This is to report a case of secondary reconstruction after partial mandibulectomy by using of marrow-cancellous bone and cortical bone harvested from the iliac crest in the case of an ameloblastoma on the mandible. According to the past experimental studies, the marrow and cancellous bone have the marked osteogenic potential of hematopoietic. And the cortical bone has the highest activity of bone induction, which is mediated through the action of bone morphogenic protein(BMP). This grafting technique, the combination of PMCB and cortical bone, has advantage in restoring lange defect of the mandible.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate exophytically vertical bone formation in residual ridge of the beagle dog by the concept of guided bone regeneration with a titanium reinforced e-PTFE membrane combined with irradiated cancellous human bone. Twelve male beagle dogs(mean age 1.5 years and mean weight 12kg) were used for this study. The alveolar ridges after extraction of all mandibular premolars were surgically and horizontally removed. At 8 weeks after extractions, full-thickness flap was reflected and cortical bone was removed with round bur and copious irrigation. Rectangular parallelepiped(10mm in length, 5mm in width, and 4mm in height) bended with titanium-reinforced e-PTFE(TR e-PTFE) membrane was placed on the decorticated alveolar ridge, fixed with metal pins and covered with full-thickness flap and assigned as a control group. Test groups ere treated with TR e-PTFE membrane filled with irradiated cancellous human bone. Of twelve beagle dogs, four control dogs and four test dogs without membrane exposure to oral cavity were sacrificed at 8 and 16 weeks respectively. The surgical sites were dissected out, fixed in 4% buffered formaldehyde, dyed using a Villanueva staining technique, and processed for embedding in plastic resin. The cutting and grinding methods were routinely processed for histologic and histomophometric analyis of exophytic bone formation as well as statistical analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Exophytic bone formation in the both of experimental groups was increased respectively after surgery from 23.40% at 8 weeks to 46.26% at 16 weeks in the control groups, from 40.23% at 8 weeks to 47.11% at 16 weeks in the test groups(p<0.05). 2. At 8 weeks after surgery, exophytic bone formation was made 40.23% in the test groups and 33.40% in the control groups. Exophytic bone formation was significantly made in the test group more than in the control group. At 16 weeks after surgery, exophytic bone formation was made 44.11% in the test groups and 46.26% in the control groups. Exophytic bone formation was made in the test groups more than in the control groups, but there was no statistically significant differences. 3. The membrane was fixed with metal pins to closely contact it to the bone surface. So, collapse and deviation of the membrane could be prevented and in growth of connective tissue also could be blocked from the periphery of the membrane. On the basis of these findings, wee suggest that intraoral experimental model for exophytic bone formation may be effective to evaluate the effect of bone graft material. And it indicates that combined use of membrane and ICB graft material is more effective than use of membrane only for exophytic bone formation.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various surface treatments by measuring resonance frequency and histomorphometric analyses. Material and methods. In 5 adult dogs, the mandibular premolar were extracted. Six months later, 30 screw titanium implants (Dentium Co., Seoul, Korea) 6mm in length and 3.4mm in diameter, were placed in the mandibles of 5 dogs. Implants were divided into five groups following to surface treatment methods ; Group 1 is machined controls, Group 2 is sandblasted with large grit and acid-etched (SLA), Group 3 is anodized (Autoelectric Co., Korea, 660Hz, Duty10), Group 4 is hydroxyapatite(HA) coated by ion beam assisted deposition(E-beam), Group 5 is hydroxyapatite(HA) coated with Sol-gel coating process. Resonance frequency was measured implant placement immediately, and 3, 6 weeks and 10 weeks of healing perods. With the animal subject's sacrifice 10 weeks after implantation, implants were removed on bloc and histologic and computer-based histomorphometric analyses were performed. Histomorphometric analysis involved quantification of the entire bone to metal contact around the implants. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS for Windows (ver. 9.0 SPSS Inc.) Statistical differences were considered significant at P<0.05. Results. The results were as follows : 1) In five groups, mean value of resonance frequency analysis(RFA) were highest in group 5 (Sol-gel implant) at implantation and those of group 4 (E-beam)was highest at 10 weeks . but there was no correlation between surface treatments and RFA. 2) In all surface treatment groups, the RFA values of implants decreased until 3 weeks and increased to 10 weeks. 3) The percentage of direct bone-to-implant contact (BIC) had statistical significance between five groups in cancellous bone, (P<0.05) the percentage of bone density inside the thread had no statistical significance between five groups. (P>0.05) 4) There was a significant difference between cortical bone and cancellous bone in BIC. (P<0.05) and bone density. (P<0.05) 5) There was a correlation between the RFA value of implants at 10 weeks and BIC in cancellous bone, and between the RFA value of implants at 10 weeks and bone density in cortical bone. (P<0.05). Conclusions. These results indicate that surface treatment does not affect the implant stability in case of good bone quality.

