The purpose of this research was to investigate whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation applied to the rabbit cranial defects grafted with ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) could affect the new bone formation. With 16 New Zealand white rabbits under the same condition, bilateral calvarial bone defects were formed around the sagittal suture line. The defect on the left side was grafted with ${\beta}$-TCP, while on the right side was grafted by harvested autogenous bone. PEMF was applied to 8 rabbits for 8 hours per day. The bony specimen were divided into 3 groups, the group 1 was autogenous bone grafted specimen, the group 2 was ${\beta}$-TCP grafted with PEMF, and the group 3 was ${\beta}$-TCP grafted without PEMF. We investigated the bone regeneration & growth factor expression at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. As a result, BMP 2 was expressed in the group 1 from 2 weeks, the group 2 from 4 weeks, and the group 3 from 6 weeks. BMP 4 was expressed in the group 1 from 2 weeks, in the group 2 and the group 3 from 4 weeks. 4. There was no significant difference in expression pattern of BMP 7, PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-${\beta}$1 during grafted bone regeneration in group 1, 2, and 3. According to our results, PEMF stimulation could be effective on the new bome formation in animal study, and have a feasibility of clinical use.

합성 수산화아파타이트(HAp)와 바인더로서 젤라틴(GEL)을 사용하여 공침법으로 조성비가 서로 다른 HAp/GEL 균질복 합체 4종을 제조하였고, 이 균질복합체를 냉간정수압법으로 성형한 후 공기중에서 여러조건으로 소결하였다. HAp/GEL composite의 소결체는 XRD 및 FT-IR로 결정성 및 구조를 조사하였고, 또한 소결시편은 만능재료시험기(UTM)로 압축강도를 측정하였으며, 파단된 소결시편의 표면은 SEM으로 관찰하였다 HAp/GEL composite는 120$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 소결하였을 경우 부분적인 $\alpha$, $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate로 상전이가 일어났다. 소결체의 기공률은 1.2-30.2% 범위였고, 소결시편의 압축강도는 16.2-60.1㎫ 범위의 값을 나타냄으로써 기공율에 비해 높은 강도를 나타내었다.

합성 수산화아파타이트(HAp)와 바인더로서 폴리아크릴산(PAA)을 사용하여 공침법으로 조성비가 서로 다른 HAp/PAA균질복합체 4종을 제조하였고, 이 균질복합체를 냉간정수압법으로 성형 및 공기중에서 여러조건으로 소결하였다. HAp/PAA composite의 소결체는 XRD 및 U-IR로 결정성 및 구조를 조사하였고, 또한 소결시편은 만능재료시험기(UTM)로 압축강도를 측정하였으며, 파단된 소결시편의 표면은 SEM으로 관측하였다 HAp/PAA composite는 120$0^{\circ}C$ 및 3시간의 소결조건에서 부분적인 $\alpha$, $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate로 상전이가 일어났다. 소결체의 기공크기와 기공률은 각각 0.2~3.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 0.49~13.43% 범위였고, 소결시편의 압축강도는 36.6~58.2 MPa 범위로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 부터 HAp/PAA composite의 소결체는 균일한 기공형태로 인해 우수한 압축강도를 가지는 미세다공성 HAp라고 설명할 수 있다.

Purpose: Previous clinical investigations of sinus floor augmentation have demonstrated repneumatization of grafted sinus. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the height changes of sinus floor after grafting with deprotenized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and beta tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Materials and methods: 34 sinuses in 28 patients were augmented with 100% DBBM or 100% TCP through lateral approaches. Sinusgraft height was measured before, immediately after, and 6 months after bone graft with panoramic radiography. Result: After 6 months, the decreases of graft heights were 14.53% for DBBM group and 15.15% for TCP group. There was no statistically significant difference. Discussion and Conclusion: Long-term stability of sinus-graft height represents an important factor for implant success. After the uses of DBBM and TCP for maxillary sinus floor augmentations, acceptable graft height maintenances were observed.

Biodegradable $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ( $\beta$-TCP)/poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization with microwave energy. The influence of the $\beta$-TCP content in $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites on the molecular weight, crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. As the molecular weight of composites decreased, the $\beta$-TCP content increased up to 10 wt.%, while the excess addition of the $\beta$-TCP content above 10 wt.% the molecular weight increased with increasing of the $\beta$-TCP content. This behavior would be due to the superheating effect or nonthermal effect induced by microwave energy. It was found that the bending strength and Young's modulus of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites was proportional to the molecular weight of PLGA. The bending strength of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites ranged from 18 to 38 MPa, while Young's modulus was in the range from 2 to 6 GPa.

