Purpose: The objective of the present study was to determine the capability of electrospun silk fibroin as a biomaterial template for bone formation when mixed with nano-hydoxyapatite in vivo. Materials and Methods: Ten New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study and bilateral round shaped defects were formed in the parietal bone (diameter: 8.0 mm). The electrospun silk fibroin was coated by nano-hydroxyapatite and grafted into the right parietal bone (experimental group). The left side (control group) did not receive a graft. The animals were sacrificed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks, humanly. The microcomputerized tomogram (${\mu}CT$) was taken for each specimen. Subsequently, they were undergone decalcification and stained for the histological analysis. Results: The average value of all measured variables was higher in the experimental group than in the control at 6 weeks after the operation. BMC in the experimental group at 6 weeks after operation was $48.94{\pm}19.25$ and that in the control was $26.17{\pm}16.40$ (P = 0.027). BMD in the experimental group at 6 weeks after operation was $324.59{\pm}165.24$ and that in the control was $173.03{\pm}120.30$ (P = 0.044). TMC in the experimental group at 6 weeks after operation was $19.50{\pm}6.00$ and that in the control was $10.52{\pm}6.20$ (P = 0.011). TMD in the experimental group at 6 weeks after operation was $508.88{\pm}297.57$ and that in the control was $273.54{\pm}175.91$ (P = 0.06). Gross image of both groups showed higher calcification area at 12 weeks than them in 6 weeks. The average value of ${\mu}CT$ analysis was higher at 12 weeks than that in 6 weeks in both groups. BMC in the experimental group at 12 weeks after operation was $51.21{\pm}8.81$ and that in the control was $33.47{\pm}11.13$ (P = 0.010). BMD in the experimental group at 12 weeks after operation was $323.39{\pm}21.54$ and that in the control was $197.75{\pm}76.23$ (P = 0.012). TMC in the experimental group at 12 weeks after operation was $21.44{\pm}5.30$ and that in the control was $13.31{\pm}4.17$ (P = 0.008). TMD in the experimental group at 12 weeks after operation was $524.47{\pm}19.37$ and that in the control was $299.60{\pm}136.20$ (P = 0.016). Conclusion: The rabbit calvarial defect could be successfully repaired by electrospun silk nano-fiber combined with nano-hydroxyapatite.

이 실험의 목적은 NaOCl과 CHX의 혼합사용 시, 발생하는 침전물의 형성을 막기 위해 두 용액간의 접촉을 줄일 수 있는 여러 가지 방법을 비교하고, 관찰된 침전물의 원소를 분석하는 것이다. 발거된 50개의 단근치를 사용하였으며 2.5% NaOCl을 이용하여 .04 taper ProFile #40까지 근관형성 하였다. 치아는 다음과 같은 근관세척 방법에 따라 4개의 실험군과 1개의 대조군으로 나누었다; 대조군: 2.5% NaOCl, 1군: 2.5% NaOCl + 2% CHX, 2군: 2.5% NaOCl + paper points + 2% CHX, 3군: 2.5% NaOCl + .04/#45 근관확대 + 2% CHX, 4군: 2.5% NaOCl +95% alcohol+ 2% CHX. 근관세척 후 치아를 양분하고 치관부, 중간부, 치근부 세부위로 나누어 전계 방사형 주사 전자현미경을 통하여 잔사 비율, 개방 상아세관 비율, 상아세관 내 물질의 원소분석을 시행하였다. 실험결과, 실험군 사이에 잔사비율과 개방된 상아세관 비율 비교에서 통계학 적으로 유의할 만한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 1 군의 한 시편에서 C의 함유량이 높게 나타났으며 N과 Cl도 함께 검출되어 para-chloraniline으로 추정되며, 1 군의 다른 시편과 나머지 실험군에서는 O, P, C, Ca의 순으로 함유량이 높은 것으로 나타나 수산화인회석으로 추정된다. NaOCl 세척 후 바로 CHX 세척을 한 군에서 PCA로 의심되는 물질이 검출된 바, 두 용액의 직접적인 접촉을 피하기 위해 주의가 필요하며, 본 실험에 사용된 여러 근관 세척방법 이용 시 침전물의 형성을 예방할 수 있을 것이다.
