992 to Dec. 1996. Results obtained were as follows : In total 31 patients of alveolar bone grafts, males(64.5%) were more than females(35.5%). The patients' age ranged between 2 - 33 years of age. Secondary bone grafting was the highest incidence(58.1%) when procedures were undertaken in patients between 6 - 16 years of age. In distribution of cleft side, unilateral clefts(93.5%) were the major part with the left side was larger than the right side. The Missing teeth were found most in lateral incisor, the supernumary teeth were found most between lateral incisor and canine. The most common occlusion before operation was class III malocclusion and anterior cross-bite(65.1%), orthodontic treatment was performed similarly between before and after the bone graft. The most common combined operation with alveolar bone graft was secondary cheiloplasty. The complications were 6 cases of bone defect, a case of oronasal fistula, 3 cases of dehiscence. PMCB and DFDB were used bone graft materials. In marginal bone height after operation, PMCB grafts were higher than DFDB grafts and marginal bone level was increased in the PMCB group but not in the DFDB group.

This study was aimed to suggest to better treatment method of jaw cyst that the maximum diameter was wider than 3cm, using different treatment and clinical and radiographic result. We divided the 60 patients into three groups, group A(20 patients) were treated with cyst enucleation and Decalcified Freeze-Dried Allogeneic Bone(DFDB) graft, group B(20 patients) were treated with cyst enucleation and autogenous bone graft, group C(20 patients) were treated with only cyst enucleation. Each group was evaluated with panoramic radiograph and clinical sign & symptom at pre-op and post-op(immediate, 6, 12, 24, 36 month). Bone density was evaluated with disital densitometer. The result was as follows : 1. Post-Op infection was higher in group C(4 pts.) than in group A(1 pt.) and B(1 pt.) 2. Post-Op gingival recession was higher in group C(3 Pts.) than in group A(1 pt.) and B(1 pt.) 3. Anatomic distortion was higher in group C(3 Pt.) than in group A(1 Pt.), and B(1 pt.) 4. Reoperation was done in two patients who were in group C 5. There were donor site morbidity in two patients 6. There was no significant difference between group A and B in their bony density in their follow up period(p>0.05). 7. There were significant differences between group A, B and group C in their bony density until post-op 24 months but a little differences at post-op 36 months(P<0.01)

The authors reviewed 49 cases(48 patients) of benign bone tumor who had surgical treatment with xenograft at department of orthopedic surgery, Seoul National University Hospital from May, 1980 to May, 1994. Materials consist of 21 males and 27 females. The mean age at operation was 20.1 years(range : 4 -55 years) and the mean follow up period was 25.4 months(range : 7 - 85 months). We did xenograft only in 34 cases and xenograft mixed with autograft in 15 cases(14 cases, from ilium, 1 case from femur). The used materials for xenograft were $Lubboc^{(R)}$ in 29 cases, $Surgibone^{(R)}$ in 17 cases and $Pyrost^{(R)}$ in 3 cases. The average durations when bony union was achieved in radiograph were 13.8 weeks in whole cases, 12.5 weeks(range : 8 - 24 weeks) in $Lubboc^{(R)}$ graft cases and 15.7 weeks(range : 6 - 24 weeks) in $Surgibone^{(R)}$ graft cases. The tumor recurred in 4 cases, 1 case was recurred giant cell tumor at distal femur treated with mixed auto and $Lubboc^{(R)}$ graft and 2 cases were large cystic lesions at the proximal humerus diagnosed as simple bone cyst and at distal tibia diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia treated with $Surgibone^{(R)}$ graft and 1 case was aneurysmal bone cyst of the proximal tibia treated with $Lubboc^{(R)}$ graft. Wound infection occurred in 1 case. More transfusion was done in the cases that the lesion was larger than 5cm, the lesions were in the ilium or femur and the cases that were treated with mixed with autograft. This study implies that benign bone tumor is successfully treqated with curettage and xenograft or xenograft mixed with autograft. And also this method will reduce morbidity of donor site, intraoperative bleeding and post-transfusion complications.