BCP(biphasic calcium phosphate) 분말을 제조하기 위하여 $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$를 출발 물질로 공침법(co-precipitation process)을 이용하여 합성하였다. 합성된 분말의 열처리 전 후의 HAp(Hydroxyapatite)/${\beta}$-TCP(${\beta}$-Tricalcium phosphate) 결정상 비율 및 분광학적 특성을 XRD 및 FT-IR를 이용하여 분석하였다. BCP 분말의 생체활성 거동을 평가하기 위하여 Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution(HBSS)에 침적시켜 시간에 따라 형상, 이온농도의 변화 및 결정상을 분석한 결과 낮은 결정화도의 HAp가 생성됨을 확인하였다. BCP분말의 세포독성 평가에서도 대조군에 비하여 세포성장률이 우수함을 관찰하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to determine the osteoconductivity and dimensional stability of augmented sinuses using different ratios of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) in a rabbit sinus model. Methods: Each sinus of New Zealand white rabbits (2.5-3.5 kg) was assigned to one of two groups: BCP with a hydroxyapatite to ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (HA:${\beta}$-TCP) ratio of 70:30 (group TCP30) and BCP with an HA:${\beta}$-TCP ratio of 30:70 (group TCP70). After preparing a window in the antral wall of a sinus, the Schneiderian membrane was elevated, and the applicable material was grafted. A fluorochrome calcein green was injected five days before euthanizing the animals at four months post-surgery. The specimens were analyzed histologically, histomorphometrically, and by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Results: Micro-CT analysis revealed that the total augmented volume and the new bone volume did not differ significantly between the two groups whereas the resorption of materials was greater in the TCP70 group. The trabecular thickness, number, and separation also did not differ significantly between the two groups. Histomorphometrically, the areas of total augmentation, new bone, and residual material, as well as the ratio of new-bone-material contact did not differ significantly between the groups. Histologically, the residual particles were more scattered in the TCP70 group than in the TCP30 group. The fluorescence of the calcein green did not differ notably between the two groups. Conclusions: The osteoconductivity and dimensional stability of the two BCPs with different ratios tested in this study were comparable after four months of healing. Therefore, we conclude that both BCPs show promise as a bone substitute for sinus augmentation.

Objective: The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the effects of fluoridated, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex (CPP-ACP)-containing, and functionalized ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (fTCP)-containing toothpastes on remineralization of white spot lesions (WSLs) by using Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF-D) Biluminator$^{TM}$ 2. Methods: Forty-eight premolars, extracted for orthodontic reasons from 12 patients, with artificially induced WSLs were randomly and equally assigned to four treatment groups: fluoride (1,000 ppm), CPP-ACP, fTCP (with sodium fluoride), and control (deionized water) groups. Specimens were treated twice daily for 2 weeks and stored in saliva solution (1:1 mixture of artificial and human stimulated saliva) otherwise. QLF-D Biluminator$^{TM}$ 2 was used to measure changes in fluorescence, indicating alterations in the mineral contents of the WSLs, immediately before and after the 2 weeks of treatment. Results: Fluorescence greatly increased in the fTCP and CPP-ACP groups compared with the fluoride and control groups, which did not show significant differences. Conclusions: fTCP- and CPP-ACP-containing toothpastes seem to be more effective in reducing WSLs than 1,000-ppm fluoride-containing toothpastes.

To improve the injection behavior of brushite cement, dense ${\beta}-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ (${\beta}-TCP$) granules were added to the starting material. The spherical ${\beta}-TCP$ granules prepared by spray-drying and subsequent sintering at $1000{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ accounted for fractions of from 0.5 to 0.7 of the total ${\beta}-TCP$. The injection behavior was evaluated by measuring the injected mass divided by the loaded mass of paste in the syringe pump. The injected amount was increased with the increase in the fraction and sintering temperature of ${\beta}-TCP$ granules, except at $1200^{\circ}C$. The increase in the fraction of ${\beta}-TCP$ and its sintering temperature resulted in a decrease in the plastic limit, which is the volume of water required to liquefy the compact. The rest water could be utilized in the cement with the reduced plastic limit for improved injectability. The amounts of rest water assigned for powdery phase were estimated, and correlated with the injectability of paste.