The effect of the hydroxyapatite coatings on Titanium implants has been the subject of recent investigations. So far, the use of HA coating remains substantially controversial.This study was aimed to evaluate histologically the bone healing patterns around titanium plasm sprayed(TPS) amd HA-coated implant after implantation into the femur neck of ten adult dogs. After implantation, animals were sacrificed at the intervals of 2,4,6,8 and 12 weeks.The fluorescent dyes were injected on the postoperative 4th and 12th week into the animals supposed to be killed at the 12th week. The morphology and direction of new bone formation was similar in both TPS and HA-coated implants.There was a tendency toward more bone formation in the cortical bone area than in the cancellous bone area. Histologically,in the interface of the HA-coated implants, bone response and bone maturation was faster, compared to the TPS implants in the 2nd and 4th week. By fluorescent microscopy, new bone formation was active in the 4th week around both implants and was directed from the periosteum overlying cortical bone to the cancellous bone. These results suggest that the bone formation and maturation is faster during the early healing stage in the interface of the HA-coated implant and where the cortical bone quality is poor, HA coated implant is superior to the TPS implant in the early phase of new bone formation.

Recently, the clinical applications of the autogenous cancellous bone from the proximal tibial metaphysis show satisfactory results in the repair of maxillofacial bony defect or deformity. The proximal tibia has the potential to yield viable cancellous bone with a minimum of morbidity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regeneration of a full thickness proximal tibial bone defect with covering or uncovering of cortical bone. The follow-up periods were 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Bone defect of right side was uncovered and left side was covered with cortical bone. In the experimental group (uncovered cortical bone) at 12 weeks, the inside of defect was filled to normal marrow tissue. The cortical bone defect was united of inner, outer callus at 4, 8 weeks in both study group. At 12 weeks, the cortical bone defect was remodeled and invaded by osteoclast (giant cell) in experimental group. In the experimental specimen at 12 weeks, the regenerating tissue of bone defect was not differ from the control group.

Purpose: This study evaluated the clinical and radiological results of 6.5 mm full threaded cancellous bone screw fixation of calcaneal fractures. Materials and Methods: Thirty seven patients diagnosed with Sanders type II or III calcaneal fractures, who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a 6.5 mm full threaded cancellous bone screw between August 2014 and August 2017, were analyzed. Both the preoperative and postoperative Böhler angle and Gissane angle were measured radiographically. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale on the final follow-up were also assessed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.7 years and the mean follow-up period was 29.5 months. In the Sanders classification, type II and III were 16 and 24 cases, respectively. The Böhler and Gissane angles improved from 21.2° and 122.6° preoperatively to 21.6° and 120.3°, respectively, in the postoperative radiographs. All cases achieved bony union, and the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale was 90.7 and 91.3 in Sanders type II and III, respectively, at the final follow-up. Conclusion: The treatment of calcaneal fractures using a 6.5 mm full threaded cancellous bone screw can reduce the complications with minimally invasive surgery and achieve firm fixation.

Purpose: This study was performed to obtain a quantitative evaluation of the cortical and cancellous bone graft harvestable from the mental and canine regions, and to evaluate the cortical vestibular thickness. Materials and Methods: This study collected cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of 100 Italian patients. The limits of the mental region were established: 5 mm in front of the medial margin of each mental foramen, 5 mm under the apex of each tooth present, and above the inferior mandibular cortex. Cortical and cancellous bone volumes were evaluated using SimPlant software (SimPlant 3-D Pro, Materialize, Leuven, Belgium) tools. In addition, the cortical vestibular thickness (minimal and maximal values) was evaluated in 3 cross-sections corresponding to the right canine tooth (3R), the median section (M), and the left canine tooth (3L). Results: The cortical volume was $0.71{\pm}0.23mL$ (0.27-1.96 mL) and the cancellous volume was $2.16{\pm}0.76mL$ (0.86-6.28 mL). The minimal cortical vestibular thickness was $1.54{\pm}0.41mm$ (0.61-3.25 mm), and the maximal cortical vestibular thickness was $3.14{\pm}0.75mm$ (1.01-5.83 mm). Conclusion: The use of the imaging software allowed a patient-specific assessment of mental and canine region bone availability. The proposed evaluation method might help the surgeon in the selection of the donor site by the comparison between bone availability in the donor site and the reconstructive exigency of the recipient site.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between 3D bone architectural parameters and direction-related elastic moduli of cancellous bone of mandibular condyle. Materials and Methods: Two micro-pigs (Micro-$pig^R$, PWG Genetics Korea) were used. Each pig was about 12 months old and weighing around 44 kg. 31 cylindrical bone specimen were obtained from cancellous bone of condyles for 3D analysis and measured by micro-computed tomography. Six parameters were trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), bone specific surface (BS/BV), percent bone volume (BV/TV), structure model index (SMI), degree of anisotropy (DA) and 3-dimensional fractal dimension (3DFD). Elastic moduli of three orthogonal directions (superior-inferior (SI), medial-lateral (ML), andterior-posterior (AP) direction) were calculated through finite element analysis. Results: Elastic modulus of superior-inferior direction was higher than those of other directions. Elastic moduli of 3 orthogonal directions showed different correlation with 3D architectural parameters. Elastic moduli of SI and ML directions showed significant strong to moderate correlation with BV/TV, SMI and 3DFD. Conclusion: Elastic modulus of cancellous bone of pig mandibular condyle was highest in the SI direction and it was supposed that the change into plate-like structure of trabeculae was mainly affected by increase of trabeculae of SI and ML directions.
